before carrying out any work.

Fit the Hose as Follows:

1.Flip the machine

slowly to the right side.

2. The waste water

pipe is situated at the

right-hand side of the

machine (see the

picture). A grey hose

connects to the bridge

at the left hand side of

the machine. Using

pliers, remove the pipe

retaining clip from the

bridge.

3. Pull the hose off the

in place, check the

bottom to ensure that

the new hose does not

kink when pushing the

tumble dryer into

position.

6. Connect the new

drain hose to the waste

Water pipe.

7. Connect to the

m a i n s e l e c t r i c i t y

supply.

is in different side, wait

at least 4 hours before

switching on so that the

oil can flow back into

Failure to do this could

result in damage to the

compressor.

To avoid emptying the water container after

discharged directly to a waste water drain pipe

(the same drainage system as household

sinks). Water Bye-Laws prohibit connection to

a surface water drain. The waste water drain

pipe should be located adjacent to the tumble

dryer.

The kit consists of:1 hose and 1 tap.

able to operate properly: there is a risk of damage if the

water is allowed to freeze in the hydraulic circuit (valves,

hoses, pumps). For a better product performance the

ambient room temperature must be between +2°C and

+35°C. Please note that operating in cold condition

(between +2 and +15°C) might imply some water

condensation and water drops on floor.

● Please read this instruction book thoroughly.

● Remove all items packed inside drum.

●Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp

cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in

transit.

Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is

suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the

care symbols on each item.

Check that all fastenings are closed and that

pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place

clothes loosely in the drum to make sure that they

don't get tangled.

Do not tumble dry.

If the item does not have a care label it must be

assumed that it is not suitable for tumble drying.

● By amount and thickness

capacity, separate clothes according to

thickness (e.g. towels from thin underwear).

● By type of fabric

Cottons/linen: Towels, cotton jersey, bed and

will save time and electricity.

● Check that the filter is clean before every

drying cycle.

NEVER

● Exceed the maximum weight, this will waste

time and electricity.

● Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer,
