INSTALLATION

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the

machine is positioned close to your washing

machine.

Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain

amount of warm, very moist air, and this should

be removed from the room as quickly as possible

to prevent condensation. In an extremely well

ventilated room or close to an open window, this

may occur naturally.

However, in general, it is better to carry the

dryer's exhaust outside via a 100 mm diameter

flexible hose (available through your dealer);

ending either temporarily at an open window, or

permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to

an exterior wall or window.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean

place, where dirt does not build up.

Make sure there are no obstructing items or

material near the air-intake louvres provided at

the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).

To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when

the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm,

level surface.

Once in its permanent operating position, check

that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a

spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the two

adjustable feet at the front of the machine until it

is.

The feet must never be removed.

Do not restrict the floor clearance through

deep-pile carpets, strips of wood or similar.

This might cause heat build-up which would

interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Important

When operating the tumble dryer, the room

temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may

affect the performance of the appliance.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of

vent outlets: one at the back, the others in the left

and right-hand side.

Connect the hose to whichever is the more

convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the

vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose

and pushing it firmly back into place.

The unused vents should now be sealed with the

special snap covers provided.

P1027

ENGLISH

Advice: If the hose is long and the room

temperature low, the moisture might condense to

water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable

natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from

Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble

dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia.

3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to

place a small container below it.(See picture,

point A).

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to

the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run’s

overall length is less than 2 m, and that it

contains no more than two bends. As to the outlet

itself, if you have decided on a fixed wall/window

grille, a good local builder’s merchant should be

able to supply you with the necessary fittings and

installation advice.

It is important not to connect the

vent hose to, for example, a cooker

hood, or a chimney or flue pipe

designed to carry the exhaust from

a fuel burning appliance.

Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is

essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible

hose to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the

kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen.

In order to prevent the appliance from

overheating, it is important that the steam

exhaust is unobstructed.

Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to

an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an

exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h.

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units,

make sure that the vent hose is not squashed.

If the hose is partially squashed, drying

efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer

drying times and higher energy consumption.

If the hose is completely squashed, the safety

cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may

operate.

P0055

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the laundry

the door can be reversed.

This operation must be carried out by

qualified personnel.

Operate as follows:

- Remove the door by unscrewing the two screws

(1) fastening the hinge to the cabinet (Fig. A).

- Remove the safety catch (2) and the plug (3) by

bending the two fastening tags (Fig. A).

- Refit the safety catch (2) and plug (3) on the

door by reversing their positions (Fig. B).

- Remove the plastic plate (4) by unscrewing the

two fastening screws (Fig. A).

- Refit the plastic plate (4) on the opposite side

(Fig. B).

- Refit the door by screwing in the two screws (1)

which fasten the door to the cabinet (Fig. B).

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your

dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on

top of your washing machine.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a

220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation

can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW),

also taking into account any other appliances in

use.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability

should this safety measure not be

observed.

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug

fitted.

In the event of having to change the fuse in the

plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved

(BS1363A) fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any

reason, proceed as described below.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in

accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

The wire coloured green and yellow must be

connected to the terminal marked with the letter

«E» or by the earth symbol or coloured

green and yellow.

The wire coloured blue must be connected to

the terminal «N» or coloured black.

The wire coloured brown must be connected to

the terminal marked «L» or coloured red.

Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray

strands of wire present and the cord clamp must

be secure over the outer sheath.

WARNING:

A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp

socket is a serious safety (shock)

hazard.

Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed

of safely.

ENGLISH

1 Programme Chart

This will help you to select the correct time for

drying.

2 Low Temperature Button

Press this button to reduce the temperature when

drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items.

In this case you should select a longer drying

time.

On the programmes for synthetics the

temperature is automatically reduced.

Therefore it is not necessary to depress this

button.

3 Cool Tumbling Button

By depressing this button the heat is cut off. This

is particularly useful to freshen the laundry (e.g.

to remove a persistent odour of moth-balls).

4 Mains-On Light

This lights up when the machine starts operating

and goes out at the end of the programme.

5 Drying Time Selector Dial

The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles,

one of up to 120 minutes at a high temperature

for cotton and linen, and one of up to 80 minutes

at a low temperature for synthetic fabrics.

To set the machine to the selected time, turn the

dial clockwise until the time you want coincides

exactly with the pointer.

NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an

anticlockwise direction.

When selecting the drying time, you should

remember that it includes a 8 minute cooling

phase (position on the dial).

This phase should not be shortened, stopped or

avoided, as this could cause skin burns or

damages to the laundry.

Additional drying

If at the end of the programme the laundry is still

too damp, set the dial for a further period of

drying (remembering to take into account the

cooling period).

Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).

The laundry must be suitably spin dried in your washing machine before being placed in the tumble

dryer (500rpm minimum).

Drying times vary according to:

- The type of laundry

- The size of the load

- The degree of spinning prior to drying

Drying times are given as a guide only. Experience will soon enable you to estimate the drying time

needed for your usual laundry loads.

Do not start by selecting a long drying time. It is better to determine the required degree of dryness by

gradually increasing the drying time.

For a mixed load (cotton and resistant synthetics, for example) select the time for the most delicate

fibres and increase it by 10 mins.
