Installation
Where to install the tumble dryer
EN
• Install the dryer far from gas
ranges, stoves, radiators or
hobs, as flames may damage it.
If the dryer is installed below a
worktop, ensure there are 10
mm between the upper panel of
the dryer and any objects abo-
ve it, and 15 mm between the
sides of the machine and the
walls or furniture units adjacent
to it. This ensures adequate air
circulation.
Ventilation
• The room must be adequately ventilated while the dryer is
running. Make sure that the dryer is installed in a room free
of humidity and with adequate air circulation. The flow of air
around the dryer is essential to allow water to condense du-
ring drying; the dryer will not function properly if it is placed
in an enclosed space or inside a cabinet.
!
Some condensation may form if the dryer is used in a small
or cold room.
!
We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a
cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the dryer door.
Water drain
If your dryer is installed next to a drain the water can be
plumbed into this drain. This does away with the need to
empty the water container. If the dryer is stacked onto or
installed next to a washing machine it can share the same
drain. The height of the drain must be less than 3' (1 m)
from the bottom of the dryer.
Remove existing hose from position shown in picture A
and fit a suitable length of hose and connect as shown
in picture B.
!
Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked
when the dryer is in its final location.

Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the socket, check the
following:
• Make sure your hands are dry.
• The socket must have an earth connection.
• The socket must be able to withstand the machine's
maximum power output as indicated on the rating plate (see
Description of the tumble dryer).
• The power supply voltage must fall within the values indi-
cated on the data plate (see Description of the tumble dryer).
• The socket must be compatible with the machine's plug. If
not, either the socket or the plug must be replaced.
!
Do not use extension cords.
!
The tumble dryer must not be installed in outdoor spaces,
even if sheltered. It may be very dangerous to expose this
appliance to rain and thunderstorms.
!
Once dryer installation is complete, the electric cord and
plug must be at hand.
!
The electric cord must not be bent or crushed.
!
If the plug to be replaced is of the moulded-on type, it must
be disposed of in a safe way. DO NOT leave it where it can
be plugged into a socket and cause electric shocks.{}
!
The electric cord must be regularly checked and replaced
with a cord specifically designed for this dryer; it must then
be installed by an authorised technician only (see Assistan-
ce). New or longer electric cords are supplied by authorised
dealers at a supplementary cost.
!
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure
to observe these instructions.
!
When in doubt about the above indications, contact a
qualified electrician.
Preliminary information
Once the tumble dryer is installed, clean the inside of the drum before
operating it and remove any dirt accumulated during transportation.
