INSTALLATION
Location
- It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.
- During operation, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, moist air that should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well-ventilated room, this may occur naturally. However, in general, it is recommended to vent the dryer’s exhaust outside via the supplied vent hose.
- The vent should be installed 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.Ensure there are no obstructing items or material (paper, rags etc.) near the air intake louvers.
- To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use,it should be placed on a firm, level surface placed on a firm, level surface.
Important: The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.The appliance must there not be installed in floors that are not resistant to high temperatures.Note: If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet. Do not place any wooden pieces or other objects under the feet to try level the dryer.Level adjustmentWhen pushing down on the edges of the dryer’s top plate, the machine should not move at all. If the machine rocks, adjust the feet.
- Loosen the locknuts.
- Rotate the adjustable feet clockwise to lower the dyer.
- Rotate the feet counter-clockwise to raise the dryer.
- Tighten the locknuts after ensuring the dryer is level.
Note: The locknuts must be tightened after adjustment. Any looseness can cause vibration and noise.The feet must never be removed. Do not place the dryer on deep pile carpets, strips of wood, or similar. This might cause heat build-up and interfere with the operation of the appliance.
Installing the vent hoseTo accommodate for different dryer, installations, the supplied vent hose can be installed into one of two different vent outlets. One is located on the rear of the dryer, the other is on the left-hand side.
- Connect the vent hose to the outlet by removing the ring nut (A).
- Align the arrows on the hose and outlet and secure the hose in place by rotating in a clockwise direction while pushing in firmly.
- The unused vent will need to be sealed using the supplied snap cover (B).
Tips:If the hose is long and the room temperature is low, the moisture might condense inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from collecting in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a 3mm hole in the lowest point of the hose (B) and placing a small container below it.
- Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, ensuring it contains no more than two bends. If the hose is to be permanently attached to a wall/window grille, please consult your local hardware store to obtain the necessary fittings and installation advice.
- Never attach the vent hose to a range hood or a chimney designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel-burning appliance.
- In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
- Ensure 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 on the dryer may cause the dryer to turn off.
OPERATION
Before First Use
- Ensure that the electrical connection complies with the specifications found on the dryer’s rating plate.
- Remove the polystyrene block and any other packaging material from the drum.
- Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we recommend that you place a few damp cloths inside the appliance and dry for 30 minutes. There may be dust inside a brand-new tumble dryer.
