User manual

• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the
floor clearance through deeply carpets, strips of
wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which
would interfere with the operation of the appliance.
Important! The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can
reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The appliance must
therefore not be installed on floors which are not
resistant to high temperatures.
When operating the tumble dryer, the room
temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher
than +35°C, as it may affect the performance of the
appliance.
Warning! Should the appliance be moved, it
must be transported vertically.
Warning! The appliance must not be installed
behind the lockable door, a sliding door or a door
with a hinge on the opposite side to that 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 out-
let 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.

Once connected to the dry-
er, run the vent hose to the
desired outlet point, ensur-
ing 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
B
to supply you with the necessary fittings and installation
advice.
Warning!
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 conden-
sation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted
with the flexible hose to carry its “exhaust” at least be-
yond 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 ef-
ficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times
and higher energy consumption. If the hose is com-
pletely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the
machine is fitted may operate. When operating the
tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower
than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it may affect the
performance of the appliance.
Door reversal
To make it easier to load or unload the laundry, the door
can be reversed. The door must only be reversed by
an authorised service engineer. Please contact your
local Service Force Centre. The engineer will carry out
the door reversal at your cost.
Electrical connection
Details on mains voltage, type of current and the fuses
required should be taken from the type plate. The type
plate is fitted near the loading aperture (see “Product
description” chapter).
Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in ac-
cordance with current wiring regulations.
