INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION SELECTING A LOCATION 10 cm 5 cm 10 cm You need a space at least 60 cm wide, with at least 10 cm of clearance on both sides and above, and 5 cm of clearance behind the appliance. See the diagram above for an example. Failure to heed the minimum clearance requirements may cause the dryer to overheat. Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear should always be kept free. Do not install the appliance in a room where frost may form.
POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE 4X The dryer can either be free standing on the floor or, using the vacuum feet, on a washing machine of the same dimensions. – minimum width 517 mm, minimum depth 476 mm. The surface on which the dryer is placed should be clean and level. Use the vacuum feet supplied; they are designed to prevent the dryer from sliding.
Make sure to ask a service person for installation. Do not install by yourself. If the installation, test run and inspection of the tumble dryer are not carried out following this installation method, Panasonic will not be liable for any accident or damage caused. Never block the cool air opening (see dryer description). Do not attempt to lift the dryer on your own. Lifting should only be attempted by at least two persons.
INSTALLATION Level the dryer front-back, and leftright, by rotating the adjustable feet which have a range of +/- 1 cm. Use a 22 mm spanner and a spirit level. The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid, clean dry level floor to prevent the unit sliding. Also ensure that the adjustable feet are clean. Vibrations, the appliance moving across the room, or loud operation due to improperly adjusted feet are not covered by the warranty. 17 NH-P8ER1_WGB_En.
CONDENSATE DISCHARGE The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the water container. During the drying process, an indicator light will warn you when the water container is full and which has to be emptied. Interruption of the drying cycle due to the water container being full can be avoided by running the condensate discharge tube, found at the back of the appliance, directly into a drain.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 2h The dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to stabilise. Plug the dryer's mains plug directly into a mains socket. Do not use an extension lead due the possible danger of overheating and fire. The nominal voltage and other information are given on the rating plate located under the door frame.
MOVING AND TRANSPORT If the dryer cannot be transported in the upright position, tilt it to the left side. If the appliance was not transported in compliance with the instructions, the dryer should be left to stand still at least two hours before it is reconnected to the power mains. Failure to do so may result in a heat pump failure which shall not be covered by the warranty. Be careful not to damage the cooling system.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE Open the door on the left side. 1 2 21 NH-P8ER1_WGB_En.indd 21 2015/08/24 510549 Clean the dryer drum before using the dryer for the first time. Use a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent.
