INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
DRYER PLACEMENT
The dryer can be either free standing or installed on
top of a washing machine.
The dryer emits heat. Therefore, do not place it in
a very small room, as the drying process may be
longer due to limited amount of ambient air.
Do not place the dryer in a room where
temperature can drop below 0 °C, as the machine
may not operate correctly at such low temperatures,
or freeze, which in turn can result in damage to the
machine.
For optimum dryer operation, install it in a room with
adequate ventilation and a temperature between
10 °C and 25 °C.
Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding
door, or door with a hinge on the opposite side of the
dryer door hinge. Install the dryer in such way that the
door can always be freely opened.
As this is a vented dryer, it does not have a
condensate tank. The handle has solely a decorative
purpose and it fi xed; it is not intended for opening. If
excessive force is applied, the handle may break.
Never block the air vents.
At least two persons are required to install the
tumble dryer on top of a washing machine.
Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fi bres
as this may impede air circulation.
Free-standing appliance
The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing
machine.
If the friction between the dryer feet and the fl oor is not
suffi cient, the dryer may move during operation.
To prevent sliding, use a non-slide mat or install the
supplied vacuum feet onto both front feet.
Place the dryer so that it is stable. Use a spirit
level to level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse
direction by rotating the adjustable feet using a No.
22 spanner (max. 15 mm). Then, fi rmly tighten the
jam nuts (counter nuts) by rotating them towards the
appliance bottom using a No. 17 spanner
.
