INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION DRYER PLACEMENT The dryer can be either freestanding 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. Freestanding appliance The dryer may be placed adjacent to a washing machine. If the friction between the dryer feet and the floor is not sufficient, the dryer may move during operation.
Clearance around the dryer for optimum operation 100 mm (4") 50 mm (2") Stacking on top of a washing machine To stack the dryer on top of a washing machine, use the extra vacuum feet and the tipping guard (A+B), supplied in the cardboard box in the dryer drum. Tipping guard part B is designed to fit on ASKO washing machines and it may be hard or impossible to mount on appliances of other brands.
How to stack a dryer onto the washing machine (ASKO): There is a cardboard box in the dryer drum, containing the vacuum feet and the tipping guard. 1 A B The tipping guard consists of two metal parts (A + B). Use two screws to attach the A part to the back of the dryer. 2 Undo the screw on the back side of the washing machine. 3 Use the screw to attach the tipping guard (B part) to the back of the washing machine. 4 Level the washing machine so that it is stable. 1.

AIR EXHAUST other fasteners that extend into the duct and catch lint. The tumble dryer must only be operated when it is correctly fitted with exhaust duct. Connecting the exhaust duct to the dryer You will need to purchase a UL-CSA-approved 4" ridged metal exhaust duct. The dryer is delivered with the stub pipe attached to the rear exhaust outlet, though the exhaust duct can be attached to either the left or the right exhaust outlet.
Connecting to a ventilation duct You will need a UL-CSA-approved, 4-inch ridged metal exhaust duct. If a flexible duct is used, it must comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct. Subject 2158A and maximum length of 2.4 m (8 feet). The more bends and the longer the duct, the less air will circulate through the machine, which will impede drying performance. We recommend that you cut off any excess exhaust duct and run the duct with as few bends as possible.
