Installation Positioning the tumble dryer The tumble dryer can be free-standing or in a stack. Remember that the tumble dryer produces heat and should therefore not be located in a room that is too small. If the room is very small, drying will take longer due to the limited quantity of air. Caution! The machine must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with hinges on the opposite side to those of the tumble dryer. How to assemble the stack: 1. Undo the anti-tilt device. 2.
Installation 4. Attach the plastic cups for fixing the tumble dryer’s front feet to the washing machine’s top cover. This is essential, as only when the tumble dryer’s feet are resting in the plastic cups can you be sure that the dryer is correctly positioned on the washing machine. Break off tag A on the cup fitted on the right-hand side and tag B on the cup fitted on the left-hand side. Then remove the paper from the self-adhesive surface under the plastic cups. A 7.
