INSTALLATION Positioning It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine. Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an open window, this may occur naturally.
Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it.(See picture, point A).
Door reversal To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed. This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Operate as follows: - Remove the door by unscrewing the two screws (1) fastening the hinge to the cabinet (Fig. A). - Remove the safety catch (2) and the plug (3) by bending the two fastening tags (Fig. A). - Refit the safety catch (2) and plug (3) on the door by reversing their positions (Fig. B).
