Installation Rear view Building under a continous worktop / in a kitchen run ,A building-under kit* with a coverplate to replace the appliance lid is required. It must be fitted by a suitably qualified person to ensure electrical safety. N.B. If you wish to push your appliance under a worktop and there is space to do this without removing the lid the building under kit is not necessary. Otherwise the building under kit is essential.
Installation Levelling the tumble dryer Room in which the dryer is located Air taken in for use in the drying process will be warm when it is expelled from the front of the dryer. This expelled air heats up the air in the room. It is therefore very important to ensure that the room is adequately ventilated, particularly if the dryer is located in a small room. Otherwise running times and energy consumption could be increased.
Installation External condensed water outlet ^ There will be a small amount of residual water in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this. General notes When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer. The condensed water can also be drained off directly if the tumble dryer is installed near a sink, drain outlet etc. so that the condensed water container does not have to be emptied. Drain hose length . .
Installation External drainage via a sink or gully ^ See "Front view" illustration. ,If you want to drain the water off into a sink you will need to secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a tap to make sure it cannot slip during use. Otherwise there is a risk of overflowing water which could cause damage. Example: Connection to a sink drain outlet The drain hose with non-return valve fitted can be connected directly to a suitable sink drain outlet.
Installation ^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet using nut 2. If this nut has a flat disc in it you should take the disc out first. ^ Attach the end of the hose 4 to adapter 1. ^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip 3 up close to the nut. ,Non-return valve 5 has to be 1 Adapter 2 Nut 3 Hose clip 4 End of the hose 5 Non-return valve 6 Tumble dryer drain hose 34 fitted with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow (i.e. towards the sink). Otherwise water will not drain out of the appliance.
