• The appliance should not be installed behind a lockable door a sliding door or a door with a hinge.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.

INSTALLATION

Product Description

Installation

• Installation Position Selection
  Dryer should be placed in a ventilated area with not less than 10cm distance from the wall. It is suggested there are no obstacles within 1.5m in front of dryer to keep the appliance well ventilated.
  !! This appliance is not designed to be used in out buildings, garages or any place where the ambient temperature will drop below 5°C. Due to its use of sensors it will run but not heat therefore clothes will not dry !!

• Level Adjusting
  Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, adjust the feet with a tool.

Note!
If the dryer can’t be placed horizontally (the lean angle is no more than 2°) this may cause the appliance to be unbalanced and stop working.

Notice when installing:

• Do not install the dryer in the open air (outside) or in a place easily damaged by rain/water.
