Installing your tumble dryer

Bringing it all together

CORRECT USE

ATTENTION: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

ATTENTION: Make sure that pets do not enter the dryer. Check the inside of the dryer before using it.

ATTENTION: Superheating of clothes inside of the dryer can occur if you cancel the program or in the event of a power failure whilst the dryer is running. This concentration of heat can cause self-combustion so always activate the Refresh program to cool down or quickly remove all laundry from the dryer to hang them up and dissipate the heat.

• Use the dryer only for household drying and to dry fabrics with a label that indicates they are suitable for drying. All other uses are out of the scope of intended use and are prohibited.
• The warranty will be void in case of any commercial use.
• This appliance is designed to be used inside domestic residences only and should be placed on a straight and stable surface.
• Do not lean against or sit on the door of the dryer. The dryer may tip over.
• To maintain a temperature that will not harm the laundry (e.g. to prevent the laundry from catching fire), a cooling process starts after the heating process. After this, the program ends. At the end of the program, always remove the laundry promptly.

ATTENTION : Never use the dryer without a lint filter or with a damaged lint filter.

• Lint filters must be cleaned after each use as indicated in Cleaning the Lint Filter Section.
• Lint filters must be dried after wet cleaning. Wet filters might cause malfunction during the drying process.
• Lint accumulation must not be allowed around the tumble dryer (not applicable for appliances intended to be vented to the exterior of the building)
  • IMPORTANT : The clearance between the dryer and the floor should not be reduced with objects such as carpets, wood, or panels. In these instances, sufficient air intake cannot be ensured for the machine.
• Do not install the dryer in rooms where there is a risk of freezing. Freezing temperatures negatively affect the dryer’s performance. Condensed water that freezes in the pump and hose may cause damage.

INSTALLING ON TOP OF A WASHING MACHINE

ATTENTION : A washing machine cannot be placed on the dryer. Pay attention to the warnings below when installing the dryer on a washing machine.

ATTENTION : The dryer can only be placed on washing machines that have the same capacity and above.

• To use the dryer on the washing machine, a fixing part must be used between the two products. The fixing part must be attached by an Authorised Service Provider.
• When the dryer is placed on the washing machine, the total weight of these products may reach almost 150 kilograms (when loaded). Place the products on a solid floor that has a load-bearing capacity!

To put the washing machine onto the dryer, a special stacking kit is required as an optional extra. Please contact customer service to acquire. The assembly instruction will be served together with the stacking kit

CONNECTION TO WATER OUTLET
(WITH OPTIONAL DRAIN HOSE)

In products with a Heat pump, water accumulates in the water tank during the drying process. You must empty the accumulated water after each drying process. If the optional drain hose is included with your product, you can use this to bypass the water tank and drain the water outside by following the steps below:

CONNECTING THE WATER DRAIN HOSE

if supplied

1. Pull and take out the end of the hose from the dryer. Do not use any tools to take out the hose.
2. Fit one end of the water discharge hose, which is provided with the product, to the slot from which you have removed the hose.
3. Fix the other end of the water discharge hose directly to the water outlet or sink.

ATTENTION : The hose must be connected in a manner that it cannot be displaced. If the hose comes out during water discharge, flooding in your home may occur.

IMPORTANT : The water discharge house must be installed at a height of 80 cm maximum.

IMPORTANT : The water discharge hose must not be bent between the outlet and the product, folded or stepped over.

ADJUSTING THE FEET

• The main cable of the dryer is equipped with a special plug. This plug must be connected to an earthed socket protected by a fuse of 13 Amperes as indicated on the type plate. The fuse current rating of the power line where the outlet is connected must also be 13 amperes. Consult a qualified electrician if you do not have such an outlet or fuse.
• Our company cannot be held responsible for damages resulting from usage without earthing.

IMPORTANT : Operating your machine at low voltage values will shorten the service life and decrease the performance of your machine.

UNDER COUNTER INSTALLATION

• Leave at least 3 cm of space between the side and rear walls of the product and the underside of the worktop when installing your product under a counter.
• Assembly/disassembly under the counter if neccessary must be done by authorized service.

Energy Efficiency

• You should operate the dryer to full capacity, but make sure that it is not overloaded.
• When the laundry is being washed, the spin speed should be at the highest level possible. This will shorten the drying time and reduce energy consumption.
• Make sure that the same kinds of laundry are dried together.
• Please follow the recommendations in the user manual for program selection.
• For air circulation, leave an appropriate clearance on the front and back sides of the Dryer. Do not cover the grills on the front side of the machine.
• Unless necessary, do not open the door of the machine when drying. If you have to open it, do not keep it open for a long time.
• Do not add new (wet) laundry during the drying process.
• Hairs and lint that detach from the laundry and merge in the air are collected by the “Lint Filters”. Please make sure that the filters are cleaned before and after each use.
• For models with a heat pump, make sure that the heat exchanger is cleaned at least once a month or after each 30 uses.
• During the drying process, the environment where the dryer is installed must be well-ventilated.
