Appliance Equipment

Appliance Overview

1. Control panel
2. Unit door / Bull’s eye
3. Ventilation grille
4. Filter base
5. Service cover
6. Condensation tank
7. Mains plug
8. Unit drum
9. Lint filter

Working principle heat pump
Hot process air flows through the drum and thereby the therein wet laundry.
The humidity of the laundry is absorbed by the air, and then discharged in the heat pump. There, the air is cooled using a refrigerant, which stores the ex- tracted energy.
Energy is not (hardly) getting lost, because this is used to warm the cooled air, which is then trans-ferred to the laundry and thus the circle is closed.

Installation

WARNING: The unit must not be connected to the mains during  installing. Otherwise there is danger to life or electric shock hazard!

Installation location

• The site should be located near a properly grounded power socket. The socket must be freely accessible.
• Good ventilation around the appliance is required, to dissipate the heat properly. Enough clearance must be created for this purpose.
• The free space in front of the unit should be so that the appliance door can be opened without hindrance.
• Make sure that the floor on which the appliance is installed, is even, heat-resistant and clean.
• Take care of a solid and horizontal position of the appliance. If the appliance is not horizontally lev-eled, adjust the feet accordingly (see “Adjust the feet”).

Avoid the installation:

• near heaters, next to a stove, direct sunlight or any other heat sources;
• at locations with high humidity (e.g. outdoors), as metal parts would be susceptible to corro-sion under such circumstances;
• in places where the temperature could drop below 5°C and rinse above 35°C. Do not ex-pose the appliance any weather.
• near volatile or flammable materials (e.g. gas, fuel, alcohol, paint, etc.).
