CE DECLARATIONS OF CONFORMITY

This appliance has been manufactured to the strictest standards and complies with all applicable legislation, Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

INSTALLATION

  • The tumble dryer is fully compatible with any 600mm deep kitchen units

ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE DRYER

The 4 adjustable feet allow the height of the dryer to be adjusted from 825mm to a maximum of 845mm. Once the tumble dryer is in place, you can adjust the height by rotating the adjustable feet, to ensure the machine is level.

NOTE: We suggest to put the dryer at the maximum height possible in order to avoid tilting, leaving at least 5mm from the top of the furniture. Before fixing the hinges it’s necessary to determine the depth of the dryer from the front part of the kitchen according to the depth of the kick plate (see diagram) and choose the right installation option. The distance does not consider the thickness of the kick plate of the kitchen.

MOUNTING THE FURNITURE DOOR TO THE APPLIANCE

When the position of the plinth is set back less than 54mm from the front of the furniture, install it according to the following:

Position the template onto the reverse of the furniture door. It is possible to mount the hinges and closure magnet on the right or left-hand side depending on your requirements. Mark the screw hole positions then drill them out.

NOTE: We suggest mounting the furniture door so that it opens towards the left, same direction as the porthole door.

  • Fix the hinges in place (on the door) with the 4 screws provided (1).
  • Fix the magnet (2) in place using screw (3).
  • If necessary, use the gasket (4) to adjust and achieve the appropriate assembly (downside).
  • Mount the plate (5) on the right or left-hand side, depending on your installation requirements.
  • Place the plastic support (6) under the plate and fix it in position with a screw (7).
  • Mount the furniture door to the front of the dryer using the hinges.
  • Fix the spacers (1) in place with the 2 screws (2) and then fix the hinges with 2 screws (3).

PLINTH VENTILATION

The plinth must have ventilation slots (min side/diameter 127mm hole) according to the dimensions on the fixing template. If the plinth is not high enough to accommodate the entire hole, cut only part of it.

  • Place the template onto the reverse of the plinth. Mark the screw hole positions, then drill them out.
  • Fix the plinth to the kick plate using the 6 screws provided. (J)

NOTE: This is only possible with some types of the kick plate (e.g. wood or plastic). We suggest checking with the kitchen suppliers.

  • Fix the kick plate to the dryer.
  • When using the full door, the door must have min Ø127mm hole across the slots of the kick plate.

WARNING: Without the airflow ventilation hole in the furniture door/plinth we can not guarantee the correct functionality of the appliance.

PLINTH GRILLE

  • When installing the appliance with a 150mm high (or less) plinth, it is possible to purchase a stainless-steel grille (GRILL/SENSE300) for the plinth cut out. To purchase, visit www.caple.co.uk.

ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION – MOUNTING THE FURNITURE DOOR TO THE CARCASS

When the position of the plinth is set back more than 55 mm from the front of the furniture, install according to the following:

NOTE: Components not supplied:

  • Hinges
  • Supports
  • Doorstop

Firstly, slide the dryer into an opening of the size indicated on page 13.

NOTE: As soon as the hinges are fixed on the furniture is not possible to slide the dryer in and out.

  • Fix the door of the furniture with standard] hinges and supports (not supplied) and stop the door with an std hook (not supplied). Pay attention to positioning the bottom hinge 40mm above the kick plate in order to facilitate its removal.
  • Fix the hinges on the door furniture.
  • Use the Nº4 mount caps (7) to cover all the holes on the front of the dryer.
  • If the distance between the top of the dryer and the top of the furniture is more than 10mm, fix the Nº2 L metal brackets (K) to the furniture sides, to avoid possible tilting. A furniture plinth may now be run across the front of the dryer, but it’s height will be dictated by the front kick plate.

OPERATION

Before using the tumble dryer for the first time

  • Please read this instruction booklet thoroughly.
  • Remove all items packed inside the drum.
  • Wipe the inside of the drum and door with a damp cloth to remove any dust which may have settled in transit.

CLOTHES PREPARATION

  • Make sure that the laundry you are going to dry is suitable for drying in a tumble dryer, as shown by the care symbols on each item.
  • Check that all fastenings are closed and that pockets are empty. Turn the articles inside out. Place cloths loosely in the drum to make sure that they don’t get tangled.

DO NOT TUMBLE DRY

  • Silk, Nylon stockings, delicate embroidery, fabrics with metallic decorations, and garments with PVC or leather trimmings.

IMPORTANT

  • Do not dry articles which have been treated with a dry cleaning fluid or rubber cloths (danger of fire or explosion).
  • During the last 15 minutes, the load is always tumbled in cool air.

ENERGY SAVING

Only put into the tumble dryer laundry which has been thoroughly wrung or spin-dried. The drier the laundry the shorter the drying time thus saving electricity.

Always: Check that the filter is clean before every drying cycle.

Never: Put dripping wet items into the tumble dryer, this may damage the appliance.
