To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be placed on a firm, level surface. Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is. A P1028 A P1027 Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it. (See picture, point B). P1056 B P0046 Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run's overall length is less than 2. 5 m, and that it contains no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good local builder's merchant should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings and installation advice. 7 ENGLISH 125986521. qxp 2007-03-22 12:29 Page 8 It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance. Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 220 V, single-phase, 60 Hz supply. Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2. 2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use. Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. P0055 Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its "exhaust" at least beyond the kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen. In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed. Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h. If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption. If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may operate. The appliance is supplied with a 10amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 10amp ASTA approved (BS1363A) fuse must be used. Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below. The corresponding pilot light comes on. 3 Start button This button is used to switch the dryer on. At the end of the programme, release this button by pressing it again to switch the dryer off. When selecting the drying time, you should remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase (position on the dial). This phase should not be shortened, stopped or avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damages to the laundry. [. . . ] · Always follow the instructions on garment labels: may be tumble dried normal drying (high temperature) delicate drying (low temperature) do not tumble dry · Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings. · Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required. · Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy. 12 125986521. qxp 2007-03-22 12:30 Page 13 Maintenance and Cleaning You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
