[. . . ] • After installation access to the mains plug has to be guaranteed, or the all-pole disconnection has to be possible with a switch.

Packing The packing box may be fully recycled as confirmed by the recycling symbol. Energy saving tips Always dry a full load: depending on the type of laundry and the programme/drying time. By preference use the maximum spin speed allowed by your washing machine, since draining the water mechanically requires less energy. Clean the lint filter after every drying cycle. Place your dryer in a room with a temperature between 15° C and 20° C. In case of higher temperature ventilate the room. Always select the correct programme/drying time for the load in order to obtain the desired drying results. Select the gentle option only with small loads. When drying cotton, for example: dry iron dry and cupboard dry loads together. Start with the iron dry programme/drying time setting, remove the laundry to be ironed at the end of that cycle and dry the remainder of the load on the cupboard dry setting. If the hose and adaptor are not supplied as a standard the optional accessory AMH 577 kit, available at your dealer. Note: If the vent hose is not supplied, the AMH 577 kit, available from your dealer, should be used. Installing the vent hose A. Place a towel or the packing material on the right-hand side next to the dryer. Place the dryer on its right-hand side (seen from the front) on the towel or the packing material. Push the adapter into the hose (see illustration). Attach the air vent hose adapter to the connection located under the dryer and lock it by means of the foreseen lugs. Venting outside • Without kinking it, lead the vent hose outside (inside diameter 10 cm, maximum length with two bends 3 m). • Ensure that the vent hose does not sag when stacking the dryer on a washing machine. It should only be placed horizontally or upwards. • Do not connect to ventilation systems protected by fly nets. These can become clogged and cause malfunctioning of the dryer. [. . . ] Removing the door lock: using a screwdriver, press down on the small rib in the upper opening and extract the door lock by pulling it towards you. Fasten the door on the desired side using the 2 screws. Insert the door lock system on the opposite side and lock it securely. Fix the 2 screws above and below the door lock system. [. . . ]
