INSTALLATION APPLIANCE POSITIONING The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean position, where dirt does not collect. Aïr must flow freely around the appli- ance. Make sure that the front airflow slots in the bottom of the appliance are not blocked To keep vibration and noise at the minimum, when the tumble dryer op- erates, it must be put on a stable and flat surface When the appliance is put in its per- manent position, check if is fully level with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, adjust the feet until it is. Do not remove the feet. Do not de- crease the floor clearance through thick carpets, bar of wood or equiva- lent. This can increase the heat which can cause interference with the oper- ation of the appliance.

+ The temperature of the hot air which occurs in the tumble dryer can increase to 60 °C. The appliance must not be in- stalled on the floor which is not resistant to high tempera- tures. When the tumble dryer oper- ates, the room temperature must not be lower than +5 °C and higher than +35 °C. This can cause unwanted effect on the performance of the appli- ance. If it is necessary to move the appliance, it must be moved vertically. The appliance must not be in- stalled behind a lockable door, a sliding door, a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance in such a way that a full open- ing of the tumble dryer is re- stricted. ENGLISH 51 It is possible to adjust the height of the tumble dryer. To do that adjust the feet (see picture). UNPACKING AN CAUTION! Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed To remove the polystyrene blockages

1. Open the load door.

2. Pull 2 plastic hoses with the poly-

styrene blockages out from the drum.

COUNTER The appliance can be installed as free- standing or below the kitchen counter with correct space (see picture).

THE LOAD DOOR REVERSAL

The load door can be installed by the user in the opposite side. It can help to easily put and remove the laundry or if there is a limit to install the appliance. (see separate leaflet). ELECTRICAL CONNECTION + Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations. Make sure that the electrical data on the rating plate agrees with the pow- er supply. Always use a correctly installed shockproof socket. Do not use multiple plugs and exten- sion cables. There is a risk of fire. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Centre. Make sure not to squash or cause damage to the mains plug and cable behind the appliance Do not pull the mains cable to dis- connect the appliance. Always pull the mains plug, The plug must be dry.
