INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

SELECTING THE ROOM

Ventilation slots and the opening on the front and rear side should always be kept free.

Do not install the appliance in a room where there is danger of frost.

The room in which the appliance is installed should be adequately ventilated, with temperature between 10^ C and 25^ C. When the dryer is operated at a lower ambient temperature, condensate can accumulate in the appliance interior. Frozen water in the condensate tank or pump may damage the dryer.

The surrounding illumination in the installation room should be adequate to read the front panel properly.

When installing the dryer in a room, note the required clearance as indicated in the image. In case of failure to heed the required minimum clearance, the dryer may overheat.

POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE

Positioning the appliance on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feet or side by side.

Dryer can be stand freely on the floor or on a washing machine of the same dimensions - minimum width 517 mm, minimum depth 476 mm. The surface on which the dryer is placed should be clean and level.

Use the vacuum feet attached; they are designed to prevent the dryer from sliding. (Vacuum feet are attached or can be purchased (depending on model))

Washing machine on which you wish to install the dryer must be able to bear the weight of the dryer (see washing machine's rating plate or technical information).

Do not place the dryer behind lockable or sliding door or door with a hinge opposite the dryer. Install the dryer in such way that the door can always be freely opened.

Never block the cool air opening (see dryer description).

Drying machine on top should be placed by at least two persons.

Do not place the dryer on a carpet with long fibres as this may impede air circulation.

The appliance may not be in contact with a wall or adjacent furniture.

INSTALLATION

Level the dryer in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet which allow levelling by +/- 1 cm. Use key nr. 22 and spirit level.

Floor on which the machine is placed must have a concrete base. They must be clean and dry; otherwise, the machine may slide. Also clean the adjustable feet.

The appliance must stand level and stable on a solid base.

Vibrations, moving of the appliance across the room, or loud operation due to improperly adjusted feet are not covered by the warranty.

Sometimes, unusual or loud noise may appear during appliance operation; these are mostly the result of improper installation.

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE

The moisture from the laundry is extracted in the condenser unit and accumulated in the condensate tank.

During the drying process, a control light will warm you of a full condensate tank which has to be emptied.

Interruption of the drying cycle due to full condensate tank can be avoided by running the condensate discharge tube found at the back of the appliance directly into a drain.

1 Pull the tube to remove it with flat screw-driver, from the holder on the appliance back wall (on the left hand side under the cover).

2 Install tube into the drain, at a height of 80 cm from the ground.

If the condensate discharge tube is run into a drain, make sure the tube is firmly secured. This will prevent any water spillage which could result in unexpected damage.

In this case, the steam generator tank will not be filled automatically. It will always require manual filling (see section Filling and replenishing the steam generator tank).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to stabilize.

Use the power cord to connect the dryer to the power mains through a power outlet. The dryer may not be connected to the power mains through an extension cable (danger of overheating and fire). Nominal voltage and other information is given on the rating plate located under the door frame.

To prevent from damage by excess voltage on the mains due to lightning strike we recommend to use a class I over-voltage protector between the machine and the mains.

After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible. The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations).

A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person authorized by the manufacturer.

MOVING AND TRANSPORT

After transport, the dryer should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is connected to the power mains to allow the system to stabilize. We recommend that installation and connection should be done by a qualified person.

SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT

After each drying certain amount of condensed water is retained in the appliance. Switch on the appliance and choose one of the programs, then let the appliance operate for approximately half a minute. This will pump out the remaining water and prevent damage to the dryer during transport.

If the appliance was not transported in compliance with the instructions, the dryer should be left to stand still at least two hours before it is reconnected to the power mains.

Before connecting the appliance, read the instructions for use. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the warranty.

The belt can be replaced by a servising engineer only, who incorporates an original spare part with the marking OPTIBELT EPH 1906, code 104265, OPTIBELT 8 EPH 1941, code 160165 (depending on model).

EMPTYING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH STEAM GENERATOR)

Before transporting a dryer that has been previously used, the steam generator tank must also be emptied. Otherwise, water from the tank may spill into the dryer interior. Move the dryer approximately 40 cm away from the wall and tilt it backwards.

1 The steam generator tank emptying plug is located on the front side (lower right hand side).
2 Place an empty vessel under the plug (approximately 2 l) and pull out the plug
3 When the water is discharged, replace the plug (if the plug is not replaced, water will spill from the dryer during the next drying cycle).

STEAM GENERATOR SYSTEM (DEPENDING ON THE MODEL)

Care and treatment of your laundry with steam.

Use steam to straighten the creases and refresh the laundry. The

laundry will become soft and smooth, making ironing much easier

After the end of the drying program, immediately remove the laundry from the dryer to prevent it from creasing again.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Make sure the dryer is unplugged. Then, open the door by pulling the left side of the door towards you.

Clean the dryer drum before using the dryer for the first time. Use a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

(MODEL WITH STEAM GENERATOR)

If you select one of the steam programs as the first program to be run with your dryer, first add distilled water to the steam generator tank; the dryer needs the distilled water to generate steam.

If the steam generator tank is empty, none of the steam programs will be available. "LO" (steam generator tank empty) will appear on the display. Later, the system is automatically filled with condensed water accumulated during the drying process.

Only use distilled water. Do not use regular tap water or any additives. Limescale may damage the heater. Malfunction or failure due to accumulation of limescale is not covered by the warranty.

Add distilled water when the appliance is switched on and one of the steam programs is selected (but before starting any drying program). Otherwise, the level sensor will not operate and water may overflow to the dryer interior.

FILLING AND REPLENISHING THE STEAM GENERATOR TANK

(MODEL WITH STEAM GENERATOR)

1 Remove the condensate tank.

2 Slowly add distilled water to the steam generator tank filter.

By slowly pouring, you will prevent the water from flowing down the front wall of the appliance. (Steam generator tank is not visible as it is located in the dryer interior; only the steam generator tank filter is visible.

When the steam generator tank is full, "FULL" will be displayed on the screen and an acoustic alarm will be emitted.

TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DRYING AND ECONOMIC USE OF YOUR DRYER

The most economical way of drying is to dry the recommended amount of laundry in each batch (see Program Table).

Drying laundry made of particularly delicate fabrics that may be deformed is not recommended.

Use of conditioner in the washing cycle is not necessary as the laundry is soft and smooth after drying in the dryer. Drying time will be shorter and power consumption will be lower if the garments are thoroughly wrung or spun before drying. By selecting the appropriate drying program, you will avoid overdrying your laundry and problems with ironing or shrinkage of fabric.

Regular cleaning of the filters will lead to optimum drying time and minimum power consumption.

When drying smaller amounts of laundry or individual garments, the sensor may not perceive the actual level of moisture in the laundry. In such cases, it is recommended to dry smaller items or amounts with programs for dryer laundry or with the timed program.

DISPOSAL

Packaging is made of environmentally friendly materials that can be recycled, disposed of, or destroyed without any hazard to the environment. To this end, packaging materials are labelled appropriately.

The symbol on the product or its packaging indicates that the product should not be treated as normal household waste. The product should be taken to an authorized collection center for waste electric and electronic equipment processing.
