Before the calling the nearest Authorized Service for the installation of the dryer, ensure that electrical installation and water drain is appropriate referring to the user's manual.(See 4.4 Connecting to the drain and 4.6 Electrical connection) If they are not suitable, contact a qualified electrician and technician to make necessary arrangements.

	Preparation of the dryer's location as well as the electrical and waste water installations is under customer's responsibility.
	Prior to installation, visually check if the dryer has any defects on it. If the drier is damaged, do not have it installed. Damaged products cause risks for your safety.
	Let your dryer wait for 12 hours before starting to use it.

4.1 Appropriate installation location

Install the dryer on a stable and level surface.

Dryer is heavy. Do not move it by yourself.

Operate your dryer in a well ventilated, dust-free environment. The gap between the dryer and the surface should not be reduced by the materials such as carpet, wood and tape.

Do not cover the ventilation grills of the dryer.

There must not be a lockable, sliding or hinged door that may block the opening of the loading door in the place where your dryer is to be installed.

Once the dryer is installed, it should

stay at the same place where its connections have been made. When installing the dryer, make sure that its rear wall does not touch anywhere (tap, socket, etc.).

Place the dryer at least 1 cm away from the edges of other furniture. Your dryer can be operated at temperatures between +5°C and +35°C. If the operating conditions fall outside of this range, operation of the dryer will be adversely affected and it can get damaged.

Do not place the dryer on the power cable.

4.2 Removing the transportation safety assembly

Remove the transportation safety assembly before using the dryer for the first time.

Open the loading door.

There is a nylon bag inside the drum that contains a piece of styrofoam. Hold it from its section marked with XX XX.

Pull the nylon towards yourself and remove the transportation safety assembly.

Check that no part of the transportation safety assembly remains inside the drum.

4.3 Under counter installation

This product can be installed under a counter if the height of the counter is sufficient.

While using undercounter dryer, it should never be operated without undercounter installation part. For the appropriate undercounter installation part contact the Authorized Service.

Dryer Depth	60 cm	54 cm
Stock number of under-bench installation part	2979700200	2973600200

Leave at least 1 cm of space around the sides and the rear wall of the dryer when installing it under a counter.

If installed under a countertop, drying durations can extend.

4.4 Connecting to the drain

In products equipped with condenser unit, water accumulates in the water tank during the drying cycle. You should drain accumulated water after each drying cycle.

You can directly drain accumulated water through the water drain hose supplied with the product instead of periodically draining the water collected in the water tank.

Connecting the water drain hose

1-2 Pull hose at the behind of the dryer by hand in order to disconnect it from where it is connected. Do not use any tools to remove the hose. 3 Connect one end of the drain hose supplied with the dryer to the connection point from where you removed the hose of the product in previous step.

4 Connect the other end of the drain hose directly to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

Hose connection should be made in a safe manner. Your drain house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge.

Water drain hose should be attached to a height of maximum 80 cm.

Make sure that the water drain hose is not stepped on and it is not folded between the drain and the machine.

4.5 Adjusting the feet

In order to ensure that the dryer operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Turn the feet to left or right until the dryer stands level and firmly.
