• The clearance between the dryer and the floor should not be reduced with objects such as carpets, wood or tape.
• Do not block the ventilation grills found on the plinth of the tumble dryer.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side of the tumble dryer, in such a way that blocks the full opening of the tumble dryer door.
• Once the dryer has been installed, the connections must remain stable. When installing the dryer, make sure that the rear surface is not leaning on anything (e.g. tap, socket).
