SAFETY ADVICES BEFORE USING THE DRYER / CONNECTIONS

1. Removing the packaging and check

• After unpacking, make sure that the dryer is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the dryer. Contact After-Sales Service or your local retailer.
- If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few hours before operating.
- Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous.
- Remove the protective foil from the control panel.

2. Electrical Connections

• Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions and current standard safety regulations.
• Electrical connection must comply with local Electricity Board regulations.
• Voltage information, power consumption and the required fuse protection is shown on the rating plate mounted at the rear of the dryer.
• The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for personal injury or damage to property resulting from failure to adhere to these instructions.
  • The dryer must be earthed as prescribed by law.
  • Do not use extension leads or multiple adaptors.
• Before any maintenance on the dryer disconnect it from the mains supply.
• Do not operate the dryer if it has been damaged during transport. Contact one of our After-Sales Service technicians.
• Mains cable replacement is only to be carried out by After-Sales Service.
• After installation access to the mains plug has to be guaranteed, or the all-pole disconnection has to be possible with a switch.

3. Installation

• The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the tumble dryer.
• Do not install your dryer where it can be subject to extreme conditions, such as: poor ventilation, temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C.
• Before running the first cycle ensure the water container and heat exchanger are correctly positioned.
• Only for water container top version: if possible use a hose to drain the water directly into the domestic plumbing system. This will avoid having to empty the water container at the end of each drying cycle since the condensation water can be directly drained away. See also chapter "Drainage System".
  • Take care not to install the dryer on a deep-pile carpet.
  • Take care not to trap the mains cable between the dryer and the wall.

Stability:

When installing the dryer always carefully level the dryer adjusting the four feet and check the correct levelling with a spirit level.

To built in the dryer

Remove the work-top and replace it with the Built-In kit (according to Eec Electrical Regulations), available at your dealer. As prescribed by law, only a qualified technician has to do the installation.

Stacking kit

Depending on the model, your dryer can be stacked on top of your front loading washing machine. Please contact your dealer or our After-Sales Service.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1) For Great Britain only

Warning - this appliance must be earthed

Fuse replacement

If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:

1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B).
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.
3. Refit both into plug.

Important:

The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is fitted.

Correct replacement are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug.

Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

2) For the Republic of Ireland only

The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also used, the 2-pin, side earth type.

3) Socket outlet / plug (valid for both countries)

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, please contact Whirlpool Service for further instruction. Please do not attempt to change plug yourself. This procedure needs to be carried out by a qualified Whirlpool technician in compliance with the manufactures instructions and current standard safety regulations.

SAFETY ADVICES AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Packing

The packing box may be fully recycled as confirmed by the recycling symbol.

2. 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. You will save time and energy when running your drying cycle.
• Do not overdry the laundry.
- 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.

3. Disposing of packaging and old Dryer:

The dryer is built from reusable materials. The dryer must be disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations.

- Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that the dryer cannot be connected to the mains.

4. Child safety:

Children must not be allowed to play with the dryer.

5. General recommendations:

• Always set the programme/time selector knob to the "0" position after use. This prevents the dryer from being switched on accidentally.
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the dryer and disconnect it from the mains supply.
• To clean the outside of the dryer, use a neutral detergent and a damp cloth.
  • Do not use abrasive detergents.
  • Do not use inflammable cleansing agents.
• Do not use the tumble dryer if chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Garments treated or contaminated with flammable cleaning sprays or liquids such as petrol, cooking oil or aerosol sprays must not be put in this dryer.
  • Lighters must not be left in pockets.

• Never use and store flammable materials nearby the dryer.

• Wipe away lint from the door seal and the door using a damp cloth.

• If the lint filter mesh is clogged, clean it with water and a soft brush.
• Since lint can go through the filter it is necessary to clean, from time to time, the complete filter area (including below the filter) with a brush, a damp cloth or with a vacuum cleaner.
• If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with an identical one obtained from our After-Sales Service. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician.

• Attention rear panel can be hot.
