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.

3.1 Appropriate installation location

Install the dryer on a stable and level surface.

Dryer is heavy. Do not move it by yourself.

• 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.
• The rear surface of the tumble dryer shall be placed against a wall.

Do not place the dryer on the power cable.

3.2 Removing the transportation safety assembly

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

3.3 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.

Installation

	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.

3.4 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.

	Always clean the lint filter and the inner surfaces of the loading door after each drying process.
	You can clean the lint filter housing with a vacuum cleaner.

To clean the lint filter:

• Open the loading door.
• Remove the lint filter by pulling it up and open the lint filter.
• Clean lint, fiber, and cotton raveling by hand or with a soft piece of cloth.
• Close the lint filter and place it back into its housing.

To clean the sensors:

• Open the loading door of the dryer.
• Allow the machine to cool down if it is still hot due to the drying process.
• Wipe the metal surfaces of the sensor with a soft cloth, dampened with vinegar and dry them.

	Clean metal surfaces of the sensors 4 times a year.
	Do not use metal tools when cleaning metal surfaces of the sensors.

Maintenance and cleaning

Never use solvents, cleaning agents or similar substances for cleaning due to the risk of fire and explosion!

6.3 Draining the water tank

Dampness of the laundry is removed and condensed during drying process and the water that arise accumulates in the water tank. Drain the water tank after each drying cycle.

Condensed water is not drinkable!

Never remove the water tank when the program is running!

If you forget to drain the water tank, the machine will stop during the subsequent drying cycles when the water tank is full and the Water Tank warning symbol will flash. If this is the case, drain the water tank and press Start / Pause button to resume the drying cycle. To drain the water tank: Pull the drawer and remove the water tank carefully.

If the direct water draining is used as an option, there is no need to empty the water tank.

6.4 Cleaning the condenser;

Hot and humid air in the condenser is cooled with the cold air from the room. Thus, the humid air circulating in your dryer is condensed and then pumped into the tank.

Clean the condenser after every 30 drying cycles or once a month.

To clean the condenser:

1. If a drying process has been carried out, open the door of the machine and wait until it cools down.
