Installation and connection

The gap between the base of the
dryer and the floor must not be
minimised by a plinth or thick-piled
carpet as this would prevent a
sufficient intake of cold air.
A build-up of heat can be avoided by
adjusting the screw feet so that there is
a gap of at least 20 mm between the
floor and the bottom of the dryer.
Do not obstruct the cool air
intake at the front with a laundry
basket or other objects.
This would hinder a sufficient intake
of cool air for the condenser unit.
Room ventilation
Cool air taken in for the drying process
is expelled from the front of the dryer
and heats up the air in the room. Ensure
that the room has sufficient ventilation,
e.g. by opening a window. Otherwise
drying durations may be longer.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided
to avoid the back flow of gases into the
room from appliances burning other
fuels, including open fires.
Before moving the tumble dryer
again (e.g. when moving house)
After each use a small quantity of
condensed water will collect in the area
of the pump. This water can run out if
the tumble dryer is tipped up when it is
being moved. It is a good idea to run
the Warm air programme for
approximately 1 minute before moving
the tumble dryer. Any remaining
condensed water will then be fed into
the condensed water container or out
through the drain hose.
