Installation
Make sure the dryer door can be
opened without hindrance after
installation.
The cool air intake panel at the
front of the dryer must not be
blocked or covered, e.g. by a
laundry basket, as this would cause
a fault.
Building under a continuous
worktop/in a row of kitchen units
It is very important to avoid a
build-up of heat. The warm air which
is expelled from the rear of the dryer
must be able to dissipate. Warm air
which cannot dissipate could cause
a fault.
N.B. When built under, drying times
may be longer.
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.
– Creating a gap for the dryer in the
kitchen furniture plinth facing.
– Creating ventilation gaps in the
kitchen unit.
The dryer should not be installed
next to a refrigeration appliance. The
warm air expelled from the rear of
the dryer would increase the
temperature around the refrigeration
appliance's heat exchanger causing
the compressor to run continuously.
If it is not possible to install the dryer
anywhere else, then the refrigeration
appliance must be sealed off from
the dryer.
Building under kits must only be
installed/dismantled by a suitably
qualified fitter.
– A special building under conversion
kit* with a cover plate to replace the
appliance lid is required. It must be
fitted by a suitably qualified fitter to
ensure electrical safety. N.B. If there
is space to push the tumble dryer
under the worktop without removing
the lid, the building under kit is not
necessary. Otherwise it is essential.
– Fitting instructions are supplied with
the conversion kit.
– The electrical socket must be located
in an accessible position near the
appliance.
With niche heights of:
– 830-840 mm, longer screw feet* are
required.
– 870-885 / 915-930 mm, one or two
raising kits* are required.
