INSTALLATION
APPLIANCE POSITIONING• The tumble dryer must be installed in
a clean position, where dirt does notcollect.
• Air must flow freely around the appli-ance. Make sure that the front airflowslots in the bottom of the applianceare not blocked .
• To keep vibration and noise at theminimum, when the tumble dryer op-erates, it must be put on a stable andflat surface.
• When the appliance is put in its per-manent position, check if is fully levelwith the aid of a spirit level. If it isnot, adjust the feet until it is.
• Do not remove the feet. Do not de-crease the floor clearance throughthick carpets, bar of wood or equiva-lent. This can increase the heat whichcan cause interference with the oper-ation of the appliance.
• The temperature of the hotair which occurs in the tumbledryer can increase to 60 °C.The appliance must not be in-stalled on the floor which isnot resistant to high tempera-tures.
• When the tumble dryer oper-ates, the room temperaturemust not be lower than +5 °Cand higher than +35 °C. Thiscan cause unwanted effect onthe performance of the appli-ance.
• If it is necessary to move theappliance, it must be movedvertically.
• The appliance must not be in-stalled behind a lockabledoor, a sliding door, a doorwith a hinge on the oppositeside to that of the appliancein such a way that a full open-ing of the tumble dryer is re-stricted.
UNPACKINGCAUTION!
Before use all parts of the transportpackaging must be removed.To remove the polystyrene blockages:1. Open the load door.
2. Pull 2 plastic hoses with the poly-styrene blockages out from thedrum.
