Installation
Transporting
Use caution when moving the unit. Never grasp the appliance by its protruding parts. The
appliance door cannot be used as a handle when delivered. If the dryer cannot be transported
upright, it may be tilted at an angle of less than 30°.
Installation location
•
For practical reasons, we recommend that you install your dryer close to your washing
machine.
•
Your dryer should be installed in a clean place where dirt cannot accumulate. Air must
be able to circulate freely around your appliance.
•
Please do not block the air inlet at the front or the air intake grille at the back of the
appliance.
•
To keep vibrations and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in operation, we recommend
placing it on a solid, at surface.
•
Never remove the feet. Do not reduce the oor clearance space by placing mats, pieces
of wood or the like underneath the appliance. This may contribute to increased heat and
interfere with the proper functioning of your appliance.
Levelling
When the dryer is in its permanent operating position, check that it is perfectly level using a
spirit level. If necessary, adjust the feet using a tool.
Power supply connection
•
Make sure that the voltage of the power supply is identical to the specied voltage of
the dryer.
•
Do not connect your appliance using a connecting plate, a universal plug or a universal
socket.
CAUTION
• Do not touch your device for the first two hours after it
has been transported (MDS80-CH05/B05 only). Before
using the machine for the first time, please use a soft
cloth to clean the inside of the drum.
a. Put some clean clothes in the drum.
b. Connect the plug, press [On/Off].
c. Select the [Refresh] program and press the [Start/
Pause] button.
d. When the programme is finished, please follow
the instructions in the section "Cleaning and periodic
maintenance" (in page 13 of the manual) to clean the
filter hatch.
• During the drying process, it is normal for the
compressor and water pump to make noise (MDS80-.
CH05/B05 only).
Recommendations
•
Before you start drying, make sure your clothes have been spun in the washing machine.
High-speed spinning reduces drying time and saves energy.
•
To ensure that your clothes dry evenly, sort your clothes according to the type of fabric
and the correct drying program.
• Before drying, close zips, hooks or eyelets, button your clothes and fasten fabric belts, etc.
•
Do not over-dry your clothes; excessive drying can wrinkle your clothes or cause them
to shrink.
•
Do not dry clothes containing rubber or similar elastic materials, such as raincoats,
bicycle covers, etc.
•
The door can only be opened when the dryer cycle is nished. Never open the door before
the programme has nished. Hot surfaces and condensation can cause burns.
•
Always clean the lter and empty the tank after use to avoid increased drying times and
energy consumption.
