Where to install it If the drying cabinet is to be installed, connection to an exhaust ventilation duct must be available, where it is to be located. There should be an earthed plug-in electric outlet socket within a distance of 2 metres from the upper part of the drying cabinet. The drying cabinet has a 2 metre long earthing cable with a plug connected to it.
Electrical requirements User’s responsibility It is the responsibility of the user to contact a qualified electrician if the electric outlet socket is not easily accessible as laid down in this manual WARNING Connect the cabinet to an earthed outlet socket Do not remove the earth connection Do not use an adapter Do not use an extension cord Electrical connection The drying cabinet should be connected to the 230 Volt single-phase 50 Hz. mains supply, by an earthed wall socket.
Ventilation alternatives There are two ways of evacuating humid air: Evacuation by ventilating the room where the drying cabinet is installed.

Do not hesitate to open doors or windows in the room for optimum ventilation. The ventilation pipe must reach the outside of the cabinet mounting unit.
Connection to the evacuation duct When the cabinet is on, 45 m³ of humid air are evacuated per hour. So make sure that air can penetrate into the room to replace the humid air given off by the drying cabinet. ATTENTION The drying cabinet must not be connected to the fireplace chimney The drying cabinet can be connected to the evacuation duct in two ways With a draught limiter The exhaust air duct valve is replaced by a draught limiter (included in the delivery).

(For the markets where such an article is included) When the drying cabinet is permanently connected to the evacuation duct, the whole room is ventilated by way of the drying cabinet. The exhaust air duct valve is replaced by an insert (not included). See also the section ’Connect Ventilation’ page 14.

How to use the drying cabinet Starting 1. Place the articles to be dried in the drying cabinet and shut the door. See also the section ’Choosing where to place the washing’. Interrupting the drying Open the door and turn the time selector knob back to ’0’.’ 2. Set an appropriate temperature and drying time. See the section ’Setting the temperature selector knob’. 3. Press on the START button (only certain markets).
Do not overload the drying cabinet. The washing will become creased and drying uneven. Instead, leave a certain distance between items of washing, if this is possible If there is a risk that certain washed items give off their colour, free space should be left around them. Avoid drying thick clothes at the same time as lighter articles for they have completely different drying times. Remember not to hang knitted articles. These can be needlessly stretched when they are heavy with water.
Setting the temperature selector knob Do not use any heat when drying articles of clothing filled with foam rubber or similar material. 3 1 The temperature selector knob regulates heat by means of a continuous scale of temperature positions from no heat at all till normal position with full heat.
Care Cleaning High-pressure cleaning should not be used! The walls of the cabinet should be cleaned with a mild soap solution on a damp cloth. Dust frequently gathers round the air intake orifice on the upper part of the cabinet. This can disturb the way the cabinet functions which can, in turn, lead to a breakdown. To avoid this problem, the air intake orifice and the top of the cabinet should be vacuum-cleaned at least once a year or more often depending on the environment the cabinet is placed in.
