To manoeuvre the dryer out of its packing case to its installation site you will also need to hold it by the front feet.
Installation 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 around 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 Cool air programme for approximately 1 minute before moving it. Any remaining condensed water will then be fed into the condensed water container or out through the drain hose.
Installation – The building-under kit is supplied with its own installation instructions. – N.B. When built under, drying times may be longer. – 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.
Installation External condensed water outlet General notes ^ There will be a small amount of residual water in the drain hose. Have a container ready to collect this. When drying is in progress, condensed water is pumped into the condensed water container through the drain hose at the back of the dryer.

Drain hose length . .
Installation External drainage via a sink or gully ^ See "Front view" illustration. ,If you want to drain the water off into a sink you will need to secure the hose carefully, e.g. by tying it to a tap to make sure it cannot slip during use. Otherwise there is a risk of overflowing water which could cause damage. Example: Connection to a sink drain outlet The drain hose with non-return valve fitted can be connected directly to a suitable sink drain outlet.
Installation ^ Fit adapter 1 to the sink drain outlet using nut 2. If this nut has a flat disc in it you should take the disc out first. ^ Attach the end of hose 4 to adapter 1. ^ Use a screwdriver to tighten hose clip 3 up close to the nut. 1 Adapter 2 Nut 3 Hose clip 4 End of the hose 5 Non-return valve 6 Tumble dryer drain hose 48 ,Non-return valve 5 has to be fitted with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow (i.e. towards the sink).
