Brabantia Rotary Dryer Line Replacement Instructions

General Instructions for Brabantia Rotary Dryers

These instructions apply to rotary dryers with two types of line connectors, labeled A and B.

Before You Start:

• Check the type of line connectors used for the existing lines (see figures A and B).

If Existing Lines Use Connectors A:

1. Begin with the innermost washing lines and work from inside to outside.
2. Partially open the rotary dryer. Cut the old washing line next to the metal connector with scissors (fig. A).
3. Cut a piece of the new washing line about 15 cm longer than the old line.

If Existing Lines Use Connectors B:

1. Begin with the innermost washing lines and work from inside to outside.
2. Partially open the rotary dryer. Cut the old washing line next to the metal connector with scissors (fig. B).
3. Note that lines with this connector type are fastened to each arm. New lines, except the outermost one, should be fastened per 'round'. Cut a piece of new washing line about 4 times the length of one old line, plus 23 cm for fixing.

Continue for Either Fastening Clips A or B:

1. Thread the new lines through the rotary dryer (fig. 2).
2. Fasten the plastic connector (fig. 3) so that there are 2 line ends of 6.5 cm protruding.
3. Follow this procedure for each washing line, making the new lines 15 cm longer than the old lines (for connector A) or 4 times the old line length + 23 cm (for connector B).
4. Attention: The outermost lines for both type A and B are fastened to each arm and not threaded all the way around. The correct length for these new lines is the length of the old line + 15 cm.
5. Open the rotary dryer completely and check the tension of the washing lines. Re-adjust as necessary by adjusting the lines in the plastic connectors.
6. When all washing lines are adjusted correctly, fasten the ends of the lines in the plastic connectors (fig. 4) and cut off the excess line to about 2 cm (fig. 5).

Specific Instructions for Brabantia WallFix Dryer

Use these instructions only for the wall-mounted WallFix dryer.

1. Start with the innermost line and work from inside to outside.
2. Hold the rotary in a partly open position and remove the black caps from the arms (fig. 1).
3. Start by cutting off the innermost line (fig. 2).
4. Cut a piece of the new washing line of 148 cm to replace the innermost line. Attach a fastening clip at one end of the line, leaving a protruding piece of 3 cm (fig. 3-5).
5. Thread the new line through the dryer and attach a fastening clip at the other end, leaving a protruding piece of 5 cm (fig. 6).
6. After fastening the first line, open the WallFix until you hear a 'click' and check the line tension. Ensure the fastening clip is placed correctly against the arm (fig. 7). Use the 5 cm protruding piece to re-adjust the tension of the lines if necessary by tightening the line through the fastening clip.
7. Fold the WallFix into the partly open position again and follow this procedure for each of the lines. Diagram 8 shows the correct lengths for replacement lines. Note that the old outermost lines were fastened to each arm, but all new lines should be fastened per 'round'.
8. When all lines are adjusted correctly, cut off the excess lines to about 2 cm and re-position the black caps (fig. 9).
