TD4112FUV_3.JPG TD4112FUV_2.JPG

Failure to clean the filter after every cycle will affect the drying performance of your

machine – It will take longer to dry and as a result will use more electricity during drying

You must Clean the Fluff Build Up around the filter housing and the vent

tube periodically

ever

two or three months

• Periodically check the vent tube and any permanent venting fixture to make sure that there has been no accumulation of fluff or lint, and remove it.

• Remove lint that collects around filter and the outlet vents

Installation TD4001FAUS Issu e 1

! The vent tube should not exceed 2,4 m in length, and should be kept free of any possible accumulation of fluff, lint, and water by shaking it out frequently. Always ensure that the tube is not squashed.

Permanent ve nting

In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend using a W a ll/W indow Vent Kit, available at a retail location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer:

Wall mounting

1. Leave an opening in the wall to the left of dryer’s intended position.

2. Keep the tube as short and straight as possible to prevent condensed moisture fr om ba cking up into the dryer.

3. Similarly, the duct in the wall should slope downwards towards the outside.

Window mounting

1. With a stacked dryer the hole in the window should ideally be made below the vent.

2. The tube should be kept as short as pos sib le.

Depending upon how often you use your dryer, it is essential that areas A and B are checked periodically to remove lint or debris. The vent tube adaptor must be fitted securely thus preventing any humid air from being emitted back into the room.

! The Dryer should not be pushed so far back that the tube adaptor is pulled out of position or the tube is squashed or bent.

! The tube should be kept clear of the air intake vent and kinks or ‘U’ bends must be avoided as these will obstruct the tube and trap condensation.

Where to put your dryer

• Place yo ur d ryer at a distance from g as ra ng es, stoves, heaters, or cook tops because fla mes can damage the appliance.

• If you are going to install the ap pliance under a work

counter, be sure to leave a 10 mm space betw een the top an d any other objects o n or above the machine and a 15 mm s pa ce betwee n the sides and lateral furnishings or walls. This is to ensure proper air circulation. Make sure that the back vents are not obstructed

• Make sure you put your dryer in an environmen t that is not damp and has proper air circula tion thro ugh out. The dryer will not operate efficiently in an enclosed spac e or cupboard.

Ventilation

This Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clea n and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distribu ting it through the clothe s as they are gently tumbled. For optimum perfo rman ce , the mois t air is then blow n ou t through a vent tube behind the d ryer. When the d ryer is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid a back flow of gases into the room from a ppliances burning other fuels, including o pen f ires .

Mobile venting

A vent t ub e mus t alwa ys be fitted when the dryer is used in conjunction with Mobile venting. The tube must be fitted securely into the back of the dryer (see Dryer Description). If possible, it is always best to connect the tube to a permanent vent close to the dryer. If permane nt installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the tube passing throug h a par tly -opene d wind ow.

! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed toward

the air intake vent at the rear of the dr

er.

19510317700 English, All Logos to be Ariston {PDF Created 18/01/13 22:04:00}

Open window venting

The end of the tube sh ould be dir e cted downwards to prevent warm and moist air from condensing in the room or in the dryer.

! Ensure that the dryer is adequately ventilated and that the end of the vent tube is not directed towards the air intake duct.

! The vent tu be m ust alw ays be fitted for optimum performance.

! Make sure that the vent tube and air intake vents are not obstructed or blocked.

! The dryer must not recycle exhaust air.

! Misusing a tumble dryer may create a fire hazard.

! Do not discharge exhaust air into a flue which is

used for exhaust fumes from other appliances that burn gas or other fuels.

! Do not discharge the exhaust air into an extraction system or any duct with an extractor fan. This will affect the way the thermal controls operate and can result in a fire hazard.

Electrical connection

Make sure of the following before you insert the plug into the electrical socket:

• The socket must be grounded.

• The socket must be able to sustain the machine’s

maximum power, which is indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).

• Power voltage must be within the values indicated on the rating la be l (see Dryer Description).

• The socket must be compatible with the dryer’s

plug. Should this not be the case, replace the plug or the socket.

! The dryer must not be installed outdoors, even if the space is sheltered. It can be very dangerous if exposed to rain or storms.

! Once installed, the dryer’s electrical wire and plug must be within reach.

TD4002AUS Issue 2

! Do not use extension cords

! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.

! The power cord should be checked periodically and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this dryer and fitted only by authorised technicians. (see Service). New or longer power cords are supplied at an extra charge by authorised dealers.

! Ensure that any p ortable outlet or e xtension lead is

positioned so that it is not subjected to a ny splashing or ingress of moistures

! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any of these rules not be followed.

! If in doubt about any of the above consult a qualified electrician

Levelling your dryer

The dryer must be installed level for correct operation. When you have installed your dryer in its final location check that it is level first side-to-side, then front to back.

If the dryer is not level, use a wooden block to support it while adjusting the two front legs up or down until your dryer is level.

Before you start using your dryer

Once you’ve installed your dryer and before you use it, clean the inside of the drum to remove any dust that could have accumulated during transportation.
