THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded!

In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician or exchange the cord with an appropriate one rated for the dryer.

REFER TO THE RATING PLATE FOR VOLTAGE AND CURRENT REQUIREMENTS (see diagram for location).

The dryer should be connected to the mains supply via a suitable socket which is accessible after installing your dryer. This dryer must be connected to 30A INDIVIDUAL BRANCH CIRCUIT.

Choosing a program

1. Plug the dryer into the electrical socket.
2. Sort your laundry according to fabric type (see Laundry).
3. Open the door and make sure the filter is clean and in place and the water container is empty and in place (see Maintenance).
4. Load the machine and make sure that the items are not in the way of the door seal. Close the door.
5. If none of the lights are on: Press the On/Off button ⏻.
6. Choose a program by checking the Programs guide (see Programs) as well as the indications for each type of fabric (see Laundry).
7. Select a program by rotating the PROGRAMS knob.
8. Set a delay time and other options if necessary.
9. The Start/Pause light is flashing green, press the Start/Pause button >II to begin. The green light stops flashing.

During the drying program, you can check on your laundry and take out the items that are dry while others continue drying. When you close the door again, press the Start/Pause button >II in order to resume drying. (When the door is open the Start/Pause light will flash amber and after the door is closed and the Start/Pause button pressed will stop flashing and show green).

1. During the last few minutes of Drying Programs, before the program is completed, the final Cool Tumble phase is entered (fabrics are cooled), this phase should always be allowed to complete.

2. The buzzer (alert) will warn you when the program is complete. Open the door, take your laundry out. Clean the filter and replace it and empty the water container and replace it (see Maintenance). If the Post Care Option has been selected and you do not take the clothes out immediately, the clothes will tumble occasionally for 10 hours or until you open the door.

3. Unplug the dryer.

Note: This tumble dryer is fitted with an automatic standby system which is enabled after about 30 minutes if no activity is detected. Press the ON-OFF button briefly and wait for the machine to start up again.

Easy Iron Program (15)

Easy Iron is a short 10 minute programme (8 minutes of heat followed by a 2 minute Cool Tumble period) which fluffs the fibers of clothing that have been left in the same position/location for an extended period of time. The cycle relaxes the fibers and makes them easier to iron and fold.

! Easy Iron is not a drying program and should not be used for wet articles of clothing.

For best results:

1. Do not load more than the maximum capacity.
   These numbers refer to the dry weight:
   Regular Cotton and Regular Cotton mix 5.5 lb / 2.5 kg
   Permanent Press 4 lb / 2 kg
   Denim 4 lb / 2 kg

Fabric Maximum load

1. Unload the dryer immediately after the end of the program, hang, fold or iron the articles and put them away. Should this not be possible, repeat the program.

The Easy Iron effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works very well on traditional fabrics like Regular Cottons or Regular Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibers.

Wool Program (13)

• This is a program for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol ☐.
• It can be used for load sizes up to 2 lb / 1 kg (approximately 3 sweaters).
  • We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.
• This program will take about 60 minutes, but may take longer depending on the size and density of the load and the spin speed used in your washer.
• Loads dried using this program are usually ready to wear, but on some heavier garments the edges may be slightly damp. Allow these to dry naturally as over-drying could damage garments.

! Unlike other materials, the mechanism of wool shrinkage is irreversible; i.e. it will not stretch back to original size and shape.
! This programme is not suitable for Acrylic garments.

Programs

! If the On/Off light is not lit; Press the On/Off button ⏻ and then select program.

Wash Care Labels

Look at the labels on your garments, especially when tumble drying for the first time. The following symbols are the most common:

May be tumble dried

Do not tumble dry

Tumble dry at high heat setting

Tumble dry at low heat setting

What not to tumble dry in your dryer:

• Articles that contain rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear), any other flammable objects or objects that contain flammable substances (towels soiled with hair spray).
  • Glass fibres (certain types of draperies).
• Items which have been dry cleaned.
• Items with the ITCL Code (see Special clothing items) ☒. These can be cleaned with special at-home dry cleaning products. Follow instructions carefully.
• Large bulky items (quilts, sleeping bags, pillows, cushions, large bedspreads etc). These expand when drying and would prevent airflow through the dryer.

Special clothing items

Blankets and Bedspreads: acrylic items (Acilan, Courtelle, Orion, Dralon) must be dried with special care on LOW heat setting. Avoid drying for a long period of time.

Pleated or creased garments: read the manufacturer's drying instructions on the garment.

Starched articles: do not dry these with non-starched items. Make sure that as much of the starch solution is removed from the load as possible before placing it in the dryer. Do not over-dry: the starch will become powdery and leave your clothing limp, which defeats the purpose of starch.

Drying times

The table below presents APPROXIMATE drying times in minutes. Weights refer to dry garments:

Regular CottonsHigh (full) Heat
Drying times 800-1000rpm in washing machine
		Half Load	Full Load
2 lb 4 lb 7 lb	9 lb 11 lb	13 lb	15 lb
1 kg 2	kg 3 kg	4 kg 5	kg 6 kg	7 kg
30-40	40-55	55-70	70-80	80-90	95-120	120-140

Delicates/AcrylicsLow (gentle) Heat
Drying times on reduced spin in washing machine
Half Load			Full Load
2 lb			4 lb
1 kg			2 kg
40-60			55-75

Times are approximate and can vary depending upon:

• Amount of water retained in clothes after spin cycle: towels and delicates retain a lot of water.
• Fabrics: items that are the same type of fabric but different textures and thicknesses may not have the same drying time.
• Quantity of laundry: single items or small loads may take longer to dry.
• Dryness: If you are going to iron some of your clothes, they can be taken out while still a bit damp. Others can be left longer if you need them to be completely dry.
• Heat setting.
• Room temperature: if the room where the dryer is located is cold, it will take longer for the dryer to dry your clothes.
• Bulk: some bulky items can be tumble dried with care. We suggest that you remove these items several times, shake them out, and return them to the dryer until finished.

! Do not over-dry your clothes. All fabrics contain a little natural moisture, which keeps them soft and fluffy.

EN

When to switch off the electricity

! Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during maintenance activities.

Clean the filter after each cycle

The filter is an important part of your dryer: it accumulates lint and fluff that is formed while drying. When finished drying, clean the filter by rinsing it under running water or with your vacuum cleaner. Should the filter become clogged up, the airflow inside the dryer will be seriously compromised: drying times lengthen and you will consume more energy. It may also damage your dryer.

The filter is found in front of the dryer trim (see diagram). Removing the filter:

1. Pull the plastic grip of the filter upwards (see diagram).
2. Clean the filter and replace it correctly. Ensure the filter is fully located flush into the tumble dryer trim.
   ! Do not use the dryer without replacing the filter.

Check the drum after each cycle

Turn the drum manually in order to remove small items (handkerchiefs) that could have been left behind.

Cleaning the drum

! Do not use abrasives, steel wool or stainless steel cleaning agents to clean the drum.

A coloured film may start to appear on the stainless steel drum, this may be caused by a combination of water and, or cleaning agents such as fabric conditioner from the wash. This coloured film will not affect the dryer performance.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Periodically (every month) remove the condenser unit and clean any build up of fluff from between the plates by rinsing it under the tap with cold water.

This should be done with cold water from the rear of the condenser.

To remove the condenser:

1. Unplug the dryer and open the door.
2. Pull open the condenser cover (see diagram). Release the three catches by turning 90° counterclockwise then pull on the grip and remove from the dryer.
3. Clean the surface of the seals and replace, making sure that the catches have been secured.

Cleaning the dryer

• External parts in metal or plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• Periodically (every 6 months) vacuum the front air intake grille and vents at the rear of the dryer, to remove any build up of fluff, lint or dust. Also to remove accumulation of fluff from the front of the condenser and filter areas, clean occasionally with a vacuum cleaner.
  ! Do not use solvents or abrasives.
  ! Your dryer uses special bearing components which do not need lubrication.
  ! Have your dryer checked regularly by authorized technicians to ensure electrical and mechanical safety.

Where to put your dryer

Check local codes before choosing a location. Some codes do not permit installation in a garage, closet, mobile home or bedroom.

DO NOT install the dryer in an area where gasoline or other inflammable materials are kept or stored. When operating the dryer, there has to be adequate ventilation. Make sure you put the dryer in an environment that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout. Airflow around the dryer is essential to condense the water produced during washing, the dryer will not operate sufficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard. If installed in a closet we recommend that you leave the door open when the dryer is in use.

! If using the dryer in a small room or cold room some condensation could be experienced.

Minimum installation clearances:

	Closet Closet (a)ternative) Under counter
Sides	3/4" (15mm) 0		3/4" (15mm)
Top	1/2" (10mm) 4"(100m)		1/2" (10mm)
Rear	3/4" (15mm)	3/4" (15mm)	3/4" (15mm)
Front	3/4" (15mm)	3/4" (15mm) not applicable
Vent Opening - distance from top of closet 6"(150mm) 2"(50mm)not applicable

If installed in a closet it must have the following dimensions and have two ventilation openings each having an area 72 sq.ins. (450 sq.cm) located 2" (50mm) or 6" (150mm) from top (see table) and 6" (150mm) from bottom of the door. It must NEVER be installed in a closet with a solid door.

The dryer has adjustable height feet, use these to level the dryer after fitting into its final position.

Water drain

Your dryer needs a drain to discharge the water condensed during the drying process.

Simply fit the hose provided into this drain, if the dryer is stacked onto or installed next to a washing machine it can share the same drain. The drain must be less than 3' (1 m) above the bottom of the dryer.

! Make sure that the hose is not squashed or kinked when the dryer is in its final location.

Door reversal instructions (only if stacked on top of washing machine).

Door latch Hinge Door catch Hinge

The door of your dryer is reversible and can easily be changed. Exchange diagonally the hinge brackets and blanking plugs. Exchange the door latch and catch with their opposite blanking plates (see above diagram).

Stacking kit

A stacking kit is available from your dealer, which allows the dryer to be fitted to the top of an Ariston washing machine.

Reference number: 72141 White for TCL73X or 72140 Silver for TCL73XS

The kit contains all the necessary brackets and screws. Tools needed:

No.2 Philips Screwdriver

2mm drill, power or hand drill

SAFETY

For personal safety, DO NOT try to fit the dryer on top of the washing machine on your own. A second person should help to lift the tumble dryer onto the washing machine and to relocate the stacked washer and dryer.

1. You will need to get to the sides of the washing machine to fit the stacking kit and dryer. If necessary pull the machine away from its location to gain access to the machine to fit the stacking kit and dryer.
2. Follow the instructions provided with the stacking kit.
