Frequently Asked Questions - ASL 60 V Ariston Thermo

Why won\u0027t my Ariston Thermo ASL 60 V dryer start?

Check that the appliance is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet. Also ensure that the door is securely closed and the program selector is set to a cycle.

My dryer makes a lot of noise during operation, is this normal?

A certain level of noise is normal, but excessive noise may indicate a problem. Check that the appliance is level and that there are no objects stuck in the drum.

Why is my laundry still damp after the drying cycle?

This may be due to overloading. Try reducing the amount of laundry per cycle. Also make sure the lint filter is clean and the drain hose is not blocked.

How do I clean the lint filter of my dryer?

Open the dryer door and remove the lint filter. Clean it under running water and let it dry before putting it back in place.

My dryer displays an error code, what should I do?

Refer to the user manual for the specific error code. Generally, it is recommended to unplug the appliance for a few minutes before plugging it back in.

What is the maximum load capacity for the Ariston Thermo ASL 60 V dryer?

The maximum load capacity is 6 kg. Do not exceed this limit to ensure effective drying.

How can I prevent my clothes from shrinking in the dryer?

Check the clothing labels for washing and drying instructions. Use low temperature cycles for delicate fabrics.

How often should I clean the condenser of my dryer?

It is recommended to clean the condenser every 3 months to maintain your appliance\u0027s efficiency.

What should I do if my dryer emits an unpleasant odor?

This may be due to accumulated lint or a dirty filter. Clean the filter and check for residues in the drum. Regular cleaning helps prevent this.

ARISTON

! Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer to it when necessary. Take it with you when you move, and, should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with the dryer so that the new owner may be informed about warnings and suggestions on how the dryer works.

! Read these instructions carefully; the following pages contain important information on installation and suggestions on how the appliance works.

Where to put your dryer

• Place your dryer at a distance from gas ranges, stoves, heaters, or cook tops because flames can damage the appliance.
• If you are going to install the appliance under a work counter, be sure to leave a 10mm space between the top and any other objects on or above the machine and a 15mm space between 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 environment that is not damp and has proper air circulation throughout.

Ventilation

The Dryer dries your laundry by drawing in cool, clean and relatively dry air, heating it, and then distributing it through the clothes as they are gently tumbled. For optimum performance, the moist air is then blown out through a vent tube at the back of the dryer.

When the dryer is in use, there has to be adequate ventilation to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires.

Mobile venting

A vent tube must always 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 outlet close to the dryer. If permanent installation is not possible, the dryer will work just as well with the tube passing through a partly-opened window.

! Ensure that the end of the tube is not directed toward the air intake vent at the rear of the dryer.
! The vent tube should not exceed 2.4 metres 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 venting

In conjunction with the vent tube we recommend using a Wall/Window Vent Kit, available at a retail location or the nearest Spare Parts Dealer.

Wall mounting

B A Storm Cover

1. Leave an opening in the wall to the left of the dryers proposed position.
2. Keep the tube as short and straight as possible to prevent condensed moisture from backing up into the dryer.
3. Similarly, the duct in the wall should slope downwards towards the outside.

Window mounting

Technical line drawing of a pipe fitting with a labeled component 'B' (no text or symbols beyond label)

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 possible.

Depending on 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 or trap condensation.

Open window venting

Simple line drawing of a rectangular box with a black stripe, connected to a vertical pipe (no text or symbols)

1. The end of the tube should be directed downwards, to prevent warm 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 tube must always 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.

Electrical connections

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 machines maximum power, which is indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
- Power voltage must be within the values indicated on the rating label (see Dryer Description).
- The socket must be compatible with the dryers 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 it is exposed to rain or storms.

! Once installed, the dryers electrical wire and plug must be within easy reach.

! Do not use extension cords.
! The power cord must not be bent or squashed.
! The power supply 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..
! 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.

Before you start using your dryer

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

2. The buzzer (if Alarm Option was selected) will warn you when the programme is complete. Open the door, take the laundry out, clean the filter and replace it (see Maintenance). If the Post Creasecare Option has been selected and you do not remove the laundry immediately, the dryer will tumble occasionally for 10 hours or until you open the door.

3. Unplug the dryer.

Easy Iron Programme

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

! 'Easy Iron' is not a drying programme 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:

Fabric Maximum load

Cotton and Cotton mixtures 2.5kg

Synthetics 2kg

Denim 2kg

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

The 'Easy Iron' effect varies from one fabric to the next. It works well on traditional fabrics like Cotton or Cotton mix, and less well on acrylic fibres and on materials such as Tencel®.

Wool Programme

• This is a programme for tumble dryer safe garments marked with the symbol ☐.
• It can be used for load sizes up to 1kg (approximately 3 sweaters).
  • We recommend that garments are turned inside out before drying.
• This programme will take about 20 to 40 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 programme 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.

• Wring out each item in order to eliminate as much excess water as possible.

! Do not load dripping wet clothes into the dryer.

Maximum load size

Do not load more than maximum capacity.

These numbers refer to dry weight:

Natural fibres: 6kg max (13lb)

Synthetic fibres: 3kg max (6.6lb)

! DO NOT overload the dryer as this could result in reduced drying performance.

At the end of a drying cycle, cottons could still be damp if you grouped cottons and synthetics together. If this happens simply give them an additional short period of drying.

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

Items not suitable for tumble drying

• Articles that containing rubber or rubber-like materials or plastic film (pillows, cushions, or PVC rainwear), any other flammable articles 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:

CottonsHigh (full) Heat
Drying times 800-1000rpm in washing machine
		Half Load	Full Load
1kg 2kg	3kg 4kg	5kg 6kg
20-30 35	-45 45-60	60-70 70	-80 80-100
SyntheticsHigh (full) Heat
Drying times on reduced spin in washing machine
		Half Load Full Load
1kg 2kg 3kg
20-40 30-50		40-70
Delicates (e.g.Acrylics)Low (gentle) Heat
Drying times on reduced spin in washing machine
Half Load				Full Load
1kg				2kg
50-70				90-130

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.

GB

! The appliance has been designed and built according to international safety standards. These warnings are given for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

General safety

• This tumble dryer has been designed for home, and not professional use.
• This dryer must be used by adults, and the instructions in this booklet should be followed carefully.
• Do not touch the appliance while barefoot or with wet hands or feet.
• Unplug the machine by pulling on the plug, not the cord.
• Children must not be in proximity of the dryer when in use. After using the dryer, turn it off and unplug it. Keep the door closed to make sure that children do not use it as a toy.
• The appliance must be installed correctly and have proper ventilation. The air intake vents behind the machine, the outlet vents and the vent tube should never be obstructed (see Installation).
• Never direct the vent tube outlet vent towards the air intake at the back of the machine.
• Never allow the tumble dryer to recycle exhaust air.
• Never use the dryer on carpeting where the pile height would prevent air from entering the dryer from the base.
• Check to see if the dryer is empty before loading it.
• The back of the dryer could become very hot. Never touch it while in use.
• Do not use the dryer unless the filter is securely in place (see Maintenance).
• Do not use fabric softeners or dryer sheets in the dryer.
• Do not overload the dryer (see Laundry) for maximum loads.
• Do not load items that are dripping wet.
• Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with detergent and water, rinsed and been through the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with water.
• Carefully check all instructions on clothing labels (see Laundry).

• Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products.

• Never dry articles that are contaminated with flammable substances (petrol, oil, paint, hair spray, creams, cooking fat or oils).

• Do not tumble dry rubber, foam rubber, plastic, plastic foam, nappy pants or liners, polythene or paper.
• Do not tumble dry large, very bulky items.
• Do not tumble dry acrylic fibres at high temperatures.
• Complete each programme with its Cool Tumble Phase.
• Do not turn off the dryer when there are still warm items inside.
• Clean the filter after each use (see Maintenance).
• Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.
• Never climb on top of the dryer. It could result in damage.
• Always follow electrical standards and requirements (see Installation).
• Always buy original spare parts and accessories (see Service).

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging material: follow local regulations, so the packaging can be recycled.
• Disposal of your old dryer: cut the power cord and remove the door before disposing of an old dryer.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

• Wring out items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.
• Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry.
• Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).

Switching off the electricity

Unplug your dryer when not using it, when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.

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.

Small items could also become trapped in the filter. When finished drying, therefore, 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.
