Trieste ED-D6KG, Instruction Manual

Page: 5 / 11

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.
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 1.8 meters 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.
Mobile venting
A vent tube must always be fitted when the dryer is used in conjunction
with Mobile venting.
Wall mounting
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
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 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.
