Function Description:

The Esatto 7kg Vented Dryer is designed for drying clothes, towels, and linen in a domestic environment. It operates by tumbling clothes in a heated drum and venting the moist air outside. The dryer offers various drying programs and dryness levels to suit different fabric types and desired results.

General Operation Guidelines:

Loading: For faster drying, load the dryer to ½ to ⅔ capacity of the drum to allow even circulation of clothes and air.
Sorting: Sort clothes by fabric type and drying time (heavier items separate from light items).
Care Labels: Always check clothing care labels for suitability for tumble drying and recommended temperatures.
Over-drying: Avoid over-drying to prevent creases and static charges.
Static Charge: Use fabric softener during washing or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers to reduce static.
Unwashed Items: Never dry unwashed items.
Unsuitable Items: Do not tumble dry delicate items (net curtains, woollen, silk, items with metal trim), bulky materials (blankets, eiderdown), rubber foam, or rubber-backed articles due to fire risk or damage.
Pockets: Ensure all objects are removed from pockets.
Fasteners: Close all press studs, hooks, eyes, and zips to prevent tangling.
Lint: Some fabrics (towels, nappies, chenille) give off lint, while others (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press) collect it. Separate these to minimize lint transfer.

Installation Instructions:

The dryer can be placed freestanding or wall-mounted.

Freestanding: Requires a minimum of 80mm clearance from the top to the ceiling and 10cm from walls/cabinetry.
Wall Hanging: Detailed instructions are provided for wall mounting, including using a screw position template, expansion bolts, and hanging brackets. It's crucial to mount on a solid wall and ensure the power cord is accessible. Two or more people are required for lifting and installing the dryer for safety.
Ventilation: The dryer requires an unrestricted air supply and exhaust ventilation. Ensure vents are not blocked.
Power Source: Must be plugged directly into a properly earthed AC power supply. Avoid extension cords, power boards, or double adaptors for safety.

Maintenance Features:

Lint Filter Cleaning: The lint filter, located inside the door, must be cleaned after each and every load. A clean filter improves efficiency, reduces drying times, saves energy, and prevents overheating and potential fire hazards. A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced immediately.
Inner Drum Cleaning: Wipe the inner drum and cabinet with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive water, scouring pads, abrasives, alcohol wipes, or harsh cleaning chemicals.
Periodic Inspection: It is recommended to have a qualified appliance technician inspect and clean the dryer periodically to avoid potential fire hazards.

Troubleshooting:

The manual includes a troubleshooting section for common issues:
