AEG Vented dryer T65170AV User Manual

							INSTALLATION
APPLIANCE POSITIONING
• The tumble dryer must be installed in
a clean position, where dirt does not
collect.
• Air must flow freely around the appli-
ance. Make sure that the front airflow
slots in the bottom of the appliance
are not blocked .
• To keep vibration and noise at the
minimum, when the tumble dryer op-
erates, it must be put on a stable and
flat surface.
• When the appliance is put in its per-
manent position, check if is fully level
with the aid of a spirit level. If it is
not, adjust the feet until it is.
• Do not remove the feet. Do not de-
crease the floor clearance through
thick carpets, bar of wood or equiva-
lent. This can increase the heat which
can cause interference with the oper-
ation of the appliance.
• The temperature of the hot
air which occurs in the tumble
dryer can increase to 60 °C.
The appliance must not be in-
stalled on the floor which is
not resistant to high tempera-
tures.
• When the tumble dryer oper-
ates, the room temperature
must not be lower than +5 °C
and higher than +35 °C. This
can cause unwanted effect on
the performance of the appli-
ance.
• If it is necessary to move the
appliance, it must be moved
vertically.
• The appliance must not be in-
stalled behind a lockable
door, a sliding door, a door
with a hinge on the opposite
side to that of the appliance
in such a way that a full open-
ing of the tumble dryer is re-
stricted.
UNPACKING
CAUTION!
Before use all parts of the transport
packaging must be removed.
1.Open loading door.
2.Pull off adhesive strips from inside
machine on top of drum.
3.Remove foil hose and polystyrene
padding from the machine.

							THE VENT HOSE
INSTALLATION
There are 3 vent outlets: on the
left, right side and at the rear.
1.Pull the ring nut A from the vent
outlet at the rear.
2.Screw on the ring nut to the hose
and push it into position.
3.The not used vents must be sealed
with supplied covers.
If the hose is long and the room
temperature low, the moisture
might condense to water inside
the hose. This is an usual occur-
rence. To prevent this water
from the hose, it is recommend
to drill a small hole (via. 3 mm) in
the lowest point of the hose and
to put a small container below
it. (See picture, point B).
Make sure that the vent hose
length is less than 2 m, and that
it contains no more than 2
bends.
As to the outlet itself, if you have deci-
ded on a install wall/window grille, a
good local builder’s merchant can sup-
ply you with the necessary fittings and
installation advice.
WARNING!
It is important not to connect
the vent hose to, for example, a
cooker hood, or a chimney or
flue pipe designed to transmit
the exhaust from a fuel burning
appliance.
Note that to prevent condensation
problems, it is essential that the dryer
be installed with the flexible hose to
transmit its “exhaust” at least beyond
the kitchen units; preferable outside the
kitchen. In order to prevent the appli-
ance from overheating, it is important
22 
						

							that the steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Thus, if a permanent hose installed to
an external wall or ceiling, it must be
ensured an exhaust capacity of mini-
mum 150 m3/h. If the dryer is installed
adjacent to kitchen units, make sure
that the vent hose is not squashed. If
the hose is not fully squashed, drying
efficiency will be decreased , resulting
in longer drying times and higher ener-
gy consumption. If the hose is fully
squashed, the automatic cut-outs with
which the appliance is fitted can oper-
ate. When operating the tumble dryer,
the room temperature must not be low-
er than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as
it can affect the performance of the ap-
pliance.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• Connect the appliance to a groun-
ded socket. Refer to the applicable
electrical requirements.
• Make sure that the electrical data on
the rating plate agrees with the pow-
er supply.
• Always use a correctly installed
shockproof socket.
• Do not use multiple plugs and exten-
sion cables. There is a risk of fire.
• All replacements of power supply ca-
ble must be carried out by our Serv-
ice.
• Make sure not to squash or cause
damage to the mains plug and cable
behind the appliance.
• Do not pull the mains cable to dis-
connect the appliance. Always pull
the mains plug.
• The plug must be dry.
The data about mains voltage, type of
current and the necessary fuse are on
the rating plate and in the “TECHNI-
CAL INFORMATION” chapter. The rat-
ing plate is behind the load door (see
the “PRODUCT DESCRIPTION” chap-
ter).
The appliance has a power supply ca-
ble with plug fitted with 13 A fuse. If
necessary, replace the fuse in the plug
by 13 A ASTA BS 1363/A approved
fuse.
The wires in the power supply cable are
coloured as follow:

The green and yellow coloured wire
must be connected to the terminal with
E mark or the ground 
 mark or the
green and yellow coloured terminal.
The blue coloured wire must be con-
nected to the terminal N or black col-
oured .The brown coloured wire must be con-
nected to the terminal L or red col-
oured .
The wires of the cable must be no cut
or stray strands of wire present and the
cable clamp must be secure over the
outer sheath.
Permanent connection
The necessary condition of permanent
connection is to install a double-pole
isolating switch directly on the supply
terminals.
The type of switch must be correct for
the necessary load and must align with
applicable electrical requirements.
The switch must not break the yellow
and green coloured ground wire.
