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.

Minimum gap 10mm

●

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

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, the dryer will not operate efficiently in an enclosed space or cupboard.

!We do not recommend that the dryer is installed in a cupboard but the dryer must never be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the dryer door.

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

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 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.

TVFG 65 specifications

The Hotpoint TVFG 65 is a versatile and efficient freestanding cooker that combines modern technology with user-friendly features. It stands out for its sleek design and the practicality it offers to home cooks who appreciate both functionality and aesthetics in their kitchen appliances.

At the heart of the TVFG 65 is its dual fuel cooking system, which pairs a gas hob with an electric oven. This combination provides precise temperature control for the oven while allowing for instant heat and responsiveness from the gas burners on the hob. The cooker is equipped with four gas burners, which vary in size, enabling users to choose the best fitting burner for their culinary needs, whether boiling, simmering, or sautéing.

One of the standout features of the Hotpoint TVFG 65 is its pyrolytic cleaning technology. This innovative self-cleaning function uses high temperatures to incinerate food residues and grease, transforming them into ash that can simply be wiped away. This feature significantly reduces the hassle of cleaning the oven, saving time and effort for busy cooks.

The oven also supports conventional and fan-assisted cooking modes, providing versatility for preparing a variety of dishes. The fan-assisted option ensures even heat distribution, which is ideal for baking, while the conventional mode is perfect for roasting meats to achieve that golden exterior and succulent inside. With an A rating for energy efficiency, users can also rest assured that their cooking habits are environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Another impressive aspect of the TVFG 65 is its built-in timer and clock, which helps maintain cooking schedules, ensuring dishes are cooked to perfection every time. The stainless-steel finish not only adds an element of sophistication but also ensures durability and ease of maintenance.

Additionally, safety features like automatic ignition and a flame failure device enhance peace of mind for users, particularly in households with children. With easy-to-use controls and a spacious interior, the Hotpoint TVFG 65 is designed to accommodate all cooking styles and preferences, making it an ideal choice for every kitchen. The combination of these technologies and features truly makes it a standout option in the market for freestanding cookers.
