1 Important Safety Information

The safety of Electrolux electrical appliances com­plies with the established technical principles and
statutory equipment safety regulations. Nevertheless,
as manufacturer we have to draw your attention to the
following safety instructions.

General safety

• Repairs of the dryer may be carried out only by
trained personnel. Incompetently carried out
repairs can entail considerable hazards for the
user. Please get in touch with our customer serv­ice or with an authorised Electrolux dealer when
repair is necessary.

• Before commencing operation please make sure
that the nominal voltage and type of supply speci­fied on the type plate of the appliance correspond
to the actual nominal voltage and supply type at
the place of utilisation. The fuse rating is also
specified on the type plate.

• Never operate the dryer when the mains cable is
damaged or when the operator control mask, work
plate or base shrouding are damaged such that
there is direct access to the interior of the appli­ance.

• Switch-off the dryer before carrying out any clean­ing, care and maintenance tasks! You are quite
safe if you disconnect the mains plug from the
power outlet or – if the electrical connection is per­manent – if you switch-off the circuit breaker in the
fusebox or screw the fuse cartridge right out of its
holder.

• Never pull on the cable to disconnect the mains
plug from the power outlet. Always grasp and pull­out the plug.

• Don’t lean on the opened door; this could make
the appliance fall over.

• Don’t use a water jet to spray-down the appliance.
Danger of electric shock!

• The covering hood for the filament lamp bulb for
drum illumination must be screwed-on.

• When closing the door, please check that the
washing is not caught in it.

• If you interrupt the drying process to take out laun­dry, bear in mind that the laundry and the drum
could be hot.

• Adaptors and extension cables must not be used.
There is risk of fire because of overheating!

Safety of children

• Children are often not aware of the dangers
involved when handling electrical equipment.
Therefore provide the necessary supervision of
children when operating the appliance and do not
let children play with the dryer – there is a danger

that children could become trapped inside the
appliance.

• Packaging parts (e.g. films, styropore) can be
dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation!
Keep packaging parts out of reach of children.

• Make sure that children or small animals do not
climb into the drum of the dryer. For this purpose
keep the door of the dryer closed when the appli­ance is not in use.

Utilisation in accordance with the
intended purpose

• Conversions or modifications of the dryer are for­bidden for safety reasons.

• Use the dryer only to dry ordinary household laun­dry! The manufacturer accepts no liability for any
damage resulting from incorrect operation or utili­sation for an unintended purpose.

• Dry only laundry which has been washed in water.
In particular, textiles which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents and solvents (petrol­ether, alcohol, stain remover and similar materi­als) must not be dried in the dryer. Danger of fire!
Explosion hazard!

• Laundry items containing sponge rubber or rub­ber-like materials must not be dried in the dryer.
Danger of fire!

• Washing that is in poor condition (heavily worn)
and items with loose fillings (cushions) that could
break open must not be dried or refreshed. There
is a risk of fire!

• Washing with rigid components (foot mats) will
cover the air slots; the slots will also be covered if
the drum is overfilled. Observe the maximum load
of 5 kg. There is a risk of overheating which could
cause a fire!

• Only dry washing that does not contain any explo­sive objects (fire lighters, spray cans). There is a
risk of fire or an explosion!

• Clean the fluff filter after each drying procedure.

• Clean the condenser regularly.

• In the case of washer / dryer tower combinations,
do not place any objects on the dryer during use
as they could drop down.

Installation and connection

• Check the dryer for Transportation damage. Never
connect-up a damaged appliance! Contact your
supplier if the appliance is damaged.

• If the tumble dryer has to be carried, first remove
the plinth!

• Do not set-up the dryer in frost-endangered
rooms!

• Set-up the dryer horizontal!

4

• If the dryer is placed adjacent to a gas, coal or
electric cooking stove, interpose a thermally insu­lating non-combustible plate between the dryer
and the stove (dimensions: 85x57,5cm).

• Do not place the dryer on high-pile carpet floors!
This would hinder air circulation at the ventilation
slots!

• The electric power plug connector of the appli­ance must remain accessible even after installa­tion.

• Check that the tumble dryer is not standing on the

• The technical conditions of the electric power sup-

mains cable.

ply company for making fixed connections of elec­trical appliances to the mains require that such
connections may only be made by an authorised
electrician.

• Starched washing leaves traces of starch on the
drum and therefore should not be placed in the
tumble dryer.

• If you exceed the maximum load stipulated in the
program table your washing is more likely to get
creased! For very delicate fabrics you should only
fill in 1.5kg washing at the most.

2 Disposal

Packaging

Dispose of the packaging material!

Dispose of the packaging material of your tumble
dryer correctly. All the packaging materials used are
harmless to the environment and can be recycled.

• Plastic parts are marked with standard interna­tional abbreviations:
– >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping

material

– >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding mate-

rial (always CFC-free)

– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic

clips
Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled
paper and should be deposited in the waste paper
collection for recycling.

• For your information: 70 per cent of fabric wear is
caused by being worn, 20 per cent by washing
and only 10 per cent by being dried in a tumble
dryer. As the fabric is worn down, fluff gathers in
the fluff filter. When using a tumble dryer, only
approx. 0.03g fluff per kilogramme washing is pro­duced.

Disposal of the old appliance!

When you eventually stop using your tumble dryer
please bring it to the nearest recycling centre or to
your dealer who will take it back for a small fee.

1

The materials can be recycled in accordance with
their markings. Standard tools (crosshead screw­driver, hammer) are sufficient to dismantle the old
appliance.

Warning! When disposing of the tumble
dryer, pull out the plug, cut off the flex, dis­pose of the plug and remaining flex and
destroy the door lock. This hinders children
from locking themselves in and endangering
their lives.

2 Environmental protection tips

• Your laundry will become light and soft in the tum­ble dryer even without a fabric softening agent.

• Loosen your laundry before loading it into the
dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times
and creasing. Ensure your laundry is well spun.

• Remove as much water as possible from the
washing before drying!

Spinning/wringing out: Drying cycle:

Revolutions per minute

in litres in %

800 3.5 70 130 3.5

1000 3.0 59 110 3,0

1200 2.7 53 105 2.7

1400 2.5 50 100 2.6

1600 2.2 44 95 2.5

• Never obstruct the ventilation slits at the base of
the dryer!

• Ensure that the room is well ventilated!

• Observe the maximum load instructions. When­ever possible, dry full loads.

This is based on the principle: the better you spin the
washing before drying the more economical the dryer
is.
In the following table we give an overview of specific
electric consumption data depending on the spinning
speed. This information is valid for 5kg laundry dried
with the program COTTONS CUPBOARD DRY
(BAUMWOLLE SCHRANKTROCKEN):

2)spun at 1 000 revolutions per minute

If the amount of laundry is not enough for a particular
degree of drying (e.g. HAND IRON; BÜGELTRO­CKEN), you should dry it in stages for best economy:
Fill the dryer and select the program HAND IRON
(BÜGELTROCKEN); after the end of this program
take out your laundry for ironing. Finally dry the
remaining laundry with the program CUPBOARD
DRY (SCHRANKTROCKEN).

• Only use the SPECIAL CARE (SCHON) button for
loads up to 2.5kg.

• Clean the fluff filter after every drying program!

• Empty the water reservoir after every drying proc­ess!

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the condenser

1

Important! When the CONDENSER (WÄR­METAUSCHER) display lights, it is essential
to clean the condenser. Otherwise your dryer
might suffer damage. In addition energy con­sumption will be increased if the condenser
unit is covered with fluff.

Cleaning the filter area

1

1. Remove the fluff filter.

2. Hold the filter lid by the top and pull it forwards

3. Remove the fluff from the entire filter area – pref-

4. Press both pins of the filter lid into the holders on

5. Reinsert the fluff filter.

6. Press against the filter lid until it clicks into the

Important! A small amount of fluff may

reach the area around the filter in spite of the
fluff filter. Therefore you should clean the
entire filter area from time to time, or at least
every three months.

lock.

For information on cleaning the condenser see sec­tion "Cleaning and maintenance, cleaning the con­denser".

Cleaning the drum

1

Warning! Do not clean the stainless steel
drum with abrasive detergents or steel wool!

Fabric softeners or lime in the water can cause
a scarcely visible deposit to form on the drum.
The dryer is then no longer reliably able to
recognise how dry the washing is. When the
washing is removed from the dryer it will be
damper than you expect.

1. Wipe the inside of the drum and the drum fins with
white vinegar to avoid a build up of residues/
deposits effecting the sensors. This is particularly
important if you regulary use fabric conditioning
sheets or dry starched items in the dryer.

Cleaning the panel and operating parts

1

Warning! Do not use household furniture

polish or aggressive detergents.

1. Wipe over the panel and operating parts with a
damp cloth.
Only use warm water.

Cleaning the door seal

1. Rub the door seal with a damp cloth immediately

after the drying procedure.

This appliance complies with the following
EC directives:
– 73/23/EEC of 19/2/1973 ’Low voltage

directive’

– 89/336/EEC of 3/5/1989 ’EMC directive’

including the
Modification directive 92/31/ EEC

Installation and electrical connection

Please refer to the type plate for specifications about
the power supply. The nominal voltage stated on the
type plate and type of current must be identical with

the nominal voltage and type of current at the point of
installation. Also refer to the type plate for the fuse
required.

Information for the electrician

When connecting the appliance without a plug, care
must be taken that this is done correctly. Please fol­low the relevant information in the section on install­ing and connecting the appliance.
For appliances with variable voltage settings, the
switch-over diagram can be found on the cover of the
connection box at the back of the appliance.

If the appliance is connected by a plug to 230 V AC,
only a Type 12 L+N+PE 250 V, 10 A Swiss plug may
be used in accordance with Standard Specifications
Sheet SEV 6534-2,1991. The plug must be installed
in phase in accordance with the rating plate (it is
essential that phase L of the socket is contacted with
the brown wire of the mains cable).
Improper connection can lead to the risk of a fire in
the dryer.

Special accessories

You can obtain the following special accessories from
your retailer.

Drainage kit

With this kit (E-No. 916 019 000) you can lead the
condensate directly into a drain (sink, siphon, drain
grating) with a maximum feed height of 1m above the
floor on which the dryer is standing (3m Length).
Emptying he condensate container is then no longer
necessary.
You can then suppress the EMPTY WATER
(BEHÄLTER) indicator at the end of each program
with the aid of the appliance programming features
(see " Programming possibilities" section). However,

the condensate container must be inserted correctly
in the operator control mask.

25

Stacking kit

With these kits you can combine your laundry dryer
with any LAVAMAT automatic washing machine to a
washing and drying column. The appliances are
stacked in space-economising manner in this
arrangement, the washing machine at the bottom and
the laundry dryer at the top.

Service

In the chapter "Something not working" some distur­bances have been summarised, which you can solve
yourself. If you do not find any helpful information
there, please contact your local customer service
centre. It is nearby and if necessary can reach you
quickly.
(Addresses and phone numbers can be found in the
Warranty Conditions/Service Departments)

Be well prepared before you phone. This facilitates
the diagnosis and the decision as to whether a cus­tomer service visit is necessary. With our checklist
you can gather important information before making
your call:

The following two kits are available:

– without plate E-No. 916018 900
– with extendible deposit

plate E-No. 916 018 901

Make a note of the PNC number and the S number.
They are both on the rating plate behind your tumble
dryer’s door.

PNC .........................................................................

S-No .........................................................................

If possible establish:

• How is the disturbance evident?

• Under what circumstances does the disturbance
occur?

• Does the multi-display issue an error message? ((
and a number)?

When do you incur costs even during the
warranty period?

– if you could have solved the disturbance your-

self with the help of the Troubleshooting table
(see section "Something not working"),

– if the customer service engineer has to make

several journeys because he did not receive all
the necessary important information before his
visit and now e.g. has to fetch spares. You can
avoid these extra trips by preparing your tele­phone call properly in the way described
above.
