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:
Residual dampness
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):

• Select the appropriate drying program for the type
and quantity of laundry. The dryer will then operate as economically as possible. Some typical
consumption values:

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!

You can use the collected condensed water as distilled water in the household, but first pour it through a
paper filter bag.

• Clean the condenser regularly!
Caution! The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for use with foodstuffs.
The dryer will operate more economical ly if you
clean the condenser regularly.
