Drying hints

Before loading the laundry

Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as
net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics
with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky
materials such as anoraks, blankets,
eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather
quilts and any items containing rub­ber foam or materials similar to rub­ber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on gar­ment labels:

may be tumble dried

normal drying (high tempera-

ture)

delicate drying (low tempera-

ture)

do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with
fasteners to prevent small laundry
items getting tangled inside them.
Close press studs, zips and hooks
and tie belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and
degree of drying required.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids
creasing and saves energy.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels
as they could attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun
before tumble drying.

•

EEaassyy--ccaarree iitteemmss

, too, e.g. shirts,

should be briefly pre-spun before

drying (depending on crease resist­ance approx. 30 seconds or using
the special brief spin programme of
your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear)
may shrink a little during drying.
Please do not overdry items of this
type. It is advisable to allow for
shrinkage when choosing the size of
new purchases.

• You can also put starched items into
your dryer. However, to achieve the
desired starched effect, choose the
programme “iron dry”. To remove any
starch residues, wipe out the internal
drum after drying with a moist cloth
and then rub it dry.

• To avoid a static charge when drying
is completed, use either a fabric sof­tener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner specif­ically for tumble dryers.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer
has finished drying.

• If individual items are still damp after
drying, set a brief post-drying time,
but

aatt lleeaasstt 3300 mmiinnuutteess

. This will be
necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

Make sure that no metal objects
are left in the laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before
washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a
special detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove
hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Adjusting the level
of conductivity

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts
of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus
varying its conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to
those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual
humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle. Your dryer allows
you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on
conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure.

The filter in the inner door must be
removed for cleaning.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It
is not due to excessive wear caused by the
dryer.

All fabric loses fluff when drying but it
goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble
dryer it simply collects in the filter.

After a while, a withish patina due to
detergent residue on laundry forms on
the filters. When this occurs, clean the
filters with warm water using a brush.
Remove the filter in the door opening
as per picture (it can be positioned with
the tooth facing to the left or to the
right).

Cleaning the drum

When your laundry does not reach the desired
degree of dryness, in other words, when it
turns out either too dry or too damp, we
advise you to clean the inside of the drum with
a cloth soaked with vinegar.

This will eliminate the slight patina that has
formed in the drum (due to residues of
detergent and softeners used in the wash­ing, and to the lime contained in the water),
which prevents the probes from detecting
the correct degree of dryness.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your
convenience, the machine is positioned
close to your washing machine. Whilst
drying, the tumble dryer will expel a
certain amount of warm, very moist air,
and this should be removed from the
room as quickly as possible to prevent
condensation. In an extremely well
ventilated room or close to an open
window, this may occur naturally.

However, in general, it is better to carry
the dryer's exhaust outside via the 100
mm diameter flexible hose supplied

with the appliance; ending either
temporarily at an open window, or
permanently at a fixed ventilation grille,
fitted to an exterior wall or window.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a
clean place, where dirt does not build up.

Make sure there are no obstructing
items or material near the air-intake
louvres provided at the back (e.g. paper,
rags etc.). To keep vibration and noise to
a minimum when the dryer is in use, it
should be placed on a firm, level surface.

Once in its permanent operating
position, check that the dryer is
absolutely level with the aid of a spirit
level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet
until it is.

IImmppoorrttaanntt
The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer

can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.
The appliance must therefore not be
installed on floors which are not resistant
to high temperatures.

When operating the tumble dryer, the

P0046

installation electrolux 25

room temperature must not be lower
than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it
may affect the performance of the
appliance.

Fitting the vent hose

A special stacking kit is available
throughTo simplify the installation, there
is a choice of vent outlets: one at the
back, the others in the left and right­hand side.

Connect the hose to whichever is the
more convenient by pulling the ring nut
(A) from the vent outlet at the back,
screwing it on to the hose and pushing it
firmly back into place. The unused vents
should now be sealed with the special
snap covers provided.

Advice: If the hose is long and the room
temperature low, the moisture might
condense to water inside the hose. This
is an unavoidable natural phenomenon.
To prevent this water from Iying in the
hose or flowing back into the tumble
dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole
(dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the
hose and to place a small container
below it.(See picture, point B).

Once connected to the dryer, run the
vent hose to the desired outlet point,
ensuring that the run’s overall length is
less than 2 m, and that it contains no
more than two bends. As to the outlet
itself, if you have decided on a fixed
wall/window grille, a good local builder’s
merchant should be able to supply you
with the necessary fittings and
installation advice.

It is important not to connect the
vent hose to, for example, a cooker
hood, or a chimney or flue pipe
designed to carry the exhaust from
a fuel burning appliance.

Note that to avoid condensation
problems, it is essential that the dryer be
fitted with the flexible hose to carry its
“exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen
units; preferable outside the kitchen.

In order to prevent the appliance from
overheating, it is important that the
steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose
fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must
be ensured an exhaust capacity of at
least 150 m3/h.

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units,
make sure that the vent hose is not
squashed. If the hose is partially

P0055

GB

26 electrolux installation

squashed, drying efficiency will be
reduced, resulting in longer drying times
and higher energy consumption. If the
hose is completely squashed, the safety
cut-outs with which the machine is fitted
may operate.

When operating the tumble dryer, the
room temperature must not be lower
than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it
may affect the performance of the
appliance.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through
your dealer, to enable the mounting of
the dyer on top of a front loading
washing machine with cover’s depth
between 48 and 60 cm.

Read carefully the instructions supplied
with the kit.

Door reversal

To make it easier to load or unload the
laundry the door can be reversed.
This operation must be carried out by
qualified personnel.
Please contact the nearest Service
Centre.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on
a 230 V,single-phase, 50 Hz supply.
Check that your domestic electrical
installation cantake the maximum load
required, also taking into account any
other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed
socket, in accordance with current
wiring regulations.

The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the
above safety precaution. Should
the appliance power supply cable
need to be replaced, this must be
carried out by our Service Centre.

Ecological hints

To
save water, energy and to help protect
the environment, we recommend that
you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be

washed without prewashing in order to
save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more

economically if it is fully loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains

and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to

the water hardness, the degree of
soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
