ture

Important! Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble-drying. This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable for tumble-drying.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.

• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with the EXTRA DROOG (EXTRA) programme. Items may shrink!

• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the

WOL (WOOL) programme. Before the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together which are similar or the same with respect to material, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry items made of wool separately.

Special notes about Iron Aid

Caution!

• The following textiles cannot be treated using an Iron Aid programme: woollen knitwear, leather, textiles with large metal, wooden or plastic parts, textiles with rusting metal parts, oilskins or wax cotton garments.

Drying in the tumble

dryer not possible

• To smooth or freshen laundry with an Iron Aid programme, sort laundry by size, weight, material and colour. Only smooth textiles together that are similar in terms of size, weight, material and colour.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Colours may fade (check colour fastness of fabric when damp in an inconspicuous area).

• Do not use dry cleaning sets such as dryel in combination with Iron Aid programmes.

Preparing laundry

• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better.

Special notes about Iron Aid

• Before treating garments with an Iron Aid programme, remove stains by washing or using localised stain removal.

Iron AidTM Steam System

Fill water tank

You must fill up the water tank before using an Iron Aid programme for the first time. Use the distilled water provided if there is not yet any condensed water from previous drying programmes (see chapter on "Cleaning and Maintenance, Emptying condensed water container"). If, after an Iron Aid programme is

selected, the display lights up, you will need to fill up the water tank with distilled water. Otherwise, you will not be able to start any Iron Aid programme.

Caution! Important! Only fill the water tank with distilled or fully desalinated water. Do not use tap water or additives! You can also use the condensed water from the tank, as long as you filter it first (use the canister supplied with the filter fitted: see figure opposite).

When dry, all textiles not specifically prohibited in the chapter ‘Sorting and preparing laundry’ may be treated with the Iron Aid Steam System. Wet textiles may only be treated if they are labelled as suitable for dry programmes.

Water recirculation system

This system allows you to automatically use for an Iron Aid Steam cycle the condensed water collected in the condense water tank during a drying cycle.

Caution! The water in the condense water tank will never automatically fill the steam water tank. The water recirculation system works only if it is supplied by water arising during standard drying cycles.

To activate this system turn the valve to the ON position. When the valve is ON the steam water tank will be filled during the next drying cycle. Water will be supplied by the water circuit directly to the steam water tank filling it automatically.

All information on applications is for guidance only. Smoothing results may vary depending on the selected programme and especially the fittings and material properties of the textile. The results can be improved if necessary by using different programmes and steam volumes. For example, some textiles containing more than 20% synthetics but with the right fittings may behave more like cotton textiles in an Iron Aid programme. You may therefore get better smoothing results by selecting a cotton Iron Aid programme.

Given the wide range of different textile grades and properties that can be manufactured today using different mechanical and chemical processes, we recommend running the first few Iron Aid programmes at low steam levels and with a small number of garments that are as similar as possible. Later, you can carefully start to vary the conditions of Iron Aid programmes to learn from

All information provided on selecting the steam level and corresponding load are suggestions only. In some cases, using a higher steam level or smaller load may give better

results. The

OPFRISSEN (REFRESH) programme is a gentle Iron Aid programme for nonwashable textiles. Any distortion to the shape of a garment which might occur in few cases, can be remedied by ironing.

Selecting the programme

Use the programme selector to set the programme you require. The estimated programme duration (in minutes) appears in the multi-display.

Select steam level (BELADING (LOAD))

To achieve the best results, different steam levels are required for different volumes of laundry. The BELADING (LOAD) button is used to set the required steam level: MIN, MED or MAX.

All Iron Aid programmes, apart from the OPFRISSEN (REFRESH) programme, automatically recognise the remaining dampness in clothes. When laundry is wet, a drying cycle is activated first if required. The table shows the steam levels appropriate for the selected load, under BELADING (LOAD).

1. Press the BELADING (LOAD) button repeatedly until the desired steam level

12 electrolux

(MIN, MED or MAX) is shown in the display.

If the BELADING (LOAD) button is not pressed after an

Iron Aid programme is selected, then medium steam level (MED) is selected automatically. If you select the

OPFRISSEN (REFRESH) programme, MIN is selected automatically.

Important: If in doubt, always select a lower steam level first until you have more experience with load volumes, fabric types and the corresponding optimum steam level. If too high a steam level is selected, garments may lose their shape. If too low a steam level is selected, creases may remain.

Selecting additional functions

The additional functions available for the Iron Aid programmes are ZOEMER (BUZZER), STARTUITSTEL (DELAY) and the CHILD LOCK.

ZOEMER (BUZZER) The appliance is supplied with the ZOEMER

(BUZZER)

function activated. When the drying cycle has finished, an intermittent acoustic signal will sound. Each time a button is pressed or a programme is changed using the programme knob, an audible signal is also set to sound. The button is used to switch the function on or off. When the function is

active, the ZOEMER (BUZZER)

symbol

appears in the display.

STARTUITSTEL (DELAY)

With the STARTUITSTEL (DELAY) button, you can delay the start of a pro-

gramme by between 30 minutes (

) and a maximum of 20

hours (

1. Select the programme and additional functions.

2. Press the STARTUITSTEL (DELAY) button as many times as necessary until the required start delay appears on the dis-

play, e.g.

Starting an Iron AidTM programme

Press the START/PAUZE button. The programme is started. First, the drying phase indicator appears in the display. The display will also show the programme duration for the selected Iron Aid programme, not including the additional drying phase. With wet laundry, after a few minutes the appliance will show the correct programme duration for the Iron Aid programme including the preceding drying programme. As soon as the right level of dryness is reached, the Iron Aid programme will start automatically. The steam indicator shows the progress of the Iron Aid programme in the display. The individual steam phases are shown by animated clouds of steam.

Caution! Important: During the steam phases that form part of the Iron Aid programme and also the anti-crease phase (represented by animated clouds of steam in the display), the loading door cannot be opened. Risk of burns!

If the you select an Iron Aid programme, the programme cannot be started. You will need to fill the water tank first (see section on ‘Cleaning and maintenance,filling water tank’.)
