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 gar-

ment 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 iitteemms

•

should be briefly pre-spun before

s

, too, e.g. shirts,

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,

aatt lleeaasstt 3300 mmiinnuuttees

but

s

. 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.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in
the programme charts.

General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too

tightly packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum

no more than one third full.

Try to load to the maximum capacity
of the machine as small loads are
uneconomical.

Objective

Adjusting the level
of conductivity

Implementation

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.

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.

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be

Positioning

It is r

ecommended 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.

y

.

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.

26 electrolux installation

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
squashed, drying efficiency will be
reduced, resulting in longer drying
times and higher energy consumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the

P1107

installation electrolux 27

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.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on
a 220-230 V,

single-phase, 50 Hz supply. Check that
your domestic electrical installation can

take 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.

GB

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.

Important!
The power supply cable must be

accessible after installing the machine.

Ecological hints

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

• Try to load the maximum capacity of
the machineas small loads are
uneconomical.

• Always load well spun laundry. The
higher the spinspeed, the lower the
electricity consumption andthe shorter
the drying times.

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

Select the drying programme
according to thetype of laundry and
the required degree ofdryness.

• To utilize the maximum load, laundry
which is tobe dried ready to put away
(store dry) can be driedtogether with
items to be ironed. To do this,
selectthe programme for iron-dry,
remove the iron-dryitems at the end of
the programme and thenfinish-dry the
rest of the load.

• Clean the filters regularly to avoid
excessive dryingtimes and high
electricity consumption.

• Ventilate the room well. The room
temperatureshould not exceed +35°C
during.
