• Please make sure that no gas lighters or matches have accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded into ap­pliance
Warning! Never stop a tumble dry before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated. Risk of fire!
Risk of electric shock! Do not spray down the appliance with jets of water.
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle oc­curs without heat ( cool down cycle ) to ensure that the items are left at a temper­ature that ensures that items will not be damaged.
• The tumble dryer is not to be used if in­dustrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Ensure you have good ventilation in the in­stallation room to avoid the back flow of gases into the room from appliances burn­ing other fuels, including open fires.

Environment
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken to the appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local council, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.
Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore needed when washing.
• Your dryer will function most economically if you: – Always keep the ventilation slots on the
base of the dryer unobstructed;
– Use the loading volumes specified in the
programme overview;
– Ensure you have good ventilation in the
installation room;
– Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strain-
er after each drying cycle;
– Spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on spin­ning speed set in washing machine. Higher spinning speed - lower energy consumption.
Environmental information
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate con­tainer at the community waste disposal fa­cilities.
Important! The heat pump of your dryer contains a closed refrigerant circuit filled with a refrigerant which is free from fluoro-chloro­hydrocarbons. The refrigerant circuit in the heat pump must not be damaged.
Warning! When a unit is no longer being used:
• Pull the plug out of the socket.
• Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.
• Dispose of the door catch. This pre­vents children from trapping them­selves inside and endangering their lives.

Sorting laundry
• Sort by fabric type: – Cotton/linen for programmes in COT-
TONS (Baumwolle) programme group.
– Mixtures and synthetics for pro-
grammes in SYNTHETICS (Mischge­webe) programme group.
• Sort by care label: The care labels mean:
Drying in the tumble dryer possible in principle
Drying at normal temperature
Drying at reduced temperature
Drying in the tumble dryer not possible
electrolux 9
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 programme. Items may shrink!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL (Wolle) programme. Be­fore the drying cycle spin the woollen tex­tiles as well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together of similar or the same material, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry items made of wool separately.
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.
Important! Do not overload the appliance. Observe max. loading volume of 8 kg.

form a barely visible lining on the inside of the drum. The degree to which the laundry has been dried is then no longer detected reliably. The laundry is damper than expected when removed from the dryer. Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.
Clean operating screen and housing
Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners
or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the op­erating screen and housing.
