1.2 General Safety

Do not change the specification of this appliance.
If the tumble dryer is put on top of a washing machine,
use the stacking kit. The stacking kit, available from your authorized vendor, can be used only with the appliance specified in the instructions, supplied with the
www.electrolux.com4
accessory. Read it carefully before installation (Refer to the Installation leaflet).
The appliance can be installed as freestanding or below
the kitchen counter with correct space (Refer to the Installation leaflet).
Do not install the appliance behind a lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side, where the appliance door can not be fully opened.
The ventilation openings in the base (if applicable) must
not be obstructed by a carpet.
Connect the mains plug to the mains socket only at the
end of the installation. Make sure that there is access to the mains plug after the installation.
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.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. (if applicable)
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its Authorised Service Centre or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Obey the maximum load volume of 9kg (refer to the
“Programme chart” chapter).
Do not use the appliance if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning.
Wipe away lint that has accumulated around the
appliance.
Do not run the appliance without a filter. Clean the lint
filter before or after each use.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the tumble dryer.
Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying
cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
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 the items will not be damaged.
Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and
disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
