Important safety information

In the interest of your safety and to ensure
the correct use, before installing and first
using the appliance, read this user manual
carefully, including its hints and warnings. To
avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents,
it is important to ensure that all people using
the appliance are thoroughly familiar with its
operation and safety features. Save these
instructions and make sure that they remain
with the appliance if it is moved or sold, so
that everyone using it through its life will
be properly informed on appliance use and
safety.

General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specications or

attempt to modify this product in any way.

• This appliance is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

• Make sure that small pets do not climb into the

drum. To avoid this, please check into the drum
before using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails,

screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material
can cause extensive damage and must not be
placed into the machine.

• In order to avoid danger of res caused by

excessive drying, do not use appliance to dry
the following items: Cushions, quilts and the like
(these items accumulate heat).

• 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.

• Always unplug the appliance after use, cleaning

and maintenance.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt

to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried

out by inexperienced persons may cause injury

or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local
Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare
parts.

electrolux safety information 3

• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,

especially when exposed to heat sources such
as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm,

causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation

creates heat. If the heat can not escape, the items
can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,

stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent

heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

• Items that have been soiled with substances such

as cooking oil, acetone, petrol kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxers and wax removers
or have been contaminated by hair care products
should be washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried in the
tumble dryer – this will reduce but not eliminate
the hazard.

• Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items
that have been in contact with flammable solvents
(petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning fluid
and the like). These substance are volatile and

could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items

washed with water.

• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
fire hazard and should not be placed in the tumble
dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain

remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle
before loading your tumble dryer.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters or matches

have accidentally been left in pockets of garments
to be loaded into the appliance.

• The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs

without heat (cool down cycle) so that the items
are left at a temperature which ensures they will
not be damaged.

• Risk of electric shock! Do not spray down the

appliance with jets of water.

• 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. Risk of fire!

• Lint must not be allowed to accumulate

around the tumble dryer.

Transporting the appliance

• This appliance is heavy. Care should be

taken when moving it.

• When unpacking the appliance, check that

it is not damaged. If in doubt, do not use it
and contact the Customer Care Centre.

• All packing and transit bolts must be

removed before use. Serious damage can
occur to the product and to property if this
is not adhered to. See relevant section in
the user manual.

• The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs

without heat (cool down cycle) so that
the items are left at a temperature which
ensures they will not be damaged.

• Any electrical work required to install this

appliance should be carried out by a
qualified electrician or competent person.

• Care must be taken to ensure that the

appliance does not stand on the electrical
supply cable.

• If the machine is situated on a carpeted
oor, please adjust the feet in order to allow

air to circulate freely.

Only tip the appliance on its left side to

transport (see illustration), if it cannot be
transported in an upright position.

If the appliance was not transported in an
upright position, leave it to stand for 12 hours
before connecting it to the electricity supply and
using it for the first time, so that the oil can

ow back to the compressor. Otherwise the

compressor could be damaged.

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your

convenience, the machine is positioned
close to your washing machine.

• The tumble dryer must be installed in a

clean place, where dirt does not build up.

• Air must be able to circulate freely all round

electrolux installation 5

• 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.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not

restrict the floor clearance through deep pile
carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might

cause heat built-up which would interfere

with the operation of the appliance.

• 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 room

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

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 uffy 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 specied in the

program overview;

– Ensure you have good ventilation in the

installation room;

– Clean the micro-ne lter and ne strainer

after each drying cycle;

– Spin the laundry well before drying.

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 uoro-

chlorohydrocarbons. The refrigerant circuit
in the heat pump must not be damaged.

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.

Energy consumption depends on spinning
speed set in washing machine. Higher spinning
speed – lower energy consumption.

If the warning lamp
fluff filters in the base of the appliance must be
cleaned. i.e. after each 5 drying cycles.

To protect the heat pump from dirt, the dryer
is fitted with a lint filter, which is located in
the filter housing. Here, large amounts of lint
build up over time, which affects the function
of the appliance. Water can collect in the filter
housing. Therefore it is normal for the heat
exchange fluff filters to become wet.

• Never operate the dryer without the lint

filters.

• Operating when the lint lter is clogged

with lint can damage the dryer. This also
increases energy consumption.

• A dirty heat pump can only be cleaned

professionally and may be a costly process.

careful not to apply too much pressure, ensure
you do not cause the condenser fins to bend.

The lint can be removed more easily if it is first
dampened e.g. with a laundry dampener. It is
best to use a vacuum cleaner for this purpose.

20 replacing the light electrolux

Replacing the light

Replacing the drum light

Only use a special bulb which is designed

specially for dryers. The special bulb can be
obtained from your local Customer Care Centre.

Important! When the appliance is switched on,
the interior lighting switches itself off after
4 minutes when the door is open.

Do not use standard bulbs! These develop too
much heat and may damage the machine!

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the
mains plug; with a permanent connection: fully
unscrew or deactivate the fuse.

1. Unscrew the cover above the bulb (this

can be found directly behind the loading
aperture, at the top; refer to “Product
description” chapter.)

2. Replace the defective bulb.

3. Screw cover back down. Check the correct

positioning of o-ring gasket before screwing

back the door light cover. Do not operate

the dryer if the o-ring is missing.

For safety reasons, the cover must be screwed
down tightly. If this is not done, the dryer must
not be operated.

The Thoughtful Design Innovator.

Do you remember the last time you opened a gift that made you say
“Oh! How did you know? That’s exactly what I wanted!” That’s the kind of
feeling that the designers at Electrolux seek to evoke in everyone who
chooses or uses one of our products. We devote time, knowledge, and a
great deal of thought to anticipating and creating the kind of appliances that
our customers really need and want.

This kind of thoughtful care means innovating with insight. Not design for
design’s sake, but design for the user’s sake. For us, thoughtful design means

making appliances easier to use and tasks more enjoyable to perform, freeing

our customers to experience that ultimate 21st century luxury, ease of mind.

Our aim is to make this ease of mind more available to more people in more

parts of their everyday lives, all over the world. So when we say we’re thinking

of you, you know we mean just that.

The “Thinking of you” promise from Electrolux goes beyond meeting the
needs of today’s consumers. It also means we’re committed to making
appliances safe for the environment—now and for future generations.

Electrolux. Thinking of you.
