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 specifications 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 fires 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 final 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.

•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 final 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 floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.
Transporting the appliance
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
flow 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 the appliance. Do not obstruct the front ventilation grille or the air intake grilles at the back of the machine.

•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.
•Should the appliance be moved, it must be transported vertically.

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 program overview;
–Ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;
–Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer 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 fluorochlorohydrocarbons. 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.
