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 drying 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.

8 electrolux environmental tips

Environmental tips

• During the drying process, laundry
becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric sof­teners are not therefore needed
when washing.

• Condensed water can be used for
iron aid programmes after beeing fil­tered.

• Your appliance will function most
economically if you:

– spin the laundry well before drying.

Example: Consumption data – de­pending on spinning speed – for
6kg of laundry, dried using the

COTTON

Special notes about Iron Aid

• The following textiles cannot be
treated using an Iron Aid pro­gramme:
woollen knitwear, leather, textiles
with large metal, wooden or plastic
parts, textiles with rusting metal
parts, oilskins or wax cotton gar­ments.

• To smooth or freshen laundry with an
Iron Aid programme, sort laundry by
size, weight, material and colour.
Only smooth textiles together that
are similar in terms of size, weight,
material and colour.

• Do not dry new, coloured textiles to­gether with light-coloured laundry

items. Colours may fade (check col­our fastness of fabric when damp in
an inconspicuous area).

• Do not use dry cleaning sets such as
dryel in combination with Iron Aid
programmes.

Preparing laundry - general

• 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.

Fill water tank

You must fill up the water tank before
using an Iron Aid programme for the first
time. Use the distilled water provided if
there is not yet any condensed water
from previous drying programmes (see
chapter on ‘Cleaning and Maintenance,

display lights up, you will need to fill up
the water tank with distilled water. Oth­erwise, you will not be able to start any
Iron Aid programme.

Important Only fill the water tank
with distilled or fully desalinated
water. Do not use tap water or addi­tives! You can also use the con­densed water from the condensed
water container, as long as you filter
it first (use the canister supplied
with the filter fitted: see figure oppo­site).

1. Pull drawer containing condensed
water container out a little (1), then
pull out the water tank’s filler neck
(2).
