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.

Special notes about Iron Aid

• Before treating garments with an Iron Aid programme, remove stains by washing or using localised stain re-

All information on applications is for guidance only. Smoothing results may vary depending on the selected programme and especially the fittings and material properties of the textile. The results can be improved if necessary by using different programmes and steam volumes. For example, some textiles containing more than 20% synthetics but with the right fittings may behave more like cotton textiles in an Iron Aid programme. You may therefore get better smoothing results by selecting a cotton Iron Aid programme.

Given the wide range of different textile grades and properties that can be manufactured today using different mechanical and chemical processes, we recommend running the first few Iron Aid programmes at low steam levels and with a small number of garments that are as similar as possible. Later, you can carefully start to vary the conditions of Iron Aid programmes to learn from experience how to get the best results from the volume of laundry loaded, the quality of the textiles and the most suitable steam levels and Iron Aid programmes.

Please also note the accompanying ‘Textile Guide’.

All information provided on selecting the steam level and corresponding load are suggestions only. In some cases, using a higher steam level or smaller load may give better results. The REFRESH (VENTILACIÓN) programme is a gentle Iron Aid programme for non-washable textiles. Any distortion to the shape of a garment which might occur in few cases, can be remedied by ironing.

* exact programme times appear in the display once the machine has performed wet/dry recognition (approx. 2 min.)

Page 18

18 electrolux overview of iron aidtm programmes

Selecting the programme

Use the programme selector to set the programme you require. The estimated programme duration without drying cycle (in minutes) appears in the display.

Select steam level (LOAD - CARGA)

To achieve the best results, different steam levels are required for different volumes of laundry. The LOAD (CARGA) button is used to set the required steam level: MIN, MED or MAX.

All Iron Aid programmes, apart from the

REFRESH (VENTILACIÓN) programme, automatically recognise the remaining dampness in clothes. When laundry is wet, a drying cycle is activated first if required. The programme chart shows the steam levels appropriate for the selected load, under LOAD (CARGA).

1. Press the LOAD (CARGA) button re-

peatedly until the desired steam level (MIN, MED or MAX) is shown in the display.

If the LOAD (CARGA) button is not pressed after an Iron Aid programme is selected, the medium steam level (MED) is selected automatically. If you select the REFRESH (VENTILACIÓN) programme, MIN is selected automatically.

Page 19

Important: If in doubt, always select a lower steam level first until you have more experience with load volumes, fabric types and the corresponding optimum steam level. If too high a steam level is selected, garments may lose their shape. If too low a steam level is selected, creases may remain.

Selecting additional functions

The additional functions available for the Iron Aid programmes are BUZZER (ALARMA), TIME DELAY (INICIO DIFERIDO) and the CHILD SAFETY DEVICE.

Iron Aid programme complete / removing laundry

After the Iron Aid phase has ended, 0.00 is illuminated and the message

ANTICREASE appears in the display. If the BUZZER (ALARMA) has been activated, an audible signal sounds at regular intervals.

The Iron Aid programme is automatically followed by an anti-crease phase, including brief steam phases, which lasts around 90 minutes.

The drum rotates during the anti-crease phase. This keeps the laundry loose and free of creases. It can be removed at any point during the anti-crease phase, except during steam phases (look for steam animation in the display!). Laundry should be removed as quickly as possible.

1. Open the loading door to remove the laundry.

2. Before removing the laundry, remove fluff from the micro-fine filter. It is best to use a damp hand for this purpose. (See “Cleaning and maintenance” section.)

3. Remove laundry one garment at a time.

To retain the effects of the Iron Aid treatment, clothes must be removed one garment at a time during the anti-crease phase and hung immediately on a clothes hanger to dry (for at least 5-15 mins, depending on fabric and selected steam level). Do up the buttons and tug the garment into shape, paying particular attention to cuffs and seams.

4. Turn the programme knob to O OFF.

Important! After each drying cycle – Clean the micro-fine filter and fine fil-

The drum rotates at intervals during this phase. This keeps the laundry loose and free of creases. It can be removed at any time during the anti-crease phase. (The laundry should be taken out towards the end of the anti-crease phase at the latest to prevent creases from forming.)

1. Open door.

2. Before removing the laundry, remove fluff from the micro-fine filter. It is best to use a damp hand for this purpose. (See “Cleaning and maintenance” section.)

3. Remove laundry.

4. Turn the programme knob to O OFF.

Important! After each drying cycle – Clean the micro-fine filter and fine fil-

ter

– Drain the condensed water contain-

er (See section “Cleaning and maintenance”.)

5. Close door.

Cleaning the filter area

The filter area does not have to be cleaned after every drying cycle, but should be checked regularly and cleaned of fluff, if necessary.

You will need to undertake the following (to clean the filter area:

1. Remove lint filter (see chapter on ‘Cleaning lint filters’).

2. Remove fluff from the entire filter area. It is best to use a vacuum cleaner for this purpose.

3. Replace the filter.

Emptying the condensed water container

Empty condensed water container after every drying cycle.

If the condensate tank is full, an active programme will break off automatically and the CONTAINER display will light up. In order to continue the programme, the condensed water container must first be emptied.

Warning! The condensate is not suitable for drinking or for preparing foodstuffs.

1. Pull drawer containing condensed water container all the way out (1) and pull up the condensed water container’s drainage pipe as far as it will go (2).

2. Pour out the condensate into a basin or similar container.

3. Push drainage pipe in and refit condensed water container.

If the programme has been interrupted as a result of the condensed water container being full: Press the START/PAUSE (INICIO/PAUSA) button to continue the drying cycle.

The condensed water container has a volume of approx. 4 litres. This is sufficient for around 6kg of laundry which has previously been spun at 1000 revolutions/minute.

Page 31

cleaning and maintenance electrolux 31

4. The condensed water be used as distilled water, e.g. for steam irons. However, first filter the condensed water to remove any residues and small pieces of fluff.

Using the attached canister to filter: Pour the water out of the container

straight through the filter at the top of the canister.

Fill water tank

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 appliance’s container, as long as you filter it first.

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

Page 32

32 electrolux cleaning and maintenance

2. Fill with distilled water from the canister provided, up to the MAX mark inside the container.

3. Push filler neck and drawer with condensed water container back in.

The water tank has a volume of approx. 1.3 litres. This is sufficient for around 4 – 10 Iron Aid programmes with garment steaming, depending on the selected volume of steam, programme and the corresponding steam phases during the crease guard phase.

You can easily check the level of water in the tank at any time by looking at the fill indicator in the viewing window. The maximum fill level is indicated by the MAX mark.

An overflow guard prevents the container from being overfilled.

The water tank indicator on the display lights up as soon as the fill volume in the tank falls below 500 ml when you start a programme (this corresponds to the maximum volume of water required for the Iron Aid programme that uses the most steam, including the crease guard phase). This prevents an Iron Aid programme from being interrupted because of an empty water tank.

Page 33

cleaning and maintenance electrolux 33

Emptying the water tank for long periods of disuse

If Iron Aid programmes are not run for more than three weeks, the tank should be emptied and refilled with fresh distilled water if required.

1. Open door in plinth in front of heat exchanger (see chapter on ‘Cleaning the heat exchanger’) and place a collecting container in front of the appliance.

2. Pull out the drainage hose underneath the heat exchanger (1).

3. Remove the plug from the end of the hose (2) and allow the water to drain into the collecting container.

4. Then seal the hose again and push it back into its original position.

5. Close door in plinth.

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the HEAT EXCHANGER display is illuminated, the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.

Caution! Operating when the heat exchanger is clogged with lint can damage the appliance. This also increases energy consumption.

1. Open loading door

2. Open base door. To do this, press the release button located beneath the loading aperture and open the base door to the left.

3. Remove lint from the inside of the door and the heat exchange chamber. Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth.

4. Turn both lock washers inwards.

5. Use the handle to pull the heat exchanger out of the base and carry it horizontally to prevent any remaining water from spilling.

6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold vertically over a washing-up bowl.

Page 35

cleaning and maintenance electrolux 35

Caution! Do not use sharp objects to clean the heat exchanger. You could damage it an cause leaks.

7. Clean heat exchanger. It is best to use a brush or to rinse thoroughly with a shower head.

8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into place (turn both lock washers outwards until they snap into place).

9. Close base door.

The appliance will not operate if the HEAT EXCHANGER indicator is still lit.

Caution! Never operate the appliance without the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the drum

Important Do not use scourers or steel wool to clean the drum.

Lime in the water or laundry care products may 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 appliance.

Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside of the drum and drum ribs.

Clean control panel and housing

Important Do not use furniture cleaners or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the appliance.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the control panel and housing.
