Prior to using for the first time
•Note the
”Installation and connection
instructions”.
•Important: The appliance must be
moved in vertical position for transport.
• Before first starting up, check the machine
for any damage incurred during transport.
Never connect up a damaged machine. If
parts are damaged, contact your supplier.
Correct use in accordance with the
requiremen
ts
•The appliance is intended for drying
and iron aid treatment of standard
laundry in domestic applications.
•The machine is not intended for use
by people (including children) with limited
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
lack of experience or lack of knowledge
unless supervised or instructed by
someone responsible for their safety
when using the machine.
•Conversions or modifications to the
machine are not permitted.
•Do not use the drying cycle to dry
unwashed laundry.
•Laundry which is stained or soaked in
oil must not be dried or smoothed in
this machine. Risk of fire!
• Before being dried or smoothed, laundry
which has come into contact with substances such as oil, acetone, alcohol,
petrol, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine,
wax or wax removers must be rinsed
thoroughly by hand using warm water
mixed with a cleaning agent.
•Do not place items of laundry in the
machine if they contain foam rubber
(Latex foam) or materials similar to rubber.
Such items include shower caps, waterrepellent textiles, textiles with rubber
inserts and pieces of clothing or cushions with foam rubber stuffing.
•Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a tumble dryer
to eliminate the effects of static electricity, unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
•Do not place heavily worn laundry
items in the appliance. Risk of fire!
•Do not place laundry items with loose
fillings (e.g. cushions) in the appliance.
Risk of fire!
• Parts with rigid components (e.g. door
mats) may cover the air slots. Risk of fire!
Do not place such items in the appliance.
•Do not overfill the appliance.
Risk of fire! Observe max. loading volu-
me of 6 kg.
•To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble
dryer, the following should be observed:
– Items that have been spotted or soaked
with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
fire hazard and should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
• 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
cannot 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.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain
vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be
placed in a tumble dryer they should first
be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate,
the hazard.
The 'cool down' cycle of tumble dryers
should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be

removed from the tumble dryer or piled
or stacked while hot.
•Items that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, drycleaning solvents or
other flammable or explosive substances
should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Highly flammable substances commonly
used in domestic environments include
acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol /gasoline,
kerosene, spot removers (some brands),
turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
•Items containing foam rubber (also known
as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber.
like materials should not be dried in a
tumble dryer on a heat setting.
• Foam rubber materials can, when heated,
produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
•Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a
tumble dryer. Damage to the tumble
dryer can result if metal reinforcements
come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such
items.
•Plastic articles such as shower caps or
babies' waterproof napkin covers should
not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with
foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber-coated tennis shoes should not
be placed in a tumble dryer.
•Explosive objects (e.g. cigarette lighters,
spray cans, etc.) must not enter the
machine with the laundry. Risk of fire and
/or explosion!
•When using dry-cleaning sets: Only use
those products which are declared as suitable for the dryer by the manufacturer.
• Clean the micro-fine filter and fine strainer
after each drying cycle or Iron Aid programme.
• Do not use the machine without a lint filter
or with a damaged lint filter. Risk of fire!
•Only fill the water reservoir with distilled
water. Do not use tap water or any
additives! The condensed water from
this appliance’s condensed water container
can also be used, if it is filtered first (e.
g. with a coffee filter).
•Clean the heat exchanger regularly.
• With stacked washer and Iron Aid appliance:
Do not place objects on the appliance.
These may fall off during operation.
•The lampcover for the interior light
must be screwed down tightly.
Child safety
•Keep packaging away from children.
There is a risk of suffocation!
• Children often do not recognise the hazards
associated with electrical appliances.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Make sure that children and small animals
cannot climb into the appliance’s drum.
Could endanger life! Keep the appliance
door shut whenever it is not being used.
•When discarding the appliance, cut the
electrical supply cable and destroy the
plug with the remaining cable. Disable
to door catch in order to prevent young
children from becoming trapped inside
the machine while playing.

8 electrolux environmental tips
Environmental tips
● In the drying cycle the laundry
becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric
softeners are not therefore needed
when washing.
● Filtered condensed water can be
used for Iron Aid programmes.
● The appliance works most
economically in the drying
programmes if you:
- spin the laundry well before drying.
Example: Consumption values –
depending on spin speed – for 6kg
of laundry, dried using the
programme COTTON
CUPBOARD.
– always keep the ventilation holes in
the dryer plinth unobstructed;
– use the loads specified in the
programme overview;
– ensure you have good ventilation in
the room;
– clean micro filter and fine filter after
every drying or Iron Aid programme:

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
removal.
• 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.
Switching machine on / switching light on
