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
Important: Only operate the Iron Aid programmes with distilled water! Mains water causes damage to the appliance.

•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.

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:

– Mixed fibres and synthetics for pro-
grammes in the SYNTHETICS programme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels
mean:
Sorting and preparing laundry
Important: Do not place in the appliance any wet laundry which is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble-drying.
This appliance can be used for all wet laundry items which are labelled as suitable for tumble-drying.
Do not dry new, coloured textiles together with light-coloured laundry items. Textile colours may bleed.
Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwe­ar with the EXTRA programme. Items may shrink!
Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried using the WOOL pro­gramme. Before the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as well as
possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry woollen textiles together which are similar or the same with respect to material, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry items made of wool separately.

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
Turn the programme knob to any pro­gramme. The machine has been swit­ched on. When the loading door is opened, the drum is illuminated.
Opening loading door / loading laundry
1. Open loading door: Push against the loading door (push
point )
2. Load your laundry (do not force it in/ overload the machine).
Caution! Be careful not to trap laundry in between the loading door and rubber seal.
3. Close loading door securely. Lock must audibly lock.

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, Emptying condensed water container’). If, after an Iron Aid programme is selected, the water tank indicator on the 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).

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’.

Selecting the programme
Use the programme selector to set the programme you require. The estimated programme duration (in minutes) appears in the multidisplay.
Select steam level (LOAD)
To achieve the best results, different steam levels are required for different volumes of laundry. The LOAD button is used to set the required steam level: MIN, MED or MAX.
All Iron Aid programmes, apart from the REFRESH programme, automatically recognise the remaining dampness in clothes. When laundry is wet, a drying cycle is activated first if required. The table shows the steam levels appropriate for the selected load, under LOAD.
1. Press the LOAD button repeatedly
until the desired steam level (MIN, MED or MAX) is shown in the display.
If the LOAD button is not pressed after an Iron Aid programme is selected, the medium steam level (MED) is selected automatically.
If you select the REFRESH programme, MIN is selected automatically.

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, TIME, DELAY and the CHILD LOCK.
BUZZER
The appliance is supplied with the BUZZER function activated. When the drying cycle has finished, an intermittent acoustic signal will sound. Each time a button is pressed or a programme is changed using the programme knob, an audible signal is also set to sound. The button is used to switch the function on or off. When the function is active, the BUZZER symbol appears in the display.

programme
Press the START/PAUSE button. The programme is started. First, the drying phase indicator appears in the display. The display will also show the programme duration for the selected Iron Aid programme, not including the additional drying phase. With wet laundry, after a few minutes the appliance will show the correct programme duration for the Iron Aid programme including the preceding drying programme.
As soon as the right level of dryness is reached, the Iron Aid programme will start automatically. The steam indicator shows the progress of the Iron Aid programme in the display. The individual steam phases are shown by
animated clouds of steam.
Important: During the steam phases that form part of the Iron Aid programme and also the anti-ccrease phase (represented by animated clouds of steam in the display), the loading door cannot be opened. Risk of burns!
If the water tank indicator lights up when you select an Iron Aid programme, the programme cannot be started. You will need to fill the water tank first (see section on ‘Cleaning and maintenance, filling water tank’.)
It is normal for the appliance to make noises during an Iron Aid or drying programme if garments with hard parts, such as metal buttons, are put in the drum.
Changing a programme
To change a programme which has been selected by mistake once the programme has started, first turn the programme selector to O OFF and then reset the programme.
The programme can no longer be changed directly once the programme has started. If you nevertheless attempt to change the programme with the programme knob or an additional function
button (except the BUZZER
button), the START/PAUSE button and
EErrrr will flash in the displ
ay. The drying programme is not however affected by this.

Iron AidTMprogramme 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 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 anti­crease phase. This keeps the laundry loose and free of creases. It can be removed at any point during the anti­crease 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 anti­crease phase and hung immediately on a clothes hanger to dry (for at least 5­15 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
filter
– Drain the condensed water container
(See section “Cleaning and maintenance”.)
5. Close door.

Empty condensed water container after every drying cycle. If the condensed water container is full, an active programme will break off automatically and the TANK 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 button to continue the drying cycle.
Th
e condensed water container has a volume of approx. 4 litres. This is sufficient for around 6 kg of laundry which has previously been spun at 1000 revolutions/minute.

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
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, Emptying condensed water container’). If, after an Iron Aid programme is selected, the water tank indicator on the display lights up, you will need to fill up the water tank with distilled water. Otherwise, you will not be able to start an 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 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).
125986590.qxp 2007-01-29 10:50 Page 31
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.
