– Mixtures and synthetics for programmes in SYNTHETICS (Mischgewebe) pro-

gramme group.

• Sorting by care label. The care labels mean:

Drying in the tum­ble dryer possible

in principle

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 (Wolle) 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.

Special notes about Pro Steam

Dry at normal

temperature

Dry at reduced

temperature
(chooseDELI-
CATE option!)

Drying in the tum­ble dryer not pos-

sible

• The following textiles cannot be treated using a Pro Steam programme:
leather, textiles with large metal, wooden or plastic parts, textiles with
rusting metal parts, oilskins or wax cotton garments.

16 electrolux

• To smooth or freshen laundry with a Pro Steam 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 in combination with Pro Steam programmes.

Preparing laundry

• 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.

Water recirculation system

This system allows you to use for a Pro Steam cycle automatically the condensed
water collected in the condense water tank during a drying cycle.

The water in the condense water tank will never automatically fill the steam
water tank.
The water recirculation system works only if it is supplied by water arising
during standard drying cycles.

To activate this system turn the valve in ON position. When the valve is ON the steam
water tank will be filled during the next drying cycle. Water will be supplied by the
water circuit directly to the steam water tank filling it automatically.

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% synthetic but with the right fittings may
behave more like cotton textiles in a Pro Steam programme. You may
therefore get better smoothing results by selecting a cotton Pro Steam
programme.

electrolux 23

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 Pro Steam 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 Pro Steam 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 Pro Steam 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 programmes are gentle
Pro Steam programmes for non-washable textiles. Any distortion to the
shape of a garment which might occur in few cases, can be remedied by
ironing.

Selecting the programme

Use the programme selector to set the programme you require. The estimated pro­gramme duration (in hours and minutes) appears in the multi-display as well as cycle
finish time.

Select STEAM LEVEL (Dampfmenge)

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

All Pro Steam programmes, apart from the REFRESH programmes, automatically
recognize 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 STEAM LEVEL (Dampfmenge).
Press the STEAM LEVEL (Dampfmenge) button repeatedly until the desired steam
level (MIN, MED or MAX) is shown in the display.

26 electrolux

If the STEAM LEVEL (Dampfmenge) button is not pressed after a Pro Steam pro­gramme is selected, the medium steam level (MED) is selected automatically. If you
select a REFRESH programme, MIN is selected automatically.

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 steam level is selected, garments may lose their
shape. If too low steam level is selected, creases may remain.

The maximum value depends by selected program, the minimum is always 800 rpm
For those programs where the spin speed has no effect (time controlled cycles), the
selection is not allowed and three dashes “- - -” are displayed that has the meaning
of not set or unknown.
The user interface always remembers last spin selection, and proposes it as default
for all new selected programs. If memorized spin speed is greater than maximum
allowed value it will be automatically reduced to max spin speed available for the
selected program.

Selecting the programme

Use the programme selector to set the programme you require. The estimated pro­gramme duration (in hours and minutes) appears in the multi-display as well as cycle
finish time.

Setting DRYNESS LEVEL

If laundry comes out of the machine too damp after a standard drying programme,
you can increase the drying result by using the DRYNESS LEVEL (Dampfmenge)
function. Laundry becomes drier as you move from MIN to MAX.
Press the DRYNESS LEVEL (Dampfmenge) button repeatedly until the desired
dryness level (MIN, MED or MAX) is shown in the display. When humidity adjust­ment is not foreseen on the related program, message Not Selectable is shown.
If wool or silk comes out of the machine too damp at the end of a WOOL (Wolle) or
SILK (Seide) programme, you can dry it again by restarting the appropriate pro­gramme, this time with the DRYNESS LEVEL (Dampfmenge) function selected and
dryness level MIN, MED or MAX. In the case of a drying cycle with relatively dry
laundry, the end of the programme cycle displayed at the beginning is corrected
after a while.

Make sure that by selecting the DRYNESS LEVEL (Dampfmenge) function,
you do not over-dry your wool or silk.

you want to set a new programme, you must first deactivate the child lock.

SPIN SPEED

If the washing in the washing machine was initially drained prior to the drying cycle,
the dryer can be set according to the spin speed of the initial drainage procedure.

36 electrolux

The higher the spin speed was, the shorter the programme length for the drying
cycle.
Activate the SPIN SPEED option and then number of times press OPTION button
until the desired spin speed of the initial drainage is displayed. No value is shown if
no spin speed is selected.
In certain programmes the spin speed has not effect (time controlled cycles), its
selection can be not selectable and only three dashes are visualized. Available se­lections: from 800 to 1800 rpm's in 100 rpm's intervals.
The maximum value depends by selected program, the minimum is always 800 rpm
For those programs where the spin speed has no effect (time controlled cycles), the
selection is not allowed and three dashes “- - -” are displayed that has the meaning
of not set or unknown.
The user interface always remembers last spin selection, and proposes it as default
for all new selected programs. If memorized spin speed is greater than maximum
allowed value it will be automatically reduced to max spin speed available for the
selected program.

Installation

The appliance must be moved in vertical position for transport.

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.

• To keep vibration and noise to a minimum when the dryer is in use, it should be

placed on a firm, level surface.

• Once in its permanent operating position, check that the dryer is absolutely level

with the aid of a spirit level. If it is not, raise or lower the feet until it is.

• The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through

deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat built-up which

would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

56 electrolux installation

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.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore

needed when washing.

• Filtered condensed water can be used for Pro Steam programmes.

• 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 programme overview;

– ensure you have good ventilation in the installation room;

– clean micro filter and fine filter after every drying or Pro Steam programme;

– spin the laundry well before drying. Example: Consumption data – depending

on spinning speed – for 7kg of laundry, dried using the COTTONS CUPBOARD
DRY programme.
