Important Safety Information

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should
you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the
appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance
and the relevant warnings.

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully
before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

■

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken
when moving it.

■

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
attempt to modify this product in any way.

■

Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.

■

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

■

If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,
please adjust the feet in order to allow air to
circulate freely.

■

If the tumble dryer is placed on top of a washing
machine, it is compulsory to use the stacking kit
(optional accessory).

Child Safety

■

This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper
with the controls or play with the product.

■

Pets and children have been known to climb into
tumble dryers. Please check your drum before
use.

Keep all packaging well away for children.

■

Use

■

Do not overload the appliance (see programme

chart).

■

Clothes which are dripping wet should not be
placed in the dryer.

■

As some bulky items such as duvets and
eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial
machines because of their bulk, check with the
manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying
in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of
the item is within the limit advised.

■

Do not dry canvas shoes or sports shoes, as they
could get stuck between the door and the drum,
thus blocking the latter.

■

Please make sure that no gas lighters have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be
loaded into appliance.

■

Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry items
that have been in contact with inflammable
solvents (petrol, methylated spirits, dry cleaning
fluid and the like). As these substance are volatile,
they could cause an explosion. Tumble dry only
items washed with water.

■

In order to avoid danger of fires caused by
excessive drying, do not use appliance to dry the
following items:

■

Cushions, quilts and the like (these items
accumulate heat).

■

Items containing rubber foam or materials similar
to rubber foam.

■

Leave the door slightly ajar when the appliance is
not being used. This will allow the seal to be
preserved.

■

Clean fluff filter after using tumble dryer. To
prevent fire risks, do not use the appliance if the
fluff filter is damaged or without the filter.

■

Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
serious malfunctioning. Contact your local
Electrolux Service Centre. Always insist on
genuine Electrolux spare parts.

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.

Extremely high quality standards both during development and
manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.

Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.

Energy saving tips

To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:

■

Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine
as small loads are uneconomical.

■

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the
spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption
and the shorter the drying times.

■

Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and
saves energy.

■

Clean the filter regularly to avoid excessive
drying times and high electricity consumption.

■

Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.

In the interest
of the environment

■

Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.

■

Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.

■

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.

■

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!

The Control Panel

1 Programme Chart

This will help you to select the correct time for
drying.

2 Full Tank Indicator Light

This light illuminates when the water reservoir is full
or improperly fitted.
The programme will be interrupted.
Attention: The time selector dial continues to turn
towards the “0” position, but the drying cycle is
stopped, that means that the laundry is not dried.
After having emptied the tank, you have to select the
drying programme again for the time required to
complete drying.

After this operation, the dryer can remain inactive for
20 seconds before starting the programme and during
this period the FULL TANK light remains alight.

3 Mains-On Light

This light indicates operating status. It switches off at
the end of the programme.

4 Door Opening Button

Depress this button to open the door.
Should the door be opened while appliance is
working, the tumble dryer will stop functioning but
the time selector dial continues to turn.

5 Time Selector Dial-On/Off

Switch

Turn the dial clockwise (to the right) to select the
time for drying (see Chart page 6). At the same time
the machine is switched on and the programme starts.

This dryer has two drying cycles of up to 120 and 80
minutes, giving a high or low heat temperature
according to the type of fabric.

When selecting the drying time you should remember
that it includes a 12 minute cooling phase (position

on the dial).

This phase should not be shortened, stopped or
avoided, as this could cause skin burns or damage to
the laundry.

ATTENTION! Please follow the instructions on labels when drying mixed fabrics.

Never overfill the drum (do not load large quilts, for example).

Drying times vary according to:

■ The type of laundry

■ The size of the load

■ The degree of spinning prior to drying

■ The degree of drying required

Refresher

This position on the programme selector dial can be used to freshen the laundry (e.g. to remove a persistent
odour of moth-balls).

Load

It is often difficult to estimate the weight of items to be dried. We therefore recommend that you adopt the
following guidelines:

■ cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed

■ synthetics: drum no more than half full
