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

Operating Sequence

Before using your tumble dryer for the first time, we
recommend you place a few damp cloths inside the
appliance and dry for approximately 20 minutes.
There may be dust inside a brand new tumble dryer.

1. Load the laundry

Open the door by pressing the relevant button.
Load the items one at a time, shaking them out
loosely and close the door.
Please check the laundry does not get caught between
the door and filter.

2. Select the drying time

Turn the selector dial clockwise to the desired time
(in the high or low temperature section, according to
the fabric).
The mains-on light illuminates and the programme
starts.

3. When drying is completed

The machine stops automatically and the mains-on
light goes out.

Open the door and take out the laundry.

Clean the filter and empty the tank after every
drying programme.
A clean filter ensures correct functioning of the
appliance.

Hints & Tips on Drying

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.

Care Labels you may find on your laundry

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

may be tumble dried

Do not overload the appliance.

Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.

Sheet 700 to 1000 g
Pillowcase 100 to 200 g
Tablecloth 400 to 500 g
Table Napkin 50 to 100 g
Kitchen Towel 70 to 120 g
Linen Hand Towel 100 to 150 g
Hand Towel 150 to 250 g
Bath Towel 700 to 1000 g
Bathrobe 1000 to 1500 g
Shirt 200 to 300 g
Apron 150 to 200 g

■

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

■

DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the
dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove
excess water.

■

Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.

■

Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.

■

Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.

■

Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static.
We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).

■

Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.

■

When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the
following:

■

Articles contaminated with inflammable
substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking
oil, fats or hair lacquer.

■

Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the
item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.

■

Very delicate articles such as silk.

■

Very large and bulky items such as duvets or
sleeping bags.

Maintenance and Cleaning

You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.
From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream
with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.

Cleaning the filter

The tumble dryer cannot operate efficiently with a
clogged filter. The filter collects all the fluff which
forms during drying and it is therefore essential to
remove and clean this filter after each drying
programme before removing the laundry.
Remove the fluff around the filter too.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the air condenser periodically, 3 or 4 times a
year depending on how frequently the dryer is used.
Pull out the condenser, holding it at the top, and
remove all fluff. Clean it with a brush and rinse it
under the shower if necessary.

Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the porthole door and the
seal of the condenser in the inner door with a damp
cloth.

Emptying the water reservoir(tank)

You should not be alarmed by the amount of fluff
which collects on the filter; this is due to normal
wearing of the fabrics dried and not to incorrect
operation of your machine. Rubbing of the fibres
during normal wear and washing forms fluff. If
laundry is dried on a line, this fluff simply flies away,
whereas inside the tumble dryer it collects together
and swells considerably as a result of the drying
action.

Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying
cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine
is next used.
If this is not done a safety device trips: pilot light
FULL TANK on the control panel comes on and the
programme stops, leaving the laundry damp.

The reservoir can be emptied even in the middle of a
programme.

The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.

Important: When emptying the reservoir during the

drying cycle, the machine stops drying, but the
drying time selector dial will continue to step on.

Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).

Positioning

P1044

P0046

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the
dryer 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 in 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 four adjustable
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 build-up which would interfere with
the operation of the appliance.

Important

When operating the tumble dryer, the room
temperature must not exceed 35°C, as it may affect
the performance of the appliance.

Stacking kit

A special stacking kit is available through your
dealer, to enable the mounting of the dryer on top of
your washing machine.
