12 electrolux drying hints

Drying hints

Before loading the laundry

Never tumble dry the following:
Particularly delicate items such as
net curtains, woollen, silk, fabrics
with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky
materials such as anoraks, blankets,
eiderdowns, sleeping bags, feather
quilts and any items containing rub­ber foam or materials similar to rub­ber foam.

• Always follow the instructions on gar­ment labels:

may be tumble dried

normal drying (high tempera-

ture)

delicate drying (low tempera-

ture)

do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with
fasteners to prevent small laundry
items getting tangled inside them.
Close press studs, zips and hooks
and tie belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and
degree of drying required.

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

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured fluffy items such as towels
as they could attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun
before tumble drying.

•

Easy-care items

, too, e.g. shirts,

should be briefly pre-spun before

drying (depending on crease resist­ance approx. 30 seconds or using
the special brief spin programme of
your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear)
may shrink a little during drying.
Please do not overdry items of this
type. It is advisable to allow for
shrinkage when choosing the size of
new purchases.

• You can also put starched items into
your dryer. However, to achieve the
desired starched effect, choose the
programme “iron dry”. To remove any
starch residues, wipe out the internal
drum after drying with a moist cloth
and then rub it dry.

• To avoid a static charge when drying
is completed, use either a fabric sof­tener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner specif­ically for tumble dryers.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer
has finished drying.

• If individual items are still damp after
drying, set a brief post-drying time,
but

at least 30 minutes

. This will be
necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.).

Make sure that no metal objects are
left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety
pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.

To avoid laundry becoming tangled:
close zips, button up duvet covers and
tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).

Turn items with double-layered fabrics
inside out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks,
the cotton layer should be outermost).
These fabrics will then dry better.

Programme information

Objective Implementation

Adjusting
the level of
conductivity

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which
quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its
conductivity values. Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water
compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the
residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle. Your dryer allows
you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity
values of the water by using the following procedure.

To access adjustment mode:

1. Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the appliance.

2. In selection mode,press simultaneously the buttons DRYNESS
and START.

Press the buttons down until the pilot lights above each ones begin
to flash and one of the pilot lights indicating the drying phase lights
Empty Tank, Filter and Condenser remains it.

Adjusting the level of conductivity

:

Press the START/PAUSE button sequentially: the level of
conductivity is indicated by the phase pilot lights, which light in
various combinations as follows:

LED lit Conductivity Approximate value µS/cm

Empty Tank

Low < 300

Filter

Medium 300-600

Condenser

High >600

Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level; however,
certain models may be configured differently.

Memorizing the new setting:

Simultaneously press the buttons DRYNESS and START. Press the
buttons down until the pilot lights above each ones stop flashing
and the buzzer sounds.

Off =
Cancelling/
OFF

To reset a programme and to switch off the machine turn the
selector dial to Off. Now can a new programme be selected.

care and cleaning electrolux 17

Care 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.

Important:

do not use methylated

spi`rit, diluents or similar products..

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of
the door to remove any fluff from the
seals around the filter. Accurate clean­ing ensures correct drying.

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the fil­ters are clean.

The filters collect all the fluff which
accumulates during drying and they
must therefore be cleaned

at the end

of each programme

, before removing
the laundry, with a damp cloth.
The light Filter is on to remind you this
operation.

The filter in the inner door must be
removed for cleaning.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It
is not due to excessive wear caused by the
dryer.

All fabric loses fluff when drying but it
goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble
dryer it simply collects in the filter.

After a while, a withish patina due to
detergent residue on laundry forms on
the filters. When this occurs, clean the
filters with warm water using a brush.
Remove the filter in the door opening
as per picture (it can be positioned with
the tooth facing to the left or to the
right).

GB

125987350.qxp 2007-01-09 15:02 Page 17

18 electrolux care and cleaning

Do not use the appliance without filters.

Cleaning the condenser unit

Clean the condenser when light
Condenser comes on.
The condenser is situated at the lower
part of the cabinet behind a small door.
To open the door, push the catch as
per picture.
During the drying cycle or at the end, it
is normal for water to be present on
the surface of the condenser insertion.

To pull out the condenser, first turn the
two red stops downwards and then
remove the condenser unit holding it at
the handle.

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 condenser cabi­net and in the inner part of the small
door with a damp cloth..

Important!

Do not use pointed
objects or utensils to clean the spaces
between the plates, as this could dam­age the condenser and make it perme­able. Re-fit the condenser, turn the red
stops upwards and close the door.

Do
not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.

Emptying the water reservoir

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. The pilot light
Empty Tank reminds you this opera­tion.

125987350.qxp 2007-01-09 15:02 Page 18

care and cleaning electrolux 19

GB

Proceed as follows:

• Open the small door at the lower part
of the cabinet

• Turn the yellow stop upwards

• Pull out the reservoir

• Open the small cover and let water
flow down

• Close the small cover and re-insert
correctly the reservoir

• Push it until it clicks and turn the yel­low stop downwards to lock firmly it

• Close the small door and press the
START/PAUSE button again to allow
the programme to continue.

The reservoir must be re-inserted cor­rectly. If this is not done the pilot light
Empty Tank comes on during next dry­ing and the programme stops, leaving
the laundry damp. The buzzer will
sound for 1 minute.

After emptying and inserting the reser­voir the START-button has to be
depressed again to allow the pro­gramme to continue.

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)).

Cleaning the air intake grille
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the

fluff from the air intake grille at the back
of the appliance.

Cleaning the drum

When your laundry does not reach the
desired degree of dryness, in other
words, when it turns out either too dry
or too damp, we advise you to clean
the inside of the drum with a cloth
soaked with vinegar.

This will eliminate the slight patina that
has formed in the drum (due to
residues of detergent and softeners
used in the washing, and to the lime
contained in the water), which prevents
the probes from detecting the correct
degree of dryness.

the machineas small loads are
uneconomical.

• Always load well spun laundry. The
higher the spinspeed, the lower the
electricity consumption andthe shorter
the drying times.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids
creasing andsaves energy.

Select the drying programme
according to thetype of laundry and
the required degree of dryness.

• To utilize the maximum load, laundry
which is tobe dried ready to put away
(store dry) can be driedtogether with
items to be ironed. To do this,
selectthe programme for iron-dry,
remove the iron-dryitems at the end of
the programme and thenfinish-dry the
rest of the load.

• Clean the filters regularly to avoid
excessive dryingtimes and high
electricity consumption.

• Ventilate the room well. The room
temperatureshould not exceed +35°C
