2.3 Use

WARNING!

Risk of fire, explosion, electric

shock or damage to the appliance

• Use this appliance in a household only.

• Do not change the specification of this

appliance.

• The final part of the drying cycle occurs

without heat (cool down cycle) to en-

sure that the items will not be dam-

aged.

If you stop the appliance before the end

of the drying cycle, immediately remove

and spread out all items, so that the

heat can dissipate.

• If you use fabric softener or similar

products, obey the instructions on the

packaging.

• Do not run the appliance without a filter.

Clean the lint filter before or after each

use.

• Wipe away lint that has accumulated

around the appliance.

• Do not dry the damaged items which

contain padding or fillings.

• Do not dry items such as foam rubber

(latex foam), shower caps, waterproof

textiles, rubber backed articles and

clothes or pillows fitted with foam rub-

ber pads..

• Before drying items that have been in

contact with substances such as cook-

ing oil, acetone, alcohol , petrol, kero-

sene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes

and wax removers, wash them in hot

water with an extra amount of deter-

gent.

• Do not dry items in the appliance if in-

dustrial chemicals have been used for

cleaning.

• Make sure that no gas lighters or

matches have been left in the pockets

of the clothing.

• Only dry fabrics which are applicable to

dry in the tumble dryer. Follow the in-

structions on the fabric label.

• Do not dry not washed items in the ap-

pliance.

• If you have washed your laundry with a

stain remover start an extra rinse cycle

before you start the dryer.

• Do not drink or prepare food with the

condensed water. It can cause health

problems to people and pets.

• Do not sit or stand on the open door.

• Obey the maximum load volume of 8 kg

(refer to the “Programme chart” chap-

ter).

• Do not dry dripping wet clothes in the

tumble dryer.

• Oil-affected items can ignite spontane-

ously, especially when exposed to heat

sources such as in a tumble dryer. The

items become warm, causing an oxida-

tion reaction in the oil. Oxidation cre-

ates 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 create a fire hazard.

• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that con-

tain vegetable or cooking oil or have

4www.electrolux.com

been contaminated by hair care prod-

ucts 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.
