IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Important! In the interest of your safety

and to ensure the correct use, before

installing and first using the appliance,

read this user manual carefully,

including its hints and warnings. To

avoid unnecessary mistakes and

accidents, it is important to ensure that

all people using the appliance are

thoroughly familiar with its operation

and safety features. Save these

instructions and make sure that they

remain with the appliance if it is moved

or sold, so that everyone using it

through its life will be properly

informed on appliance use and safety.

- Please read the instruction book

before using this appliance.

General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications

or attempt to modify this product in any

way.

• This appliance is not intended for use by

persons (including children) with reduced

physical and sensory conditions or lack

of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or in-

struction concerning use of the appliance

by a person responsible for their safety.

• Make sure that small children and pets

do not climb inside the drum. To avoid

this, please check into the drum before

using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins,

nails, screws, stones or any other hard,

sharp material can cause extensive dam-

age and must not be placed into the ma-

chine.

• In order to avoid danger of fires caused

by excessive drying, do not use appli-

ance to dry the following items: Cush-

ions, quilts etc. (these items accumulate

heat).

• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam),

shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber

backed articles and clothes or pillows fit-

ted with foam rubber pads should not be

dried in the tumble dryer.

• Always unplug the appliance after use,

cleaning and maintenance.

• Under no circumstances should you at-

tempt to repair the machine yourself. Re-

pairs carried out by inexperienced per-

sons may cause injury or serious mal-

functioning. Contact your local Service

Centre. Always insist on genuine spare

parts.

• Items that have been soiled with sub-

stances such as cooking oil acetone,

petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpen-

tine, waxes and wax removers should be

washed in hot water with an extra

amount of detergent before being dried in

the tumble dryer.

•Danger of explosion: Never tumble dry

items that have been in contact with in-

flammable solvents (petrol, methylated

spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). As

these substances are volatile, they could

cause an explosion. Only tumble dry

items washed with water.

•Risk of fire: items that have been spot-

ted or soaked with vegetable or cooking

oil constitute a fire hazard and should not

be placed in the tumble dryer.

2 electrolux

• If you have washed your laundry with

stain remover you must execute an extra

rinse cycle before loading your tumble

dryer.

• Please make sure that no gas lighters or

matches have accidentally been left in

pockets of garments incase they are loa-

ded into appliance

Warning!

•Risk of fire! Never stop a tumble

dry before the end of the drying

cycle unless all items are quickly

removed and spread out so that

the heat is dissipated.

•Lint must not be allowed to accu-

mulate around the tumble dryer.

•Risk of electric shock! Do not spray

down the appliance with jets of water.

• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle oc-

curs without heat ( cool down cycle ) to

ensure that the items are left at a temper-

ature that ensures that items will not be

damaged.

• The tumble dryer is not to be used if in-

dustrial chemicals have been used for

cleaning.

• Ensure you have good ventilation in the

installation room to avoid the back flow of

gases into the room from appliances

burning other fuels, including open fires.

Installation

• This appliance is heavy. Care should be

taken when moving it.

• When unpacking the appliance, check

that it is not damaged. If in doubt, do not

use it and contact the Service Centre.

• All packaging must be removed before

fluids are used, care should be taken to

ensure that the fluid is removed from the

garment before placing in the machine.

• Never pull the power supply cable to re-

move the plug from the socket; always

take hold of the plug itself.

• Never use the tumble dryer if the power

supply cable, the control panel, the work-

ing surface or the base are damaged so

that the inside of the tumble dryer is ac-

cessible.

and electronic equipment. By ensuring this

product is disposed of correctly, you will

help prevent potential negative

consequences for the environment and

Old appliance

Warning!

Remove mains plug from socket when you

have no further use for the machine. Cut off

mains cable and dispose of together with

plug. Destroy loading door hook. Children

cannot then lock themselves in the machine

and put their lives at risk.

Packaging material

ly friendly and can be recycled. The plastic

components are identified by markings, e.g.

>PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the

packaging materials in the appropriate con-

tainer at the community waste disposal fa-

cilities.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and

soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore

needed when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economical-

ly 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 the micro-fine filter and fine

strainer after each drying cycle;

– spin the laundry well before drying.

Energy consumption depends on spin-

ning speed set in washing machine.

Higher spinning speed - lower energy

consumption.

INSTALLATION

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your conven-

ience, 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 mini-

mum 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 deep-

pile carpets, strips of wood or similar.

This might cause heat built-up which

would interfere with the operation of the

appliance.

4 electrolux

Important!

• The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer

can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.

The appliance must therefore not be in-

stalled on floors which are not resistant to

high temperatures.

• When operating the tumble dryer, the

room temperature must not be lower

than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it

may affect the performance of the appli-

ance.

• Should the appliance be moved, it must

be transported vertically.

• The appliance must not be installed be-

hind the lockable door, a sliding door a

door with a hinge on the opposite side to

that of the appliance in such a way that a

full opening of the dryer is restricted.

Removing transport safety packaging

Caution!

Before use all parts of the transport pack-

aging must be removed.

1. Open loading door

2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside ma-

chine on top of drum.

3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene pad-

ding from the machine.

Electrical connection

Details on mains voltage, type of current

and the fuses required should be taken

from the type plate. The type plate is fitted

near the loading aperture (see “Product de-

scription” chapter).

Connect the machine to an earthed

socket, in accordance with current wir-

ing regulations.

Warning! The manufacturer

declines any responsibility for

damage or injury through failure to

comply with the above safety

precautions.

Should the appliance power supply

cable need to be replaced, this

must be carried out by our Service

Center.

Warning! The plug must be

accessible after installing the

machine.
