WARNINGS

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.

nThese warnings have been provided in the

interest of safety. You MUST read them

carefully before installing or using the

appliance.

INSTALLATION

nAny electrical work required to install this

appliance should be carried out by a qualified

electrician or competent person.

nMake sure that the appliance does not stand

on its electrical supply cable.

nIf the machine is situated on a carpeted floor,

please adjust the feet in order to allow air to

circulate freely.

nThis tumble dryer is designed to be vented

through to the open air. It should have its own

ventilation system which should not be joined

with any other ventilation system connected to

any other appliance.

USE

nThis appliance is designed for domestic use

only. Do not use it for commercial, industrial or

any other purposes.

nAlways unplug the appliance after use.

nClothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the

spin speed, the lower the electricity

consumption and the shorter the drying times.

nNever tumble dry items that have been in

contact with chemicals such as dry

cleaning fluid. These are of a volatile

nature and could cause an explosion.

nAlways check that no cigarette lighters have

been left in pockets.

nLeave the porthole door slightly ajar when not

in use to preserve the door seal.

nThe fluff filter must be cleaned after every use.

nDo not operate the appliance with a damaged

filter as this may cause a fire.

nWhen the machine is operating, the door can

reach very high temperatures: keep your

children away from it.

nIf you need to open the door during operation,

do not touch its internal side, as it is very hot.

nDo not overload the appliance.

nDo not allow fluff to accumulate around the

dryer.

SERVICE/REPAIR

nUnder no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried

out by inexperienced persons may cause

injury or serious malfunctioning. Refer to your

local Electrolux Service Centre. Always insist

on genuine Electrolux spare parts.

GENERAL SAFETY

nIt is dangerous to modify or try to modify the

specifications of this appliance in any way.

nThis appliance is designed to be used by

adults. Children should not be allowed to

touch the controls or play with the product.

nPets and small children may climb into tumble

dryers. Check your appliance each time before

use.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

nThe materials used on this appliance marked

with the symbol are recyclable.

This means that they can be recycled by

disposing of them properly in appropriate

collection containers.

nIf you take your appliance to a refuse disposal

site, cut off the power cable flush with the

appliance to avoid the danger of the appliance

being re-used, and disable the door catch to

prevent children becoming trapped inside.

Drying times vary according to:

- The type of laundry

- The size of the load

- The degree of spinning prior to drying.

It is often difficult to calculate the weight of the laundry to be dried. For this reason we recommend

that the drum be filled:

ncompletely, but without compressing the laundry, for cotton, linen and mixed fabrics

nhalf full for synthetics

nno more than one third for very delicate items.

ENGLISH

Drying sequence

Before starting up for the first time it is advisable

lo load a few moist cloths into the dryer and to let

it run for about 30 minutes. This ensures that no

dust and dirt is left in the drum. In order to do

this, switch the machine on by pressing the

ON/OFF button, set the programme selector dial

on “L”, then press the START button.

The programme will start and finish

automatically.

To dry your laundry:

1. Connect the tumble dryer.

2. Load the items one at a time, shaking them

out loosely and close the door.

3. Press the ON/OFF button , the mains-on

light lights up.

4. Select the required drying programme.

5. Press button and/or button if required.

6. Press the START-button : the selected

programme will start and light will

illuminate.

iAll the drying programmes end with a cooling

phase which lasts 10 minutes (the corresponding

light illuminates).

If the laundry is not removed at the end of the

programme, the machine will automatically

perform the anti-crease phase which lasts about

30 minutes.

During this period the buzzer will sound every

10 seconds, unless you have depressed the

button. The lights and flash alternately.

Turn the programme selector dial to “O”, switch

the machine off by depressing ON/OFF button

again and remove the laundry.

If this is not done, at the end of the anti-crease

phase the tumble dryer will automatically stop

functioning, light will flash and the Mains-On

light remains alight.

After each use

nPress the ON/OFF button again to switch the

dryer off. The mains-on light goes out.

nTurn the selector dial to “O”.

nClean the fluff filter (see page 22).

Useful hints

nTry to load to the maximum capacity of the

machine as small loads are uneconomical.

For information, here is a list of the average

weights of some common laundry items.

Sheet 700 - 1000 g

Tablecloth 400 - 500 g

Kitchen towel 70 - 120 g

Table napkin 50 - 100 g

Towelling hand towel 150 - 250 g

Bathrobe 1000 - 1500 g

Man’s shirt 200 - 300 g

Pillowcase 100 - 200 g

Man’s pyjamas 400 - 500 g

Ladies’ nightdress 200 - 250 g

nNever 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.

nAlways follow the instructions on garment

labels.

normal drying (high temperature)

delicate drying (low temperature)

do not tumble dry

nClose 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.

nSort laundry according to type and degree of

drying required.

nDo not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing

and saves energy.

nAvoid drying dark clothes with light coloured

fluffy items such as towels as they could attract

the fluff.

nThe laundry must be thoroughly spun before

tumble drying.

nEasy-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).

nKnitted 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.

nYou 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.

nTo 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.

nRemove the laundry when the dryer has

finished drying.

nIf individual items are still damp after drying,

set a brief drying time of at least 30 minutes

(programme L). This will be necessary

particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars,

pockets, etc.).

ENGLISH

MAINTENANCE

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 spirit, diluents

or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to

remove any fluff.

Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying.

P0328

Cleaning the filter

Your dryer will only function well if the filter is

clean.

The filter collects all the «fluff» which

accumulates during drying and it must therefore

be cleaned at the end of each programme,

before removing the laundry, with a damp

cloth.

The filter cannot be removed.

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.

P0767

SOMETHING NOT WORKING?

Problems which you can resolve yourself:

If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call

your local Electrolux Service Centre.

Please make sure you give the model and serial
