Installation

• 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).

• This 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

• Do not overload the appliance (see programme

chart).

• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be

placed in the dryer.

• 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.

•Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked

with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard

and should not be placed in the tumble dryer.

• If you have washed your laundry with stain

remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle

before loading your tumble dryer.

• 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.

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.

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.

• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to

be dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried

together with laundry to be ironed. To do this,

select the programme “iron-dry”, remove the iron-

dry items at the end of the programme and then

finish-dry the rest of the laundry.

• 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.
