Environment

The symbol on the product or on its

packaging indicates that this product may

not be treated as household waste. Instead

it should be taken to the appropriate

collection point for the recycling of electrical

and electronic equipment. By ensuring this

product is disposed of correctly, you will help

prevent potential negative consequences for

the environment and human health, which

could otherwise be caused by inappropriate

waste handling of this product. For more

detailed information about recycling of this

product, please contact your local council,

your household waste disposal service or the

shop where you purchased the product.

Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and

soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore

needed when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economically

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 strain-

er 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.

Environmental information

The packaging materials are environmentally

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.

Important! The heat pump of your dryer

contains a closed refrigerant circuit filled with

a refrigerant which is free from fluoro-chloro-

hydrocarbons. The refrigerant circuit in the

heat pump must not be damaged.

Warning! When a unit is no longer being

used:

• Pull the plug out of the socket.

• Cut off the cable and plug and dispose

of them.

• Dispose of the door catch. This pre-

vents children from trapping them-

selves inside and endangering their

lives.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning fluff filter

The filters collect all the fluff which accumu-

lates during drying. To ensure that the dryer

works perfectly, the fluff filters (micro-fine fil-

ter and fine strainer) must be cleaned after

every drying cycle.

The warning icon

is on to remind you of

this operation.

Caution! Never operate the dryer

without fluff filters or with damaged or

blocked fluff filters.

Open loading door

2. Use a damp hand to clean the micro- fine

filter, which is built into the lower part of

the loading aperture.

After a period of time, a 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 from the door pulling it

out. It can be positioned with the tooth

facing to the left or to the right).

After cleaning do not forget to put it

back.

Push down unlock button on large mesh

filter.

Large mesh filter jumps up.

Take out fine strainer.

6. Remove fluff from fine strainer. It is best

to use a damp hand for this purpose.

Clean the entire filter area

The strainer area does not have to be

cleaned after every drying cycle, but

12 electrolux

should be checked regularly and

cleaned of fluff if necessary.

To do this, grip the top of the large mesh

filter and pull it forwards until it comes

loose from the two brackets.

8. Remove fluff from the entire filter area. It

is best to use a vacuum cleaner for this

purpose.

9. Press both journals of the large mesh fil-

ter into the brackets on the loading door

until they snap into place.

10. Re-insert fine strainer.

11.

Press against the large mesh filter until it

locks into the interlock.

If the fine strainer is not fitted, the large

mesh filter will not snap into place and

the loading door cannot be closed.

Cleaning the door seal

Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth imme-

diately after the drying cycle has finished.

Emptying the water reservoir

Empty the water reservoir after every drying

cycle.

If the water reservoir is full, an active pro-

gramme will break off automatically and the

empty container

icon on the display will

light up. In order to continue the programme,

the water reservoir must first be emptied.

Warning! The condensed water is not

suitable for drinking or for preparing

foodstuffs.

Take out water reservoir completely.

Pour condensed water out into a basin or

similar receptacle.

3. Refit water reservoir.

If the programme has been interrupted as

a result of the water reservoir being full:

Press the START PAUSE button to con-

tinue the drying cycle.

The water reservoir has a volume of ap-

prox. 4.5 litres. This is sufficient for

around 8 kg of laundry which has previ-

ously been spun at 1000 revolutions/

minute.

The condensed water can be used as

distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing.

However first filter the condensed water

(e.g. with a coffee filter) to remove any

residue and small pieces of fluff.

electrolux 13

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the heat exchanger

icon is displayed, the

heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.

Caution! Operating when the heat

exchanger is blocked with fluff can

damage the dryer. This also increases

energy consumption.

1. Open door.

Open door in plinth. To do this, press the

release button on the bottom of the door

aperture and open the door in the plinth

to the left.

3. Clean fluff from the inside of the door and

the heat exchanger front chamber. Wipe

the door seal with a damp cloth.

Turn both lock washers inwards.

Use the handle to pull the heat exchanger

out of the base and carry it horizontally to

prevent any remaining water from spilling.

6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold verti-

cally over a washing-up bowl.

Caution! Do not use sharp objects to

clean. The heat exchanger could

develop leaks.

7. Clean heat exchanger.

It is best to use a brush or to rinse thor-

oughly with a hand-held shower.

8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into

place (turn both lock washers outwards

until they snap into place).

9. Close door in plinth.

Caution! Never operate the dryer

without the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the drum

Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel

wool to clean the drum.

Lime in the water or cleaning agents may

form a barely visible lining on the inside

of the drum. The degree to which the

laundry has been dried is then no longer

detected reliably. The laundry is damper

than expected when removed from the

dryer.

Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g.

vinegar-based cleaner) to wipe down the

inside of the drum and drum ribs.

Clean operating screen and housing

Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners

or aggressive cleaning agents to clean

the machine.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the op-

erating screen and housing.

1) only for dryers with DRYNESS function available

Changing the bulb for interior lighting

Only use a special bulb which is designed

specially for dryers. The special bulb can be

obtained from your local service centre.

Important! When the appliance is switched

on, the interior lighting switches itself off after

4 minutes when the door is open.

Warning! Do not use standard bulbs!

These develop too much heat and may

damage the machine!

Before replacing the bulb, disconnect

the mains plug; with a permanent con-

nection: fully unscrew or deactivate the

fuse.

1. Unscrew cover above the bulb (this can

be found directly behind the loading aper-

ture, at the top; refer to “Description of

machine” section.)

2. Replace defective bulb.

3. Screw cover back down.

Check the correct positioning of o-ring gas-

ket before screwing back the door light cov-

er. Do not operate the dryer when missing o-

ring gasket on door light cover.

Warning! For safety reasons, the cover

must be screwed down tightly. If this is

not done, the dryer must not be

operated.

Water hardness

Water contains, a variable quantity

of limestone and mineral salts of

which quantities vary according to

geographical locations thus vary-

ing its conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the conduc-

tivity of the water compared to

those prefixed by the factory could

slightly influence the residual hu-

midity of the laundry at the end of

the cycle. Your dryer allows you to

regulate the sensitivity of the drying

sensor based on conductivity val-

ues of the water.

1. Turn the programme selector to any programme.

2. Press simultaneously the DELICATE (Schon) (1) and

TIME (Zeitwahl) (5) buttons and hold down for approx. 5

seconds. The current setting is on the display:

–

low conductivity <300 μS/cm

–

medium conductivity 300-600 μS/cm

–

Hints for test institutes

Parameters possible to check by the Test In-

stitutes:

• Energy consumption (corrected with final

humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton

cycle with nominal load.

• Energy consumption (corrected with final

humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton

cycle with half load.

• Final humidity (during cupboard dry cot-

ton, iron dry cotton and cupboard dry easy

care)

• Condensation efficiency (corrected with fi-

nal humidity) during cupboard dry cotton

cycle with nominal and half load

All the cycles have to be checked in accord-

ance with EN 61121 (Tumble dryers for

household use – Methods for measuring the

performance).

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 minimum

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 in-

terfere with the operation of the appliance.

Important!

The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can

reach temperatures of up to 60°C. The ap-

pliance must therefore not be installed on

floors which are not resistant to high temper-

atures.

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 appliance.

Important! Should the appliance be moved,

it must be transported vertically.

Important! The appliance must not be

installed behind the lockable door, a sliding

door a door with a hinge on the opposite side

to that of the appliance.
