1 Important Safety Information
The safety of Electrolux electrical appliances com-
plies with the established technical principles and
statutory equipment safety regulations. Nevertheless,
as manufacturer we have to draw your attention to the
following safety instructions.
General safety
• Repairs of the dryer may be carried out only by
trained personnel. Incompetently carried out
repairs can entail considerable hazards for the
user. Please get in touch with our customer serv-
ice or with an authorised Electrolux dealer when
repair is necessary.
• Before commencing operation please make sure
that the nominal voltage and type of supply speci-
fied on the type plate of the appliance correspond
to the actual nominal voltage and supply type at
the place of utilisation. The fuse rating is also
specified on the type plate.
• Never operate the dryer when the mains cable is
damaged or when the operator control mask, work
plate or base shrouding are damaged such that
there is direct access to the interior of the appli-
ance.
• Switch-off the dryer before carrying out any clean-
ing, care and maintenance tasks! You are quite
safe if you disconnect the mains plug from the
power outlet or – if the electrical connection is per-
manent – if you switch-off the circuit breaker in the
fusebox or screw the fuse cartridge right out of its
holder.
• Never pull on the cable to disconnect the mains
plug from the power outlet. Always grasp and pull-
out the plug.
• Don’t lean on the opened door; this could make
the appliance fall over.
• Don’t use a water jet to spray-down the appliance.
Danger of electric shock!
• The covering hood for the filament lamp bulb for
drum illumination must be screwed-on.
• When closing the door, please check that the
washing is not caught in it.
• If you interrupt the drying process to take out laun-
dry, bear in mind that the laundry and the drum
could be hot.
• Adaptors and extension cables must not be used.
There is risk of fire because of overheating!
Safety of children
• Children are often not aware of the dangers
involved when handling electrical equipment.
Therefore provide the necessary supervision of
children when operating the appliance and do not
let children play with the dryer – there is a danger
that children could become trapped inside the
appliance.
• Packaging parts (e.g. films, styropore) can be
dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation!
Keep packaging parts out of reach of children.
• Make sure that children or small animals do not
climb into the drum of the dryer. For this purpose
keep the door of the dryer closed when the appli-
ance is not in use.
Utilisation in accordance with the
intended purpose
• Conversions or modifications of the dryer are for-
bidden for safety reasons.
• Use the dryer only to dry ordinary household laun-
dry! The manufacturer accepts no liability for any
damage resulting from incorrect operation or utili-
sation for an unintended purpose.
• Dry only laundry which has been washed in water.
In particular, textiles which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents and solvents (petrol-
ether, alcohol, stain remover and similar materi-
als) must not be dried in the dryer. Danger of fire!
Explosion hazard!
• Laundry items containing sponge rubber or rub-
ber-like materials must not be dried in the dryer.
Danger of fire!
• Washing that is in poor condition (heavily worn)
and items with loose fillings (cushions) that could
break open must not be dried or refreshed. There
is a risk of fire!
• Washing with rigid components (foot mats) will
cover the air slots; the slots will also be covered if
the drum is overfilled. Observe the maximum load
of 5 kg. There is a risk of overheating which could
cause a fire!
• Only dry washing that does not contain any explo-
sive objects (fire lighters, spray cans). There is a
risk of fire or an explosion!
• Clean the fluff filter after each drying procedure.
• Clean the condenser regularly.
• In the case of washer / dryer tower combinations,
do not place any objects on the dryer during use
as they could drop down.
5
Installation and connection
• Check the dryer for Transportation damage. Never
connect-up a damaged appliance! Contact your
supplier if the appliance is damaged.
• If the tumble dryer has to be carried, first remove
the plinth!
• Do not set-up the dryer in frost-endangered
rooms!
• Set-up the dryer horizontal!
• If the dryer is placed adjacent to a gas, coal or
electric cooking stove, interpose a thermally insu-
lating non-combustible plate between the dryer
and the stove (dimensions: 85x57,5cm).
• Do not place the dryer on high-pile carpet floors!
This would hinder air circulation at the ventilation
slots!
• The electric power plug connector of the appli-
ance must remain accessible even after installa-
tion.
• Check that the tumble dryer is not standing on the
mains cable.
• The technical conditions of the electric power sup-
ply company for making fixed connections of elec-
trical appliances to the mains require that such
connections may only be made by an authorised
electrician.
3 General Information
• Starched washing leaves traces of starch on the
drum and therefore should not be placed in the
tumble dryer.
• If you exceed the maximum load stipulated in the
program table your washing is more likely to get
creased! For very delicate fabrics you should only
fill in 1.5kg washing at the most.
• For your information: 70 per cent of fabric wear is
caused by being worn, 20 per cent by washing
and only 10 per cent by being dried in a tumble
dryer. As the fabric is worn down, fluff gathers in
the fluff filter. When using a tumble dryer, only
approx. 0.03g fluff per kilogramme washing is pro-
duced.
2 Disposal
Packaging
Dispose of the packaging material!
Dispose of the packaging material of your tumble
dryer correctly. All the packaging materials used are
harmless to the environment and can be recycled.
• Plastic parts are marked with standard interna-
tional abbreviations:
– >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping
material
– >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding mate-
rial (always CFC-free)
– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic
clips
Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled
paper and should be deposited in the waste paper
collection for recycling.
Disposal of the old appliance!
When you eventually stop using your tumble dryer
please bring it to the nearest recycling centre or to
your dealer who will take it back for a small fee.
1
Warning! When disposing of the tumble
dryer, pull out the plug, cut off the flex, dis-
pose of the plug and remaining flex and
destroy the door lock. This hinders children
from locking themselves in and endangering
their lives.
The materials can be recycled in accordance with
their markings. Standard tools (crosshead screw-
driver, hammer) are sufficient to dismantle the old
appliance.

2 Environmental protection tips
• Your laundry will become light and soft in the tum-
ble dryer even without a fabric softening agent.
• Loosen your laundry before loading it into the
dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times
and creasing. Ensure your laundry is well spun.
• Remove as much water as possible from the
washing before drying!
This is based on the principle: the better you spin the
washing before drying the more economical the dryer
is.
In the following table we give an overview of specific
electric consumption data depending on the spinning
speed. This information is valid for 5kg laundry dried
with the program COTTONS CUPBOARD DRY
(BAUMWOLLE SCHRANKTROCKEN):
• Never obstruct the ventilation slits at the base of
the dryer!
• Ensure that the room is well ventilated!
• Observe the maximum load instructions. When-
ever possible, dry full loads.
• Select the appropriate drying program for the type
and quantity of laundry. The dryer will then oper-
ate as economically as possible. Some typical
consumption values:
If the amount of laundry is not enough for a particular
degree of drying (e.g. HAND IRON; BÜGELTRO-
CKEN), you should dry it in stages for best economy:
Fill the dryer and select the program HAND IRON
(BÜGELTROCKEN); after the end of this program
take out your laundry for ironing. Finally dry the
remaining laundry with the program CUPBOARD
DRY (SCHRANKTROCKEN).
• Only use the SPECIAL CARE (SCHON) button for
loads up to 2.5kg.
• Clean the fluff filter after every drying program!
• Empty the water reservoir after every drying proc-
ess!
You can use the collected condensed water as dis-
tilled water in the household, but first pour it through a
paper filter bag.
1
Caution! The condensed water is not suita-
ble for drinking or for use with foodstuffs.
• Clean the condenser regularly!
The dryer will operate more economical ly if you
clean the condenser regularly.

acrylic or viscose) and textiles with the care label
S with the SPECIAL CARE (SCHON) button
selected.
• Cotton jersey and hosiery have a tendency to
shrink! Do not dry these fabrics excessively.
• New coloured textiles
To avoid the possibility of dye transference do not
dry new coloured textiles together with light-col-
oured laundry.
To freshen up the wool fibres of woollen garments after they have been line dried, worn or stored for longer peri-
ods they can be treated briefly using warm air. The wool emerges beautifully soft.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the condenser
1
Important! When the CONDENSER (WÄR-
METAUSCHER) display lights, it is essential
to clean the condenser. Otherwise your dryer
might suffer damage. In addition energy con-
sumption will be increased if the condenser
unit is covered with fluff.
For information on cleaning the condenser see sec-
tion "Cleaning and maintenance, cleaning the con-
denser".
Cleaning the filter area
1
Important! A small amount of fluff may
reach the area around the filter in spite of the
fluff filter. Therefore you should clean the
entire filter area from time to time, or at least
every three months.
1. Remove the fluff filter.
2. Hold the filter lid by the top and pull it forwards
until it is released from both holders.
3. Remove the fluff from the entire filter area – pref-
erably with a vacuum cleaner.
4. Press both pins of the filter lid into the holders on
the door until they click in.
5. Reinsert the fluff filter.
6. Press against the filter lid until it clicks into the
lock.
Cleaning the drum
1
Warning! Do not clean the stainless steel
drum with abrasive detergents or steel wool!
Fabric softeners or lime in the water can cause
a scarcely visible deposit to form on the drum.
The dryer is then no longer reliably able to
recognise how dry the washing is. When the
washing is removed from the dryer it will be
damper than you expect.
1. Wipe the inside of the drum and the drum fins with
white vinegar to avoid a build up of residues/
deposits effecting the sensors. This is particularly
important if you regulary use fabric conditioning
sheets or dry starched items in the dryer.
Cleaning the panel and operating parts
1
Warning! Do not use household furniture
polish or aggressive detergents.
1. Wipe over the panel and operating parts with a
damp cloth.
Only use warm water.
Cleaning the door seal
1. Rub the door seal with a damp cloth immediately
after the drying procedure.
