Important safety information
Important safety information
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.
• 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
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is used for
any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility for any damage that might occur.
• Always unplug the appliance after use.
• Clothes which are dripping wet should not be placed in the dryer.
•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 substances are volatile, they could cause an explosion.
Tumble dry only items washed with water.
• Please make sure that no gas lighters have accidentally been left in pockets
of garments to be loaded into appliance.
• 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.
• Do not allow fluff to accumulate around the dryer.
General safety
• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in
any way.
• Under no circumstances should you attempt to 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.

Disposal
Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can
be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be danger-
ous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable
and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

Tips for environmental protection
Tips for environmental protection
To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you
follow these hints:
• Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are
uneconomical.
• 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.
Select the drying programme according to the type of laundry and the
required degree of dryness.
• To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is to be dried ready to put away
(store dry) can be dried together with items to be ironed. To do this, select
the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry items at the end of the pro-
gramme and then finish-dry the rest of the load.
• 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

Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned
close to your washing machine.
Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very
moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to
prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an
open window, this may occur naturally.
However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's exhaust outside via the
100 mm diameter flexible hose supplied with the appliance; ending either
temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fit-
ted to an exterior wall or window.
The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build
up.
Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the air-intake lou-
vres provided at
the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).
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
P0046
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 build-up which would interfere
with the operation of the appliance.
Important
When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed
35°C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might
condense to water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phe-
nomenon. To prevent this water from Iying in the hose or flowing back into
the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia.
3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below
it.(See picture, point B).
Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point,
ensuring that the run’s overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no
more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a fixed
wall/window grille, a good local builder’s merchant should be able to supply
you with the necessary fittings and installation advice.

Installation
Fitting the vent hose
To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back,
the others in the left and right-hand side.
Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut
(A) from the vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it
firmly back into place.
The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap covers provid-
ed.

P0055
It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for example, a
cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry the
exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.
Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fit-
ted with the flexible hose to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen
units; preferable outside the kitchen.
In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the
steam exhaust is unobstructed.
Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it
must be ensured an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m3/h.
If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose
is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will
be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy con-
sumption.
If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the
machine is fitted may operate.
