Drying cycle complete / removing
laundry
Once the drying cycle is complete, the lights
END and FILTER (light 4) are on. If the buzzer
function is active, an acoustic signal will
sounds intermittently for about one minute.
The drying cycles are automatically fol-
lowed by an anti-crease phase which
lasts around 30 minutes. The drum ro-
tates at intervals during this phase. This
keeps the laundry loose and free of crea-
ses. The laundry can be removed at any
time during the anti-crease phase. (The
laundry should be taken out towards the
end of the anti-crease phase at the latest
to prevent creases from forming.)
1. Open door.
2. Remove laundry.
3. Remove filter after clothes has been re-
moved. Clean the filter.
Warning! Before You place the filter,
please check it there is nothing inside the
filter seat.
4. Turn the programme selector to "O"
(OFF).
Important! Clean the filter after each drying
cycle.
5. Close the door.
Cleaning and maintenance
Warning! The tumble dryer is not to be
used if industrial chemicals have been
used for cleaning!
Cleaning fluff filter

Clean periodically the interior part of the door
to remove any fluff. Accurate cleaning en-
sures correct drying.
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.

Installation
Important! The appliance must be moved in
vertical position for transport.
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 deeply
carpets, strips of wood or similar. This
might cause heat built-up which would in-
terfere with the operation of the appliance.
10 electrolux

Important! The hot air emitted by the tumble
dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60°C.
The appliance must therefore not be installed
on floors which are not resistant to high
temperatures.
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.
Warning! Should the appliance be
moved, it must be transported vertically.
Warning! The appliance must not be
installed behind the lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge on the
opposite side to that of the appliance.
Removing transport safety packaging
Caution! Before use all parts of the
transport packaging must be removed.
1. Open loading door.
2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside ma-
chine on top of drum.
3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene padding
from the machine.
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 provided.
A
electrolux 11

If the hose is long and the room temperature
low, the moisture might condense to water
inside the hose. This is an unavoidable nat-
ural phenomenon. To prevent this water from
Iying in the hose or flowing back into the tum-
ble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole
(via. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and
to place a small container below it. (See pic-
ture, 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 build-
er’s merchant should be able to supply you
with the necessary fittings and installation
advice.
Warning! 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.
A
B
Note that to avoid condensation problems, it
is essential that the dryer be fitted 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 par-
tially squashed, drying efficiency will be re-
duced, resulting in longer drying times and
higher energy consumption. If the hose is
completely squashed, the safety cut-outs
with which the machine is fitted may operate.
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.
Door reversal
To make it easier to load or unload the laun-
dry, the door can be reversed. The door must
only be reversed by an authorised service
engineer. Please contact your local Service
Force Centre. The engineer will carry out the
door reversal at your cost.
Electrical connection
Details on mains voltage, type of current and
the fuses required should be taken from the
type plate. The type plate is fitted near the
loading aperture (see “Product description”
chapter).
Connect the machine to an earthed
socket, in accordance with current wir-
ing regulations.
12 electrolux

any responsibility for damage or
injury through failure to comply with
the above safety precautions.
Should the appliance power supply
cable need to be replaced, this must
be carried out by our Service Center.
Warning! The plug must be
accessible after installing the
machine.
Special accessories
Stacking kit
A special stacking kit is available through
your dealer, to enable the mounting of the
dyer on top of a front loading washing ma-
chine with cover’s depth between 48 and 60
cm. Read carefully the instructions supplied

Environmental tips
• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and
soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore
needed when washing.
electrolux 13

• 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;
– clean the filter after each drying cycle;
– spin the laundry well before drying. Ex-
ample: Consumption data – depending
on spinning speed – for 7 kg of laundry,
dried using the COTTON CUPBOARD
DRY programme.
