1.2 General Safety
•Do not change the specification of this appliance.
•The appliance can be installed as freestanding or
below a kitchen counter with correct space (refer to
the Installation leaflet).
•Do not install the appliance behind a lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite
side, that would prevent the appliance door from being
fully open.
•The ventilation opening in the base must not be
covered by a carpet, mat, or any floor covering.
•WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied
through an external switching device, such as a timer,
or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on
and off by a utility.
•Connect the mains plug to the mains socket only at
the end of the installation process. Make sure that the
mains plug is accessible after installation.
•Ensure good air ventilation in the room where the
appliance is installed to avoid the backflow of
unwanted gases into the room from appliances
burning gas or other fuels, including open fires.
•WARNING: Do not install the appliance in an
environment with no air exchange.
www.electrolux.com4

The appliance contains flammable gas, propane
(R290), a gas with a high level of environmental
compatibility. Keep fire and ignition sources away from
the appliance. Be careful not to cause damage to the
refrigerant circuit containing propane.
•WARNING: In the appliance enclosure or in the built -
in structure, keep ventilation opening clear of
obstruction.
•WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•If the mains power supply cable is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its Authorised
Service Centre or similarly qualified persons to avoid
an electrical hazard.
•Do not exceed the maximum load of 9 kg (refer to the
"Programme chart" chapter).
•Do not use the appliance if items have been soiled
with industrial chemicals.
•Wipe away lint or packaging debris that has
accumulated around the appliance.
•Do not run the appliance without a filter. Clean the lint
filter before or after each use.
•Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
•Items that have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot
removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers
should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of
detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
•Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes
or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.
•Fabric softeners, or similar products, should only be
used as specified by the product manufacturer’s
instructions.
•Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially
when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble
dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation
reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
ENGLISH 5

cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items
can prevent heat from escaping and create a fire
hazard.
•If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable
or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first
be washed in hot water with extra detergent -this will
reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
•Remove all objects from items that could be a source
of fire ignition such as lighters or matches.
•WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end
of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly
removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
•Before any maintenance operation, deactivate the
appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the
socket.

At the beginning of the
drying cycle (first 3-5 min)
there could be a slightly

12. HINTS AND TIPS
12.1 Preparing the laundry
Very often the clothes after
washing cycle are kneaded
and tangled altogether.
Drying kneaded and tangled
clothes is inefficient.
To assure proper air flow
and even drying it is
recommended to shake and
load one by one the clothes
to the tumble dryer.
To assure proper drying process:
• Close the zips.
• Close the fasteners of duvet covers.
• Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g.
apron ribbons). Tie them before you
start a program.
• Remove all items from pockets.
• Turn items with the internal layer
made of cotton inside out. Cotton
layer must be faced outwards.
• Always set the program suitable for
the type of laundry.
• Do not put light and dark colours
together.
• Use suitable program for cottons,
jersey and knitwear to reduce
shrinkage.
• Do not exceed the maximum load
stated in the programs chapter or
shown on the display.
• Dry only the laundry that is suitable
for tumble drying. Refer to the fabric
label on the items.
• Do not dry large and small items
together. Small items can be trapped
inside the large items and remain wet.
• Shake the large clothes, fabrics
before placing in the tumble dryer. It is
to avoid moist places inside the fabric
after the drying cycle.
