pieces of clothing more flexible.
The pieces of clothing after steam
programme are easy to iron.

you to use the sufficient
steam loads.
At the end of cycle, if you will not iron, put
the pieces of clothing on the clothes
hanger.

Before you use the appliance for the first
time do these operations:
• Clean the tumble dryer drum with a
moist cloth.
• Start a short programme (e.g. 30
minutes) with moist laundry.
• Fill up the steam water container
before using a steam programme for
the first time (see chapter on "Care and
cleaning - Fill up the steam water
container”).
At the beginning of drying
cycle (3-5 min.) there could
be a slightly higher sound
level. It is because of start of
the compressor that is
normal for compressor
powered appliances such:
refrigerators, freezers.
10. DAILY USE
10.1 Preparing the laundry
• Close the zippers.
• Close the fasteners of the duvet
covers.
• Do not keep ties or ribbons loose (e.g.
apron ribbons). Tie them before you
start a programme.
• Remove all items from the pockets.
• If an item has the internal layer made of
cotton, turn it inside out. Make sure
that the cotton layer is always external
• We recommend that you set the
correct programme applicable for the
type of fabrics that are in the appliance.
• Do not put fabrics with strong colours
together with fabrics with light colours.
Strong colours can bleed.
• Use an applicable programme for
cotton jersey and knitwear to prevent
the items to shrink.
• Make sure that the laundry weight is
not more than the maximum weight
that is in the programme table.
• Dry only the laundry that is applicable
for tumble dryer. Refer to the fabric
label on the items.
Special notes about the Steam system
• The following textiles cannot be treated
using a Steam programmes: woollen
knitwear, leather, textiles with large
metal, wooden or plastic parts, textiles
with rusting metal parts, oilskins or wax
cotton garments.
www.electrolux.com16

• To smooth or freshen laundry with a
Steam programme, sort laundry by
size, weight, material and colour. Only
smooth textiles together that are similar
in terms of size, weight, material and
colour.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles
together with light-coloured laundry
items. Colours may fade (check colour
fastness of fabric when damp in an
inconspicuous area).
• Do not use dry cleaning sets in
combination with Steam programmes.
• Before treating garments with an Iron
Aid programme, remove stains by
washing or using localised stain
removal.
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics
inside out (e.g. with cotton lined
anoraks, the cotton layer should be
outermost). These fabrics will then dry
better.
