4 www.electrolux.com
Never tumble dry items which have
had contact with chemicals such as
dry cleaning fluid. These are of volatile
nature and could cause an explosion.
Only tumble dry items which have
been washed in water or require
airring.
Plastic detergent dispensers should
not remain in the drum during the
drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to with stand the heat. If you
wish to wash-through-to dry you
should use the conventional detergent
dispenser drawer.
Plastic detergent dispensers should
not remain in the drum during the
drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to with stand the heat. If you
wish to wash-through-to dry you
should use the conventional detergent
dispenser drawer.
Never pull the power supply cable to
remove the plug from the socket;
always take hold of the plug itself.
Never use the washer-dryer if the
power supply cable, the control panel,
the working surface or the base are
damaged so that the inside of the
washer-dryer is accessible.
After having installed the appliance,
check that it is not standing on the
inlet and drain hose and the worktop
is not pressing 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.
Always be sure, that there is no water
leakage from hoses and their
connections after the installation.
Any plumbing work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by
a qualified plumber.
Any electrical work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by
a qualified electrician.
This appliance is designed for
domestic use. It must not be used for
purposes other than those for which it
was designed.
Only wash fabrics which are designed
to be machine washed. Follow the
instructions on each garment label.
Do not overload the appliance. See
the relevant section in the user
manual.
Before washing, ensure that all
pockets are empty and buttons and
zips are fastened. Avoid washing
frayed or torn articles and treat stains
such as paint, ink, rust, and grass
before washing. Underwired bras
must NOT be machine washed.
Garments which have been in contact
with volatile petroleum products
should not be machine washed. If
volatile cleaning fluids are used, care
should be taken to ensure that the
fluid is removed from the garment
before placing in the machine.
1.3 USE
As some duvets and eiderdowns
should be washed/dried in large
commercial machine because of their
bulk, please check with the
manufacturer of the item before
washing/drying in a domestic
machine.
The users should always check that
they have not left their gas lighters
(disposable or otherwise) in their
clothing.

ENGLISH 5
Items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a fire hazard and should not
placed in a washer-dryer. Oil-affected
items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in washer-dryer. The
items become warm, causing an
oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become
hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-affected items
can prevent heat from escaping and
so create a fire hazard.
Items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber, like materials should
not be dried in a washer-dryer on a
heat setting.
Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used in a washer-dryer to
eliminate the effects of static electricity
unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed
in a washer-dryer.
Plastic articles such as shower caps
or babies’ waterproof napkin covers
should not be placed in washer-dryer.
Damage to the washer-dryer can
result if metal reinforcements come
loose during drying. When available a
drying rack could be used for such
itmes.
Foam rubber materials can, when
heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that
contain vegetable or cooking oil or
have been contaminated by hair care
products be placed in washer-dryer
they should first be washed in hot
water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
The ‘cool down’ cycle of washer-dryer
is used to reduce the temperature of
the items. They should not be
removed from the washer-dryer or
piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, dry- cleaning solvents
or other flammable or explosive
substances should not be placed in
washer-dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly
used in domestic environments include
acetone, denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosine, spot removers
(some brands), turpentine, waxes and
wax removers.
Never stop a washer-dryer
before the end of the drying
cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is
dissipated.
CAUTION!
-
Do not dry cloths in washer-
dryer with dry clean solvents.
Also do not use laundry
enhancement products during
the drying cycle.
To minimize the risk of fire in a
washer-dryer, following should be
observed:
-

6 www.electrolux.com

The drying time can vary accord-
ing to:
the final spin speed;
the required degree of drying
(Extra Dry or Cupboard Dry or
Iron Dry);
the type of laundry;
the size of load.
3.16 Duration of the drying cycle
3.17 Fibre residue
To prevent the formation
of creases or shrinking of
fabrics, avoid excessive
drying.
WARNING!
Should the laundry still be too
wet at the end of the program,
set another short drying cycle.
The final part of a washer-
dryer cycle occurs without
heat (cool down cycle).
This ensures the laundry
will be left at a low
temperature.
3.18 Additional drying

Ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the
installation instructions.
Put 2 litres of water in the detergent
compartment for washing phase.
This activates the drain system.

3. Select a Cottons cycle at 90 °C,
without any laundry in the machine,
to remove any manufacturing residue
from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a
measure of detergent into the
dispenser drawer and start the
machine.
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as
new towels, it is advisable to
perform a Rinse program to be
sure that any residue that may
remain in the tub is completely
removed and does not stick to
garments dried afterwards. After
each drying cycle, clean the
drain pump filter. Please refer
to care and cleaning in
section 10.

5.6 At The End Of The Program
At the end of the program the
time remaining can suddenly
decrease from 7 minutes or less
to 0 due to the overestimated
total program time during the
load sensing phase. In some
cases (with perfectly balanced
load) the program time can be
shorter than the time estimated
after the load sensing phase is
completed. This is a normal
behavior of the machine and not
a cause for concern as it does
not compromise its performance.
