This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever
the weather.
Extremely high quality standards both during development and
manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.
Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through
very economical electricity consumption and short drying times.
Your New Tumble Dryer
In the interest
of the environment
•Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
•Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your
area for re-cycling this appliance.
•When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.
•Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
How do we help to protect the
environment? We use recycled paper!
Energy saving tips
To save energy we recommend that you follow these
hints:
•Try to load to 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.
•Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying
times and high electricity consumption.
•Ventilate the room well. The room temperature
should not exceed +35°C during drying.

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble
dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are
recommended for tumble drying.
Care Labels you may find on your laundry
may be tumble dried
normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
do not tumble dry
Do not overload the appliance.
Here is a list of the approximate weight of some
common laundry items.
Sheet 700 to 1000 g
Pillowcase 100 to 200 g
Tablecloth 400 to 500 g
Table Napkin 50 to 100 g
Kitchen Towel 70 to 120 g
Linen Hand Towel 100 to 150 g
Hand Towel 150 to 250 g
Bath Towel 700 to 1000 g
Bathrobe 1000 to 1500 g
Shirt 200 to 300 g
Apron 150 to 200 g
•Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin
speed the lower the electricity consumption and the
shorter the drying time.
•DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer.
Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess
water.
•Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
•Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from
cotton/linens, and dry separately.
•Remove the laundry immediately after the
programme has finished.
•Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We
recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of
laundry (using a safety pin).
•Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
•When drying large items such as sheets, we
recommend you periodically stop the dryer to
redistribute the load.
DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:
•Articles contaminated with inflammable substances
e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or
hair lacquer.
•Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the
item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.
•Very delicate articles such as silk.
•Very large and bulky items such as duvets or
sleeping bags.
Hints & Tips on Drying
125992691.qxd 26/05/2004 11:12 Pagina 10

11
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
External cleaning
Use and water and a mild washing up liquid then dry
thoroughly.
Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or
similar products.
Cleaning the door
Clean periodically the interior part of the door to
remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.
Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.
Cleaning the filters
Your dryer will only function well if the filters are
clean.
The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates
during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at
the end of each programme, before removing the
laundry, with a damp cloth. The CLOGGED
FILTERS light reminds you to carry out this
operation.
The filter in the inner door must be removed for
cleaning.
Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not
due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric
looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the
air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

Maintenance and Cleaning
After a while, a whitish patina due to detergent
residue on laundry forms on the filters. When this
occurs, clean the filters with warm water using a
brush. Remove the filter in the door opening as per
picture (it can be positioned with the tooth facing to
the left or to the right).
Do not use the appliance without filters.
Cleaning the condenser unit
Clean the air condenser when CLOGGED
CONDENSER light comes on.
The condenser is situated at the lower part of the
cabinet behind a small door. To open the door, push
the catch as per picture.
During the drying cycle or at the end, it is normal
for water to be present on the surface of the
condenser.
To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops
downwards as shown below and then remove the
condenser unit holding it at the handle.

Clean it with a brush and rinse it under the shower if
necessary.
Also clean the outside, removing all fluff.
Clean the rubber seal round the condenser cabinet
and in the inner part of the small door with a damp
cloth.
Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to
clean the spaces between the plates, as this could
damage the condenser and make it permeable.
Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and
close the door.
Do not use this appliance if the condenser
has not been fitted.
Emptying the water reservoir
Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside
the machine and is collected in a reservoir.
The reservoir must be emptied after each drying
cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine
is next used.
The FULL TANK light reminds you this operation.
Proceed as follows:
•Pull out the reservoir
•Turn it upside down and let water flow down
•Re-fit the reservoir
P1157
P1156
P0639
The reservoir must be re-inserted correctly.
If this is not done the pilot light FULL TANK comes
on during next drying and the programme stops,
leaving the laundry damp. The buzzer will sound.
After inserting the reservoir the START/PAUSE
button has to be depressed again to allow the
programme to continue.
Handy tip: The condensed water may be used in a
steam iron or to top up a battery, etc. In this case it
must be filtered (e.g. through a coffee filter).
Cleaning the drum
When your laundry does not reach the desired degree
of dryness, in other words, when it turns out either
too dry or too damp,we advise you to clean the inside
of the drum with a cloth soaked with vinegar.
This will eliminate the slight patina that has formed
in the drum (due to residues of detergent and
softeners used in the washing, and to the lime
contained in the water), which prevents the probes
from detecting the correct degree of dryness.
Cleaning the air intake grill
Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air
intake grill at the back of the appliance.

Adjusting the level of conductivity
Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and
mineral salts of which quantities vary according to
geographical locations thus varying its conductivity
values.
Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water
compared to those prefixed by the factory could
slightly influence the residual humidity of the
laundry at the end of the cycle.
Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of
the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the
water by using the following procedure.
Procedure:
Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the
appliance
In selection mode press simultaneously the buttons 3
and 6until «C0» appears on the digits.
Adjusting the level of
conductivity:
Press button 5 sequentially: the level of conductivity
is indicated by the lighting of the horizontal hyphens.

of a front loading washing machine with a lid depth
of between 48 and 60 cm.
Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.
Please contact your local Service Force Centre or
retailer for further advice.

This operation must be carried out by qualified
Service Force Engineer.
Please contact the nearest Zanussi/Electrolux Service
Force Centre.
Electrical connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.

Unpacking
Warning !
Slide out the polythene bag containing the
polystyrene block before using the appliance.
Should the appliance be moved, it must be
transported vertically.
Positioning
It is recommended that, for your convenience, 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 grills 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 deep-
pile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might
cause heat build-up which would interfere with
the operation of the appliance.
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.
