Foam rubber materials can produce
fire by spontaneous combustion
when heated.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted
with foam rubber pads, pillows,
rubber boots and rubber-coated
sports shoes.
For your safety, and to reduce the risk
of fire or an explosion, DO NOT store
or use petrol or other inflammable
vapours and liquids near your dryer.
1.6 Fire Hazards
Some fabrics are not suitable for tumble
drying. The following MUST NOT be
placed in your dryer due to the risk of a
fire or an explosion:
Items that have been spotted or
soaked with vegetable oil, cooking
oil, suntan oil, linseed oil, salad oil,
lubrication oil or grease. Oil affected
items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in a tumble dryer.
The items becomce warm, causing
as oxidation reaction in the oil.
Oxidation creates heat. If heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot
enough to ignite.
Pilling, stackingl 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 is hot
water with extra detergent - this will
reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
The final part of tumble dryer cycle
occurs without heat (Cooling cycle) to
ensure that the items are left at the
temperature that ensures that the
items will not be damage.
Item that have previously been
cleaned in, washed in, or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, industrial chemicals
used only for cleaning, dry-cleaning
solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances are highly
flammable.
Highly flammable or explosive
commonly found aroundthe house
include acetone, (nail polish remover)
denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline,
kerosene,some spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers
should not be put in the dryer.Items
containing foam rubber (also known
as latex foam) or similarly textured
rubber-like materials.

7. DRYING HINTS
Your load, when dry must not
exceed the rated capacity of your
dryer.
7.1 Preparing the laundry
Never tumble dry the following:
Delicate items such as net curtains,
woollen, silk, fabric with metal trim,
nylon tights, bulky materials such as
anoraks, blankets, eiderdown,
sleeping bags, feather quilts and any
item containing rubber foam or
materials similar to foam rubber.
Do not place in your dryer
undergarments such as bras and
corsets that contain metal
reinforcements. Your dryer may be
damaged if metal parts were to come
loose from the garment. Place such
items in a bag designed for this
purpose.
Check and empty pockets. Clips,
pens, nails and pins can damage both
the dryer and your clothes. Other
items such as matches or cigarette
lighters will cause a fire.
Close all press studs, hooks, eyes
and zips that may catch on something
else. Tie all belts and apron strings to
prevent tangling.
Drying time will depend on fabric type
and construction, load size and
wetness, Save time and money and
always spin the load as dry as
possible in your washing machine.
Drying time will also be affected by
voltage fluctuations, room
temperature and humidity. Clothes will
dry more slowly on a cool or humid
day.
For best results, sort the load
according to fabric types. Such as
heavy items which may take longer to
dry, eg towels, flannelette sheets etc,
than ones which dry quickly, eg poly/
cotton shirts and sheets.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light
coloured items such as towels as lint
will show on the dark clothes.
Note: Some fabrics will collect lint
from other clothes and items.
Separate the lint “givers” and the
lint “collectors” to minimise this
problem.
Clothes that give int include towels,
nappies, chenille.
Clothes that collect lint include
corduroy, synthetics and permanent
press garments.
If individual items are still damp after
drying, please add appropriate Time
Drying program. This may be
necessary particularly for multilayered
items (e.g. jeans, items with collars or
pocket) or very small loads
Always clean the lint filter-this will
reduce drying time and save you
money.
The laundry must be thoroughly spun
before tumble drying.
Easy-care items eg shirts, should be
briefly pre-spun before drying
(depending on the crease resistance
approximately 30 seconds)
To avoid static charge when drying is
completed, use either a fabric
softener when you are washing the
laundry or a fabric conditioner
specifically for tumble dryers.
Remove the laundry when the dryer
has finished drying.
Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids
creasing and saves energy.
Clothes or towels containing sand or
grit should be washed first.
Due to variations in dryer load fabric
texture and thickness it is possible
that not all items will be dried evenly.
It you experience uneven dryness on
Cupboard program please use either
Extra Dry or Timer Program but be
mindful of the type of fabric being
dried to avoid overdrying certain types
of fabric. Always follow drying
instructions attached to the items
intended to be dried in a clothes dryer.

8. CARE AND CLEANING
A clean lint filter reduces drying
times, saves energy and avoids
overheating. Overheating may
also damage your clothes.
What happens If I forget to clean the
lint filter?
If necessary remove fluff from
the filter socket and gasket. You
can use a vacuum cleaner.

11. INSTALLATION
11.1 Unpacking
1. Use gloves. Cut and remove four
cut out 󰀬raps as shown.
2. Remove the carton box. Remove
the poly󰀬yrene packaging
materials. Remove the pla󰀬ic bag
which cover the machine.
3. Open the door. Remove all the
items from the drum.
4. Put one of the poly󰀬yrene
packaging elements on the oor
behind the appliance. Carefully put
down the appliance with the rear
side on it.
5. Remove the poly󰀬yrene base.
6. Pull up the appliance in vertical
position.
11.2 Positioning
You can choose to put your dryer :
on the floor
on a work bench upside down or
upright.
on a wall.
The appliance must not be installed
behind a lockable door, a sliding door or
a door with a hinge on the opposite side
to that of the tumble dryer in such away
that a full opening of the restricted.
The exhaust grille has a range of
positions, which allows you to select
the optimum exhaust air angle. Simply
hold the grille and rotate it until it hits the
built-in stop. Do not install your dryer in
a cupboard or small un-vented laundry
unless you are using a venting kit.
There are 2 venting options
Front
Rear - using a included kit
Important: Use only kits approved by
Electrolux with your dryer.
The exhaust duct must not exceed 2
background
ENGLISH 27
metres in length at 100mm diameter.
If connecting the dryer to a common
ducting system, safety advice should be
requested from the manufacturer.
If you choose to use included kit, the
exhaust grille at the front of the dryer
will need to be replaced with the outlet
cover from the back of the dryer. Gently
prise open the grille, using a thin bladed
tool. Next, remove the cover from the
back and clip it into the grille space at
the front.
The exhaust grille is not required when
using a vent kit.
You can position the vent kit at the back
of the dryer to remove air upwards or
sideways.
Inlet and outlet points need clear airflow
to prevent overheating, so ensure
there is adequate ventilation. (i.e. open
window or external door.)
If a venting kit is used and the exhaust is
discharged out of the room, there must
be adequate ventilation to avoid the
back flow of gases in to the room from
appliances burning other fuels, including
open fires, when operating the tumble
dryer. This is not applicable where a
venting hose is directed to an open
window.
The exhaust air must not be discharged
into a flue which is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or
other fuels.
11.3 Machine Leveling
It is important that your Dryer stands
firm and leveled on the floor to ensure
correct operation. The appliance must
not be installed behind a lockable door,
a sliding door or a door with a hinge on
the opposite side to avoid restricting the
Dryer door.
Use a spirit level on the top and side of
the Dryer to check the levels.
If you do not have a spirit level, as a
guide use the edge of a door frame,
cupboard or bench to check that the
Dryer is leveled.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to com-
pensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around
the machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc.
Check that the machine does not touch
the wall or cupboard units.
