Cleaning The Lint Filter

LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD
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?

You must clean this lint filter after every load.

Ensure the lint filter “Clicks” when replacing.

Never operate your dryer without the lint filter.
Do not allow lint to build around your dryer.
A torn or damaged lint filter must be replaced immediately.
Overloading can increase lint build-up because the airflow is reduced.

Drying Guide

Your load, when dry must not exceed the rated capacity

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

You can choose to put your dryer:

On the floor.
On a work bench.
On a wall, upside down or upright, using the included mounting kit.
Ontop of a front load washing machine using a stacking kit available as an optional extra (not available for all washing machine models).

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 tumble dryer door is 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
fear-using a venting kit (optional extra)

Venting Kit (Optional Extra)

DVKOO05K- Through the wall

DVKO06 - Universal flexible hose

Important: Use only kits approved by Electrolux Home Products Pty. Ltd. with your dryer. Contact the Electrolux Home Products Pty. Ltd. Spare Parts Centre for the list of approved kits. The exhaust duct must not exceed 2 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 the optional vent 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 buming 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.

2 INDICATORS

3 START/PAUSE BUTTON

This button allows you to start or pause the dryer to check the contents or perhaps add more clothes.

NOTES : The dryer will not start unless the door is closed. (If door is not closed you will hear 6 beeps followed by DRY LED blinking 4 times.)

Operating Sequence

Step 1

Load your dryer loosely until it is no more than TWO THIRD FULL. Clothes must tumble freely in a dryer. Don’t cram them in. Wet clothesfluff up when dry.

Overloading will :

Reduce efficiency
Increase drying time
Increases the risk of creasing

Step 2

SWITCH ON

The dryer will not operate unless the door is completely close.

Step 3

Turn the Program Selector knob to choose the drying program you want.

For best results we recommend to sort out your laundry
- Do not select the “Extra Dry” option for delicate fabrics such polyester as shrinking may occur.
- To obtain the best drying results with small loads it is recommended to use “Time drying” program.

Reversing Action

The drum is designed to rotate in both direction, clockwise and anti-clockwise. This reduces tangling and gives more even drying is a shorter time.

Step 4

Turn the Program Selector knob to “OFF” When you have finished using the dryer to turn off the power, then switch off at the power point. It is recommended to power off the appliance when not in use.

Step 5

Clean Lint Filter

After every load clean the lint filter to reduce drying time and avoid overheating.

Checking the Load

To check the dryness or add clothes during the cycle, simply open the door. The dryer will beep several times indicating the door is open.

If further drying is required, close the door and then press the Start/Pause button to continue.

For the best drying performance, only add or remove clothes at the begining of the drying cycle.

Hints

Never tumble dry the following : Delicate items such as net curtains, woollen, silk, fabric with metal trim, nylon tights, bulky metarials 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 part were to come loose fro the garment.
Place such items in a bag designed for this purpose.
Check and empty pockets. Clip, pens, nails and pins can damage bth the dryer and your clothes. Other item 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 aporn string 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 your washing machine.
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 shirt, should be briefly pre-spun before drying (depending on tnis 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.
For best results, sort the load according to fabric. 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 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 “gives” and the lint “collectors” to minimise this problem.
Clothes that give lint include towels, nappies, chenille. Clothes that collect lint include corduroy, synthetics and permanent press garments.
If individule items are still damp after drying, set a 30 minutes post drying time. This wil be necessary particularly for multilayered items (eg. collars, pockets, etc).
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.
Drying time will also be effected by voltage fluctuations,room temperature and humidity. Clothes will dry more slowly on a cool or humid day.
To help you, here is a list of the average weights of some common laundry items.
