Environmental tips

• In the dryer, laundry becomes fluffy and

soft. Fabric softeners are not therefore

needed when washing.

• Your dryer will function most economical-

ly if you:

– always keep the ventilation slots on the

base of the dryer unobstructed;

– use the loading volumes specified in

the programme overview;

– ensure you have good ventilation in the

installation room;

– clean the micro-fine filter and fine strain-

er after each drying cycle;

– spin the laundry well before drying.

Energy consumption depends on spin-

ning speed set in washing machine.

Higher spinning speed - lower energy

consumption.

ly, the lint filters in the door and in front of

the drum must be cleaned after every dry-

ing cycle.

Caution! Important. Never operate the

dryer without the lint filter or with a

damaged or blocked lint filter.

1. Open loading door

2. Use a damp hand to clean the micro-

fine filter, which is built into the lower

part of the loading aperture.

tergent residue on laundry forms on the

filters. When this occurs, clean the filters

with warm water using a brush. Remove

the filter from the door pulling it out. It

electrolux 11

can be positioned with the tooth facing

to the left or to the right). After cleaning

do not forget to put it back.

4. Remove fluff from lint filter, preferably us-

ing a damp hand for this purpose.

5. Replace the filter.

Clean the door seal

Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth imme-

diately after the drying cycle has finished.

Emptying the water reservoir

Empty the water reservoir after every drying

cycle.

If the water reservoir is full, an active pro-

gramme will break off automatically and the

warning lamp

lights. In order to continue

the programme, the water reservoir must

first be emptied.

Warning! The condensed water is not

suitable for drinking or for preparing

foodstuffs.

1. Take out water reservoir completely.

2. Pour condensed water out into a basin

or similar receptacle.

3. Refit water reservoir.

If the programme has been interrupted

as a result of the water reservoir being

full: Press the START/PAUZE (Start/

Pause) button to continue the drying cy-

cle.

The water reservoir has a volume of ap-

prox. 4,5 litres. This is sufficient for

around 8 kg of laundry which has previ-

ously been spun at 1000 revolutions /

minute.

The condensed water can be used as

distilled water, e.g. for steam ironing.

However it must first be filtered (e.g.

with a coffee filter) to remove any resi-

due and small pieces of fluff.

Cleaning heat exchanger

If the

HEAT EXCHANGER is displayed,

the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.

Caution! Operating when the heat

exchanger is blocked with fluff can

damage the dryer. This also increases

energy consumption.

1. Open door.

2. Open door in plinth. To do this, press

the release button on the bottom of the

door aperture and open the door in the

plinth to the left.

3. Clean fluff from the inside of the door

and the heat exchanger front chamber.

Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth.

4. Turn both lock washers inwards.

5. Use the handle to pull the heat exchang-

er out of the base and carry it horizontal-

ly to prevent any remaining water from

spilling.

6. To empty the heat exchanger, hold verti-

cally over a washing-up bowl.

Caution! Do not use sharp objects to

clean. The heat exchanger could

develop leaks.

7. Clean heat exchanger.

It is best to use a brush or to rinse thor-

oughly with a hand-held shower.

8. Replace heat exchanger and lock into

place (turn both lock washers outwards

until they snap into place).

9. Close door in plinth.

The appliance will not operate if the

HEAT EXCHANGER indicator is still lit.

Caution! Never operate the dryer

without the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the drum

Caution! Do not use abrasives or steel

wool to clean the drum.

Lime in the water or cleaning agents

may form a barely visible lining on the in-

side of the drum. The degree to which

the laundry has been dried is then no

longer detected reliably. The laundry is

damper than expected when removed

from the appliance.

Use a standard domestic cleaner (e.g. vine-

gar-based cleaner) to wipe down the inside

of the drum and drum ribs.

Clean control panel and housing

Caution! Do not use furniture cleaners

or aggressive cleaning agents to clean

the machine.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the control

specially for dryers. The special bulb can be

obtained from your local Service Force cen-

tre.

Warning! When the appliance is

switched on, the interior lighting

switches itself off after 4 minutes when

the door is open.

Warning! Do not use standard bulbs!

These develop too much heat and may

damage the machine!

Warning! Before replacing the bulb,

disconnect the mains plug.

1. Unscrew cover above the bulb (this can

be found directly behind the loading aper-

ture, at the top; refer to “Description of

machine” section.)

2. Replace defective bulb.

3. Screw cover back down.

Check the correct positioning of o-ring gas-

ket before screwing back the door light cov-

er. Do not operate the dryer when missing o-

ring gasket on door light cover.

Warning! For safety reasons, the cover

must be screwed down tightly. If this is

not done, the dryer must not be

operated.

MACHINE SETTINGS

Setting Implementation

Zoemer (BUZZER ) perma-

nent off

1. Turn the programme selector to any programme.

2. Press simultaneously the Zoemer and Droogtegraad but-

tons and hold down for approx. 5 seconds.

The buzzer is by default always off. You can use Zoemer but-

ton to activate or deactivate sound but machine does not mem-

orize your selection.

Water hardness

Water contains, a variable

quantity of limestone and min-

eral salts of which quantities

vary according to geographi-

cal locations thus varying its

conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the con-

ductivity of the water com-

pared to those prefixed by the

factory could slightly influence

the residual humidity of the

laundry at the end of the cy-

cle. Your dryer allows you to

regulate the sensitivity of the

drying sensor based on con-

ductivity values of the water.

1. Turn the programme selector to any programme.

2. Press simultaneously the Droogtegraad and START/PAUZE

buttons and hold down for approx. 5 seconds. The current set-

ting is on the display:

–

low conductivity <300 micro S/cm

–

medium conductivity 300-600 micro S/cm

–

high conductivity >600 micro S/cm

3. Press the START/PAUZE START PAUZE button sequentially

until you set desired level.

4. To memorize setting press simultaneously the the Droogte-

graad and START/PAUZE buttons or turn knob to O off po-

humidity) during the cupboard dry cotton

cycle with half load.

• Final humidity (during cupboard dry cot-

ton, iron dry cotton and cupboard dry

easy care)

• Condensation efficiency (corrected with fi-

nal humidity) during cupboard dry cotton

cycle with nominal and half load

All the cycles have to be checked in accord-

ance with EN 61121 (Tumble dryers for

the performance).

INSTALLATION

Important! The appliance must be moved

in vertical position for transport.

Appliance positioning

• It is recommended that, for your conven-

ience, 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

grilles at the back of the machine.

• To keep vibration and noise to a mini-

mum 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 built-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 ap-

pliance must therefore not be installed on

floors which are not resistant to high temper-

atures.

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.

Important! Should the appliance be

moved, it must be transported vertically.

Important! The appliance must not be

installed behind the lockable door, a sliding

door a door with a hinge on the opposite

side to that of the appliance.

Removing transport safety packaging

Caution!

Before use all parts of the transport packag-

ing must be removed.

1. Open loading door

2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside ma-

chine on top of drum.

3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene pad-

ding from the machine.

any responsibility for damage or injury

through failure to comply with the

above safety precautions.

Should the appliance power supply ca-

ble need to be replaced, this must be

carried out by our Service Center.

Warning! The power supply cable

must be accessible after installing the

machine.

To make it easier to load or unload the laun-

dry, the door can be reversed.

Warning! The door must only be

reversed by an authorised service

engineer.

Please contact your local Service Force Cen-

tre. The engineer will carry out the door re-

versal at your cost.
