Frequently Asked Questions - CTS5190V Elvita

How do I clean the lint filter on my Elvita CTS5190V tumble dryer?

Open the door and pull out the lint filter located at the bottom of the door opening. Remove lint by hand or with a soft brush. Rinse the filter under running water if needed, then dry completely before reinserting. Clean it after every drying cycle for optimal performance.

Why are my clothes still damp after a drying cycle?

This could be due to overloading the dryer, a clogged lint filter, or selecting the wrong program. Ensure the filter is clean, do not exceed 9 kg load, and choose a suitable drying level (e.g., Cupboard Dry). Also check that the vent hose is not blocked.

Can I install the dryer in a cold room or garage?

Yes, but ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C. Lower temperatures may extend drying time. Ensure adequate ventilation for the vented exhaust.

What does the 'Anti-Allergy' program do?

The Anti-Allergy program maintains a high temperature for a prolonged period to eliminate dust mites and bacteria. It is suitable for bedding, towels, and underwear. This program consumes more energy but provides a hygienic dry.

How do I use the Delay Start function?

Select your drying program, then press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the delay in hours (up to 24). Press Start to confirm. The display will show the remaining time before the cycle begins.

What does error code 'E3' mean?

Error code E3 indicates a ventilation problem. Check the exhaust hose for kinks or blockages, and ensure the vent outlet is clear. Also clean the lint filter. If the issue persists, contact customer service.

Can I dry delicate fabrics like silk or wool in this dryer?

Yes, but only using the dedicated Delicates program at low heat. Do not overdry. For wool items, use a mesh laundry bag and remove when slightly damp. Always check the care label on your garments.

How often should I clean the heat exchanger?

This model does not have a heat exchanger as it is a vented dryer. Instead, ensure the lint filter is cleaned after each cycle and the exhaust hose is inspected monthly for blockages.

What is the maximum length of the exhaust hose?

The maximum recommended length is 4 meters, with minimal bends to maintain airflow. Longer hoses may reduce drying efficiency and increase energy consumption.

Where can I find spare parts for my Elvita CTS5190V?

Spare parts such as filters, hoses, and door parts can be ordered from Elvita authorized service centers or online retailers. Use the model number CTS5190V when ordering.

THIS USER MANUAL

The contents of this manual describe the operation and use of the drying cabinet and provide instructions for its installation and maintenance.

NOTE!

Keep this user manual handy, so that it is always available for future reference

SAFE OPERATION

This advice on using the appliance safely is provided to help you avoid incorrect use and unnecessary risks, and you should read it before installing or using the drying cabinet.

WARNING!

This equipment is only intended for drying textiles that are washed in water.

• This drying cabinet can be used by children from the age of 8 upwards, and by individuals (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, on condition that they are supervised or instructed in how to use the drying cabinet safely, and that they understand the hazards involved.
• Do not let children play in, on or with the drying cabinet. Keep an eye on children when they are close to the cabinet.
• The power cord must be replaced immediately if it is damaged; this should only be done by the manufacturer, an authorised service representative or similarly qualified person, to avoid danger.
• Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
• Avoid hanging items in the cabinet that are dripping or soaking wet, as it is not designed to collect large amounts of water. This could lead to water running on to the floor.

If you need to dry items that are dripping or soaking wet, we recommend that you spin-dry them first or, if this is not possible, wring them out before placing them in the drying cabinet. We also recommend that the cabinet is placed on a drip tray to prevent any water damage to the floor.

COMPONENTS

The drying cabinet works in the same way as a heat pump, by using a dehumidifier instead of a conventional hot air unit. This means that it takes less heat to dry items and uses considerably less energy.

The cabinet is a closed system. There is no need to connect it to a ventilation system. Moisture condenses during the process and the water that is produced is led to a removable water tank or by hose to a drain.

The fan is also powerful enough that it causes garments to flap, which makes the drying process even more efficient.

AIR FLOW IN THE CABINET

NOTE!

Make sure that shoes and the like do not block the air flow!

CONDENSED WATER

The condensed water can be removed in two ways: it can be collected in a removable water tank or by a hose that runs to a floor drain.

Removable water tank

The water tank has ample capacity to collect the water from a complete wash. But make it a routine to empty the water tank before you dry every wash load.

Connecting to floor drain

When delivered, the drain hose in the drying cabinet is connected to the removable water tank.

To connect the hose to a floor drain, do as follows:

1 Carefully pull out the upper part of the hose around 2–3 cm.
2 Cut through the hose at the middle of the opening.
3 Attach the new drain hose and elbow that are supplied in the installation kit, as illustrated. The hoses are a push-fit on the elbow coupling.
4 Route the drain hose through one of the cut-outs in the panel to prevent it from being crushed.
5 Run the drain hose to the floor drain.
6 If the floor drain is higher than the outlet from cabinet, make sure that the hose hangs in an arc towards the floor and creates a water trap. Otherwise there is a risk that the condensed water could flow back towards the compartment when the pump is not running. This could cause the compartment to fill up with water and damage the drying cabinet.

Connecting to water tank

If you want to reconnect the condensed water outlet to the water tank you simply need to reconnect the two hoses with the elbow coupling.

NOTE!

The hose must never be bent so that it obstructs the flow of water.

INSTALLATION

Secure the cabinet to the wall. Fixing screws, washers and wall plugs are provided in the installation kit.

WARNING!

The drying cabinet must not be used unless it has been secured to the wall, as it could tip forwards otherwise.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

The drying cabinet must be connected to a 220–240 V, single-phase supply at 50 Hz, via an earthed wall socket.

The drying cabinet is supplied ready for connection with a power cord and earthed plug.

The fuse is rated at 10 A.

The drying cabinet must be connected to an earthed wall socket using the power cord supplied, and must not be connected permanently to the supply.

The socket must be positioned so that the appliance can be easily unplugged if necessary.

Check that the electrical supply matches the data on the rating plate and that the supply is earthed correctly according to the relevant standard. We recommend that the supply is fitted with a residual current device.

The socket must have its own fused circuit.

The manufacturer will not accept any responsibility if electrical connections are not made as described in this user manual.

4 Use the arrow up and arrow down buttons to choose the desired language.
5 To save the set value, press START/STOP.
6 To return to operating mode, press arrow down and START/STOP.

START-UP

Read this user manual before starting to use the drying cabinet.

After installing and connecting the cabinet you should wait at least 3 hours before starting to use it. This is to allow the oil to run back into the compressor. Otherwise the compressor may be damaged.

WARNING! Read the safety instructions on page 39 before using the cabinet.

1 Check that the cabinet is securely attached to the wall. See page 45.
2 Check that all packaging material has been removed.
3 Clean the inside and outside of the drying cabinet using warm water and a mild detergent. Then dry it carefully. See also the section on 'Care' later on in the manual.

ARRANGING ITEMS FOR DRYING

There are three sets of hangers inside the cabinet. Each set has a number of rails for hanging items to dry.

• Hang the items to suit the amount of space they take up – not how much they weigh.
• Raise the two lower sets of hangers if you need to dry long items.
• Hang gloves, hats, scarves and the like on the hangers on the inside of the door.
• Slide out the top set of hanger hooks to make it easier to hang items. Slide these back when they are not in use.

• Do not overload the drying cabinet. This causes laundry to crease and leads to uneven drying. If possible leave space between items.

• If there is a risk of discolouration from some items, leave plenty of space around them.

• If you place shoes or the like on the shoe stand, avoid obstructing the air flow.
• Avoid drying heavy garments together with lighter items as they take much longer to dry.
• Lay knitted garments flat to dry. If these are hung they will stretch excessively due to their weight when wet.
• Avoid hanging items in the cabinet that are dripping or soaking wet, as it is not designed to collect large amounts of water.
  This would also lead to very long drying times.

WARNING!

Do not dry garments or the like that have been contaminated with petrol or other volatile and flammable solvents. This could lead to the formation of an explosive gas mixture.

User advice

• Always follow the advice on the care label, if provided.
- If softener or antistatic agents are used, follow the manufacturer's instructions for these products.
- Remove laundry that is already dry. This reduces the drying time for the remaining laundry.

NOTE!

When the cabinet is cold the door seal may not close completely. But once the cabinet is warm the seal will expand and provide a complete seal.

NOTE!

If the seal does not close completely or if the door has a tendency to open by itself it may be because the filter is not fitted correctly. Press the filter and filter holder firmly into place so that there is no air leakage

DRYING PROGRAMME

The drying cabinet has two automatic programmes:

• Normal dry
• Extra dry

The automatic programmes stop the drying process automatically when the laundry is dry.

Selecting the drying programme

• Normal dry – used for drying medium-weight garments.
• Extra dry – used for drying heavier garments and for deep-drying.

Starting the drying programme

- Last-used drying programme.

Press the power button to turn the cabinet "ON" – the display lights up and shows the last programme that was run.

If you want to use this programme press START/STOPP.

Or select a different drying programme using arrow up orarrow down.

Then start the programme by pressing the START/STOP button.

When the condensed water tank is full the drying process stops immediately and the display shows "check water tank". Empty the water tank and restart the drying process.

- Cool-down

During the cool-down phase the display shows "cool" and the 5-minute rest time is counted down.

- Programme finish

When the cool-down phase ends, the drying process is complete and the display shows "finish" (flashing).

When the START/STOP button is pressed or the door is opened the current programme ends and the display shows the last-used programme.

NOTE!

In standby mode the display is switched off after 15 minutes and lights up again if one of the buttons on the control panel is pressed or the door is opened.

NOTE!

Empty the condensed water tank after each drying cycle.

Ending the drying programme

To interrupt the drying phase, press START/STOP.

Opening the door

If the door is opened during drying, the drying phase will continue for 5 minutes. The display shows “close door” and the programme will start a 5 minute count-down.

If the door is closed within this 5-minute period the drying phase will continue.

If the door is left open the drying phase will be cancelled after 5 minutes and will have to be restarted manually.

If you want to end the drying phase immediately, without the 5-minute pause, press START/STOP.

FINE-TUNING THE DRYING PROGRAMME

It is possible to fine-tune the two automatic programmes to get the best results.

The settings for each programme are adjusted using the control panel.

You should only do this if you feel that:

• The laundry is not being dried adequately.

- The laundry is being over-dried, or the drying time is too long.

Introduction

The drying cabinet has two automatic programmes: Normal dry and Extra dry.

The automatic programmes stop the drying process automatically when the laundry is dry.

To decide when the laundry is dry, the measured value is compared with a default setting.

Parameter P 2072 is used for the Normal dry programme, and parameter P 2071 is used for the Extra dry programme.

These are the two main parameters that can be adjusted to optimize the drying process.

- If you feel that the laundry is not being dried adequately by the:

Normal dry programme reduce the parameter value for P 2072.

Extra dry programme increase the parameter value for P 2071.

- If you feel that the laundry is being over-dried by the:

Normal dry programme

increase the parameter value for P 2072.

Extra dry programme

reduce the parameter value for P 2071.

The drying process should always be adjusted in small steps; start by adjusting the current value by 1–2 units up or down, then check the results from the next drying cycle and make further adjustments if needed.

Method

The parameter list can be accessed using the control panel. The list is displayed as follows: the top row shows the current parameter, e.g. P 2071, while the bottom row shows the set value.

1 Make sure the ON/OFF button on the cabinet is turned off. The display should be dark.
2 Press and hold the ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN buttons and press the ON/OFF button to turn the cabinet "ON". The display will light up and show "P 105" and the default setting for P 105. The row with the current parameter will flash in the display.
3 Advance to the desired parameter by pressing the ARROW UP or ARROW DOWN button repeatedly. If you go too far you can simply continue scrolling until the display shows the right parameter.

4 When the display shows the desired parameter, e.g. "P 2072", press START/STOP to confirm.
The row showing the set value for this parameter will now flash.
5 Increase or decrease the value using the ARROW UP or ARROW DOWN buttons.
6 To save the set value, press START/STOP.
7 To return to the operating value, press ARROW DOWN and START/STOP.

Restoring default settings

1 Enter parameter display mode as described in steps 1–2 above.
2 Press and hold the ARROW UP and ARROW DOWN buttons and then press START/STOP.

The default settings are restored and the display shows the last-used programme.
