• Always follow the instructions on gar- ment labels: may be tumble dried normal drying (high tempera- ture) delicate drying (low tempera- ture) do not tumble dry

• Close pillowcases and covers with fasteners to prevent small laundry items getting tangled inside them. Close press studs, zips and hooks and tie belts and apron strings.

• Sort laundry according to type and degree of drying required.

• Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as they could attract the fluff.

• The laundry must be thoroughly spun before tumble drying.

, too, e.g. shirts, should be briefly pr e-spun befor

drying (depending on crease resist- ance approx. 30 seconds or using the special brief spin programme of your washing machine).

• Knitted textiles (knitted underwear) may shrink a little during drying. Please do not overdry items of this type. It is advisable to allow for shrinkage when choosing the size of new purchases.

• You can also put starched items into your dryer. However, to achieve the desired starched effect, choose the programme “iron dry”. To remove any starch residues, wipe out the internal drum after drying with a moist cloth and then rub it dry.

• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric sof- tener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specif- ically for tumble dryers.

• Remove the laundry when the dryer has finished drying.

• If individual items are still damp after drying, set a brief post-drying time, but

. This will be necessary particularly for multilayered items (e.g. collars, pockets, etc.). Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes. To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons). Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cottonlined anoraks, the cotton layer should be outermost). These fabrics will then dry better. drying hints electrolux 13 GB14 electrolux Maximum loads Recommended loads are indicated in the programme charts.

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.

1. Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the appliance.

2. In selection mode,press simultaneously the buttons

Objective Implementation programme information electrolux 17 GB18 electrolux care and cleaning Care and cleaning You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work. External cleaning Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.

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. Accurate clean- ing ensures correct drying. Cleaning the filters Your dryer will only function well if the fil- ters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned

, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth. The light is on to remind you 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 loses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter. After a while, a withish 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).D

Cleaning the condenser unit Clean the condenser when 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 insertion. To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards 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.

Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, as this could dam- age the condenser and make it perme- able. Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door.

he reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine is next used. The pilot light reminds you this operation. Proceed as follows:

Open the small door at the lower part of the cabinet

• Turn the yellow stop upwards care and cleaning electrolux 19 GB20 electrolux care and cleaning

• Pull out the reservoir

• Open the small cover and let water flow down

• Close the small cover and re-insert cor- rectly the reservoir

Push it until it clicks and turn the yellow stop downwards to lock firmly it

Close the small door and press the START/PAUSE button again to allow the programme to continue.

After emptying and inserting the reservoir the START-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 air intake grille Using a vacuum cleaner remove the fluff from the air intake grille at the back of the appliance. 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 wash- ing, and to the lime contained in the water), which prevents the probes from detecting the correct degree of dryness.Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the checks listed below. During machine operation it is possible that the red Start/Pause pilot light flashes to indicate that the machine is not working.

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 grilles 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 deeppile carpets, strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

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. Stacking kit A special stacking kit is available through your dealer, to enable the mounting of the dyer on top of a front loading washing machine with cover’s depth between 48 and 60 cm. Read carefully the instructions supplied with the kit.Door reversal To make it easier to load or unload the laundry the door can be reversed. Reversing the door is not possible if after this operation the appliance result installed behind a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance. This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Please contact the nearest Service Centre. Electrical connection This machine is designed to operate on a 230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply. Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.35 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use. Connect the machine to an earthed socket, in accordance with current wiring regulations. The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Centre.
