Your New Tumble Dryer

This tumble dryer will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

Extremely high quality standards both during development and manufacturing guarantee a long service life for your appliance.

Maximum economy in the operation of your dryer is achieved through very frugal electricity consumption and short drying times.

Energy saving tips

To save energy we recommend that you follow these hints:

  • Try to load the maximum capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.
    • Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times.
  • Do not over-dry laundry, this avoids creasing and saves energy.
  • Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.
  • Ventilate the room well. The room temperature should not exceed +35^ during drying.

This will help you to select the correct time for drying.

2Delicate Button

Press this button to reduce the temperature when drying particularly delicate cotton or linen items. In this case you should select a longer drying time. On the programmes for synthetics the temperature is automatically reduced.

Therefore it is not necessary to depress this button.

3Start Button

After selecting the drying time press this button to start the programme.

If the door is opened during drying, this button has to be depressed again after closing the door to allow the programme to continue.

4 On (ON-OFF) Light

This lights up when the machine starts operating and goes out by turning the selector dial to "0" and when you open the door.

5 Program Time Selector

The selector dial incorporates two drying cycles, one of up to 150 minutes at a high temperature for cotton and linen, and one of up to 100 minutes at a low temperature for synthetic fabrics.

To set the machine to the selected time, turn the dial clockwise until the time you want coincides exactly with the pointer.

NEVER attempt to turn the dial in an anticlockwise direction.

When selecting the drying time, you should remember that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase (position ⚠ on the dial).

i Hints & Tips on Drying

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying.

Care Labels you may find on your laundry

normal drying (high temperature)
delicate drying (low temperature)
☐ may be tumble dried
do not tumble dry

Do not overload the appliance.

Here is a list of the approximate weight of some common laundry items.

Sheet 700 to 1000 g

Pillowcase 100 to 200 g

Tablecloth 400 to 500 g

Table Napkin 50 to 100 g

Kitchen Towel 70 to 120 g

Linen Hand Towel 100 to 150 g

Hand Towel 150 to 250 g

Bath Towel 700 to 1000 g

Bathrobe 1000 to 1500 g

Shirt 200 to 300 g

Apron 150 to 200 g

• Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying time.
- DO NOT load dripping wet laundry into the dryer. Roll the article in a towel or spin to remove excess water.
- Close poppers and zips and fasten any buttons.
- Sort the laundry. Separate synthetics from cotton/linens, and dry separately.
- Remove the laundry immediately after the programme has finished.
- Use a fabric conditioning sheet to reduce static. We recommend the sheet is pinned to an article of laundry (using a safety pin).
- Mix the load i.e. large and small articles.
- When drying large items such as sheets, we recommend you periodically stop the dryer to redistribute the load.

DO NOT use the tumble dryer to dry the following:

  • Articles contaminated with inflammable substances e.g. petrol, cleaning solvents, cooking oil, fats or hair lacquer.
  • Woollen and synthetic/wool mixtures unless the item is labelled as suitable for tumble drying.
    • Very delicate articles such as silk.
  • Very large and bulky items such as duvets or sleeping bags.

Maintenance 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. Important: 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. Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDE26100W - Cleaning the door - 1

natural_image Diagram of a washing machine with open door and side panel, showing internal components (no text or symbols)

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean.

The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDE26100W - Cleaning the filters - 1

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDE26100W - Cleaning the filters - 2

natural_image Illustration of a hand opening a washing machine with a door handle (no text or symbols visible)

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 looses fluff when drying but it goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

If necessary the filters can be cleaned under running water using a brush. In this case, remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned with the tongue facing to the left or to the right).

Important

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDE26100W - Important - 1

The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that of the appliance.

Positioning

It is recommended that, for your convenience, the machine is positioned close to your washing machine.

Whilst drying, the tumble dryer will expel a certain amount of warm, very moist air, and this should be removed from the room as quickly as possible to prevent condensation. In an extremely well ventilated room or close to an open window, this may occur naturally.

However, in general, it is better to carry the dryer's exhaust outside via the 100 mm diameter flexible hose supplied with the appliance; ending either temporarily at an open window, or permanently at a fixed ventilation grille, fitted to an exterior wall or window.

The tumble dryer must be installed in a clean place, where dirt does not build up.

Make sure there are no obstructing items or material near the air-intake louvres provided at the back (e.g. paper, rags etc.).

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 two adjustable feet at the front of the machine until it is.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDE26100W - Positioning - 1

natural_image Diagram of a bolt and nut assembly with rotational arrows indicating rotation (no text or symbols)

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 build-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.

Important

When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not exceed 35^ C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance.

Fitting the vent hose

To simplify the installation, there is a choice of vent outlets: one at the back, the others in the left and right-hand side.

Connect the hose to whichever is the more convenient by pulling the ring nut (A) from the vent outlet at the back, screwing it on to the hose and pushing it firmly back into place.

The unused vents should now be sealed with the special snap covers provided

natural_image Technical diagram of a device with labeled component A, showing internal structure and mounting points (no text or symbols beyond labels)

A P1027

Advice: If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. To prevent this water from lying in the hose or flowing back into the tumble dryer, it is advisable to drill a small hole (dia. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to place a small container below it.(See picture, point B).

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDE26100W - Fitting the vent hose - 3

natural_image Diagram of a mechanical device with labeled parts A and B, showing internal components without any readable text or symbols.

Once connected to the dryer, run the vent hose to the desired outlet point, ensuring that the run's overall length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more than two bends. As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a fixed wall/window grille, a good local builder's merchant should be able to supply you with the necessary fittings and installation advice.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDE26100W - Fitting the vent hose - 4

It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.

Note that to avoid condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be fitted with the flexible hose to carry its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen units; preferably outside the kitchen.

In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is not obstructed. Therefore, in case of a permanent hose fitted to an exterior wall or ceiling, it must be have an exhaust capacity of at least 150 m^3/h .

If the dryer is fitted next to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is partially squashed, drying efficiency will be reduced, resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption.

If the hose is completely squashed, the safety cut-outs with which the machine is fitted may operate.

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.

Important
