• Your dryer will function most economically
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 strainer after each drying cycle;
– spin the laundry well before drying.
Energy consumption depends on spinning speed set in washing machine.
Higher spinning speed - lower energy
consumption.

with light-coloured laundry items. Textile
colours may bleed.
• Do not dry cotton jersey and knitwear with
the EXTRA programme. Items may shrink!
• Wool and wool-like textiles can be dried
using the
WOOL programme. Before
the drying cycle spin the woollen textiles as
well as possible (max. 1200 rpm). Only dry
woollen textiles together which are similar
or the same with respect to material, colour and weight. Please dry heavy laundry
items made of wool separately.
Special notes about Iron Aid
Caution!
• The following textiles cannot be treated
using an Iron Aid programme: woollen
knitwear, leather, textiles with large metal,
wooden or plastic parts, textiles with rusting metal parts, oilskins or wax cotton garments.
• To smooth or freshen laundry with an Iron
Aid programme, sort laundry by size,
– Mixed fibres and synthetics for programmes in the
SYNTHETICS programme group.
• Sorting by care label. The care labels
mean:
Dry at reduced temperature (press DELICATEbutton!)
Drying in the tumble
dryer not possible
weight, material and colour. Only smooth
textiles together that are similar in terms of
size, weight, material and colour.
• Do not dry new, coloured textiles together
with light-coloured laundry items. Colours
may fade (check colour fastness of fabric
when damp in an inconspicuous area).
• Do not use dry cleaning sets such as dryel
in combination with Iron Aid programmes.
Preparing laundry
• To avoid laundry becoming tangled: close
zips, button up duvet covers and tie loose
ties or ribbons (e.g. of aprons).
• Empty pockets. Remove metal items (paper clips, safety pins, etc).
• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (e.g. with cotton-lined anoraks,
the cotton layer should be outermost).
These fabrics will then dry better.
Special notes about Iron Aid
• Before treating garments with an Iron Aid
programme, remove stains by washing or
using localised stain removal.

Iron AidTM Steam System
Fill water tank
You must fill up the water tank before using
an Iron Aid programme for the first time. Use
the distilled water provided if there is not yet
any condensed water from previous drying
programmes (see chapter on "Cleaning and
Maintenance, Emptying condensed water
container"). If, after an Iron Aid programme is
selected, the
water tank indicator on the
display lights up, you will need to fill up the
water tank with distilled water. Otherwise,
you will not be able to start any Iron Aid programme.
Caution! Important! Only fill the water
tank with distilled or fully desalinated

2. Turn the valve to the ON position. Water
will be supplied by the water circuit directly to the steam water tank filling it automatically during the next drying cycle.
Water recirculation system
This system allows you to automatically use
for an Iron Aid Steam cycle the condensed
water collected in the condense water tank
during a drying cycle.
Caution! The water in the condense
water tank will never automatically fill the
steam water tank. The water
recirculation system works only if it is
supplied by water arising during
standard drying cycles.
To activate this system turn the valve to the
ON position. When the valve is ON the steam
water tank will be filled during the next drying
cycle. Water will be supplied by the water
circuit directly to the steam water tank filling
it automatically.

All information on applications is for
guidance only. Smoothing results
may vary depending on the selected
programme and especially the fittings and material properties of the
textile. The results can be improved
if necessary by using different programmes and steam volumes. For
example, some textiles containing
more than 20% synthetics but with
the right fittings may behave more
like cotton textiles in an Iron Aid programme. You may therefore get better smoothing results by selecting a
cotton Iron Aid programme.
Given the wide range of different
textile grades and properties that
can be manufactured today using
different mechanical and chemical
processes, we recommend running
the first few Iron Aid programmes at
low steam levels and with a small
number of garments that are as similar as possible. Later, you can carefully start to vary the conditions of
Iron Aid programmes to learn from
experience how to get the best results from the volume of laundry loaded, the quality of the textiles and
the most suitable steam levels and
Iron AidTM programmes. Please also
note the accompanying ‘Textile
Guide’.

1) exact programme times appear in the display once the machine has performed wet/dry recognition
(approx. 2 min.)
All information provided on selecting the steam level and corresponding load are suggestions only. In
some cases, using a higher steam
level or smaller load may give better
results. The
REFRESHprogramme is a gentle Iron Aid programme for nonwashable textiles.
Any distortion to the shape of a garment which might occur in few cases, can be remedied by ironing.
Selecting the programme
Use the programme selector to set the programme you require. The estimated programme duration (in minutes) appears in the
multi-display.
Select steam level
LOAD (LOAD)
To achieve the best results, different steam
levels are required for different volumes of
laundry.
The LOAD button is used to set the required
steam level: MIN, MED or MAX.
All Iron Aid programmes, apart from the
REFRESH programme, automatically recognise the remaining dampness in clothes.
When laundry is wet, a drying cycle is activated first if required.
The table shows the steam levels appropriate
for the selected load, under LOAD.
1. Press the LOAD button repeatedly until
the desired steam level (MIN, MED or
MAX) is shown in the display.
If the LOAD button is not pressed after an
Iron Aid programme is selected, then medium steam level (MED) is selected automatically. If you select the
REFRESH programme, MIN is selected automatically.
12 electrolux
Important: If in doubt, always select a
lower steam level first until you have
more experience with load volumes, fabric types and the corresponding optimum steam level. If too high a steam
level is selected, garments may lose their
shape. If too low a steam level is selected, creases may remain.
Selecting additional functions
The additional functions available for the
Iron Aid programmes are BUZZER (BUZZER), DELAY (DELAY) and the CHILD LOCK.
1. Select the programme and additional
functions.
2. Press the DELAY button as many times
as necessary until the required start delay
appears on the display, e.g.
if the programme is to be started in
12 hours.
3. To activate the delay timer, press the
START/PAUSE button. The amount of
time remaining until the programme is set
to start is continuously displayed (e.g.
,
,
,…
etc).
If the display is showing
and you press the button again, the
time delay will be cancelled. The display
will show
and then the duration of the
selected programme.
BUZZER (BUZZER)
The appliance is supplied with the BUZZER
function activated. When the drying cycle
has finished, an intermittent acoustic signal
will sound. Each time a button is pressed or
a programme is changed using the programme knob, an audible signal is also set to
sound. The button is used to switch the function on or off. When the function is active, the
BUZZER
symbol appears in the display.
DELAY (DELAY)
With the DELAY button, you can delay
the start of a programme by between 30
minutes (
) and a maximum of 20 hours (
).
CHILD LOCK
The child lock can be set to prevent a programme being accidentally started or a programme in operation being accidentally
changed. The child safety device locks all
buttons and the programme knob. The child
safety device can be activated or deactivated
by holding down the BUZZER and TIME buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
• Before programme is started: Appliance
cannot be used
• After programme is started: Programme in
operation cannot be changed
The symbol
appears in the display to indicate that the child safety device is activated. The child safety device is not deactivated
once the programme comes to an end. If you
want to set a new programme, you must first
deactivate the child safety device.
Starting an Iron AidTM programme
Press the START/PAUSE button. The programme is started. First, the drying phase indicator appears in the display. The display
will also show the programme duration for
the selected Iron Aid programme, not including the additional drying phase. With wet
laundry, after a few minutes the appliance will
show the correct programme duration for the
Iron Aid programme including the preceding
drying programme. As soon as the right level
of dryness is reached, the Iron Aid programme will start automatically. The steam
indicator shows the progress of the Iron Aid
programme in the display. The individual
steam phases are shown by animated
clouds of steam.
Caution! Important: During the steam
phases that form part of the Iron Aid
programme and also the anti-crease
phase (represented by animated clouds
of steam in the display), the loading door
cannot be opened. Risk of burns!
electrolux 13
If the
water tank indicator lights up when
you select an Iron Aid programme, the programme cannot be started. You will need to
fill the water tank first (see section on ‘Cleaning and maintenance,filling water tank’.)
It is normal for the appliance to make
noises during an Iron Aid or drying programme if garments with hard parts,
such as metal buttons, are put in the

Iron Aid programme complete /
removing laundry
After the Iron Aid phase has ended,
is illuminated and the icon
TICREASE appears in the display. If the
BUZZER has been activated, an audible signal sounds at regular intervals.
The Iron Aid programme is automatically
followed by an anti-crease phase, including brief steam phases, which lasts
around 90 minutes.
The drum rotates during the anti-crease
phase. This keeps the laundry loose and free
of creases. It can be removed at any point
during the anti-crease phase, except during
steam phases (look for steam animation in
the display!). Laundry should be removed as
quickly as possible.
1. Open the loading door to remove the
laundry.
2. Before removing the laundry, remove fluff
from the micro-fine filter. It is best to use
a damp hand for this purpose. (See
“Cleaning and maintenance” section.)
3. Remove laundry one garment at a time.
4. Turn the programme knob to O OFF.
Important! After each drying cycle
– Clean the micro-fine filter and fine filter
– Drain the condensed water container
(See section “Cleaning and maintenance”.)
5. Close door.
Caution! To retain the effects of the Iron
Aid treatment, clothes must be removed
one garment at a time during the anticrease phase and hung immediately on
a clothes hanger to dry (for at least 5-15
mins, depending on fabric and selected
steam level). Do up the buttons and tug
the garment into shape, paying particular attention to cuffs and seams.

Installation
Appliance 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 built-up which would interfere with the operation of the appliance.
electrolux 25
Important!
• 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.
