1 Important Safety Information The safety of Electrolux electrical appliances complies with the established technical principles and statutory equipment safety regulations. Nevertheless, as manufacturer we have to draw your attention to the following safety instructions. General safety • • • • • • • • • • • Repairs of the dryer may be carried out only by trained personnel. Incompetently carried out repairs can entail considerable hazards for the user.
• • • If the dryer is placed adjacent to a gas, coal or electric cooking stove, interpose a thermally insulating non-combustible plate between the dryer and the stove (dimensions: 85x57,5cm). Do not place the dryer on high-pile carpet floors! This would hinder air circulation at the ventilation slots! The electric power plug connector of the appliance must remain accessible even after installation. • • Check that the tumble dryer is not standing on the mains cable.
2 Environmental protection tips • • • Your laundry will become light and soft in the tumble dryer even without a fabric softening agent. Loosen your laundry before loading it into the dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times and creasing. Ensure your laundry is well spun. Remove as much water as possible from the washing before drying! This is based on the principle: the better you spin the washing before drying the more economical the dryer is.
The key features of your appliance • • • • • • • • Program or time setting via the program selector AUDIBLE SIGNAL (SIGNAL) can be selected in addition; an intermittent audible signal is sounded after the end of the program.
