Important Safety Information
The safety of Electrolux electrical appliances com-
plies 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. Please get in touch with our customer serv-
ice or with an authorised Electrolux dealer when
repair is necessary.
•
Before commencing operation please make sure
that the nominal voltage and type of supply speci-
fied on the type plate of the appliance correspond
to the actual nominal voltage and supply type at
the place of utilisation. The fuse rating is also
specified on the type plate.
•
Never operate the dryer when the mains cable is
damaged or when the operator control mask, work
plate or base shrouding are damaged such that
there is direct access to the interior of the appli-
ance.
•
Switch-off the dryer before carrying out any clean-
ing, care and maintenance tasks! You are quite
safe if you disconnect the mains plug from the
power outlet or – if the electrical connection is per-
manent – if you switch-off the circuit breaker in the
fusebox or screw the fuse cartridge right out of its
holder.
•
If the appliance will be out of operation for an
extended period of time, unplug it from the mains.
•
Never pull on the cable to disconnect the mains
plug from the power outlet. Always grasp and pull-
out the plug.
•
Don't lean on the opened door; this could make
the appliance fall over.
•
Don't use a water jet to spray-down the appliance.
Danger of electric shock!
•
When closing the door, please check that the
washing is not caught in it.
•
If you interrupt the drying process to take out laun-
dry, bear in mind that the laundry and the drum
could be hot.
•
Adaptors and extension cables must not be used.
There is risk of fire because of overheating!

Safety of children
•
Children are often not aware of the dangers
involved when handling electrical equipment.
Therefore provide the necessary supervision of
children when operating the appliance and do not
let children play with the dryer – there is a danger
that children could become trapped inside the
appliance.
•
Packaging parts (e.g. films, styropore) can be
dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation!
Keep packaging parts out of reach of children.
•
Make sure that children or small animals do not
climb into the drum of the dryer. For this purpose
keep the door of the dryer closed when the appli-
ance is not in use.
Utilisation in accordance with the
intended purpose
•
Conversions or modifications of the dryer are for-
bidden for safety reasons.
•
Use the dryer only to dry ordinary household laun-
dry! The manufacturer accepts no liability for any
damage resulting from incorrect operation or utili-
sation for an unintended purpose.
•
Dry only laundry which has been washed in water.
In particular, textiles which have been treated with
inflammable cleaning agents and solvents (petrol-
ether, alcohol, stain remover and similar materi-
als) must not be dried in the dryer. Danger of fire!
Explosion hazard!
•
Laundry items containing sponge rubber or rub-
ber-like materials must not be dried in the dryer.
Danger of fire!
•
Washing that is in poor condition (heavily worn)
and items with loose fillings (cushions) that could
break open must not be dried or refreshed. There
is a risk of fire!
•
Washing with rigid components (foot mats) will
cover the air slots; the slots will also be covered if
the drum is overfilled. Observe the maximum load
of 5 kg. There is a risk of overheating which could
cause a fire!
•
Only dry washing that does not contain any explo-
sive objects (fire lighters, spray cans). There is a
risk of fire or an explosion!
•
Clean the fluff filter after each drying procedure.
•
Clean the condenser regularly.
•
In the case of washer / dryer tower combinations,
do not place any objects on the dryer during use
as they could drop down.
