External cleaning Use only soap and water and then dry The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning. 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. Accurate cleaning ensures correct drying. 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. The light is on to remind you this operation. 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). 125983731 gb.qxp 2007-01-26 08:57 Page 16 16 electrolux care and cleaning Do not use the appliance without filters. Cleaning the condenser unit Clean the condenser when light on. comes 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. 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. Important! Do not use pointed objects or utensils to clean the spaces between the plates, as this could damage the condenser and make it permeable. Re-fit the condenser, turn the red stops upwards and close the door. To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle. Do not use this appliance if the condenser has not been fitted. Emptying the water reservoir Water extracted from the laundry condenses inside the machine and is collected in a reservoir. The reservoir must be emptied after each drying cycle to ensure efficient operation when the machine is next used. The pilot 125983731 gb.qxp 2007-01-26 08:58 Page 17 electrolux care and cleaning 17 light reminds you this operation. Proceed as follows: · Open the small door at the lower part of the cabinet · Turn the yellow stop upwards · Pull out the reservoir · Open the small cover and let water flow down · Close the small cover and re-insert correctly 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. 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)). GB 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 washing, and to the lime contained in the water), which prevents the probes from detecting the correct degree of dryness. The reservoir must be re-iinserted correctly. After emptying and inserting the reservoir the START-button has to be depressed again to allow the programme to continue. 125983731 gb.qxp 2007-01-26 08:58 Page 18 18 electrolux something not working Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer.
