care and cleaning electrolux 17 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 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). 18 electrolux care and cleaning Do n nnot u uuse t tthe a aappliance w wwithout f ffilters.

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. To pull out the condenser, first turn the two red stops downwards and then remove the condenser unit holding it at the handle. 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. 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. Do n nnot u uuse t tthis a aappliance i iif t tthe c ccondenser has n nnot b bbeen f ffitted.

The buzzer will sound for 1 minute. After emptying and inserting the reservoir the START-button has to be depressed again to allow the programme to continue. care and cleaning electrolux 19 Handy t ttip: 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)).

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. 20 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.
