User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX EDC47100W

[. . . ] Never tumble dry items that have been in contact with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These are of a volatile nature and could cause an explosion. As some bulky items such as duvets and eiderdowns should be dried in large commercial machines because of their bulk, check with the manufacturer of the item if it is suitable for drying in a domestic machine, even if the dry weight of the item is within the limit advised. Always check that no cigarette lighters have been left in pockets. [. . . ] It is essential to provide a certain amount of space between the floor and the appliance for ventilation purposes. Do not place it on deep pile carpet or rugs. Blocking ventilation would inevitably lead to a build up of heat which would affect the appliance's efficiency. Important The hot air emitted by the tumble dryer can reach temperatures of up to 60C. 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 exceed 35C, as it may affect the performance of the appliance. Make sure that air circulates freely at the back of the appliance and that intake grilles are not obstructed. Stacking kit This tumble dryer may be stacked on a front-loading washing machine. However, the tumble dryer will have to be fixed to the washing machine. For this to be carried out, the special stacking kit (available from all authorised dealers) will be required. The assembling instructions are included in the kit.

This container must be emptied after every cycle, but it can also be emptied during the drying cycle. Should you forget to empty the container, a light will light up on the panel and the drying cycle will stop automatically even if the laundry is not dry yet. Note: The water collected in the container can be used in a steam iron provided it is filtered (for example with a coffee filter).
