Electrolux 16850A Washer/Dryer User Manual


 
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can
attract the fluff.
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when
you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be
machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar
solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful va-
pours.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not
exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer .
