This document is a user manual for the Electrolux EW2C327R1 Tumble Dryer. It provides comprehensive information on safety, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Electrolux EW2C327R1 is a tumble dryer designed for household use, capable of drying various fabric types. It offers a range of programs and options to ensure optimal drying results while prioritizing energy efficiency and user convenience.
Function Description
The tumble dryer operates by circulating warm air through laundry to remove moisture. It features a control panel with a program knob, indicators, and touchpads for selecting programs and options. The appliance includes a water container to collect condensed water, a primary filter to trap lint, and a condenser for efficient moisture removal.
Key functional phases include:
- Drying Phase: The main process where warm air dries the laundry.
- Cooling Phase: A period at the end of the drying cycle to cool down the laundry.
- Crease Guard Phase: An extended phase (approximately 30-60 minutes) after drying to prevent creases, allowing for more flexible laundry removal.
- Delay Start: Allows users to postpone the start of a program from 30 minutes up to 20 hours.
- Child Lock: A safety feature that locks the program knob and touchpads to prevent unintended operation, especially by children.
- Remaining Laundry Moisture Degree Adjustment: Users can adjust the default dryness level of the laundry (maximum dry, more dry, standard dry) to suit their preferences.
- Buzzer On/Off: The acoustic signals can be activated or deactivated.
Usage Features
The tumble dryer offers several features to enhance the user experience:
- Program Selection: A program knob allows users to select from a variety of drying programs tailored to different fabric types and desired dryness levels, such as Cotton Eco, Cotton Cupboard, Cotton Iron, Synthetics Extra, Synthetics Cupboard, Easy Iron, Time Dry, Refresh, Mixed, Sport, Bedlinen, and Denim.
- Options:
- Delicates: Sets a low-temperature drying program suitable for delicate fabrics like viscose, rayon, and acrylic.
- Extra Anticrease: Extends the anti-crease phase by 60 minutes at the end of the drying cycle, further reducing creases. Laundry can still be removed during this phase.
- Time Dry: Available only for the Time Dry program, this option allows users to set a specific drying duration from 10 minutes to 2 hours, useful for small loads or single items.
- Loading and Unloading: The appliance door is reversible for ease of loading and installation. Users are advised to prepare laundry by closing zips and fasteners, removing items from pockets, and turning cotton items with internal layers inside out. It's recommended not to mix light and dark colors or dry dripping wet clothes.
- Stand-by Function: To conserve energy, the appliance automatically deactivates after 5 minutes if no program is started or after 5 minutes from the end of a program.
- Indicators: The control panel includes various indicators to show the current phase (drying, cooling, crease guard), status of components (condenser, water container, filter), and active options (delay start, child lock, acoustic signals). The display shows program duration, time drying duration, and delay start duration.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the appliance's performance and longevity. The manual outlines several key maintenance tasks:
- Cleaning the Filter: The lint filter must be cleaned before or after each use to ensure optimal drying performance and prevent longer cycles and increased energy consumption. The filter should be cleaned by hand or with a vacuum cleaner, avoiding water.
- Emptying the Water Container: The water container needs to be emptied when a program is completed. The collected water can be used as an alternative to distilled water for steam ironing, provided dirt residues are removed with a filter.
- Cleaning the Condenser: The condenser should be cleaned periodically to maintain efficiency. This involves opening the condenser door, removing the condenser cover, and cleaning the condenser unit.
- Cleaning the Drum: The inner surface of the drum and drum lifters should be cleaned with a standard neutral soap detergent and a moist soft cloth. Abrasive materials or steel wool should not be used.
- Cleaning the Control Panel and Housing: The control panel and housing can be cleaned with a moist soft cloth and a standard neutral soap detergent. Furniture cleaning agents or corrosive cleaning agents should be avoided.
- Cleaning the Airflow Slots: Fluff should be removed from the airflow slots using a vacuum cleaner to ensure proper ventilation.
The manual emphasizes the importance of using original spare parts for repairs and contacting an Authorized Service Centre for any issues. It also provides guidance on safe disposal of the appliance and its packaging in accordance with environmental regulations.
