Care and cleaning
You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you
can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains
lime. It is a good idea to periodically use
a water softening powder in the
machine. Do this separately from any
laundry washing, and according to the
softening powder manufacturers
instructions. This will help to prevent the
formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This
helps to prevent mould and stagnant
smells forming inside the appliance.
Keeping the door open after a wash will
also help to preserve the door seal.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature
washes it is possible to get a build up
of residues inside the drum. 
We recommend that a maintenance
wash be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
 The drum should be empty of
laundry.
 Select the hottest cotton wash
programme.
 Use a normal measure of detergent,
must be a powder with biological
properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the
appliance with soap and water only,
and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer should be cleaned
regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the
catch downwards and by pulling it out.
Flush it out under a tap, to remove any
traces of accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the
additive compartment should be
removed. Clean all parts with water.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a
small brush to clean the recess,
ensuring that all washing powder
residue is removed from the upper and
lower part of the recess.

							24electroluxcare and cleaning
Insert the detergent dispenser drawer
in the guide rails and push it in.
Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur
due to rusting foreign bodies in the
washing or tap water containing iron.
Important! Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling agents, scouring
agents containing chlorine or iron or
steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the
drum with a cleaning agent for
stainless steel.
2. Run a washing cycle without any
washing to clean off any cleaning
agent residues. Programme:
COTTONS/LINEN 90° or 95°C,
press button 6, add approx. 1/4
measuring cup of detergent.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal
and eliminate eventual possible objects
that could be trapped in the fold.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
 the machine does not empty and/or
spin 
 the machine makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump. 

Proceed as follows:
 Disconnect the appliance. 
 If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down. 
 open the pump door levering on the
groove with a coin or with the
suitable tool, that you can find in the
bag containing the instruction
booklet (or fitted on the appropriate
recess behind the detergent
dispenser drawer depending on the
model).
 place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage.
 pull out the emergency emptying cap
from the filter cover, using a pliers.

							 when no more water comes out,
unscrew the pump cover, using a
pliers, and remove the filter.
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
spillage of water when removing the
cover.
 Remove any objects from the pump
impeller by rotating it.
 replace the filter into the pump
paying attention to insert it properly.
When done, screw it firmly

							When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the pump. 
Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle, always wait until the
appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the cover,
ensure it is securely retightened so as
to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the
water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet
hose. 
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to
temperatures below 0°C, certain
precautions should be taken:
 pull out the plug from the power
socket; 
 turn off the water tap.
 unscrew the inlet hose.


 place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage
from the emergency emptying hose. 
Place the end of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let
water drain out.
 screw the water inlet hose back on
and reposition the emergency
emptying cap on again into the filter
cover.
 when you intend to start the machine
up again, make sure that the room
temperature is above 0°C.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed
as follows to empty out the machine:
 pull out the plug from the power
socket; 
 close the water tap; 
 if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;
 open the pump door using the
suitable tool;
 place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage.
Remove the emergency emptying
cap from the filter cover. The water
should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, put the cap
back on filter cover. Empty the bowl.
Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;
 clean the pump if necessary as
previously described;
 replace the filter into the pump and
screw it firmly as previously
described;
 replace the emergency emptying cap
into the filter cover and close the
pump door.
