Electrolux Ewp 106100 W User Manual

							• Never wash whites and coloureds togeth-
er. Whites may lose their «whiteness» in
the wash.
• New coloured items may run in the first
wash; they should therefore be washed
separately the first time.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a spe-
cial detergent or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the
bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before wash-
ing:
Blood : treat fresh stains with cold water.
For dried stains, soak overnight in water
with a special detergent then rub in the
soap and water.
Oil based paint : moisten with benzine
stain remover, lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains : moisten with turpen-
tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and
dab the stain with the fingertips and a cot-
ton cloth.
Rust : oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or
a rust removing product used cold. Be care-
ful with rust stains which are not recent
since the cellulose structure will already
have been damaged and the fabric tends to
hole.
Mould stains : treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass : soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue : moisten with ace-
tone
2), lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain.
Lipstick : moisten with acetone as above,
then treat stains with methylated spirits.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.Red wine : soak in water and detergent,
rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,
then rinse. Treat any residual marks with
bleach.
Ink : depending on the type of ink, moisten
the fabric first with acetone
2), then with ace-
tic acid; treat any residual marks on white
fabrics with bleach and then rinse thorough-
ly.
Tar stains : first treat with stain remover,
methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
detergent paste.

							Close the door gently
Warning! Make sure that any fabrics
were not trapped when closing the door.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the en-
vironment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can
upset the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,
etc.), the colour, washing temperature and
degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine de-
tergents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric,
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics
(40°C max) and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tem-
perature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for wool-
lens only.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will de-
pend on the type of fabric, load size, de-
gree of soiling and hardness of the water
used.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always
to what is written on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,• large amounts of foam form during wash-
ing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “de-
grees” of hardness. Information on hard-
ness of the water in your area can be ob-
tained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority.
If the water hardness degree is medium or
high we suggest you to add a water soften-
er following always the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, read-
just the quantity of the detergent.

gent used for main wash.
