    HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
    SORTING OUT THE LAUNDRY
    Follow the wash code symbols on each
    garment label and the manufacturer’s
    washing instructions. Sort the laundry as
    follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, deli-
    cates, woollens.
    TEMPERATURES
    95° or 90°for normally soiled white cot-
    tons and linen (e.g. tea cloths,
    towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
    60°/50°
    for normally soiled, colour fast
    garments (e.g. shirts, night
    dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
    cotton or synthetic fibres and
    for lightly soiled white cotton
    (e.g. underwear)
    40°-30°-
    Cold
    for delicate items (e.g. net cur-
    tains), mixed laundry including
    synthetic fibres and woollens
    bearing the label «pure new
    wool, machine washable, non-
    shrink»
    electrolux 13
     
    						
    							BEFORE LOADING THE LAUNDRY
    Never wash whites and coloureds together.
    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.
    Make sure that no metal objects are
    left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety
    pins, pins).
    Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
    hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long
    tapes.
    Remove persistent stains before washing.
    Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
    detergent or detergent paste.
    Treat curtains with special care. Remove
    hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.
    MAXIMUM LOADS
    Recommended loads are indicated in the
    washing programme charts.
    General rules:
    •Cotton, linen: drum full but not too
    tightly packed;
    •Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
    •Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum
    no more than one third full.
    Washing a maximum load makes the most
    efficient use of water and energy.
    For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load
    size.

    REMOVING STAINS
    Stubborn stains may not be removed by
    just water and detergent. It is therefore ad-
    visable to treat them prior to washing.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 careful
    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
    acetone
    1), 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
    1), then with
    acetic acid; treat any residual marks on
    white fabrics with bleach and then rinse
    thoroughly.
    Tar stains: first treat with stain remover,
    methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with
    detergent paste.
    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
    environment.
    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
    detergents may be used in this appliance:
    1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
    14 electrolux
     
    						
    							• powder detergents for all types of fabric
    • powder detergents for delicate fabrics
    (60°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.
    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 recirculation
    system which allows an optimal use of the
    concentrated detergent.
    Follow the product manufacturer’s recom-
    mendations on quantities to use and do
    not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de-
    tergent dispenser drawer.
    DEGREES OF WATER HARDNESS
    Water hardness is classified in so-called
    “degrees” 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.
    A water softener must be added when
    water has a medium-high degree of
    hardness (from degree of hardness II).
    Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
    The quantity of detergent can then al-
    ways be adjusted to degree of hard-
    ness I (= soft).

    DRYING HINTS
    PREPARING THE DRYING CYCLE
    As a dryer, the appliance works on the con-
    densation principle.
    Therefore, the water tap must be open
    and the drain hose must drain water in-
    to a sink or into the drain pipe, even
    during the drying cycle.
    Attention!
    Before starting the drying programme, re-
    duce the loads of washed laundry, in order
    to obtain good performances.
    LAUNDRY NOT SUITABLE FOR
    DRYING
    • Particularly delicate items such as syn-
    thetic curtains, woollen and silk, gar-
    ments with metal inserts, nylon stock-
    ings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
    bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and du-
    vets must not be machine dried.
    • Avoid drying dark clothes with light col-
    oured 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 vapours.
    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 recom-
    mendations on quantities to use and do
    electrolux 15
     
    						
    							not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de-
    tergent dispenser drawer.
    GARMENT LABELS
    For drying, follow the indications given on
    the manufacturer’s labels:
    •
     = May be tumble dried
    •
     = Drying at high temperature
    •
     = Drying at reduced temperature
    •
     = Do not tumble dry.
    DRYING CYCLE DURATION
    The drying time may vary depending on:
    • speed of the final spin
    • dryness degree required (iron dry, store
    dry)
    • type of laundry• weight of the load size .
    The average drying time for a timed drying
    are indicated in the «Drying programmes»
    chapter. The experience will help you to dry
    your laundry in a more suitable way, ac-
    cording to the different fabrics. Take note of
    the duration drying time of the already per-
    formed cycles.
    ADDITIONAL DRYING
    If the laundry is still damp at the end of the
    drying programme, select a short drying cy-
    cle again.
    Warning! Do not over dry the
    laundry in order to avoid creasing
    of fabrics or garment’s shrinking.
    WASHING PROGRAMMES
    STEAM FUNCTION
    Steam can reduce creases and odours de-
    pending of the type of textile.
    Maximum amount of laundry : 1 kg of dried

    CARE AND CLEANING
    Warning! 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 manu-
    facturers instructions. This will help to pre-
    vent the formation of lime deposits.
    AFTER EACH WASH
    Leave the door open for a while. This helps
    to prevent mould and stagnant smells form-
    ing 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 in-
    side 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 pro-
    gramme.
    • Use a normal measure of detergent,
    must be a powder with biological proper-
    ties.
    EXTERNAL CLEANING
    Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance
    with soap and water only, and then dry
    thoroughly.
    Important! Do not use methylated spirits,
    solvents or similar products to clean the
    cabinet.

    compartment should be removed. Clean all
    parts with water.
    Clean the chamber of dispenser drawer
    with a brush.
    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 wash-
    ing to clean off any cleaning agent resi-
    dues.

    prox. 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.
    DRAIN PUMP
    Regularly examine the drain pump and
    make sure that it is clean.
    Clean the pump regularly and/or if:
    • The appliance does not drain the water.
    • The drum cannot turn.
    • The appliance makes an unusual noise
    because of the blockage of the drain
    pump.
    • A problem with water draining is detected
    (see chapter “What to do if...” for more
    details).
    Warning!
    1. Disconnect the mains plug from
    the mains socket.
    2. Do not remove the filter while the
    appliance operates. Do not clean
    the drain pump if the water in the
    appliance is hot. The water must
    be cold before you clean the drain
    pump.
