Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the clothes.

Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and grass before washing. Underwired bras must NOT be machine washed.

Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

Garments which have been in contact with volatile petroleum products should not be machine washed. If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken to ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment before placing in the machine.

Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum.

Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.

As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.

Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes to preserve the door seal.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Electrolux Service Centre. Always insist on Electrolux genuine spare parts.

Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine, meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 90°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent any creasing.

The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme gentleness.

The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.

Select an ECONOMY E programme for normally soiled laundry.

A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry.
