Preparing the wash cycle

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, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95° or 90°

60°/50°

40°-30°- Cold

for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...).

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).

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

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.

Preparing the wash cycle

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. 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 advisable 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 turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Preparing the wash cycle

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 colour-safe bleach (whites and fast coloureds

only). Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), 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 (*), 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.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

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 washer-dryer detergents may be used in this appliance:

• powder detergents for all types of fabric,

• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens,

• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without

prewash must be selected. The washer-dryer incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal

use of the concentrated detergent.

Preparing the wash cycle

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturers’ recommendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use. Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load,

• the laundry is lightly soiled,

• large amounts of foam form during washing. For the stain treatment before the washing cycle, follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on detergent quantities. If you use any specific product to remove the stains, you must start the washing immediately .

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.

Note: 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 always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft).

Preparing the drying cycle

As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Attention! Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of washed laun-

dry, in order to obtain good performances.

Laundry not suitable for drying

• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments

with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

•

Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured 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 residues 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..

Preparing the drying cycle

Gargment 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 (extra dry, iron dry, cupboard 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, according to the different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time of the already performed cycles.

Additional drying

If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying programme, again select a short drying cycle.

Attention! Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of fabrics or garment’s shrinking .

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 manufacturer's 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. Important! Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.

Detergent dispenser drawer

The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.

1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pulling it firmly.

Care and cleaning

2. Remove the conditioner insert from the middle compartment.

3. Clean all parts with water.

4. Put the conditioner insert in as far as it

will go, so that it is firmly in place.

5. Clean all parts of the washing machine, especially the nozzles in the top of the washing-in chamber, with a brush.

6. 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, 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 laundry to clean off any cleaning agent residues. Programme: COTTONS/LINEN 90° or 95°C, press the button approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.

The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case

it should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Installation

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «E» or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured red.

The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13 Amp BS1363/AAfuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Centre.

The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the machine.

Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this MUST be carried out by a Service Centre.

Permanent connection

In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point. This operation must be performed by a qualified electrician.

Ecological hints

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

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save

detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

•

The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the

laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling

and the quantity of laundry being washed.
