Washing hints

Sorting 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

for normally soiled white

90°

60°

30°-40°

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.

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

(cold)

including synthetic fibres and
woollens bearing the label
«pure new wool, machine
washable, non-shrink».

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 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.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

1200 gbathrobe

100 gnapkin
700 gquilt cover
500 gsheet
200 gpillow case
250 gtablecloth

100 gmen’s underpants

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.

GB

18 electrolux washing hints

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.

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 (*), lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as
above, then treat stains with methylated
spirits. Remove any residual marks from
white fabrics 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 washing machine
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 washing machine incorporates a
recirculation system which allows an
optimal use of the concentrated
detergent.

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 manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use
and do not exceed the «MAX» mark

in the detergent dispenser drawer.

washing hints electrolux 19

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse
programme without any clothes in the
drum.
