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, delicates, woollens.

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. 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.

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. 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).

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

the display is reduced. By pressing any button the appliance will come out of the energy saving status.

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. 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.

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 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.

12 electrolux

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 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.

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. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions. When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.

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 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.

CLEANING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out.

16 electrolux

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. Clean all parts with water.

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
