FLUFF IN THE GARMENTS
During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING

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.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
the machine off and remove the laun-
dry.
(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt especially)
and vice versa.
• To air-dry this type of fabrics when they
are washed the first time.
• To clean the filter.
• Perform one or more rinse cycles to
wash the drum between the washing and
drying of fabrics with different colors.
• After the drying phase, thoroughly clean
the empty drum, the gasket and the door
with a wet rag.
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
1)
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
1)
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
14 electrolux
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 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.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
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.
DRYING HINTS
PREPARING THE DRYING CYCLE
As a dryer, the appliance 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 laundry, 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,
bed covers, 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 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
electrolux 15
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 recommendations on quantities to use and do
not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
GARMENT LABELS
For drying, follow the indications given on
the manufacturer’s labels:
•

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.

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.

• the appliance does not empty and/or
spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter “What to do if...” for more
details).
Warning! Before unscrewing the pump
cover, switch the appliance off and
remove the mains plug from the
