20 electrolux washing & drying hints

Washing and Drying 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

95°

50°/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.

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».

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.

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.

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.

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

Important

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.

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.

washing & drying hints electrolux 21

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).

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.

22 electrolux washing & drying hints

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.

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.

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 so­called “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.

P0038

Cleaning the water drain filter

A clean filter is important for the correct
operating of the machine, and should
therefore be cleaned after every wash­ing programme.

Place a container underneath to catch
any spillage. If the filter is blocked and
the machine is unable to drain you will
need to drain the water manually from
the machine at this stage.

To do this, unhook the drain hose from
the standpipe or sink and hold the end
of the hose over a bowl on the floor.
The water should drain by gravity into
the bowl.

care and cleaning electrolux 29

Unscrew and remove the filter.

P0039

Clean carefully under a fast running
tap.

P0040

When the bowl is full, hook the hose
back up and empty the bowl. Repeat
the procedure until water stops flowing
out.

P0037

Warning!

When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the filter.
Never remove the filter during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance
has finished the cycle, and is empty.
When replacing the filter, ensure it is
securely retightened so as to stop
leaks and young children being able to
remove it.

P1090

30 electrolux care and cleaning

Cleaning the water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filter may become clogged.

It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the
water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet
hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to tempera­tures below 0°C, certain precautions
should be taken.

• Turn off the water tap.

• Unscrew the inlet hose.

• Unhook the drain hose from the rear
support and position the end of this
hose and that of the inlet hose in a
bowl. Run the draining programme

«Drain».

• Disconnect the appliance.

• Screw the inlet hose and reposition
the drain hose.

• When you intend to start the
machine up again, make sure that
the room temperature is above 0°C.

Important!

Every time you drain the water through
the emergency emptying hose you must
pour 2 litres of water into the main wash
compartment of the detergent drawer
and then run the drain programme. This
will activate the ECO VALVE device
avoiding that part of the detergent
remains unused at next washing.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed
as follows to empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power
socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;

• Unscrew and remove the filter;

• place a bowl on the floor. The water
should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, empty the
bowl. Repeat the procedure until
water stops flowing out;

• clean the filter if necessary as
previously described;

• screw the filter again.

Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin:

● The electronic unbalance

detection device has cut in
because the laundry is not
evenly distributed in the
drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse
rotation of the drum. This
may happen several times
before the unbalance
disappears and normal
spinning can resume. If,
after 10 minutes, the
laundry is still not evenly
distributed in the drum, the
machine will not spin. In this
case, redistribute the load
manually and select the
spin programme.

If you are unable to identify or solve the
problem, contact our service centre.
Before telephoning, make a note of the

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the
machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc.

Check that the machine does not touch
the wall or other kitchen units. Level the
washer-dryer by raising or lowering the
feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as
they incorporate a self locking nut, but
the machine MUST be level and stable.

with a spanner. Accurate levelling
prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during
operation. Never place cardboard, wood
or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.

Water inlet
Do not use the hose from your

previous machine to connect to the
water supply!

1. Connect the hose to a tap with a
3/4” thread.

2. Set the hose correctly by loosening
the ring nut. After positioning the inlet
hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut

If it is too short and you do not wish to
move the tap, you will have to
purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.

Note !

Installation should comply with
local water authority and building
regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be connected
to a cold water supply.

A minimum water pressure of 0.05
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe
operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water
connection direct from the rising mains,
you may be able to operate the
appliance from your cold water storage
system.
There should be a minimum distance
of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the
water storage tank.

Place the drain hose into your
standpipe, which should have an
internal diameter of approximately
38mm thus ensuring there is an air
break between the drain hose and
standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe
ensure that the top of the standpipe is
no more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no
less than 60 cm (23.6'') above floor

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be
permanently plumbed into your home's
drainage system using one of the
following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the
drain hose using the «U» piece
supplied.

An additional drain hose and joining
piece is available from your local
Service Force Centre. The joining piece
must have an internal diameter of 18
mm.
If your drain hose looks like this (see

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used
before, remove any blanking plug that
may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot
and secure with a clip if required,
ensure a loop is formed in the drain
hose (see diagram) to prevent waste
from the sink entering the washer­dryer.

Important!

Before connecting the machine to new
pipework or to pipework that has not
been used for some time, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected
in the pipes.

Special conditions

If the floor is carpeted or covered with
crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid
support base under the feet to prevent
noise, vibration or displacement. The
base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the
machine.

Warning !

The machine should NOT be placed on
deep pile carpeting.

Note

Please ensure that when the appliance
is installed it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.

In the interest of the environment

washer-dryers and dishwashers should
be connected to the FOUL drainage
system, the water will then be taken to
a sewage works for treatment before
being discharged safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are
not connected to the surface water
drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or
stream and may cause pollution.

Building-in

This appliance has been designed to
be built into the kitchen furniture.
The recess should have the dimen­sions shown in picture A.

When installing the appliance into the
kitchen furniture ensure, if possible, the
hoses are placed in either of the two
recesses on the back of the appliance.
This will help to prevent the hoses from
becoming kinked or trapped. Picture
AB.

In this case it is sufficient to screw in the
hinges (1) and the counter-magnet (6)
provided with the appliance, at the right
level (Fig. B).

a) Door

The dimensions of the door should be:

- width 595-598 mm

- thickness 16-22 mm
The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the

height of the adjacent furniture's base.

Preparation and assembly of
the door

The machine is originally pre-arranged
for the assembly of a door opening
from right to left.

b) Hinges

To mount the hinges it is necessary to
drill two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5­14 mm depending on the depth of door
furniture) on the inner side of the door.
The distance between the holes hobs
fixing centres must be 416 mm.

44 electrolux building-in

The distance (B) from upper edge of the
door to the centre of the hole depends
on the adjacent furniture's dimensions.
The required dimensions are given in the
picture C.
The hinges will be fixed to the door by
means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B)
supplied with the appliance.

c) Mounting the door

Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by
means of the M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B).
The hinges can be adjusted to compen­sate for possible uneven thickness of
the door.
To align the door perfectly it is neces­sary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B),
adjust the door and tighten the screw
again.

d) Counter-magnet (6)

The appliance is pre-arranged for a
magnetic closure of the door. To enable
a correct operation of this device, it is
necessary to screw the counter-magnet
(6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the
inner side of the door.
Its position must correspond to the
magnet (4) on the appliance (see picture
D).

If the door has to be opened from left to
right, invert the position of the plates (7),
the magnet (4) and the plate (5) (Fig. B
and E). Mount the countermagnet (6)
and the hinges (1) as previously
described.

Recommendations regarding the
construction and fitting of a base
when the installation requires an
integrated appliance to be raised.

Where the appliance has been raised by
mounting onto a wooden base provided
by the installer. The material used to
construct the base should have a non
slip surface, be water repellent and if
possible be one solid piece.
If it is not possible to use one solid
piece, due to the additional height
required, ensure that any additional
strips of timber are glued and screwed
to the underside of the base (see Fig. F).

G

Drill four fixing holes see Fig. G

Position the base into the recess with its
front edge as far forward as the adjoin­ing plinth line will allow.

The reason for placing the base in
this position is to allow a small strip
of beading to be fitted in front of the
appliance feet.

Fix the base firmly to the floor using four
appropriate countersunk screws (see
Fig. H).

With the appliance installed adjust all
four feet ensuring the machine is stable,
and a clearance of approximately 5 mm
is left between the top of the machine
and the underside of the worktop.

A final check for stability should be car­ried out with the machine on spin with a
load, this will identify the need for any
further fine adjustment to the feet.

A strip of beading approximately 605
mm W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be
screwed down into the base directly in
front of the machine’s feet, this will pro­vide additional security.

If required an additional door magnet,
part number 1242394-00/3 and disc,
part number 1242393-00/5 are avail­able from spare parts.

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.
