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.

electrolux 13

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).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with ace-

tone

, 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.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

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
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:

•

= 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 (iron dry, store
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, select a short drying cy­cle again.

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

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.

20 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.

Clean the chamber of dispenser drawer with
a brush.

Programme: Short Cotton Programme at
maximum temperature and add approx.
1/4 measuring cup of detergent.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and
eliminate eventual possible objects that
could be trapped in the fold.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if:

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise dur­ing draining due to objects such as safety
pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the appliance.

2. If necessary wait until the water has

cooled down.

3. Open the pump door.

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.

2. Run a washing cycle without any washing
to clean off any cleaning agent residues.

4. Place a container close to the pump to
collect any spillage.

5. Release the emergency emptying hose,
place it in the container and remove its
cap cover.

electrolux 21

Warning!

6. When no more water comes out, un­screw the pump and remove it. Always
keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of
water when removing the pump.

7. Remove any objects from the pump im­peller by rotating it.

8. Refit the cap on the emergency empty­ing hose and place the latter back in its
seat.

9. Screw the pump fully in.

10. Close the pump door.

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

Cleaning the water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer
to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet
hose is not blocked.

1. Turn off the water tap.

2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.

3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff
brush.

4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

22 electrolux

Emergency emptying out

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

1. pull out the plug from the power socket;

2. close the water tap;

3. if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;

4. open the pump door;

5. place a bowl on the floor and place the
end of the emergency emptying hose into

the bowl. Remove its cap. The water
should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, put the cap back
on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the
procedure until water stops flowing out;

6. clean the pump if necessary as previously
described;

7. replace the emergency emptying hose in
its seat after having plugged it;

8. screw the pump again and close the
door.

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed
as follows:

1. Turn off the water tap.

2. Unscrew the inlet hose.

3. Place the end of the emergency emptying
hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor and let water drain
out.

4. Screw the water inlet hose back on and
reposition the emergency emptying hose
after having put the cap on again.

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

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 washing ma­chine 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. If necessary, check the set­ting with a spirit level. Any necessary adjust­ment can be made with a spanner. Accurate
levelling prevents vibration, noise and dis­placement of the machine during operation.

Caution! Never place cardboard, wood
or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.

electrolux 27

Water inlet

Warning! This appliance must be
connected to a cold water supply.

1. Connect the water inlet hose supplied
with the machine to a tap with a 3/4"
thread. Always use the hose supplied
with the appliance.

Important! Do not use the hose from
your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.

2. The other end of the inlet hose which
connects to the machine can be turned
as showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards.
Angle the hose to the left or right depend­ing on the position of your water tap.

28 electrolux

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. 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.

Important! Before connecting up 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.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in three ways.

• Hooked over the edge of a sink using

the plastic hose guide supplied with the

machine. In this case, make sure the end
cannot come unhooked when the ma­chine is emptying. This could be done by
tying it to the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.

• In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch

must be above the trap so that the bend is
at least 60 cm above the ground.

•

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of
not less than 60 cm and not more than 90
cm. The end of the drain hose must always
be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the
drain pipe must be larger than the outside
diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose
must not be kinked.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and
joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

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.
