Cotton and synthetic items.
Do not set the Steam programme for
this type of clothes:

• Clothes which is not specified on
the care label as being suitable for
tumble-drying.

• Clothes with inclusion of plastic,
metal, wooden parts or alike.

(Dampf Glätten / Défroissage Vapeur)
This programme helps to dewrinkle
the laundry.

Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These programmes can reduce
creases and odours and make your laundry more smooth.
Do not use any detergent. If necessary, remove stains by washing or using localized stain re­moval.
Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.

1) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry feels humid. It is better to
expose clothes to the fresh air for about 10 minutes to let the humidity dry. Laundry should be removed from the
drum as quick as possible. After a steam cycle, clothes may to be ironed anyway, but with less effort!

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that are on
the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash together white and coloured
items.

• Some coloured items can discolour with
the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.

• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool
and items with painted illustrations.

• Remove hard stains.

• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil
stains.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the
hooks or put the curtains in a washing
bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this oc­curs, adjust manually the items in the tub
and start the spin phase again.

Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the appli­ance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is applicable
to the type of stain and fabric.

electrolux 13

Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives spe­cially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of deter­gent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on the
on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type and
colour of the fabric, the programme tem­perature and the level of soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set
the prewash phase.

water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it is
not necessary to use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on the
packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water hard­ness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna­tional unit for the hardness of water).

• Clarke degrees.

• If your appliance has not the detergent
dispenser with the flap device, add the
liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a

CARE AND CLEANING

Warning!

Disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply before you clean it.

Descaling

The water we use contains limescale. If it
becomes necessary, use a water softener
to remove limescales.
Use a special product made for washing
machines. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the manufacturer.
Do this separately from the laundry wash.

External cleaning

Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

Caution! Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.

Maintenance wash

With the low temperature programmes it is
possible that some detergent stays in the
drum. Make regularly a maintenance wash.
To do this:

• Empty the laundry from the drum.

• Set the hottest cotton wash programme

• Use a correct quantity of powder deter­gent with biological properties.

After each wash, keep the door open for a
while to prevent mould and to let unpleas­ant smells go out.

Detergent dispenser
To clean the dispenser:

1. Connect the hose to the appliance.
Loose the ring nut to set it in the cor­rect position.

2. Connect the water inlet hose to the
cold water tap with 3/4 thread.

Caution! Make sure that there are no
leaks from the couplings.

Do not use an extension hose if the in­let hose is too short. Contact the serv­ice centre for the replacement of the in­let hose.

Water-stop device

A

The inlet hose has a water stop device. This
device prevents water leaks in the hose be­cause of its natural ageing. The red sector
in the window «A» shows this fault .
If this occur, close the water tap and con­tact the service centre to replace the hose.

Water drainage

There are different procedures to connect
the drain hose:

With the plastic hose guide.

• On the edge of a sink.

electrolux 21

Make sure that the plastic guide cannot
move when the appliance drains. Attach
the guide to the water tap or the wall.

• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.

Refer to the illustration. Directly into a
drain pipe at a height of not less than 70
cm and not more than 100 cm. The end
of the drain hose must always be ventila­ted , i.e. the inner diameter of the drain­pipe must be larger than the external di­ameter of the drain hose.

Without the plastic hose guide.

• To a sink spigot.

Refer to the illustration. Put the drain
hose in the spigot and tighten it with a
clip. Make sure that the drain hose
makes a loop to prevent that remaining

22 electrolux

particles go in the appliance from the
sink.

• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the
room wall and tighten it with a clip.

You can extend the drain hose to maxi­mum 400 cm. Contact the service cen­tre for the other drain hose and the ex­tension.
