“Baumwolle Eco/ Coton Eco 60° C” and “Baumwolle Eco/ Coton Eco 40° C” are respectively the “standard 60° C
cotton programme” and the “standard 40° C cotton programme”. They are the most efficient programmes in
terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

Steam Refresh
(Dampf Auffrischen / Rafraîchir Vapeur)
This cycle removes odours from the

Steam does not remove animal
odours.

Steam Dewrinkle

1)

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.

electrolux 15

• 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.

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 deter-

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

WATER HARDNESS

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

CARE AND CLEANING

Warning!

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.

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