Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation
1061/2010, the “Cottons Eco 60° C” and “Cottons 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.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared

for the selected programme.

6.1 Consumption values

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maxi­mum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated
and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load
capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 7 kg, the programme du­ration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme duration don’t reach 1
hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks in
the display.

The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the data:
the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.

13.1 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.

13.2 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.

13.3 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.

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

13.4 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).

Water hardness table

Level Type

1 soft 0-7 0-15 0-1.5 0-9

2 medium 8-14 16-25 1.6-2.5 10-16

is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance
wash. To do this:

• 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.

14.4 Door seal

Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part.

14.5 Drum

Regularly examine the drum to prevent
limescale and rust particles.
Only use special products to remove rust
particles from the drum.
To do this:

• Clean the drum with special product for
stainless steel.

16.5 Water drainage

There are different procedures to connect
the drain hose:

With the plastic hose guide.

• On the edge of a sink.

ENGLISH 27

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

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.

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.

www.electrolux.com

28

Refer to the illustration. Directly into a
drain pipe at a height of not less than
60 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

17. ENVIRONMENT CONCERNS

clip. Make sure that the drain hose
makes a loop to prevent that remaining
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.

Recycle the materials with the symbol
