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. 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).
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
the display is reduced. By pressing any but­ton the appliance will come out of the ener­gy saving status.
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only). Ball point pen and glue: moisten with
1)
acetone
, 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
1)
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. 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 tem-
perature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for wool-
lens only. The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
12 electrolux
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.

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.

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 pro-
gramme.
• 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.
Detergent dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer
by pulling it firmly.
2. Remove the conditioner insert from the
middle compartment.
3. Clean all parts with water.
4. Put the conditioner insert in as far as it will go, so that it is firmly in place.
5. Clean all parts of the washing machine, especially the nozzles in the top of the washing-in chamber, with a brush.
6. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in the guide rails and push it in.
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. 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 appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter “What to do if...” for more details).
Warning! Before opening the pump door, switch the appliance off remove the mains plug from the socket.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
6. Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap.
7. When no more water comes out, un­screw the pump cover by turning it an­ti-clockwise and remove the filter. Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillages when removing the cover. Clean the fil­ter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff.
8. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the filter seat and from the pump impel­ler.
4. Pull flap forward to remove.
5. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.
electrolux 19
9. Check carefully whether the pump im­peller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it doesn’t rotate, please contact your Service Centre.
10. Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat.
11. Replace the filter into the pump by in­serting it correctly into the special guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by turning it clockwise.
12. Refit the flap and close the pump door.
Warning!
3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make sure the connection is tight.
5. Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep a rug nearby because some water may flow.
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 refitting the pump cover, ensure it is se­curely re-tightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters Important! If the appliance doesn't fill,
takes long to fill water, the starting button blinks yellow or the display (if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..." for more details), check if the water inlet filters are blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.
6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with the piece of cloth.
20 electrolux
7. Screw the hose back to the machine and make sure the connection is tight.
8. Turn on the water tap.
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. close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap;
2. 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;
3. screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice forming and consequently damage to the appliance. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient 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.

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 some minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin.
• The laundry load is perhaps to little, add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning programme.
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.
Anti-flooding system has activated.
• Disconnect the appliance, close the water tap and contact the Service Force Centre
