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.

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.
electrolux 17

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.
