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.
14 electrolux
• 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
• 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.
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.
to the type of stain and fabric.
Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives spe­cially made for washing machines.

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.
electrolux 15
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.

• Clean the drum with special product for stainless steel.
• Start a short programme for cotton at the maximum temperature with a small quan­tity of detergent.
6. Put back the dispenser in the recess.
Drain pump
Regularly examine the drain pump and make sure that it is clean.
