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.

status.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with ace-

tone

, 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

the fabric first with acetone

1)

, 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 wool­lens only.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

12 electrolux

The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of
the dispenser drawer before starting the
wash programme.
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 pro­gramme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent, must
be a powder with biological properties.

electrolux 17

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.

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 machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise dur-

ing draining due to objects such as safety
pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the appliance.

2. If necessary wait until the water has

cooled down.

3. Open the pump door.

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.

4. Place a container close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

5. Release the emergency emptying hose,

place it in the container and remove its
cap cover.

18 electrolux

6. When no more water comes out, un­screw the pump and remove it. Always
keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of
water when removing the pump.

7. Remove any objects from the pump im­peller by rotating it.

9. Screw the pump fully in.

10. Close the pump door.

Warning! 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 replacing the 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.

8. Put the cap back on the emergency
emptying hose and place the latter back
in its seat.

2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.

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.

6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff
brush or with the piece of cloth.

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:

electrolux 19

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.

What to do if…

Certain problems are due to lack of simple
maintenance or oversights, which can be
solved easily without calling out an engineer.

The display shows the alarm code :

If you are unable to identify or solve the prob­lem, contact our service centre. Before tele­phoning, make a note of the model, serial
number and purchase date of your machine:
the Service Centre will require this informa­tion.

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.

• Redistribute the laundry.

The load is too small.

• 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.

Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow
these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed

without prewashing in order to save deter­gent, water and time (the environment is
protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it

is fully loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and

limited soiling can be removed; the laundry
can then be washed at a lower tempera­ture.

• Measure out detergent according to the

water hardness, the degree of soiling and
the quantity of laundry being washed.
