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.

• 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
to the type of stain and fabric.

Detergents and additives

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.

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

A

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.

Water drainage

There are different procedures to connect
the drain hose:

With the plastic hose guide.

• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.

Refer to the illustration. Directly into a
drain pipe at a height of not less than 70
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.

• On the edge of a sink.

Make sure that the plastic guide cannot
move when the appliance drains. Attach
the guide to the water tap or the wall.

Refer to the illustration. Put the drain
hose in the spigot and tighten it with a
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.

electrolux 23

You can extend the drain hose to maxi­mum 400 cm. Contact the service cen-

tre for the other drain hose and the ex­tension.
