13. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

13.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white,
coloured, synthetics, delicates and
wool.

• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.

• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.

• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first couple of times.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.

• Pre-treat stubborn stains.

• Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent.

• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:

a. interrupt the programme and

open the door (refer to "Daily
Use" chapter);

b. manually redistribute the load so

that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;

c. press the Start/Pause button.

The spin phase continues.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,
cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or
with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash
small and/or delicate items (e.g.
underwired bras, belts, tights,
shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

ENGLISH 33

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

13.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.

We recommend that you pre-treat 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.

Do not spray stain remover on garments
near the appliance as it is corrosive to
the plastic parts.

13.3 Detergent type and quantity

The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the environment:

www.electrolux.com34

• Use only detergents and other
treatments specially made for
washing machines. First, follow these
generic rules:

– powder detergents (also tablets

and single-dose detergents) for all
types of fabric, excluding delicate.
Prefer powder detergents
containing bleach for whites and
laundry sanitization,

– liquid detergents (also single-dose

detergents) , preferably for low
temperature wash programmes
(60 °C max) for all types of fabric,
or special ones for woollens only.

• The choice and quantity of detergent
will depend on: type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the
colour of clothes, size of the load,
degree of soiling, wash temperature
and hardness of the water used.

• Follow the instructions that you find
on packaging of the detergents or
other treatments without exceeding

the indicated maximum level (

• Do not mix different types of
detergents.

• Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam

during washing.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,

• the wash load to turn grey,

• greasy clothes,

• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,

• reduced washing effect,

• inadequate rinsing,

• a greater impact for the environment.

13.4 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 prewash in order to
save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).

• Loading the appliance to the

maximum capacity indicated for
each programmes helps to reduce
energy and water consumption.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.

• Set the maximum possible spin
speed for the selected washing
programme before drying your
laundry in a tumble dryer. This will

).

save energy during drying!

13.5 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 find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of water
softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.

14. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

14.1 Periodic cleaning schedule

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the
life of your appliance.

After each cycle, keep the door and the
detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air
circulation and dry the humidity inside

the appliance: this will prevent mildew
and odours.

If the appliance is not used for a long
time: close the water tap and unplug the
appliance.

Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

Descaling Twice a year

Maintenance wash Once a month

ENGLISH 35

Clean door seal Every two months

Clean drum Every two months

Clean detergent
dispenser

Clean drain pump
filter

Clean the inlet
hose and the valve
filter

The following paragraphs explain how
you should clean each part.

Every two months

Twice a year

Twice a year

14.2 Removing foreign objects

Make sure that pockets are
empty and all loose
elements are tied up before
running your cycle. Refer to
'The laundry load' in 'Hints
and tips'.

Remove any foreign objects (such as
metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you
may find in the door seal, the filters and
the drum. Refer to 'Door seal with double
lip trap', 'Cleaning the drum', 'Cleaning
the drain pump' and 'Cleaning the inlet
hose and the valve filter' paragraphs. If
necessary, please contact the Authorised
Service Centre.

14.3 External cleaning

Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the
surfaces. Do not use a scouring pads or
any scratching material.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.

14.4 Descaling

If the water hardness in your
area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a
water descaling product for
washing machines.

Regularly examine the drum to check for
limescale.

Regular detergents already contain water
softening agents, but we recommend to
run a cycle with an empty drum and a
descaling product.

Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.

14.5 Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues,
bacterial growth inside the drum and the
tub. This could generate bad odours and
mildew. To eliminate these deposits and
clean the inner part of the appliance, run
a maintenance wash regularly (at least
once a month).

Refer to "Cleaning the drum"
paragraph.

14.6 Door seal with double lip trap

This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light
fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be
drained out with the water. Regularly
examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other
small items can be recovered at the end
of the cycle.

CAUTION!

Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.

2

1

www.electrolux.com36

Clean it when needed, using ammonia
cream cleanser agent without scratching
the seal surface.

Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.

Check and remove objects (if there are
any) that could be trapped in the fold.

Make sure that no laundry remains
between the seal and the door.

Use a moist cloth to wipe off any dirt or
water residue left behind in the door seal
after completion of program cycle.

14.7 Cleaning the drum

Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.

Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign body in the washing or
tap water containing iron

Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.

Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling products,
scouring products containing
chlorine or iron or steel wool.

14.8 Cleaning the detergent

dispenser

To prevent possible deposits of dried
detergent, clotted fabric softener,
formation of mould in the detergent
dispenser, once in a while carry out the
following cleaning procedure:

1. Open the detergent dispenser. Press

the catch downwards as indicated in
the picture and pull it out.

2. Remove the container for liquid

detergent, if inserted.

For a thorough clean:

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.

2. Run a Cottons programme with the

highest temperature.

3. Add a small quantity of powder
detergent into the empty drum, in
order to rinse out any left residues.

Occasionally, at the end of a
cycle the display may show

the icon : this is a
recommendation to perform
the “drum cleaning”. Once
the drum cleaning has been
performed, the icon
disappears.

3. Lift up the top cover of the
compartments to remove it.

4. Wash the detergent dispenser and
any insert under running water.
