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.
Temperatures
95° or 90° |
|
for normally soiled white cot- |
|
tons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, |
|

garments (e.g. shirts, night |

|
synthetic fibres and woollens |
|
Cold |
|
bearing the label «pure new |
|
|
wool, machine washable, non- |
|
|

|
|
|
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.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
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.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the washing programme charts.
General rules:
10 electrolux
•Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;
•Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
•Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum
no more than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

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).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone1), 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 acetone1), 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 temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
Prewash detergent is to be added straight into the drum
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. Pour the liquid detergent into the detergent compartment immediately before you start the programme.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
electrolux 11
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

CARE AND CLEANING
Important! 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.
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.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
1.If necessary, the whole detergent drawer can be taken out of the machine for cleaning. You need to pull it firmly outwards, so that it comes free of retaining stop.
electrolux 13
2.To remove the siphon at the inside edge of the drawer for cleaning, you need to press it inwards and pull it upwards at the same time. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. When you put it back, press it downwards until you hear a distinct click.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
14 electrolux
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
•Turn off the water supply.
•Unscrew the inlet hose from the supply tap.
•Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the programme run for a short time.
•Interrupt the programme by turning the programme selector to 
position.
•Place the end of inlet and drain hoses down low, into the waste gully (floor drain) set into the floor. Make sure that the end of the hose does not go below the water level in the gully's (drain's) water tap.
•Select the programme "Drain" and let it run until it is finished.
•Turn the programme selector to 
position. When you intend to start the ma-
chine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0 °C.
The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacturer is not responsible for any frost damage.
