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,
		towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
		for normally soiled, colour fast
		garments (e.g. shirts, night
60°/50°		dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
		cotton or synthetic fibres and
		for lightly soiled white cotton
		(e.g. underwear)
		for delicate items (e.g. net cur-
40°-30°-		tains), mixed laundry including
		synthetic fibres and woollens
Cold		bearing the label «pure new
		wool, machine washable, non-
		shrink»

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:

•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

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

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.

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. Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

electrolux 13

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.

Use less detergent if:

•you are washing a small load

•the laundry is lightly soiled

•large amounts of foam form during washing.

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.

FIRST USE

•Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions.

•Remove the polystyrene block and any material from the drum.

•Pour 2 litres of water into the main

wash compartment of the detergent drawer in order to activate the

ECO valve. Then run a cotton cycle at the highest temperature without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the main wash compartment and start the machine.

DAILY USE

Load the laundry

Open the door by carefully pulling the door handle outwards. Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a time, shaking them out as much as possible. Close the door. Make sure that no laundry stays between the seal and the door. There is a risk of water leakage or damage to the laundry.

Measure out the detergent and the fabric softener

14 electrolux

Pull out the dispenser drawer until it stops. Measure out the amount of detergent required, pour it into the main wash compartment or in the appropriate compartment if the selected programme/option it requires (see more details in «Detergent dispenser drawer»).

If required, pour fabric softener into the compartment marked (the amount used must not exceed the «MAX» mark in the drawer). Close the drawer gently.

ALTERING AN OPTION OR A RUNNING PROGRAMME

It is possible to change some options before the programme carries them out . Before you make any change, you must PAUSE the appliance by pressing the button 8 (if you wish to change the Time Manager option, you must cancel the running programme and make your selection again).

Changing a running programme is possible only by resetting it. Turn the programme selector dial to and then to the new programme position. Start the new programme by pressing the button 8 again. The washing water in the tub will be not emptied out.

OPENING THE DOOR

After the programme has started (or during the delay time) the door is locked, if you need to open it, set first the machine to PAUSE by pressing the button 8.

After a few minutes the pilot light 9 goes out and it is possible to open the door.

If this pilot light remains lit, this means that the machine is already heating or that the water level is too high. In any case, do not try to force the door!

If you cannot open the door but you need to open it you have to switch the machine

off by turning the selector dial to O. After a few minutes the door can be opened (pay attention to the water level and temperature!).

After closing the door, it is necessary to select the programme and options again and to press button 8.

AT THE END OF THE PROGRAMME

The machine stops automatically. Three blinking 0.00 appear on the display and the pilot light of button 8 goes off. Some acoustic signals sound.

If a programme or an option that ends with water left in the tub has been set, the door remains locked to indicate that the water must be emptied out before opening the door.

Before you empty out the water, the drum continues to run at regular intervals until the water draining.

Remove the laundry from the drum and carefully check that the drum is empty. If you do not intend to carry out another wash, close the water tap. Leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant smells.

CARE AND CLEANING

Warning! 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.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.

DOOR SEAL

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.

CLEANING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out.

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if:

•The appliance does not empty and/or spin.

•The appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

•A problem with water draining is detected (see chapter “What to do if...” for more details).
