6. WASHING HINTS
19
6.1 Sorting 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.
6.2 Temperatures
For normally soiled white cottons
and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels,
90°C
tablecloths, sheets...).
For normally soiled, colourfast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pajamas....) in linen,
60°C
cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g.underwear).
For delicate items (e.g. net
curtains), mixed laundry
40°C
including synthetic fibres and
30°C
woollens bearing the label pure
Cold
new wool, machine washable,
non-shrink.
6.3 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.
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 a net.
6.4 Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
program charts. General rules:
Cotton, linen:
Synthetics:
Delicate fabrics
and woollens:
Washing a maximum load makes the
most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the
load size.
drum full but not too
tightly packed;
drum no more than
half full;
drum no more than
one third full.
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.
Wash bras, pantyhose and other
delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which
you can purchase from your
supermarket.
Make sure that you wash lint collectors
separately from lint producers.
6.5 Removing Stains
WARNING!
Pre-treatment sprays and stain
remover can damage plastic
components on your washing machine.
If you use pre-treatment sprays or
stain removers, apply them to the
clothing well away from your washing
machine.
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.
Page 20
20 www.electrolux.com
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 in cold
water. 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
acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft
cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone (*) as
above, then treat stains with methylated
spirits. Remove any residual marks from
white fabrics 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 (*),
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.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
Quantity of detergent to be used
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.
Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which in large
quantities can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
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 soil ;
wash temperature ; and
hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified by 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.
You may have to try using the detergent
quantity as per manufacturers’
instructions then compare the wash result
to the list below and adjust the amount of
detergent for your future washes
accordingly.
Not enough washing powder causes:
the washload to turn grey,
greasy clothes.
6.6 Detergents Type And
Quantity Of Detergent
Low sudsing detergent is required for this
washing machine to prevent oversudsing
problems, unsatisfied washing result and
harm to the machine. Low sudsing
detergents designed for front load
washing machines are labelled “Front
Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as
Cold Power for Front Loaders or “Matic”.
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Handwash
detergent or Soap-Based products in
your frontload washing machine. This
can result in excessive suds, longer
cycle time, low spin speeds, poor
rinsing and overloading of the motor.
Too much washing powder causes:
sudsing,
reduced washing effect,
inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if:
you are washing a small load,
the laundry is lightly soiled,
large amounts of foam during washing.

8.2 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.
8.3 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.

find these caps in the user manual bag.
11.2 Positioning
It is important that your washing
machine stands firm and leveled
on the floor to ensure correct
operation. The appliance must not
be installed behind a lockable
door, a sliding door or a door with
a hinge on the opposite side to
avoid restricting the washing
machine door.
Use a spirit level on the top and
side of the washing machine to
check the levels.
If you do not have a spirit level, as a
guide use the edge of a door frame,
cupboard or bench to check that the
washing machine is leveled.
Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust
the level. A correct adjustment of the
appliance level prevents vibration,
noise and the movement of the
appliance when in operation.
Page 31

When the washing machine is levelled,
try to rock it from corner to corner. If it
does rock, adjust the legs again until it is
levelled and does not rock.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor. Install the machine on a flat hard
floor. Make sure that air circulation
around the machine is not impeded by
carpets, rugs etc.
Check that the machine does not touch
the wall or cupboard units.
11.3 Water Inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap
with 3/4” BSP thread.
Use the hose supplied with the washing
machine. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.
Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to
the left or right depending on the position
of your water tap. Do not place the inlet
hose downwards. After positioning the
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
11.4 Water Drainage

Max. 90 cm
Min. 60 cm
The end of the drain hose must always
be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of
the drain pipe must be larger than the
outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be twisted or
curled. Run it along the floor; only the
part near the drainage point must be
raised.
For the correct functioning of the
machine, the drain hose must remain
hooked on the proper support piece
situated on the top part of back side of
the appliance.
11.5 Electrical Connection
This machine is designed to operate on a
220-240 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.
“An incorrect power supply may void
your warranty.”
Check that your domestic electrical
installation can take the maximum load
required (2.0 kW), also taking into
account any other appliances in use.
CAUTION!
Connect the machine to an
earthed socket outlet.
The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or
injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.
Should the appliance power
supply cable need to be
replaced, this shall be carried
out by our Service Centre.
When the appliance is installed, the power
supply cable must be easily accessible.

12.3 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 soil can be
removed; the laundry can then
be washed at a lower
temperature.
Measure out detergent according
to the water hardness, the
degree of soil and the quantity of
laundry being washed.
