Washing hints

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.

Temperatures

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 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.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

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.

cottons and linen (e.g. tea

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
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.

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.

If using concentrated powder or liquid
detergents, a programme without
prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a
recirculation system which allows an
optimal use of the concentrated
detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser
drawer compartment marked just
before starting the programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives

20 electrolux washing hints

Follow the product manufacturer’s
recommendations on quantities to use
and do not exceed the «MAX» mark

in the detergent dispenser drawer.

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.

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.

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.

with the Rinse Hold or Night Cycle option.
Turn first the programme selector dial to «O», then select
programme Drain and depress the Start/Pause button.

Spin

Separate spin for hand washed garments and after
programmes with Rinse Hold or Night Cycle option.
Before selecting this programme the selector dial must be
turned to «O». You can choose the speed by means of the

silk items.

26 electrolux care and cleaning

Care and cleaning

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.

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.
Remove the drawer by pressing the
catch downwards and by pulling it out.
Flush it out under a tap, to remove any
traces of accumulated powder.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the
additive compartment should be
removed.

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.

C0067

C0066

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected if

• the machine does not empty and/or
spin

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

Proceed as follows:

• disconnect the appliance.

• if the appliance is operating, wait, if
necessary, until the water has cooled
down.

• open the pump door levering on the
groove with a coin or with the
suitable tool, that you can find in the
bag containing the instruction
booklet (or fitted on the appropriate
recess behind the detergent
dispenser drawer depending on the
model).

• place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage

• pull out the emergency emptying cap
from the filter cover, using a pliers.

• when no more water comes out,
unscrew the pump cover, using a
pliers, and remove the filter.

• Remove any objects from the pump
impeller by rotating it.

• replace the filter into the pump
paying attention to insert it properly.
When done, screw it firmly

• replace the emergency emptying cap
into the filter cover and fix it firmly

• Close the pump door.

Warning!

When the appliance is in use and
depending on the programme selected
there can be hot water in the pump.

Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle, always wait until the
appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the cover,
ensure it is securely retightened so as
to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.

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.

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:

• pull out the plug from the power
socket;

• turn off the water tap.

• unscrew the inlet hose.

• place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage
from the emergency emptying hose.
Place the end of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let
water drain out.

• screw the water inlet hose back on
and reposition the emergency
emptying cap on again into the filter
cover.

• when you intend to start the machine
up again, make sure that the room
temperature is above 0°C.

P1090

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed
as follows to empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power
socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;

• open the pump door using a
screwdriver;

• place a bowl with a small edge close
to the pump to collect any spillage.
Remove the emergency emptying
cap from the filter cover. The water
should drain by gravity into the bowl.
When the bowl is full, put the cap
back on filter cover. Empty the bowl.
Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as
previously described;

• replace the filter into the pump and
screw it firmly as previously
described;

• replace the emergency emptying cap
into the filter cover and close the
pump door.

Note !

Installation should comply with
local water authority and building
regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe
operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water
connection direct from the rising mains,
you may be able to operate the
appliance from your cold water storage
system.

P1088

There should be a minimum distance
of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be
permanently plumbed into your home's
drainage system using one of the
following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the
drain hose using the «U» piece
supplied.

Place the drain hose into your
standpipe, which should have an
internal diameter of approximately
38mm thus ensuring there is an air
break between the drain hose and
standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe
ensure that the top of the standpipe is
no more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no
less than 60 cm (23.6'') above floor
level.

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 soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to
the water hardness, the degree of
soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
