FLUFF IN THE GARMENTS

During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING
PHASE, certain types of fabric, as sponge­cloth, wool, sweatshirt, could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics
during the next cycle.
This drawback increases with technical fab­rics.
To prevent the lint in your clothes, it is rec­ommended:

• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light colored fabrics

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°

60°/50°

40°-30°­Cold

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

• To air-dry this type of fabrics when they
are washed the first time.

• To clean the filter.

• Perform one or more rinse cycles to

drying of fabrics with different colors.

• After the drying phase, thoroughly clean
the empty drum, the gasket and the door
with a wet rag.

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.

electrolux 15

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

1)

acetone

, 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

1)

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.

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 liquid detergents, a programme
without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recom­mendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de­tergent dispenser drawer.

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.

A water softener must be added when
water has a medium-high degree of
hardness (from degree of hardness II).
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The quantity of detergent can then al­ways be adjusted to degree of hard­ness I (= soft).

DRYING HINTS

PREPARING THE DRYING CYCLE

As a dryer, the appliance works on the con­densation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open
and the drain hose must drain water in­to a sink or into the drain pipe, even
during the drying cycle.
Attention!

Before starting the drying programme, re­duce the loads of washed laundry, in order
to obtain good performances.

LAUNDRY NOT SUITABLE FOR
DRYING

• Particularly delicate items such as syn­thetic curtains, woollen and silk, gar­ments with metal inserts, nylon stock­ings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and du­vets must not be machine dried.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light col­oured fluffy items such as towels as
these can attract the fluff.

• Remove the laundry when the appliance
has finished drying.

• To avoid a static charge when drying is
completed, use either a fabric softener
when you are washing the laundry or a
fabric conditioner specifically for tumble
dryers.

• Garments padded with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber must not
be machine dried; they represent a fire
hazard.

• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting
lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or
similar solutions must not be machine
dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours.

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.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation
system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recom­mendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de­tergent dispenser drawer.

GARMENT LABELS

For drying, follow the indications given on
the manufacturer’s labels:

•

= May be tumble dried

•

= Drying at high temperature

•

= Drying at reduced temperature

•

= Do not tumble dry.

DRYING CYCLE DURATION

The drying time may vary depending on:

• speed of the final spin

• dryness degree required (iron dry, store
dry)

•type of laundry

• weight of the load size .

The average drying time for a timed drying
are indicated in the «Drying programmes»
chapter. The experience will help you to dry
your laundry in a more suitable way, ac­cording to the different fabrics. Take note of
the duration drying time of the already per­formed cycles.

ADDITIONAL DRYING

If the laundry is still damp at the end of the
drying programme, select a short drying cy­cle again.

Warning! Do not over dry the
laundry in order to avoid creasing
of fabrics or garment’s shrinking.

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.

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 pro-

gramme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent,

must be a powder with biological proper­ties.

4. Slide out the relevant plastic spacers.

6. Fill the smaller upper hole and the two
large ones with the corresponding plas­tic plug caps supplied in the bag con­taining the instruction booklet.

POSITIONING

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 other kitchen units. Level
the washing machine by raising or lowering
the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as
they incorporate a self locking nut, but the
machine MUST be level and stable. If nec­essary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made
with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents
vibration, noise and displacement of the
machine during operation.

Caution! Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the
machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.

5. Open the porthole and remove the pol­ystyrene block fitted on the door seal.

RUBBER FEET KIT (4055126249)

Available from your authorized dealer.

The rubber feet are particularly recommen­ded on floating, slippery and wooden floors.
Mount the rubber feet to prevent vibration,
noises and displacement of the appliance
during operation.
Read carefully the instructions supplied with
the kit.

WATER INLET

An inlet hose is supplied and can been
found inside the machine drum. Do not use
the hose from your previous machine to
connect to the water supply.

Important! This appliance must be con­nected to a cold water supply.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet
hose.

2. Connect the hose with the angled con­nection to the machine. Do not place
the inlet hose downwards. Angle the
hose to the left or right depending on
the position of your water tap.

35°

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”
thread. Always use the hose supplied
with the appliance.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it
is too short and you do not wish to move
the tap, you will have to purchase a new,
longer hose specially designed for this type
of use.

WATER-STOP DEVICE

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop
device, which protects against damage
caused by water leaks in the hose which
could develop due to natural ageing of the
hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in
the window «A». Should this occur, turn the
water tap off and refer to your Service Cen­tre to replace the hose.

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.

A

WATER DRAINAGE

The end of the drain hose can be posi­tioned in three ways.

• Hooked over the edge of a sink using

the plastic hose guide supplied with the
machine. In this case, make sure the end
cannot come unhooked when the ma-

electrolux 29

chine is emptying. This could be done by
tying it to the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose
and joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.

• In a sink drain pipe branch. This

branch must be above the trap so that
the bend is at least 60 cm above the
ground.

• Directly into a drain pipe at a height of

not less than 60 cm and not more than
90 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 kinked.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Information on the electrical connection is
given on the rating plate on the inner edge
of the appliance door.
Check that your domestic electrical installa­tion can take the maximum load required,
also taking into account any other applian­ces in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed
socket.

The manufacturer does not accept
any responsibility for damage or

injury through failure to comply
with the above safety precaution.

The power supply cable must be
easily accessible after installing the
machine.

Should the appliance power supply
cable need to be replaced, this
must be carried out by a Service
Centre.

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 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.
