HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each gar-

ment label and the manufacturer’s washing

instructions. Sort the laundry as follows:

whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates,

woollens.

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 sep-

arately the first time.

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.

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by

just water and detergent. It is therefore ad-

visable 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 turpen-

tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and

dab the stain with the fingertips and a cot-

ton 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).

electrolux 11

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with ace-

tone

1)

, 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 acetone

1)

, then with ace-

tic acid; treat any residual marks on white

fabrics with bleach and then rinse thorough-

ly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, me-

thylated spirits or benzine, then rub with de-

tergent 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 en-

vironment.

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 de-

tergents 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 wool-

lens 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 recom-

mendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de-

tergent dispenser drawer .

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will de-

pend on the type of fabric, load size, de-

gree of soiling and hardness of the water

used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instruc-

tions 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 wash-

ing.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “de-

grees” of hardness. Information on hard-

ness of the water in your area can be ob-

tained from the relevant water supply com-

pany, or from your local authority. If the wa-

ter hardness degree is medium or high we

suggest you to add a water softener follow-

ing always the manufacturer’s instructions.

When the degree of hardness is soft, read-

just the quantity of the detergent.

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 manufac-

turer'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 form-

ing 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 in-

side the drum.

We recommend that a maintenance wash

be performed on a regular basis.

electrolux 15

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 proper-

ties.

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance

with soap and water only, and then dry thor-

oughly.

Important! Do not use methylated spirits,

solvents or similar products to clean the

cabinet.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The detergent dispenser drawer should be

cleaned regularly.

The washing powder and additive dispens-

er 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. Clean all

parts with water.

Clean the chamber of dispenser drawer

with a brush.

Washing drum

Rust deposits in the drum may occur due

to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or

tap water containing iron.

Important! Do not clean the drum with

acidic descaling agents, scouring agents

containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.

1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum

with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.

2. Run a washing cycle without any wash-

ing to clean off any cleaning agent resi-

dues.

Programme: Short Cotton Programme

at maximum temperature and add ap-

prox. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and

eliminate eventual possible objects that

could be trapped in the fold.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly

and particularly if:

• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;

• the appliance makes an unusual noise dur-

ing 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 de-

tails).

Warning! Before opening the pump

door, switch the appliance off and

remove the mains plug from the socket.

Proceed as follows:

1. Unplug the appliance.

2. If it is necessary, wait until the water

has cooled down.

3. Open the pump door.

4. Place a container close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

5. Pull out the emergency emptying hose,

place it in the container and remove its

cap.

6. When no more water comes out, un-

screw the pump cover by turning it anti-

clockwise and remove the filter. Use pli-

ers, if necessary. Always keep a rag

nearby to dry up any water spillages

when removing the cover.

Clean the filter under a tap, to remove

any traces of fluff.

7. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from

the filter seat and from the pump impel-

ler.

electrolux 17

8. Check carefully whether the pump im-

peller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it

doesn’t rotate, please contact your

Service Centre.

9. Put the cap back on the emergency

emptying hose and place the latter

back in its seat.

10. Replace the filter into the pump by in-

serting it correctly into the special

guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by

turning it clockwise.

11. Close the pump door.

Warning!

When the appliance is in use and depend-

ing 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

refitting the pump cover, ensure it is secure-

ly re-tightened so as to stop leaks and

young children being able to remove it.

Cleaning the water inlet filters

If you notice that the machine is taking lon-

ger to fill, check that the filter in the water in-

let hose is not blocked.

1. Turn off the water tap.

2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.

3. Clean the filter in the hose using a hard

bristle brush.

18 electrolux

4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

5. Unscrew the hose from the machine.

Keep a rug nearby because some water

may flow.

6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff

brush or with the piece of cloth.

7. Screw the hose back to the machine

and make sure the connection is tight.

8. Turn on the water tap.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as

follows to empty out the machine:

1. pull out the plug from the power socket;

2. close the water tap;

3. if necessary, wait until the water has

cooled down;

4. open the pump door;

5. place a bowl on the floor and place the

end of the emergency emptying hose in-

to the bowl. Remove its cap. The water

should drain by gravity into the bowl.

When the bowl is full, put the cap back

on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat

the procedure until water stops flowing

out;

6. clean the pump if necessary as previous-

ly described;

7. replace the emergency emptying hose

in its seat after having plugged it;

8. screw the pump again and close the

door.

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where

the temperature could drop below 0°C, pro-

ceed as follows:

1. close the water tap and unscrew the wa-

ter inlet hose from the tap;

2. place the end of the emergency empty-

ing hose and that of the inlet hose in a

bowl placed on the floor and let water

drain out;

3. screw the water inlet hose back on and

reposition the emergency emptying

hose after having put the cap on again.

By doing this, any water remaining in the ma-

chine is removed, avoiding ice forming and

consequently damage to the appliance.

When you use the machine again, make

sure that the ambient temperature is above

0°C.

Important! Every time you drain the water

through the emergency emptying hose you

must pour 2 litres of water into the main

wash compartment of the detergent drawer

and then run the drain programme. This will

activate the ECO Valve device avoiding

that part of the detergent remains unused

at next washing.
