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, deli-
cates, woollens.
TEMPERATURES
95° or 90°
for normally soiled white cot-
tons and linen (e.g. tea cloths,
towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
60°/50°
for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night
dresses, pyjamas....) in linen,
cotton or synthetic fibres and
for lightly soiled white cotton
(e.g. underwear)
40°-30°-
Cold
for delicate items (e.g. net cur-
tains), mixed laundry including
synthetic fibres and woollens
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.

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 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.
Prewash detergent is to be added
straight into the drum
If using liquid detergents, a programme
without prewash must be selected. Pour
the liquid detergent into the detergent com-
partment immediately before you start the
programme.
electrolux 11
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.
DEGREES OF WATER HARDNESS
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” 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.

2) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values
According to regulation 1061/2010, the “COTTON ECO 60 °C” and “COTTON ECO 40 °C” are respectively the
“standard 60 °C cotton programme” and the “standard 40 °C cotton programme”. They are the most efficient
programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected pro-
gramme.
CARE AND CLEANING
Important! 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 manu-
facturer's instructions. This will help to pre-
vent the formation of lime deposits.
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.
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
thoroughly.
CLEANING THE DISPENSER DRAWER
The washing powder and additive dispens-
er drawer should be cleaned regularly.
1. If necessary, the whole detergent draw-
er can be taken out of the machine for
cleaning. You need to pull it firmly out-
wards, so that it comes free of retaining
stop.
2. To remove the siphon at the inside
edge of the drawer for cleaning, you
need to press it inwards and pull it up-
wards at the same time. Flush it out un-
der a tap, to remove any traces of ac-
cumulated powder. When you put it
back, press it downwards until you
hear a distinct click.
14 electrolux
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 pro-
gramme without any clothes in the drum.
CLEANING THE WATER INLET FILTER
If your water is very hard or contains traces
of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may be-
come 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 bris-
tle 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.
Turn off the water supply.
Unscrew the inlet hose from the supply
tap.
Select a wash programme, start the ma-
chine and let the programme run for a
short time.
Interrupt the programme by turning the
programme selector to
position.
Place the end of inlet and drain hoses

Problem Possible cause/Solution
The machine vibrates is
noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.
Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
Load more laundry.
Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redis-
tributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can
resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distrib-
uted in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case ,redistrib-
ute the load manually and select the spin programme.
Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select
the spinning programme.
No water is visible in the
drum:
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.
If you are unable to identify or solve the
problem, contact our service centre. Before
telephoning, make a note of the model, se-
rial number and purchase date of your ma-
chine: the Service Centre will require this in-
formation.

etc. Check that the machine does not
touch the wall or furniture. Level the wash-
ing machine by raising or lowering the two
front feet. If necessary, check the setting
with a spirit level. Any necessary adjustment
can be made with a spanner. Accurate lev-
elling prevents vibration, noise and dis-
placement of the machine during operation.

plied restrictor (1/2”).
Important! Do not use the hose from
your previous machine to connect to
the water supply.
2. The machine end of the inlet hose can
be turned in any direction. Set the hose
correctly by loosening the ring nut. Af-
ter positioning the inlet hose, be sure to
tighten the ring nut again to prevent
leaks.
