Instructions for usefor use

1 Safety

The safety of ELECTROLUX electrical appliances

conforms to the recognised technical regulations

and the legislation covering the safety of appliances.

However, as manufacturers, we still regard it as our

responsibility to inform you of the following safety

information.

Prior to initial start-up

• Refer to the ”Installation and Connection

Instructions” later in this user information.

• When the unit is delivered in winter months with

minus temperatures: Store the washing machine

for 24 hours at room temperature before putting it

into operation.

Correct Use

• The washing machine is only designed for normal

domestic washing. If the unit is used for purposes

other than that for which it is designed, the manu-

facturer can accept no liability for any resulting

damages.

• For safety reasons, conversions or modifications

to the washing machine are not permissible.

• Use only detergents which are suitable for wash-

ing machines. Follow the washing detergent man-

ufacturer's instructions.

• The washing must not contain any flammable sol-

vents. Also remember this when washing pre-

cleaned washing.

• Do not use the washing machine for chemical

cleaning.

• Dyes/dye removers may only be used in washing

machines if the manufacturer expressly allows

these products. We cannot be held liable for any

resulting damage.

• Use only water from the water mains. Use rainwa-

ter or service water only if it meets the require-

ments outlined in DIN1986 and DIN1988.

• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If

the washing machine is in a room which is at risk

from frost, an emergency emptying operation

must be carried out when there is a frost risk (see

the section ”Carry Out Emergency Emptying”).

Child Safety

• Packaging components (e.g. films, polystyrene)

can be hazardous to children. Risk of suffocation!

Keep packaging away from children.

• Children often cannot recognise the hazards

associated with handling electrical appliances.

Therefore, ensure the necessary supervision dur-

ing operation and do not allow children to play

with the washing machine – there is a risk that

children can get trapped inside.

• Ensure that children or small animals cannot

climb into the washing machine's drum.

• When disposing of the washing machine: Pull out

the mains plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the

electrical supply lead and throw away the plug

and the left-over cable. This means that children

at play cannot shut themselves inside and in so

doing be in danger.

General Safety

• Repairs to the washing machine may only be car-

ried out by qualified specialists. Incorrect repairs

may result in significant risk to the user. If repairs

are necessary, consult our customer service or

your specialist dealer.

• Never use the washing machine if the mains

cable is damaged or the conrol panel, work sur-

face or base panel area are so badly damaged

that the interior of the unit is openly accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine before carrying

out cleaning, care and maintenance work. Also

pull the mains plug out of the socket or, – if it is

permanently connected, – switch off the circuit

breaker at the household power distribution box

or completely remove the screw-in fuse.

• Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the

socket. Always

pull the plug itself.

• Multiple connectors, couplings and extension

cables must not be used. There is a risk of fire

with overheating!

• Do not spray down the washing machine with a

water jet. Risk of electric shock!

• The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of

wash programmes with high temperatures. Do

not touch!

• Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying

out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning

the drain pump.

• Small animals can chew the power cables and

water hoses. Risk of electric shock and danger of

water damage! Keep small animals away from the

washing machine.

2 Disposal

Dispose the packing material!

Dispose of your washing machine's packaging cor-

rectly. All the packaging materials used are harmless

to the environment and can be recycled.

• Plastic parts are marked with standard interna-

tional abbreviations:

• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recy-

cled paper and should be deposited in the waste

paper collection for recycling.

Dispose the old appliance!

When you finally put your appliance out of operation,

please bring it to your nearest recycling centre or to

your dealer.

2 Environment Tipsronment Tips

• The pre-wash cycle is not required for averagely

dirty washing. This saves washing powder/liquid,

water and time (and does not harm the environ-

ment).

• The washing machine is especially economical

when you fully utilise the stated filling quantities.

• For small amounts of washing, use only half to

two thirds the recommended amount of washing

powder/liquid.

• Suitable pretreatment enables stains and small

amounts of dirt to be removed. You can then

wash at a lower temperature.

• Use the energy-saving program to wash gar-

ments which are lightly to moderately dirty.

• There is often no need for conditioner. Try it once!

If you use a dryer, your washing will become soft

and velvety even without conditioner.

• In the case of medium to high water hardness,

(hardness range II or higher, see ”Washing and

Care Agents”), you should use water softener.

The washing powder/liquid can then always be

metered for hardness range I (= soft).

material

(always CFC-free)

washing program to the dirtiness of the washing.

Additional programs are not required for washing

which is not excessively dirty.

Various functions can be combined with each other,

depending on the program.

PRE WASH (Vorwäsche, Prélavage)

Warm pre wash before the main washing cycle which

follows on automatically; with intermediate spin for

COTTONS/LINEN (Koch-/Buntwäsche, Couleurs),

without intermediate spin for EASY-CARES (Pflege-

leicht, Textiles Melanges) and DELICATES (Fein-

wäsche, Délicat).

SOAKING (Einweichen, Trempage)

Approx. 50 minutes at 30 °C. Extendable with the

button DELAY TIMER (Zeitvorwahl, Départ Différé) to

max. 10 hours and approx. 20 minutes. This is fol-

lowed automatically by the main wash.

QUICK WASH (Kurz, Court)

program, it is not possible to select the addi-

tional programs (any pressed buttons have

no effect).

Consumption Data and Wash TimesData and Wash TimesTimes

The values for selected programs in the following tables were determined under standard conditions. However,

there is a helpful orientation aid for domestic operation.

Water Protection Aqua Control Protection Aqua Control ua Control

In the event of damage to the supply hose, the sys-

tem blocks the further supply of water to the unit

directly at the water tap.

If water escapes elsewhere, the drainage pump

automatically pumps off – even if the unit is switched

off. The washing machine merely has to be con-

nected to the electricity mains.

Before the First Washfore the First WashWash

Carry out a washing operation without washing.

Prepare the Washing Cyclethe Washing CycleCycle

Sort and Prepare the Washing

• Sort the washing according to care codes and

type (see ”Washing Types and Care Codes”).

•Empty pockets.

• Remove metal parts (paper clips, safety pins

etc.).

• To prevent washing damage and washing snags:

Close zip fasteners, button closed bed covers

and pillow cases, and tie together ribbons, e.g. on

aprons.

• Use clothing made of double-layer fabric (sleep-

ing bag, anorak etc.).

• On knitted, coloured textiles and on wool and tex-

tiles with fitted decorations: Turn inside out.

• Wash small and sensitive items (baby socks,

stockings, tights, bras etc.) in a washing net, a

cushion with a zip fastener or in larger socks.

• Treat curtains with particular care. Remove small

metal rollers or small, burred rollers or tie them in

a net or in a bag. We cannot accept any liability

for damage.

• Do not wash coloureds and whites together in

one washing cycle. Otherwise, whites will discol-

our or turn grey.

• New coloureds often contain surplus dye. It is

best to wash such items separately the first time.

• Mix small and large items of washing! This

speeds up theeffect of washing and the washing

is more favourably distributed during spinning.

• Loosen up the washing before loading it into the

washing machine.

• Put the washing into the drum folded out.

• Pay attention to the care instructions ”Wash sep-

arately” and ”Wash separately several times”!

Washing Types and Care CodesTypes and Care Codes

The care codes help you choose the correct washing

program. The washing should be sorted according to

type and care code. The temperatures stated in the

care codes are all maximum values.

Cottons ç

Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care code

are insensitive to mechanical stress and high tem-

peratures. The program COTTONS/LINEN (Koch-/

Buntwäsche, Couleurs) is suitable for this type of

washing.

Linen èë

Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care code

are insensitive to mechanical stresses. The program

COTTONS/LINEN (Koch-/Buntwäsche, Couleurs) is

suitable for this type of washing.

Easy-Care Garments êí

Textiles such as finished cottons, cotton mixtures,

viscose and synthetics with this care code require

mechanically more mild treatment. The program

EASY-CARES/EASY IRON (Pflegeleicht, Textiles

Melanges/Leichtbügeln, Fâcile à Repasser) is suita-

ble for this type of washing.

Delicates ì

Textiles such as layered fibres, microfibres, viscose,

synthetics and curtains with this care code require

very gentle treatment. The program DELICATES

(Feinwäsche, Délicat) is suitable for this type of

washing.

Wool and Very Sensitive Washing

9ìï

Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with

this care code are especially sensitive to mechanical

stresses. The program WOOL (Wolle, Laine)/P

(handwash) is suitable for this type of textiles.

Attention! Textiles with the care code

(Do not

wash!) must not be washed in the washing machine!

Washing Detergents and Care Agents

Which washing detergent and care

agent?

Use only washing detergents and care agents which

are suitable for use in washing machines. Always fol-

low the manufacturer's instructions.

How much washing detergent and

care agent?

The amount to be used depends on:

• the dirtiness of the washing

• the hardness category of the mains water supply

• the filling quantity

If the detergent manufacturer gives no

details of the dosing quantities for minimum

loads, add one third less for half loads and,

in the case of very small loads and for EASY

IRON (Leichtbügeln, Fâcile à Repasser), only

half the amount of detergent recommended

for a full load.

Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's

instructions on use and dosage.

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness cate-

gory II or higher) you should use water softener. Pay

attention to the manufacturer's instructions. Always

then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft).

The responsible water works can provide information

on the local water hardness.

Since the water softener is added before the

main washing detergent, (water pre-soften-

ing), eighty percent of the softener quantity

stated on the package is sufficient.

Water Hardness Details
