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»

electrolux 9

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

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.

LAUNDRY WEIGHTS

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 g

quilt cover 700 g

man’s work shirt 600 g

sheet, man’s pyjamas 500 g

tablecloth 250 g

pillow case, towelling towel,

night dress, man’s shirt

200 g

tea cloth, ladies’ briefs, nap-

kin, blouse, men’s under-

pants

100 g

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).

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.

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

, 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:

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

10 electrolux

• 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.

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.

“Eco” option selected 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.

3) Available at the temperature 60° and 40°.

4) Available at the temperature 60°.

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.

12 electrolux

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.

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

down low, into the waste gully (floor

drain) set into the floor. Make sure that

the end of the hose does not go below

the water level in the gully's (drain's) wa-

ter tap.

electrolux 13

• Select the programme "Drain" and let it

run until it is finished.

•

Turn the programme selector to

position. When you intend to start the

machine up again, make sure that the

room temperature is above 0 °C.

The appliance is only to be used and stored

indoors at normal room temperature. The

Problem Possible cause/Solution

There is water on the floor:

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much

foam) has been used.

• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.

Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fit-

tings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the

hose; check to see if it is damp.

• Check the water inlet hose connection.

The drain or inlet hose is damaged.

• Change it with a new one.

Unsatisfactory washing re-

sults:

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.

• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.

Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.

The correct temperature was not selected.

• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.

Excessive laundry load.

• Reduce the laundry load.

The door will not open:

The programme is still running.

• Wait the end of washing cycle.

The door lock has not been released.

• Wait until the indicator light for door locked has gone out.

There is water in the drum.

• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.

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.

INSTALLATION

LIFTING THE MACHINE

Be careful when lifting the machine. Incor-

rect methods of lifting can cause physical

injuries and also increase the risk of dam-

age to the machine. Open the door and

take hold of the top inside of the door

opening. You can also lift the machine by

gripping the rear overhang of the top.

Warning! Never lift the machine by

gripping it’s control panel, door, or

detergent dispenser.

UNPACKING

When supplied the washing machine is

packed using a number of locking devices/

packing pieces to prevent drum and motor

from damage in transit All transit bolts and

packing must be removed before using the

appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices

so that they can be refitted if the machine

ever has to be transported again.

1. Spread some of the polystyrene pack-

aging materials on the floor behind the

machine and then lay the machine

carefully rear side down on them. Make

sure that no hoses are crushed in the

process. Remove the polystyrene base

from the bottom of the appliance.

electrolux 17

2. Return machine to it's upright position

and remove the power supply cable

and the draining and inlet hose from the

hose holders on the rear of the appli-

ance.

3. With a suitable spanner unscrew and

remove the three screws and their

spacers on machine's rear.

4. The three holes must then be plugged

with the plastic plug caps supplied in

the bag containing the instruction

booklet, which can be found inside the

drum.

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 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.

Caution! Never place cardboard,

wood or similar materials under the

machine to compensate for any

unevenness in the floor.

WATER INLET

Warning! This appliance must be

connected to a cold water supply.

1. Connect the water inlet hose supplied

with the machine to a tap with a 3/4"

thread. Always use the hose supplied

with the appliance.

Important! Do not use the hose from

your previous machine to connect to

the water supply.

18 electrolux

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.

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.

Important! Before connecting up the

machine to new pipework or to pipework

that has not been used for some time, run

off a reasonable amount of water to flush

out any debris that may have collected in

the pipes.

WATER DRAINAGE

The end of the drain hose can be posi-

tioned 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 machine is emp-

tying. This could be done by tying it to the

tap with a piece of string or attaching it to

the wall.

In a sink drain pipe with a trap.

650-800 mm

The drain hose can be connected directly

into the pipe (e.g. beneath a washtub or

sink), above the water trap. The drain hose

must be arranged so that some part of it’s

length is routed up to a level corresponding

to the top edge of the tub and fixed in place

there.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of

not less than 65 cm and not more than 80

cm.

Their must be an air gap around and below

the end of drain hose. This means that the

internal diameter of the standpipe must be

larger than the outer diameter of the hose.

650-800 mm

40 mm

The hose must not be sticked into the

standpipe more than 50 mm and it has to

be fixed in this position. The drain hose

must not be kinked.

The drain hose can be extended up to total

3,5 m. For the extension piece use a hose

electrolux 19

with an internal diameter at least as large as

that of the machine's own hose. Use a suit-

able hose connector.

Information on the electrical connection is

given on the rating plate on the inner edge

of the appliance door.

Check that your domestic electrical installa-

tion can take the maximum load required,

also taking into account any other applian-

ces 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 de-

tergent, 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 laun-

dry can then be washed at a lower tem-

perature.

• Measure out detergent according to the

water hardness, the degree of soiling and

the quantity of laundry being washed.
