Instructions for 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 skilled persons. Incorrect repairs can
cause significant hazards. If repairs are neces-
sary, consult our Customer Service or your spe-
cialist dealer.
• Never put the washing machine into operation if
the mains cable is damaged or if the control
panel, work top or base area are damaged in
such a way that the inside of the unit is open and
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 LS
switch in the fuse box or completely unscrew 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 fire risk with
overheating!
• Do not spray down the washing machine with a
water jet. Electric shock risk!
• The glass in the filling door becomes hot in the
case of washing programs with high tempera-
tures. Do not touch!
• Allow the washing solution to cool down before
emergency emptying of the unit, before cleaning
or before emergency opening of the filling door.
• 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.
6
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 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).
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping
material
>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material
(always CFC-free)
>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips

Pumping off the water after a rinse hold and short
spin or separate short spin of sensitive textiles (easy-
care washing, delicates, woollens).
10
Additional Program Buttons
The additional program buttons are for adapting the
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)
Cold 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. 1 hour at 30 °C or 40 °C, depending on the
set program. Can be extended by max. 19 hours
with the button DELAY TIMER (Zeitvorwahl, Départ
Différé). This is followed by the main washing cycle.
QUICK WASH (Kurz, Court)
Shorter washing cycle for slightly dirty washing.
STAIN (Flecken, Tâches)
For treating very dirty washing or stained washing.
(In-wash stain treatment is added during the pro-
gram on a time-optimized basis.)

Consumption Data and Wash Times
The values for selected programs in the following tables were determined under standard conditions. However,
there is a helpful orientation aid for domestic operation.
Running Time Display
3
The running times of the washing programs
depend on the usual washing practice and
the ambient conditions at the installation
location.
The washing type and quantity, the type of
washing powder, the water temperature and
the room temperature etc. can influence the
duration of the washing program.
The washing machine saves from each pro-
gram the running times of the last wash
cycles and calculates from them the average
running time for a washing cycle. This aver-
age running time is shown by the multi dis-
play during the next wash.
After several washes, the running time
shown in the multi display is thereby
adapted to the usual washing practice and
the ambient conditions at the installation
location.
Water Protection Aqua Control+Aqua Alarm
In the event of damage to the supply hose, the sys-
tem blocks the further supply of water to the unit
directly st 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. When the water pro-
tection system responds, a warning signal sounds at
the same time.

Prepare the Washing Cycle
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 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, Silk and Extremely Delicate Wash-
ing 9ìï
Textiles such as wool, wool blends and silk with this
care code are particularly sensitive to mechanical
stresses. The WOOL (Wolle, Laine)/P (Handwash)
and SILK (Seide, Soie)/P (Handwash) programs are
suitable for this type of fabric.
Attention! Textiles with the care code
ñ
(Do not
wash!) mus not be washed in the washing machine!
13
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
2
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.
2
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
Hardness Category
Water Hardness °dH
(degrees German hardness)
Water Hardness in mmol/l
(millimol per litre)
I – soft 0 - 7 up to 1.3
II – medium hard 7 - 14 1.3 - 2.5
