FLUFF IN THE GARMENTS

During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING

PHASE, certain types of fabric, as spongecloth, wool, sweatshirt, could release fluff.

The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the next cycle.

This drawback increases with technical fabrics.

To prevent the lint in your clothes, it is recommended:

• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and dried light colored fabrics

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, 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 separately 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 advisable 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 turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

(new sponge, wool, sweatshirt especially) and vice versa.

• To air-dry this type of fabrics when they are washed the first time.

• To clean the filter.

• Perform one or more rinse cycles to wash the drum between the washing and drying of fabrics with different colors.

• After the drying phase, thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet rag.

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

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 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,

electrolux 15 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 temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens 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 recommendations 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 depend on the type of fabric, load size, de-

DRYING HINTS

PREPARING THE DRYING CYCLE

As a dryer, the appliance works on the condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Attention!

Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of washed laundry, in order to obtain good performances.

LAUNDRY NOT SUITABLE FOR

DRYING

• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

gree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions 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 washing.

DEGREES OF WATER HARDNESS

Water hardness is classified in so-called

“degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions.

When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.

• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

• Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.

• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.

• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of

16 electrolux the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using liquid detergents, a programme

without prewash must be selected.

Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the de-

tergent dispenser drawer.

GARMENT LABELS

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 manufacturer'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 forming 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 inside 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 programme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.

20 electrolux

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 dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.

Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out.

Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation.

Caution! Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. After having levelled the appliance, tighten the lock nuts.

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 other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable. If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.

RAISING THE APPLIANCE

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.

To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least

15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws, the wood panel must extend beyond the front feet.

If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

WATER INLET

An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the machine drum. Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.

Important! This appliance must be con- nected to a cold water supply.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.

28 electrolux

2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap.

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.

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.

WATER-STOP DEVICE

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window «A». Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.

Warning! Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.

The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

A minimum water pressure of 0.05

MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system.

There should be a minimum vertical distance of 5.02 m (16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

WATER DRAINAGE

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the “U” piece” supplied.

“U” piece supplied

Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm thus ensuring there is

an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

38 mm (½”) standpipe diameter electrolux 29

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no less than 60 cm

(23.6'') above floor level.

3 pin

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local

Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.

If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly in to the standpipe.

30 electrolux

Use the plastic “U - Piece” supplied.

Loop

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the appliance.

If you intend to drain the hose from the machine into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not blocked.

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.

IN THE INTEREST OF THE

ENVIRONMENT

The appliance should be connected to the

FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river.

It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution.

If you require any further advice please contact your local water authority.

Position the base into the recess with its front edge as far forward as the adjoining plinth line will allow.

The reason for placing the base in this position is to allow a small strip of beading to be fitted in front of the appliance feet.

Fix the base firmly to the floor using four appropriate countersunk screws (see Fig. 10).

With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately 5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the underside of the worktop.

A final check for stability should be carried out with the machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need for any further fine adjustment to the feet.

A strip of beading approximately 605 mm

W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base directly in front of the machine’s feet, this will provide additional security.

If required an additional door magnet, part number 1242394-00/3 and disc, part number 1242393-00/5 are available from spare parts.

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 detergent, 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 laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
