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.

TEMPERATURES

95° or 90°

60°/50°

40°-30°-

Cold for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...) 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) for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, nonshrink»

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.

(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.

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.

REMOVING STAINS

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

electrolux 15

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.

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, 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.

“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.

A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of hardness II).

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft).

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.

• 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 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

For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels:

• = May be tumble dried

• = Drying at high temperature

• = Drying at reduced temperature

• = Do not tumble dry.

DRYING CYCLE DURATION

The drying time may vary depending on:

• speed of the final spin

• dryness degree required (iron dry, store dry)

• type of laundry

• weight of the load size .

The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in the «Drying programmes» chapter. The experience will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable way, according to the different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time of the already performed cycles.

ADDITIONAL DRYING

If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying programme, select a short drying cycle again.

Warning! Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of fabrics or garment’s shrinking.

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.

Important! Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.

CLEANING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

Problem

Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:

The machine makes an unusual noise:

No water is visible in the drum:

The machine does not dry

or does not dry properly:

The laundry is full of differ- ent colored fluff:

Possible cause/Solution

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed 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 distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.


The load is too small.

• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning programme.

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.

The drying time or the dryness degree has not been selected.

• Select the drying time or the dryness degree.

The water tap is not turned on.

• Open the water tap.

The drain filter is clogged.

• Clean the drain filter.

The machine is overloaded.

• Reduce the laundry load in the drum.

The selected drying programme, time or dryness degree was not suitable for the laundry.

• Select the suitable drying programme, time or dryness degree for the laundry.

The fabrics washed in the previous cycle released fluff of a different color (refer to “Fluff in the garments” in chapter “Use - Washing

& Drying”).

• The drying phase helps to eliminate some fluff.

• Clean the clothes with a fluff remover.

In case of an excessive amount of fluff in the drum repeat the following procedure twice:

• Thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet rag.

• Perform a rinse cycle.

• Put a wool or piled fabric rag inside the drum.

• Perform a drying cycle of 10 minutes.

• Remove the old wool cloth.

Now you can wash other garments.

If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the model, serial number and purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre will require this information.
