At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme dura‐
tion for the maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically cal‐

maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 8 kg,
the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the pro‐
gramme duration will be less than 1 hour).

13. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 The laundry load
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
Obey the washing instructions that
are on the laundry care labels.
Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first times.
Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.
Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with painted illustrations inside
out.
Remove hard stains.
Wash heavy soil stains with a special
detergent.
Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
Do not wash laundry without hems or
with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash
small and/or delicate items (e.g.
underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ).
A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase
again.
13.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
13.3 Detergents and additives
•
•
•
•
•
•
Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate
fabrics (40 °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.
Do not mix different types of
detergents.
To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of
detergent.
Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.
Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the
programme temperature and the level
of soil.
If your appliance does not have the
detergent dispenser with the flap
24
www.electrolux.com
device, add the liquid detergents with
a dosing ball (supplied by the
detergent's manufacturer).
13.4 Ecological hints
•
•
•
Always start a washing programme
with the maximum load of laundry
allowed.
If necessary, use a stain remover
when you set a programme with a low
temperature.
To use the correct quantity of
detergent, check the water hardness
of your domestic system. Refer to
"Water hardness".
13.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water softener for washing
machines. In areas where the water
hardness is soft it is not necessary to use
a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
13.6 Drying hints
Prepare the drying cycle
• Open the water tap.
• Check if the drain hose is connected
properly. Refer to installation chapter
for more information.
• For the maximum laundry load of the
drying programmes, refer to the
drying programmes table.
13.7 Items not suitable for
drying
Do not set a drying programme for
this laundry:
• Very delicate items.
• Synthetic curtains.
• Pieces of clothing with metal inserts.
• Nylon stockings.
• Quilts.
• Bed covers.
• Duvets.
• Anoraks.
•
•
•
Sleeping bags.
Fabrics with residue of hair sprays,
nail solvents or similar.
Garments with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber.
13.8 Garment labels
When you dry the laundry, obey the
indications on the labels of the
manufacturers:
•
= The item can be tumble dried
•
= The drying cycle is at high
temperature
•
= The drying cycle is at reduced
temperature
•
= The item can not be tumble
dried.
13.9 Drying cycle duration
The drying time can change depending
on:
• speed of the last spin
• dryness level
• type of laundry
• weight of the load
13.10 Additional drying
If, at the end of the drying programme,
the laundry is still damp, set a short
drying cycle again.
WARNING!
To avoid creasing and
shrinkage do not overdry
the laundry.
13.11 General Tips
Refer to the «Drying programmes» table
to find the average drying times.
Experience will help you to dry the
laundry better. Take note of the duration
of the cycles done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of
the drying cycle:
1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing
cycle.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for
tumble dryers.
ENGLISH
25
When the drying programme is
completed remove the laundry promptly.
14. CARE AND CLEANING
14.3 Maintenance wash
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Perform a maintenance wash
regularly. To do this:
14.1 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with soap and warm
water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
•
•
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
Remove all laundry from the drum.
Select the cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small
quantity of detergent.
14.4 Door seal
14.2 Descaling
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water descaling product for
washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
limescale and rust particles.
To remove rust particles use only special
products for washing machines. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.
