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.
12 electrolux
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.
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
acetone1), 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 acetone1), 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.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
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 detergent dispenser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree 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.

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
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.

Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and
eliminate eventual possible objects that
could be trapped in the fold.
Flush it out under a tap, to remove any
traces of accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed. Clean all
parts with water.
Clean the chamber of dispenser drawer
with a brush.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly
and particularly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or
spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter “What to do if...” for more
details).
Warning! Before unscrewing the pump
cover, switch the appliance off and
remove the mains plug from the
socket.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If it is necessary, wait until the water
has cooled down.
Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or
tap water containing iron.
Important! Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling agents, scouring agents
containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum
with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.

Warning!
When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can
be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a
wash cycle, always wait until the appliance
electrolux 19
has finished the cycle, and is empty. When
refitting the pump cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and
young children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water
inlet hose is not blocked.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Clean the filter in the hose using a hard
bristle brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.
5. Unscrew the hose from the machine.

brush or with the piece of cloth.
7. Screw the hose back to the machine
and make sure the connection is tight.
8. Turn on the water tap.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where
the temperature could drop below 0°C,
proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the inlet hose.
3. Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a
bowl placed on the floor and let water
drain out.
4. Screw the water inlet hose back on and
reposition the emergency emptying
hose after having put the cap on again.
5. When you intend to start the machine
up again, make sure that the room
temperature is above 0°C.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as
follows to empty out the machine:
1. pull out the plug from the power socket;
2. close the water tap;
3. if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;
4. place a bowl on the floor and place the
end of the emergency emptying hose
into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the
bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap
back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops
flowing out;
5. clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
6. replace the emergency emptying hose
in its seat after having plugged it;
7. screw the pump again.
Important! Every time you drain the water
through the emergency emptying hose you
must pour 2 litres of water into the main
wash compartment of the detergent drawer
and then run the drain programme. This will
activate the ECO Valve device avoiding
that part of the detergent remains unused
at next washing.

electrolux 21
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 fittings. 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 hose is damaged.
• Change it with a new one.
The cap on the emergency emptying hose has
not been replaced or the filter has not been
properly screwed in after cleaning action.
• Refit the cap on the emergency emptying
hose or screw the filter fully in.
Unsatisfactory washing results:
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.
• Introduce into the drum less laundry.
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.

The laundry is not evenly distributed in the
drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
22 electrolux
Problem
Possible cause/Solution
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 redistributed by
reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen
several times before the unbalance disappears
and normal spinning can resume. If, after some
minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed
in the drum, the machine will not spin.
• Redistribute the laundry.
The machine makes an unusual noise:
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.
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, serial number and purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre will require this
information.
