YOUR NEW WASHING MACHINE
This new washing machine, which is fitted with the Direct Spray system, patented Electrolux, meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.
Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed.
■ Programme selector dial combines the function of programme and temperature selection, making it easier to set the programme.
■ Programme phase indicators keep you informed on progress of the programme.
■
■
■
■
Fuzzy Logic technology enables the washing time in the White cotton and
Coloured cotton programmes to be calculated automatically according to the weight of the laundry.
The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollen with extreme gentleness.
The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.
The automatic cooling of the washing
water from 95° to 60°C before draining will prevent old drain pipes from being deformed.
Hints on how to save energy
By following these hints you will obtain economical washing without damaging the environment:
■
■
Whenever possible, wash the maximum load for the selected programme, without overloading the drum.
Use the prewash programme only for very soiled laundry.
■
■
Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
Use an economy programme for normally soiled laundry and a short programme when washing lightly soiled laundry.

Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3 /
4
" thread.
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction.
Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.
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 fill 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 Agent to replace the hose.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the
machine. In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

Washing hints
Sorting 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
90°-95°
for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)
60 °
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).
(cold)
30°-40°
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».
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. 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 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.
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
(*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.
91
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 (*), 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.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk
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 concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme.
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.
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.
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.

This information appears on the Energy label according to EEC Directive 92/75.
ENERGY SAVING (ECONOMY)
Use the “economy” programmes at 60°C and 40°C for normally soiled synthetics and cotton items
(white or coloureds): a considerable saving in power consumption will be obtained. Equally good results will be achieved because the reduced temperature cycle maintains the full washing time.

MAINTENANCE
1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork.
2. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear lefthand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartments can be removed.
Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush.
Refit the drawer after cleaning.

3. Drain filter
The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean.
Open the filter door.
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it.
Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.

4. Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or outlet hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine:
■
■ pull out the plug from the power socket; close the water tap;
■
■ if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; place a bowl on the floor;
■ put the outlet hose end into the bowl and let the water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the outlet hose because, for example, the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the outlet filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
6. Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:
■ Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
■
■
■
■
■
Place the end of the outlet hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
Select programme D and run it until the machine stops.
Turn the programme selector dial to “O”.
Remove the plug from the socket.
Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the outlet hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected parts.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

Possible cause
Check that the door is firmly closed.
Check that the machine is plugged in and that there is power at the socket.
Check that the main fuse has not blown.
Check that the programme selector dial is positioned correctly.
Check that the water tap is open.
Check that water is coming out of the tap.
Check that the inlet hose is not squashed or kinked.
Check that the filter in the inlet hose is not blocked.
Check that the door is closed.
The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.
Check that the drain hose is not squashed or kinked.
A programme with the “Stop with water in drum” or “No spin” option has been selected .
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent
(creates too much foam) has been used.
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 that the drain hose is not damaged.
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
The correct temperature was not selected.
Excessive laundry load.
■
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
■
Check that all the transit bolts and packing have been removed.
■
■
■
■
Check that the machine is not resting against anything.
Check that the support feet are resting firmly on the ground and that the lock nuts are securely tightened.
Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in the drum.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:
■
The machine makes an unusual noise:
■
The door will not open:
Water is not visible in the machine:
■
■
■
■
■
The programme is still running.
The door lock has not been released.
The water level in the appliance is too high or the appliance is in the heating phase.
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 eventually at a lower speed, if the wash load is not perfectly distributed in the drum. If, after 15 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and reselect the spin programme.
The machine is fitted with a commutator motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional machines.
This motor enables a softer start to the spin and controls the increase in spin speed better. In this way, machine performance is improved.
■
The machine, which is the result of modern technology, runs in a very economical way with low water consumption. Performance is nevertheless excellent.
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.
