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 de-
tergent, 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 laun-
dry can then be washed at a lower tem-
perature.
• Measure out detergent according to the
water hardness, the degree of soiling and
the quantity of laundry being washed.

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 drainage
Form a hook at the end of the drain hose
using the plastic hose guide, if necessary.
45°

The end of the drain hose can be posi-
tioned in four ways:
•Hooked over the edge of a sink using
the plastic hose guide.
Tie the plastic hose guide to the tap with
a string to prevent that the drain hose un-
hooks when the appliance is emptying.
•Onto a sink outlet spigot.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and
secure with a clip, ensure a loop is
formed in the drain hose to prevent
waste from the sink entering the appli-
ance.
If the outlet spigot has not been used be-
fore, remove any blanking plug that may
be in place.
•Directly into a drain pipe at a height
of not less than 60 cm and not more than
100 cm. The end of the drain hose must
always be ventilated, i.e. the inside di-
ameter of the drain pipe must be larger
electrolux 9

than the outside diameter of the drain
hose. The drain hose must not be kinked.
•Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the
room wall.
The drain hose may be extended to a
maximum of 4 metres. An additional
drain hose and joining piece is available
from your Local Centre.

FIRST USE
• Ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installa-
tion instructions.
• Ensure that the drum is empty.
• Before the first wash, run a cotton
cycle at the highest temperature
without any laundry in the machine,
to remove any manufacturing residue
from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a
measure of detergent into the main
wash compartment and start the
machine.
DAILY USE
Sort 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, deli-
cates, woollens.
Before Loading The Laundry
Important! 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 any hooks
(e.g curtains).
• Never wash whites and coloureds to-
gether. 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.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a spe-
cial detergent or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the
bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before wash-
ing:
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 turpen-
tine, lay the garment on a soft surface and
dab the stain with the fingertips and a cot-
ton 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
2)
, 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
2)
, 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.
2) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
electrolux 11

Open the door by carefully pulling the
door handle outwards
Load the laundry
Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a
time, shaking them out as much as possi-
ble.
Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
«Washing Programmes».
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.
Close the door gently
Warning! Make sure that any fabrics
were not trapped when closing the
door.
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
(40°C max) and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tem-
perature wash programmes (60°C max)
for all types of fabric, or special for wool-
lens only.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will de-
pend on the type of fabric, load size, de-
gree of soiling and hardness of the water
used.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always
to what is written on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during wash-
ing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called
“degrees” of hardness. Information on hard-
ness of the water in your area can be ob-
tained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority.
If the water hardness degree is medium or
high we suggest you to add a water soften-
er following always the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, read-
just the quantity of the detergent.
Open the detergent dispenser drawer
Compartment for powder or liquid de-
tergent used for main wash. Compart-
ment for liquid additives (fabric softener,
starch).

Warning! If you wish to carry out the
prewash, pour the detergent among
washing items into the drum.
Warning! Depending on the type
detergent you use (powder of liquid),
ensure that the flap, placed in the main
wash compartment, is in the desired
position.
Bleach
