towels, tablecloths, sheets…).
60°C 50°C
For normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pajamas….) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.underwear).
40°C 30°C Cold
For delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label pure new wool, machine washable, non- shrink.
6.3 Before Loading The Laundry
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. coin, hair
clips, safety pins, pins).
Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.
Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.
Never wash whites and coloured fabrics 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.
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 a
net.
6.4 Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the program charts on page 11.
General rules:
Clothes Load Quantity
Cotton, linen
drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics
drum no more than half full;
Delicate fabrics drum no more than and woollens one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
6.5 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.
22 www.electrolux.vn
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 in
cold water. 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.
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.
6.6 Detergents Type And Quantity Of Detergent
Low sudsing detergent is required for this washing machine to prevent
oversudsing problems, unsatisfactory washing result and harm to the machine.
Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled
“Front Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders
or “Matic”.
Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent
or Soap-Based products in your frontload washing machine. This can result in
excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and
overloading of the motor.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps 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 and quantity of detergent will depend on ;
type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.) ;
the colour of clothes ;
size of the load ;
degree of soil ;
wash temperature ; and
hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified by 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.
You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufacturers’
instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the
amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly.
ENGLISH 23
Not enough detergent causes: the washload to turn grey, greasy clothes.
Too much detergent causes: sudsing, reduced washing effect, inadequate
rinsing.
Use less detergent if: you are washing a small load, the laundry is lightly
soiled, large amounts of foam during washing.

8. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can
carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
To run a maintenance wash: The drum should be empty of laundry. Select the “Tub Clean” program. Press Start/Pause to start the program.
8.1 External Cleaning
Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.
8.5 Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out.
8.2 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.
8.3 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.
8.4 Maintenance Wash With “Tub Clean” Program
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of
residues inside the drum. We recommend to use “Tub Clean” program to clean the
drum regularly to remove any residue.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.
ENGLISH 25
Flush it out under a tap to remove any traces of accumulated powder.
8.6 Cleaning The Drawer Recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring
that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of
the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse program without any clothes
in the drum.
8.7 Cleaning The Water Inlet Filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time
to time. To clean the water inlet filters: 1. Close the water tap. 2. Remove
the water inlet hose from
the water tap. 3. Clean the filter in the inlet hose with
a stiff brush.
4. Remove the inlet hose behind the appliance.
26 www.electrolux.vn
5. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or a towel.
6. Install the inlet hose again. Make sure that the couplings are tight to
prevent leakages.
7. Open the water tap.
8.8 Frost Precautions
If the appliance is installed in an area where the temperature can be less
than 0 °C, remove the remaining water from the inlet hose and the drain pump.
Emergency Drain
1. Disconnect the main plug from the main socket. Turn off the water tap.
2. Remove the water inlet hose.
3. Remove the drain hose from the rear support and unhook it from sink or
spigot.
4. Put the end of the drain and inlet hose in a container. Let the water flow out of the hoses.

11.2 Positioning
It is important that your washing machine stands firm and leveled on the floor
to ensure correct operation. The appliance must not be installed behind a
lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to
avoid restricting the washing machine door.
Use a spirit level on the top and side of the washing machine to check the
levels.
10. Put the plastic caps in the holes (X3). You can find these caps in the user manual bag.
If you do not have a spirit level, as a guide use the edge of a door frame, cupboard or bench to check that the washing machine is leveled.
34 www.electrolux.vn
Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. A correct adjustment of the
appliance level prevents vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance
when in operation.

11.3 Water Inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4″ BSP thread. Use the hose
supplied with the washing machine. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.
check
counter clockwise “UP”
When the washing machine is levelled, try to rock it from corner to corner. If it does rock, adjust the legs again until it is levelled and does not rock.
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.
Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the left or right depending on the
position of your water tap. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. After
positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent
leaks.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Install the machine on a flat hard
floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by
carpets, rugs etc.
Check that the machine does not touch the wall or cupboard units.

In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine will be emptied. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.
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 twisted or curled. Run it along the floor; only the
part near the drainage point must be raised.
For the correct functioning of the machine, the drain hose must remain hooked
on the proper support piece situated on the top part of back side of the
appliance.

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.
PE<=polyethylene >PS<=polystyrene >PP<=polypropylene
This means that they can be recycled by disposing them properly in appropriate collection containers.
12.2 Old Machine
Use authorized disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste.
Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product.
For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact
your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop
where you purchased the product.
12.3 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
detergent, 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
laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling
and the quantity of laundry being washed.
