6. WASHING HINTS
6.1 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.
6.2 Temperatures
Temp Soil level
90°C For normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths,
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.com
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.
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.

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.
