ENGLISH 27
If you set a programme or an option that ends with water in the drum, the
Stand-by function doesn’t deactivate the appliance to remind you to drain the
water.
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 The laundry load
· Divide the laundry into: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.
· Follow the washing instructions on the laundry care labels.
· Do not wash white and coloured items together.
· Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you
wash them separately for the first couple of times.
· Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside
out.
· Pre-treat stubborn stains. · Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent. · Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase. · A very small load
can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration.
If this occurs: a. interrupt the programme and
open the door (refer to “Daily Use” chapter); b. manually redistribute the
load so that the items are spaced evenly around the tub; c. press the
Départ/Pause button. The spin phase continues. · Button up pillowcases, close
zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements. · Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts. Use a
washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts,
tights, shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
· Empty pockets and unfold the items.
13.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient. We recommend that you
pre-treat these stains before you put the items in the appliance. Special
stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable
to the type of stain and fabric.
13.3 Detergent type and quantity
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: ·
Use only detergents and other
treatments specially made for washing machines. First, follow these generic
rules: powder detergents for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
28 www.electrolux.com
powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization, liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only. · 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 soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used. · Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding
the indicated maximum level (
).
· Do not mix different types of
detergents.
· Use less detergent if:
you are washing a small load,
the laundry is lightly soiled,
there is large amounts of foam
during washing.
· When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not
in the detergent dispenser.
Insufficient detergent may cause:
· unsatisfactory washing results,
· the wash load to turn grey,
· greasy clothes,
· mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause: · sudsing, · reduced washing effect, · inadequate rinsing, · a greater impact for the environment.
14. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
14.1 Periodic cleaning schedule
Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life of your appliance.
After each cycle, keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly ajar to
get air circulation and dry the humidity inside the appliance: this will
prevent mildew and odours.
13.4 Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that
you follow these tips:
· Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for each programmes
helps to reduce energy and water consumption.
· With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the
laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
· To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by
the detergent producer and check the water hardness of you domestic system.
Refer to ‘Water hardness’.
· Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected washing programme
before drying your laundry in a tumble dryer. This will save energy during
drying!
13.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness
is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water
authority.
Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
If the appliance is not used for a long time: close the water tap and unplug
