11.3 Fluff in the fabrics

During the washing and/or drying phase, some types of fabric, (sponge, wool, sweatshirt) could release fluff The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during the next cycle: This inconvenient increases with technical fabrics.

22 www-electrolux.com To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we recommend that you: To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed and dried light coloured fabrics {new sponge, wool, sweatshirt ) and the contrary. To dry this type of fabrics at open air when they are washed the first time. To clean the drain filter. After the drying phase, clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.

Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool. Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels. Do not wash together white and col- oured items. Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first times. Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts. Empty the pockets and unfold the items. Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustra- tions. Remove hard stains. Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains. Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a wash- ing bag or pillowcase. Do not wash in the appliance : — Laundry without hems or with cuts — Underwired bras. — Use a washing bag to wash small items. A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again. To remove the fluff inside the drum, set a special programme: Empty the drum. Clean the drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth. Set the rinse programme. Press at the same time button JE] and button ÆA to activate the cleaning func- tion until the display shows CLE. Press button M to start the pro- gramme.

12.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient. We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the ap- pliance. Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applica- ble to the type of stain and fabric.

12.3 Detergents and addlitives

+ Oniy use detergents and adéditives spe- cially made for washing machines. Do not mix different types of deter- gents. To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of deter- gent. Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products. Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil. If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash phase. If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

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 know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products. Équivalent scales measure the water hardness: Water hardness table ENGLISH 23 + German degrees (°dH). + French degrees (TH). + mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna- tional unit for the hardness of water) + Clarke degrees. Water hardness Level Type °dH TH. mmol/l Clarke 1 soft 0-7 0-15 0-1.5 0-9 2 medium 8-14 16-25 1.6-2.5 10-16 3 hard 15-21 26-37 2.6-3.7 17-25 4 very hard >21 >37 >3.7 >25

Prepare the drying cycle + Open the water tap. + Do a check if the connection of the drain hose is correct. Refer to installa- tion chapter for more information. + For the maximum laundry load of the drying programmes, refer to the drying programmes table.

When you dry ther laundiry, obey the indi- cations on the labels of the manufactur- ers + [= The item can be tumble dried The drying cycle is at high temper- ature = The drying cycle is at reduced temperature + f = The item can not be tumble dried.

12.7 Drying cycle duration

The drying time can change depending on: + speed of the last spin + dryness level + type of laundry + weight of the load size GENERAL TIPS Refer to the «Drying programmes» table to find the average diying times. The experience wil| help you to dry the laundry in a more correct way. Take note of the duration drying time of the cycles done before To avoid the static charge at the end of the diying cycle: + Use fabric conditioner in the washing cycle. + Use special fabric conditioner for tum- ble dryers.
