WASHING HINTS6.

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

90°CFor heavily or normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...).
60°C50°CFor normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas...) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
40°C30°C ColdFor 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

Never wash whites and coloureds 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.

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 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. General rules:

Cotton, linen:drum full but not too tightly packed;
Synthetics, Delicate:drum no more than half full;
woollens:drum no more than one third full.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

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.

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 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.

Only low suds Front load washer detergents should be used in this appliance:

  • powder detergents for all types of fabric,
  • powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60 °C max) and woollens,
  • liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash program (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash program.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked “###” just before starting the program.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked “ ✉” before starting the wash program.

Follow the product manufacturer's recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the MAX mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Do not spray stain pre-treatment products (e.g. Preen) on or near the machine, as it can attack plastic materials reducing its life.

6.7 Quantity of Detergent To Be Used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in 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.

Follow the product manufacturers' instructions on quantities to use.

Not enough washing powder causes:

• the washload to turn grey,
- greasy clothes.

Too much washing powder 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 form during washing.

11.2 Positioning

i IMPORTANT

It is important that your washing machine stands firm and level 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 so that the washing machine door is restricted.

Use a spirit level on the top and side of the washing machine to check the levels.

ELECTROLUX EWF12843 - i IMPORTANT - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a washing machine with a close-up of its front panel and indicator lights (no text or symbols)

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 level.

Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. A correct adjustment of the appliance level prevents the vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.

ELECTROLUX EWF12843 - i IMPORTANT - 2

natural_image Mechanical assembly diagram showing a wrench and nut assembly with directional arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols)

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.

Illustration showing two scenarios of a person washing machines, one without restrictions and the other with a checkmark.

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.

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.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction.

Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

Diagram illustrating a hand valve mechanism with a magnifying glass and a valve inserted into a pipe, showing fluid flow direction.

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.

11.4 Water Drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

- Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.

ELECTROLUX EWF12843 - Water Drainage - 1

natural_image Diagram of a pipe connection with a valve and tubing, no text or symbols present

In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying.

This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

  • In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.
  • Directly into a drain pipe at a height of no less than 60 cm and no more than 90 cm. 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 kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

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.
