To switch the appliance on or off and for cancelling

1)
Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu-
lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme»
and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms
of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature de-
clared for the selected programme.
2)
During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle washing. It can seem that the
drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the ap-
pliance.
3)
This programme cannot be used for very delicate fabrics as silk or wool. Pour the detergent
for the soak programme into the compartment marked
. At the end of the soak (after hav-
ing emptied out the water) you can select the desired washing programme. First turn the appli-
ance off, then select the programme and start it.
4)
The default phase of the spin speed is related to cotton items. Set the spin speed. Make
sure that it agrees with the laundry.

11. HINTS AND TIPS
11.1 The laundry load
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
coloured 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
illustrations.
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
washing bag or pillowcase.
Do not wash in the appliance laundry
without hems or with cuts. Use a
washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras,
belts, tights, etc. ).
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.
11.2 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
appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is applicable
to the type of stain and fabric.
www.electrolux.com18
11.3 Detergents and additives
Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines:
powder detergents for all types of
fabric,
powder detergents for delicate
fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,
liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60
°C max) for all types of fabric, or
special for woollens only.
Do not mix different types of

the on packaging of these products.
Use the correct products for the type

11.4 Ecological hints
Set a programme without the prewash
phase to wash laundry with normal soil.
Always start a washing programme
with the maximum load of laundry.
If necessary, use a stain remover when
you set a programme with a low
temperature.
To use the correct quantity of the

your domestic system
11.5 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 know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
