Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These programmes can reduce crea-

ses and odours and make your laundry more smooth.

Do not use any detergent. If necessary, remove stains by washing or using localized stain removal.

Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.

Do not set the Steam programme for this type of clothes:

• Clothes which is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble-drying.

• Clothes with inclusion of plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.

Touch the button

to change the duration of steam phase.

1) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry feel humid. It is better to

expose clothes to the open air for about 10 minutes to let the humidity go away. Laundry should be removed from

the drum as quick as possible. After a steam cycle, clothes may to be ironed anyway, but with less effort!

2) For the programme time, refer to the display.

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maximum

load capacity.

During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and

can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity

(e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 9 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2

hours; real load 1 kg, the programme duration don’t reach 1 hour).

When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks in the

display.

The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the data: the

quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.

HINTS AND TIPS

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

– Underwired bras.

– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this oc-

curs, adjust manually the items in the tub

and start the spin phase again.

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 appli-

ance.

Special stain removers are available. Use

the special stain remover that is applicable

to the type of stain and fabric.

DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

• Only use detergents and additives spe-

cially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of deter-

gent.

electrolux 19

• 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 tem-

perature 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.

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.

Obey the instructions that you find on the

packaging of the products.

Equivalent scales measure the water hard-

ness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna-

tional unit for the hardness of water).

• Clarke degrees.

CARE AND CLEANING

Warning!

becomes necessary, use a water softener

to remove limescales.

Use a special product made for washing

machines. Obey the instructions that you

find on the packaging of the manufacturer.

Do this separately from the laundry wash.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Clean the appliance only with soap and

warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

Caution! Do not use alcohol, solvents

or chemical products.

MAINTENANCE WASH

With the low temperature programmes it is

possible that some detergent stays in the

drum. Make regularly a maintenance wash.

To do this:

• Empty the laundry from the drum.

• Set the hottest cotton wash programme

• Use a correct quantity of powder deter-

gent with biological properties.

After each wash, keep the door open for a

while to prevent mould and to let unpleas-

ant smells go out.

DOOR SEAL

Regularly examine the seal and remove all

objects from the inner part.

DRUM

limescale and rust particles.

Only use special products to remove rust

particles from the drum.

To do this:

• Clean the drum with special product for

stainless steel.
