Anleitung Zusammenfassung
Never use abrasive powders. Wipe over the exterior cabinet with a lukewarm solution of a mild liquid cleaner, rinse and dry thoroughly. From time to time, apply a little wax furniture cream with a soft cloth. If the washer has been out of use for a long time, carry out a complete cycle (G) without washing a load, adding 25g (loz) Calgon water softener to the detergent dispenser instead of wash powder. Pump filter Your Electrolux washing machine is fitted with a special filter designed to trap fluff, lint and any other small objects inadvertently left in the washload, so protecting the discharge pump. This filter is located behind the bottom front panel, and should be cleaned from time to time. To get at the filter, the panel is removed by gripping it at both sides and pulling it towards you. It can then be used to catch any residual water that emerges when the filter is removed. To remove the filter, unscrew it in an anticlockwise direction (figure 5), pull out the small extractable gutter under the filter cover, and withdraw the filter from its tube (figure 6). Remove any objects or fluff, rinse the filter under a tap, and replace in the machine. Cleaning inlet filters These are situated at the back of the machine and should be inspected from time to time. Unscrew the hoses and remove the mesh filter lodged just inside the hose. Run them under a fast running tap to remove any sediment. Replace the wire filters and the hoses firmly. Cleaning the washing powder dispenser Wipe it out after every wash. From time to time it will need more thorough cleaning to clear out all the deposit. Remove the drawer completely with a sharp pull outwards. When you replace it, if you find that it doesn't slide right in again give it a sharp tap with the palm of your hand. 17 Helpful tips for successful washing Here are some practical hints to help you get the best washing results. Don’t overload the machine. The clothes will not move round freely if there are too many of them and the washing powder may not dissolve properly. Always use a low suds washing powder specially made for front loading machines. Excessive foaming gives an unsatisfactory wash and may even harm the machine. The quantity of washing powder required depends on the amount of laundry and how soiled it is. It may therefore be necessary to vary the quantities suggested on page 14. You will be able to tell if you need to do this when you are used to the machine. Don’t put washing powder into the dispenser until just before starting a programme. If the powder is left for any length of time in the dispenser it may form lumps which are difficult to dissolve. For best results do not wash more than 1kg (21b) of woollen articles at a time. Wash only woollen articles marked “machine washable”. For best results do not wash more than 1.5-3kg (3-5lb) of synthetic fabrics in one load. Synthetic fabrics need plenty of room to move around or they tend to crease. Clothes should be sorted according to the fabric - colour fastness and degree of soiling (see page 13). Mend open seams and tears before washing. Close zips, secure buttons. Collect laces, washable belts etc and put them in a bag for washing. Empty pockets. (This is important as should a coin become lodged between the tub and drum it can cause extensive damage). See final note on page 20. Remove spots of rust, paint, ink and grass stains before washing (see instructions page 19). Don’t wash light coloured fabrics with dark ones. One may leave specks of fluff on the other. Don’t risk washing coloured articles unless you are sure they are colourfast. It's worth hand washing the article to find out. If you live in a hard water district, you can add Calgon water softening powder to the washing machine in compartment “b”. For the quantity of Calgon to use, see packet directions. Nappies Leave the soiled nappies soaking in a solution of proprietary nappy cleaner. When there are sufficient for a wash, drain off the water and rinse by hand in cold water (this is advisable as some nappy cleansers have an adverse effect on the rubber door seal), then transfer the nappies to the washing machine. Set the selector dial to K (fast spin) to remove the excess solution. Then wash the nappies on programme C (whites). Dry and air them thoroughly. Blankets Only wash blankets which are labelled as suitable for machine washing. Use wash programme S (woollens) followed by programme W (drain and spin) which will remove the excess water and leave the blanket ready to tumble dry or hang out on a line. Curtains Check that the fabric is washable. Remove all the curtain hooks and if the heading is drawn up by means of curtain tape, release the strings to allow the fabric to spread flat. Weigh the curtains and decide if you can wash them in one or more loads. Select the correct programme for the fabric. If the curtains have not been washed for 18 some time they may be dusty, in which case it is a good idea to rin...
