    							26electroluxcare and cleaning
    Care and cleaning
    You must DISCONNECT the appliance
    from the electricity supply, before you
    can carry out any cleaning or
    maintenance work.
    Descaling
    The water we use normally contains
    lime. It is a good idea to periodically use
    a water softening powder in the
    machine. Do this separately from any
    laundry washing, and according to the
    softening powder manufacturers
    instructions. This will help to prevent the
    formation of lime deposits.
    After each wash
    Leave the door open for a while. This
    helps to prevent mould and stagnant
    smells forming inside the appliance.
    Keeping the door open after a wash will
    also help to preserve the door seal.
    Maintenance Wash
    With the use of low temperature washes
    it is possible to get a build up of residues
    inside the drum. 
    We recommend that a maintenance
    wash be performed on a regular basis.
    To run a maintenance wash:
     The drum should be empty of laundry.
     Select the hottest cotton wash
    programme.
     Use a normal measure of detergent,
    must be a powder with biological
    properties.
    External cleaning
    Clean the exterior cabinet of the
    appliance with soap and water only, and
    then dry thoroughly.
    Cleaning the dispenser drawer
    The washing powder and additive
    dispenser drawer should be cleaned
    regularly.
    Remove the drawer by pressing the
    catch downwards and by pulling it out.
    Flush it out under a tap, to remove any
    traces of accumulated powder.
    To aid cleaning, the top part of the
    additive compartment should be
    removed.
    Cleaning the drawer recess
    Having removed the drawer, use a small
    brush to clean the recess, ensuring that
    all washing powder residue is removed
    from the upper and lower part of the
    recess.
    Replace the drawer and run the rinse
    programme without any clothes in the
    drum.

    							Cleaning the pump
    The pump should be inspected if
     the machine does not empty and/or
    spin 
     the machine makes an unusual noise
    during draining due to objects such as
    safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
    pump. 
    Proceed as follows:
     Disconnect the appliance. 
     If necessary wait until the water has
    cooled down. 
     Open the pump door.
     Place a containfer close to the pump
    to collect any spillage. 
     Pull out the emergency emptying
    hose, place it in the container and
    remove its cap.
     When no more water comes out,
    unscrew the pump cover and remove
    it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
    spillage of water when removing the
    cover.
    
    
     Remove any objects from the pump
    impeller by rotating it.
     Put the cap back on the emergency
    emptying hose and place the latter
    back in its seat.
     Screw the pump cover fully in.
     Close the pump door.
    Warning!
    When the appliance is in use and
    depending on the programme selected
    there can be hot water in the pump.

    							28electroluxcare and cleaning
    Never remove the pump cover during a
    wash cycle, always wait until the
    appliance has finished the cycle, and is
    empty. When replacing the cover, ensure
    it is securely retightened so as to stop
    leaks and young children being able to
    remove it.
    Cleaning the water inlet filter
    If your water is very hard or contains
    traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
    filter may become clogged.
    It is therefore a good idea to clean it
    from time to time.
    Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the
    water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
    hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet
    hose. 
    The dangers of freezing
    If the machine is exposed to
    temperatures below 0°C, certain
    precautions should be taken.
     Turn off the water tap.
     Unscrew the inlet hose.
     Place the end of the emergency
    emptying hose and that of the inlet
    hose in a bowl placed on the floor and
    let water drain out.
     Screw the water inlet hose back on
    and reposition the emergency
    emptying hose after having put the
    cap on again.
    
     When you intend to start the machine
    up again, make sure that the room
    temperature is above 0°C.
    Important!
    Every time you drain the water through
    the emergency emptying hose you must
    pour 2 litres of water into the main wash
    compartment of the detergent drawer
    and then run the drain programme. This
    will activate the ECO VALVE device
    avoiding that part of the detergent
    remains unused at next washing. 
    Emergency emptying out
    If the water is not discharged, proceed
    as follows to empty out the machine:
     pull out the plug from the power
    socket; 
     close the water tap; 
     if necessary, wait until the water has
    cooled down;
     open the pump door;
     place a bowl on the floor and place
    the end of the emergency emptying
    hose into the bowl. Remove its cap.
    The water should drain by gravity into
    the bowl. When the bowl is full, put
    the cap back on the hose. Empty the
    bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
    stops flowing out;
     clean the pump if necessary as
    previously described;
     replace the emergency emptying hose
    in its seat after having plugged it;
     screw the pump cover again and
    close the door.
