22 electrolux washing & drying hints
Important
As a dryer, the machine works on the
condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be
open and the drain hose must drain
water into a sink or into the drain
pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in
the programme charts.
General rules:
Cotton, linen: drum full but not too
tightly packed;
Synthetics: drum no more than half
full;
Delicate fabrics and 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.

The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe

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 cold.
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
1200 g
acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft
100 g
cloth and dab the stain.
700 g
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as
500 g
above, then treat stains with
200 g
methylated spirits. Remove any
250 g
residual marks from white fabrics with
