7.1 Inside
Clean the inside of the washing
machine at least once a month.
Put 1 liter of bleach in the drum.
Select the Comforter water level
and the Stains/Dingy whites
program. Let the washing machine
complete the cycle to ensure the
complete removal of bleach.
This cleaning should be done to prevent spots
in clothes, caused by accumulated waste in the
washing machine due to excessive use of soap
and softener.
7.2 Lint Filter
The lint filter function retains
lint which is eliminated from
the clothes during washing,
when using the medium and
high water levels. To preserve
the efficiency of this filter, it is
recommended to clean it after
each washing cycle.
• To clean the filter, turn and
pull the lid of the agitator
upwards (fig 1).
• Press the side locks to
remove the filter (fig.2).
• Remove the lint and then
wash the filter in water
(fig.3).
• Place the filter on its
housing, ensuring that it
is properly positioned.
• Place the filter in the
a gi t a to r a n d p u s h i t
a l l t h e w a y b a c k i n .
Tips
At the end of each washing cycle, clean the filter. The
accumulation of lint in the filter can cause clogging
in the mesh, causing the overflow of retained lint to
the inside of the drum.
To clean the filter, use only running water. Do not
use cleaners or brushes which can damage the
filter mesh.
7.3 Dispenser
To clean the dispenser,
proceed as follows:
1. O p e n t h e d r a w e r
completely.
2. Remove the dispenser
from the inside of the
drawer and wash it.
3. If necessary, the inside
can be cleaned using a small
brush.
The pieces of the drawer
can be cleaned using water,
soap, a cloth or a brush to
remove small wastes.
7.4 Water Filter
Close the water inlet. Disconnect
the end of the hose from the faucet
and remove the filter. Clean the
filter with a flush of water. If you
have difficulties when removing
the impurities, use a small soft
brush. This procedure should be
done periodically to prevent clogging of the hose. If
the filter is damaged and needs to be changed, call the
Electrolux Service Center.
Do not forget to replace the filter in the hose and open
the faucet again.
To avoid damage, the product should not be used
without the filter.
7.5 Glass Lid
After each washing, clean it with a soft and moist
cloth.
7.6 Outside
Clean it with warm water and neutral soap. After
cleaning, wipe it with a soft cloth. To avoid acci-
dentally turning the product ON when cleaning, it is
recommended to remove the plug from the socket.

machine with flammable
f l u i d s s u c h a s a l c o h o l ,
