Warnings

Installation

• All internal packing must be removed before using

the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to

the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective

transit devices are not removed or are not

completely removed. Refer to the relevant

paragraph in the instruction book.

• Any electrical work required to install this appliance

must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• Any plumbing work required to install this

appliance must be carried out by a qualified

plumber.

• After having installed the machine, check that it is

not standing on its electrical supply cable.

• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor,

ensure that air can circulate freely between the

feet and the floor.

Use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It

must not be used for purposes other than those for

which it was designed.

• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be

machine washed. Follow the instructions on each

garment label.

• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the

instructions in the instruction book.

• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such

as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause

extensive damage.

• Do not machine wash garments saturated with

petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc.

If such fluids have been used to remove stains

prior to washing, wait until they have completely

evaporated from the fabric before placing

garments in the appliance.

• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a

cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting

trapped between the drum and the tub.

• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric

softener. An excessive amount could damage the

laundry.

• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the

appliance is not in use. This preserves the door

seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.

• Always check that water has emptied out before

opening the door. If not, drain the water following

the instructions in the instruction book.

• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water

tap after use.

General safety

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by

qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by

inexperienced persons could cause serious

danger. Contact your local Service Centre.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the

plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug

itself.

• During high temperature wash programmes the

door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before

installing or using the appliance.

Disposal

Tips for environmental protection

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are

recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene

>PS<=polystyrene

>PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of

them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

Help to keep your country tidy!

The symbol on the product or on its packaging

indicates that this product may not be treated as

household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to

the applicable collection point for the recycling of

electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this

product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent

potential negative consequences for the environment

and human health, which could otherwise be caused

by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For

more detailed information about recycling of this

product, please contact your local city office, your

household waste disposal service or the shop where

you purchased the product.

To save water, energy and to help protect the

environment, we recommend that you follow these

tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without

prewashing in order to save detergent, water and

time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully

loaded.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited

soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be

washed at a lower temperature, so saving energy.

• Measure out detergent according to the water

hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of

laundry being washed.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous

electrical appliances can be. When the machine is

working, children should be carefully supervised

and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,

polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger

of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s

reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into

the drum. To avoid this the machine incorporates a

special feature. To activate this device, rotate the

button (without pressing it) inside the door

clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If

necessary use a coin.

To disable this device and restore the possibility of

closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise

until the groove is vertical.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the

electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with

the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in

order to prevent children from becoming trapped

inside while playing.

Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed

before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that

they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be

transported again.

1. Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the two

rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.

Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to

squash the hoses. This can be avoided by

placing one of the corner packing pieces between

the machine and the floor.

2. Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of

the machine and release the two plastic bags.

3. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag,

removing it towards the right and then

downwards.

4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag,

removing it towards the left and then upwards.

5. Set the machine upright and remove the

remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

6. Plug all the holes with the plugs which you will

find in the envelope containing the instruction

booklet.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.

Make sure that air circulation around the machine is

not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the

machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen

units.

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or

out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar

materials under the machine to compensate for any

unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose supplied with the

machine to a tap with a 3/4" thread.

Do not use old, already employed hoses to connect

the machine to the tap.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the

machine can be turned in any direction. Simply

loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the

fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

ENGLISH

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too

short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will

have to purchase a new, longer hose specially

designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three

ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic

hose guide supplied with the machine. In this

case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked

when the machine is emptying.

This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece

of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be

above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm

above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less

than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be

ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe

must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain

hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked.

For a correct functioning of the machine the

drain hose must remain hooked on the proper

support piece situated on the top part of the back

side of the appliance.

P1118

P0022

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V,

single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can

take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also

taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility

for damage or injury through failure to comply

with the above safety precaution.

Should the appliance power supply cable

need to be replaced, this should be carried

out by our Service Centre.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed

the power supply cable is easily accessible.

Your new washing machine

This new washing machine, patented Electrolux, meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with

low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is

proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed.

•The programme selector dial permits to choose the type of laundry, the temperature of washing and some

special programmes.

•The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

•The balance control device ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

•The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.
