Instructions for use

1 Safety

The safety of ELECTROLUX electrical appliances
conforms to the recognised technical regulations
and the legislation covering the safety of appliances.
However, as manufacturers, we still regard it as our
responsibility to inform you of the following safety
information.

Prior to initial start-up

• Refer to the ”Installation and Connection
Instructions” later in this user information.

• When the unit is delivered in winter months with
minus temperatures: Store the washing machine
for 24 hours at room temperature before putting it
into operation.

Correct Use

• The washing machine is only designed for normal
domestic washing. If the unit is used for purposes
other than that for which it is designed, the manu­facturer can accept no liability for any resulting
damages.

• For safety reasons, conversions or modifications
to the washing machine are not permissible.

• Use only detergents which are suitable for wash­ing machines. Follow the washing detergent man­ufacturer's instructions.

• The washing must not contain any flammable sol­vents. Also remember this when washing pre­cleaned washing.

• Do not use the washing machine for chemical
cleaning.

• Dyes/dye removers may only be used in washing
machines if the manufacturer expressly allows
these products. We cannot be held liable for any
resulting damage.

• Use only water from the water mains. Use rainwa­ter or service water only if it meets the require­ments outlined in DIN1986 and DIN1988.

• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If
the washing machine is in a room which is at risk
from frost, an emergency emptying operation
must be carried out when there is a frost risk (see
the section ”Carry Out Emergency Emptying”).

Child Safety

• Packaging components (e.g. films, polystyrene)
can be hazardous to children. Risk of suffocation!
Keep packaging away from children.

• Children often cannot recognise the hazards
associated with handling electrical appliances.

Therefore, ensure the necessary supervision dur­ing operation and do not allow children to play
with the washing machine – there is a risk that
children can get trapped inside.

• Ensure that children or small animals cannot
climb into the washing machine's drum.

• When disposing of the washing machine: Pull out
the mains plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the
electrical supply lead and throw away the plug
and the left-over cable. This means that children
at play cannot shut themselves inside and in so
doing be in danger.

General Safety

• Repairs to the washing machine may only be car­ried out by qualified specialists. Incorrect repairs
may result in significant risk to the user. If repairs
are necessary, consult our customer service or
your specialist dealer.

• Never use the washing machine if the mains
cable is damaged or the conrol panel, work sur­face or base panel area are so badly damaged
that the interior of the unit is openly accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine before carrying
out cleaning, care and maintenance work. Also
pull the mains plug out of the socket or, – if it is
permanently connected, – switch off the circuit
breaker at the household power distribution box
or completely remove the screw-in fuse.

• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance
from the mains supply and shut off the tap.

• Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the
socket. Always pull the plug itself.

• Multiple connectors, couplings and extension
cables must not be used. There is a risk of fire

with overheating!

• Do not spray down the washing machine with a
water jet. Risk of electric shock!

• The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of
wash programmes with high temperatures. Do
not touch!

• Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying
out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning
the drain pump.

• Small animals can chew the power cables and
water hoses. Risk of electric shock and danger of
water damage! Keep small animals away from the
washing machine.

2 Disposal

Dispose the packing material!

Dispose of your washing machine's packaging cor­rectly. All the packaging materials used are harmless
to the environment and can be recycled.

• Plastic parts are marked with standard interna­tional abbreviations:

>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping

material

>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material

(always CFC-free)

>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips

• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recy­cled paper and should be deposited in the waste
paper collection for recycling.

Dispose the old appliance!

When you finally put your appliance out of operation,
please bring it to your nearest recycling centre or to
your dealer.

2 Environment Tips

• The pre-wash cycle is not required for averagely
dirty washing. This saves washing powder/liquid,
water and time (and does not harm the environ­ment).

• The washing machine is especially economical
when you fully utilise the stated filling quantities.

• For small amounts of washing, use only half to
two thirds the recommended amount of washing
powder/liquid.

• Suitable pretreatment enables stains and small
amounts of dirt to be removed. You can then
wash at a lower temperature.

• Use the energy-saving program to wash gar­ments which are lightly to moderately dirty.

• There is often no need for conditioner. Try it once!
If you use a dryer, your washing will become soft
and velvety even without conditioner.

• In the case of medium to high water hardness,
(hardness range II or higher, see ”Washing and
Care Agents”), you should use water softener.
The washing powder/liquid can then always be
metered for hardness range I (= soft).

Water Protection Aqua Control

In the event of damage to the supply hose, the sys­tem blocks the further supply of water to the unit
directly at the water tap.
If water escapes elsewhere, the drainage pump
automatically pumps off – even if the unit is switched
off. The washing machine merely has to be con­nected to the electricity mains.

Before the First Wash

Carry out a washing operation without washing.
COTTONS/LINEN 95 °C (Koch-/Buntwäsche, Cou­leurs), with half the quantity of washing powder.
This removes residues left over from production on
the drum and solution container.

Prepare the Washing Cycle

Sort and Prepare the Washing

• Sort the washing according to care codes and
type (see ”Washing Types and Care Codes”).

• Empty pockets.

• Remove metal parts (paper clips, safety pins

etc.).

• To prevent washing damage and washing snags:
Close zip fasteners, button closed bed covers
and pillow cases, and tie together ribbons, e.g. on
aprons.

• Use clothing made of double-layer fabric (sleep­ing bag, anorak etc.).

• On knitted, coloured textiles and on wool and tex­tiles with fitted decorations: Turn inside out.

• Wash small and sensitive items (baby socks,
stockings, tights, bras etc.) in a washing net, a
cushion with a zip fastener or in larger socks.

• Treat curtains with particular care. Remove small
metal rollers or small, burred rollers or tie them in

a net or in a bag. We cannot accept any liability
for damage.

• Do not wash coloureds and whites together in
one washing cycle. Otherwise, whites will discol­our or turn grey.

• New coloureds often contain surplus dye. It is
best to wash such items separately the first time.

• Mix small and large items of washing! This
speeds up theeffect of washing and the washing
is more favourably distributed during spinning.

• Loosen up the washing before loading it into the
washing machine.

• Put the washing into the drum folded out.

• Pay attention to the care instructions ”Wash sep-

arately” and ”Wash separately several times”!

Washing Types and Care Codes

The care codes help you choose the correct washing
program. The washing should be sorted according to
type and care code. The temperatures stated in the
care codes are all maximum values.

Cottons ç

Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care code
are insensitive to mechanical stress and high tem­peratures. The program COTTONS/LINEN (Koch-/
Buntwäsche, Couleurs) is suitable for this type of
washing.

Linen èë

Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care code
are insensitive to mechanical stresses. The program
COTTONS/LINEN (Koch-/Buntwäsche, Couleurs) is
suitable for this type of washing.

Easy-Care Garments êí

Textiles such as finished cottons, cotton mixtures,
viscose and synthetics with this care code require
mechanically more mild treatment. The program
EASY-CARES/EASY IRON (Pflegeleicht, Textiles
Melanges/Leichtbügeln, Fâcile à Repasser) is suita­ble for this type of washing.

Delicates ì

Textiles such as layered fibres, microfibres, viscose,
synthetics and curtains with this care code require
very gentle treatment. The program DELICATES
(Feinwäsche, Délicat) is suitable for this type of
washing.

Wool and Very Sensitive Washing

9ìï

Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with
this care code are especially sensitive to mechanical
stresses. The program WOOL (Wolle, Laine)/P
(handwash) is suitable for this type of textiles.

Attention! Textiles with the care code ñ (Do not
wash!) must not be washed in the washing machine!

12

Washing Detergents and Care Agents

Which washing detergent and care
agent?

Use only washing detergents and care agents which
are suitable for use in washing machines. Always fol­low the manufacturer's instructions.

How much washing detergent and
care agent?

The amount to be used depends on:

• the dirtiness of the washing

• the hardness category of the mains water supply

• the filling quantity

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness cate­gory II or higher) you should use water softener. Pay
attention to the manufacturer's instructions. Always
then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft).
The responsible water works can provide information
on the local water hardness.

2

Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's
instructions on use and dosage.

2

If the detergent manufacturer gives no
details of the dosing quantities for minimum
loads, add one third less for half loads and,
in the case of very small loads and for EASY
IRON (Leichtbügeln, Fâcile à Repasser), only
half the amount of detergent recommended
for a full load.

Since the water softener is added before the
main washing detergent, (water pre-soften­ing), eighty percent of the softener quantity
stated on the package is sufficient.

Water Hardness Details

Hardness Category

I – soft 0 - 7 up to 1.3

II – medium hard 7 - 14 1.3 - 2.5

III – hard 14 - 21 2.5 - 3.8

IV – very hard over 21 over 3.8

Run a Washing Cycle

Brief Instructions

A washing cycle is run in the following steps:

1. Set the correct washing program:
– Set the program and temperature with the pro-

gram selector

– Set any additional program(s) if required

2. Change the spin speed if necessary / select
RINSE HOLD (Spülstopp, Arrêt Cuvé Pleine).

3. Set DELAY TIMER (Zeitvorwahl, Départ Différé) if
necessary.

4. Open the filling door and fill with washing.

5. Close the filling door.

6. Add washing detergent/care agent.

7. Start the washing program.

After the Washing Program Ends:

Attention! If the washing cycle ended with RINSE

HOLD (Spülstopp, Arrêt Cuvé Pleine), before open­ing the filling door carry out PUMP OUT (Pumpen,
Vidange), SPIN (Schleudern, Essorage) or SHORT
SPIN (Schonschleudern, Essorage Délicat).

8. Open the filling door and remove the washing.

9. Switch off the washing machine: Set the program

selector to OFF (Aus, Arrêt).

14

900 rpm

Select RINSE HOLD

Continue pressing the spin speed/RINSE HOLD
(Spülstopp, Arrêt Cuvé Pleine) button until the RINSE
HOLD (Spülstopp, Arrêt Cuvé Pleine) indicator is illu­minated.

3

If RINSE HOLD (Spülstopp, Arrêt Cuvé
Pleine) is selected, the washing will remain in
the final rinse water and will not be spun.
The washing will not be spun throughout the
entire wash cycle. As a result the cycle is a
very quiet one. RINSE HOLD (Spülstopp,
Arrêt Cuvé Pleine) is therefore especially
suitable for washing at night.
Note: The laundry remains lying in the water
until you drain or spin (see section “Washing
Cycle Ended”). After 18 hours however, it is
automatically drained and pumped.

If the washing result is not satisfactory

If the washing is grey and limescale
forms in the drum

• Not enough washing detergent added.

• The right washing detergent was not used.

• Special types of stain were not pretreated.

• Program or temperature incorrectly set.

• If binary wahing detergents were used, the indi-

vidual components were not added in the correct

ratio.

If there are still grey stains on the wash­ing

• Washing contaminated with creams, grease or

oils was washing with too little detergent.

• Washing at too low temperature.

• A frequent cause is that conditioner – particularly

concentrated form, ended up on the washing.

Wash out such stains as quickly as possible and

carefully use the right conditioner.

If foam is still visible after the final rinse

• Modern washing detergents can still produce
foam, even in the final rinse. The washing is still
sufficiently rinsed.

If there are white residues on the wash­ing

• These are the insoluble components of modern
detergents. They are not the result of an insuffi­cient rinsing effect.
Shake or brush off the washing. Perhaps in future
you should turn the washing before washing it.
Check the choice of detergent and use a liquid
detergent if necessary.

Carry Out Emergency Emptying

• When the washing machine no longer pumps off
the washing solution, an emergency emptying
operation must be carried out.

• When the washing machine is in a room where
there is a frost risk, an emergency emptying oper­ation must be carried out when there is a frost
risk.
Also: Unscrew the intake hose from the water tap
and lay it on the floor. Empty the drainage hose.

Cleaning the drain pump

The drain pump is maintenance-free. Opening the
cover of the drain pump is required only in the event
of a malfunction when no more water is being
pumped out, e.g. if the pump wheel is blocked.
Before loading the machine, please always ensure
that there are no foreign objects present in the pock­ets or in between the items to be washed. Paper
clips, nails etc. which may find their way into the
washing machine along with the washing will remain
in the drain pump housing (foreign objects remain in
the pump wheel as protection).
To restart the drain pump when it is blocked, please
proceed as follows:

onto its right side (looking from the front). Electri­cal components could get wet!

• Check the washing machine for transport dam­age. Never connect a damaged unit. Consult your
supplier in the event of damage.

• Ensure that all parts of the transport safeguard
have been removed and that the splash guard is
fitted to the unit, see ”Removing the Transport
Safeguard”. Otherwise, damage to the unit or to
adjacent furniture could occur during spinning.

• Always insert the plug into a correctly installed PE
socket.

• In the case of permanent installation: A perma­nent installation may only be made by an author­ised specialist.

• Before putting the unit into operation, ensure that
the rated voltage and current type shown on the
unit's rating plate are the same as the mains volt­age and current type at the installation location.
The required electrical fuse is also shown on the
rating plate.

• Should work be carried out on the water supply
installations in order to allow the machine to be
connected properly to the water supply, this work
must be carried out by an authorised installer.

• Should work be carried out on the mains supply
in order to allow the machine to be connected
properly to the electricity supply, this work must
be carried out by an authorised electrician.

• The mains cable may only be replaced by the
Customer Service or by an authorised specialist.

Setting Up the Unit

3

Washing machines with curved panels are

not suitable for substructures.

Transporting the Unit

• Do not place the washing machine on its front
side or on its right side (looking from the front).
Otherwise the electrical components can get wet.

• Never transport the unit without using the trans­port safeguard. Do not remove the transport safe­guard until you reach the installation site.
Transporting the unit without the transport safe­guard can result in damage to the unit.

• Never lift the unit by the open filling door or by its
base.

When transporting the unit with a sack
trolley:

• Attach the sack trolley only at the side. The scoop
of the sack trolley must not be longer than 24cm,
otherwise the float switch can be destroyed.

36

Removing the Transit Bars/Bolts

Important Before the appliance is used for the first

time, the transit bars/bolts must be removed. Keep
all the parts of the transit bars/bolts in a safe place in
case they are needed for a later journey (moving
house).

1. On the back of the appliance open both hose
holders and take out hoses and power cable.

2. Remove both hose holders from the appliance by
pulling hard.

Important! Press the sealing cap in firmly so that
it engages in the back (protects the inside of the
appliance against splashes).

Prepare the Installation Location

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and
free of floor wax residue and other lubricating
coatings so that the unit does not slide away. Do
not use any lubricants as sliding aids.

• It is not recommended to set up the washing
machine on deep-pile carpets or on floor cover­ings with soft foam underlays, as this would mean
that the stability of the unit would not be guaran­teed.

• Use ordinary rubber mats as underlays in loca­tions with small-format tiles.

• Never use wood, card or similar underlays to
compensate for minor floor unevenness. Always
use the adjustable screw-type feet of the
machine.

• If, for reasons of space, it is not possible to avoid
setting up the unit next to a gas cooker or coal
stove: Insert a thermally-insulating panel between
the washing machine and the cooker (85 x 57cm).
This panel must have an aluminium foil on the
side against the cooker.

• The washing machine must not be set up in a
room where there is a danger of frost. Frost dam­age!

• The intake and drainage hoses must not be bent
or pinched.

38

Setting Up on a Concrete Pedestal

When setting up the washing machine on a concrete
pedestal, it is essential for safety reasons to fit stand
plates in which the washing machine is then
adjusted. The stand plates are available from the
Customer Service Centre.

Setting Up on a Vibrating floor

In the case of vibrating floors, especially wooden
beam floors with flexible boards, securely screw a
water-resistant wooden panel at least 15mm thick
onto at least 2 of the floor beams. If possible, set up
the unit in a corner of the room where the wooden
floor is best firmly installed and is therefore least
likely to be susceptible to vibrations.

Compensate for Floor Unevenness

Floor unevenness can be compensated for and the
height can be corrected with the four adjustable
screw feet. The height can be adjusted in a range of
+10 ... -5 mm.

To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied
for removing the transport braces.

1. Slide the special key firmly onto the hexagon
head of the threaded foot as far as it will go.

2. Adjust the screw feet so that the unit is horizontal
and stable. The unit must not wobble over when
loaded.

3. If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.

Attention! Never compensate for minor floor une-

venness with underlays made of wood, card etc.
Always adjust the adjustable feet.

39

Electrical Connection

Refer to the rating plate for details of the mains volt­age, current type and the necessary fuses. The rating
plate is located at the top behind the filling door.

Water Drainage

The drainage hose can either be connected to a
siphon or hung in a wash basin or bath tub.
Only original hoses may be used for extension pur­poses (max. 3m on the floor and then up to 80cm
high). The Customer Service stocks hoses in lengths
of 2.7 and 4m.

Attention! It is absolutely essential to install the
drainage hose free of pinches.

Water Drainage into a Siphon

The grommet on the end of the hose fits all com­monly used siphon types.

Secure the grommet/siphon connecting point with a
hose clamp.

Draining the water into a basin

Attention!

– Small basins are not suitable for draining the

water into them. Water could overflow!

– It is not permitted to submerge the end of the

drainage hose into the pumped-off water. Water
could be sucked up into the hose!

– When hooked into a wash-basin or a bath tub the

drainage hose must be protected from slipping
out of place by the supplied slip-on elbow. Other­wise the repelling power of the draining water can
press the hose out of the sink.

Fix the elbow to the water tap or to the wall with
string.

Delivery Heads over 1m

To pump off the washing / rinsing agent, every wash­ing machine has a pump which transports liquids via
the drainage hose up to a height of 1m, calculated
from the machine's floor.

For delivery heads over 1m, consult the Customer
Service.

Service

In the section ”What to do if ...” there is a list of some
faults which you can remedy yourself. Look there
first if a fault occurs. If you find no information there,
please consult your Customer Service Centre.
Always prepare in advance for the discussion. By
doing so you will simplify the diagnosis and the deci­sion on whether customer service is necessary.
Note the PNC-number and the S-number. Both can
be found on the rating plate on the inside of the door
on your washing machine

PNC: ......................................................................

S-No.: ......................................................................

Answer as precisely as possible:

• What form does the fault take?

• Under what circumstances does the fault occur?

• Does the multidisplay show an error message?

When do you incur costs even during the
warranty period?

– if you could have dealt with the fault yourself with

the aid of the Faults Table (see the section ”What
to do if ...”) ,

– if several trips by the customer service technician

are necessary because he had not received all the
necessary information before his visit and must
now e.g. fetch spare parts. These multiple trips
can be avoided if you prepare your phone call as
described above.
