• 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.

• The appliance incorporates backflow protection complying with AS/NZS 3500.1.2. No further backflow protection required for connection to the water supply.

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.

To disable this device and restore the possibility of closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise until the groove is vertical.

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!

Tips for environmental protection

Machine

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.

• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

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(s) 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.

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 manual.

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 to a tap with 3/4” BSP

4. Very carefully slide out the right polythene bag, removing it towards the left and then upwards.

thread. Use the hose supplied with the washing machine. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES. 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.

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

P0023

P0022

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 four 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. Floor drain: the washing machine should be installed where a floor drain or hole is located (depending on plumbing regulations). A floor drain is required to drain away water which may overflow from the washing machine due to a hose leak or malfunction.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Centre.

Electrical connection

Plug the washing machine into a properly earthed 3 pin power point.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

CAUTION ! If the appliance is supplied from a cord extension set or an electrical portable outlet device, the cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device must be positioned so that it is not subject to splashing or ingress of moisture.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

IMPORTANT!

If the electrical cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer, Authorised Service Agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

QUICK WASH

This new washing machine, which is fitted with the Direct Spray system, 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 possibility of selecting the temperature, spin speed and all the options offered by this washing machine

gives you truly “customised” washing.

• The DELAY START option allows you to delay starting of the wash programme to any time of day, so

allowing you for instance to make use of overnight economy electricity tariffs.

• The programme progress display shows the programme steps selected and the programme phase which

is running.

• 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.

Washing hints

Sorting the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

90°

60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments

30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in

linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

(cold)for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

woollens. The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark products provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. Licence No. M9605.

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.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

bathrobe 1200 g

napkin 100 g

quilt cover 700 g

sheet 500 g

pillow case 200 g

tablecloth 250 g

towelling towel 200 g

tea cloth 100 g

night dress 200 g

ladies’ briefs 100 g

man’s work shirt 600 g

man’s shirt 200 g

man’s pyjamas 500 g

blouse 100 g

men’s underpants 100 g

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 acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour fastness, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:

– powder detergents for all types of fabric,

– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max)

and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature

wash programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using compact (concentrate) or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrate detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.

Concentrate and liquid detergent can also be measured into the specially designed dosing device/ball which should be placed on top of the laundry and at the back of the machine drum.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»

mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The quantity of detergent will depend on the load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Not enough washing powder causes:

– the washload to turn gray,

– greasy clothes.

Too much washing powder causes:

– sudsing,

– reduced agitation and washing effect,

– inadequate rinsing,

Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,

– the laundry is lightly soiled,

– large amounts of foam form during washing.

Press the START/PAUSE button. The relevant light will stop flashing, the DOOR LOCKED light will light up, and only the light relevant to the phase that is in progress will remain lit. If you have chosen a delayed start, the washing machine will begin the countdown. The display will show the duration of the programme or the selected delay.

12. How to change a programme

during its cycle

Before you make any change, you must pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button. It is possible to change any phase before the programme carries it out. Changing the type of fabric or temperature is possible, obviously, only during the washing phase. When you make a change in these two parameters, the washing machine will resume the cycle from the beginning.

If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the programme in progress, proceed as follows:

• PAUSE the machine by pressing the

START/PAUSE button;

• press the RESET button repeatedly, until

only the DRAIN light remains lit;

• press the START/PAUSE button again.

When the water has been drained, the display shows a blinking zero. You may now select a new programme and press the START/PAUSE button to start it.

13.How to cancel a programme

during its cycle

To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button, then press the RESET button repeatedly, until the display shows three

blinking dashes.

14. How to open the door during

the cycle of a programme

You can open the door, after having set the washing machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist:

• the washing machine is not in the heating phase

beyond 55°C;

• the level of the water is not high;

• the drum is not turning.

If these requirements are met, when you pause the washing machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out and the door can be opened.

Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button.

After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.

Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine!

When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted.

15. End of programme

At the end of the programme, the washing machine stops automatically, gives an audible signal, and displays a blinking zero.

If you had selected the RINSE HOLD option, the light of the START/PAUSE button flashes to indicate that the water must be drained. The display shows a steadily lit zero. When the programme has been completed, a blinking zero appears on the display and the audible signal is given.

The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once.

Press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly to erase the programme that has just been carried out. If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the display and you will hear the audible signal.

Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must

erase the previously performed programme, it is also sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new programme.

Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out.

Remove the laundry from the washing machine.

Check whether the drum is completely empty, by rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry.

We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket.

Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

Maintenance

P1050

P0038

P1086

C0068

C0067 C0066

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried

out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

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.

Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer. Inspect the drawer regularly.

To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner.

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.

Cabinet

Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a detergent used to handwash dishes. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork.

Clean the drawer by rinsing it under a running tap.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.

Drain filter

P1090

P0040

P0859

P0860

P0861

Emergency emptying out

The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean.

Open the filter door.

Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage.

Unscrew the filter and remove it.

Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.

Turn off the water tap.

Unscrew the hose from the tap.

Clean the filter with a stiff brush.

Screw the hose back onto the tap.

If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), 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;

• place a bowl on the floor;

• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out.

Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example, the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out slowly.

At the end screw the filter again.

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.

●

Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme.

To do this:

●

Switch the machine on

●

Select a washing programme

●

Press the RESET (ANUL.) button three times

●

Press START/PAUSE button

●

Disconnect the appliance.

●

Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.

●

When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Trouble-Shooting Guide

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out a service technician. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.

During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:

- E10: problem with the water supply

- E20: problem with water draining

- E40: door open

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

Problem Possible cause

• The machine does not start up:

The machine does not fill:

•

The machine fills then empties

•

immediately:

• The machine does not empty and/or

does not spin:

• There is water on the floor:

• The door is not firmly closed. (E40)

• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power at the socket.

• The main fuse has blown.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been depressed.

• The DELAY START option has been selected.

• The water tap is closed. (E10)

• The inlet hose is squashed or kinked. (E10)

• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (E10)

• The door is not properly closed. (E40)

• The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.

• The drain hose is squashed or kinked. (E20)

• The RINSE HOLD option has been selected.

• The drain filter is clogged. (E20)

• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used.

• Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.

• The drain hose is damaged.

• The drain filter has not been fully screwed in.

Unsatisfactory washing results:

•

The machine vibrates or is noisy:

•

• Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

• The correct temperature was not selected.

• Excessive laundry load.

• The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.

• The support feet have not been adjusted.

• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

Problem Possible cause

• The door will not open:

• Spinning starts late or the laundry is not spun enough:

• No water is visible in the drum

• The machine makes an unusual noise

• The programme is still running, the drum is turning.

• The door lock has not yet released.

• The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.

• The machine is heating the water.

The door can only be opened when the relevant light has gone out.

• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after few minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will spin at a lower speed or will not spin. If at the end of the programme the laundry is not spun enough, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.

• Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.

• The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact your nearest service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the model, serial number and purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre will require this information.
