YOUR NEW WASHING MACHINE
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.
■
Programme selector dial combines the
function of programme and temperature
selection, making it easier to set the
programme.
■
Programme phase indicators keep you
informed on progress of the programme.
■
Fuzzy Logic technology enables the
washing time in the White cotton and
Coloured cotton programmes to be
calculated automatically according to the
weight of the laundry.
■
The special wool programme with its new
delicate wash system treats your woollen
with extreme gentleness.
■
The anti-unbalance device ensures that the
washing machine remains stable when
spinning.
■
The automatic cooling of the washing
water from 95° to 60°C before draining will
prevent old drain pipes from being deformed.
Hints on how to save energy
By following these hints you will obtain
economical washing without damaging the
environment:
■
Whenever possible, wash the maximum load
for the selected programme, without
overloading the drum.
■
Use the prewash programme only for very
soiled laundry.
■
Measure out detergent according to the
water hardness, the degree of soiling and the
quantity of laundry being washed.
■
Use an economy programme for normally
soiled laundry and a short programme when
washing lightly soiled laundry.

Water inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4"
thread.
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 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 stop device
The inlet hose is provided with a water stop
device, which protects against damage caused
by water leaks in the fill hose which could
develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This
fault is shown by a red sector in the window
«A».
Should this occur, turn the water tap off and
refer to your Service Agent to replace the hose.
P0351
P0352
P0021

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. Run it along
the floor; only the part near the drainage point
must be raised.

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 , w oollens .
Temperatures
90°-95° for normally soiled white cottons
and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
60° for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses,
pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or
synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled
white cotton (e.g. underwear).
(cold)
30°-40°
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains),
mixed laundry including synthetic
fibres and woollens bearing the
label «pure new wool, machine
washable, non-shrink».
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.
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.
ENGLISH
91
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, 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 concentrated powder or liquid
detergents, a programme without prewash must
be selected.
The washing machine incorporates a
recirculation system which allows an optimal use
of the concentrated detergent.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting
the programme.
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 type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, 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, or from your
local authority.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions
on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load
– the laundry is lightly soiled
– large amounts of foam form during washing.

This information appears on the Energy label according to EEC Directive 92/75.
ENERGY SAVING (ECONOMY)
Use the “economy” programmes at 60°C and 40°C for normally soiled synthetics and cotton items
(white or coloureds): a considerable saving in power consumption will be obtained. Equally good
results will be achieved because the reduced temperature cycle maintains the full washing time.

MAINTENANCE
1.Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm
water and a neutral, non-abrasive household
detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a
soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits,
solvents or similar products to clean the
bodywork.
2.Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners
leave deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from
the machine, press the button in the rear lefthand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.
P0879
P0878
Detergent can also accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush.
Refit the drawer after cleaning.
3.Drain filter
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 and unscrew it.
Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.

4.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.
5.Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is
blocked, filter or outlet 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 outlet hose end into the bowl and let
the water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the
outlet hose because, for example, the appliance
is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the
outlet filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let
the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
ENGLISH
6.Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:
■
Close the water tap and unscrew the water
inlet hose from the tap.
■
Place the end of the outlet hose and that of
the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor.
■
Select programme D and run it until the
machine stops.
■
Turn the programme selector dial to “O”.
■
Remove the plug from the socket.
■
Screw the water inlet hose back on and put
the outlet hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the
machine is removed, avoiding the formation of
ice and, consequently, breakage of the affected
parts.
When you use the machine again, make sure
that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
Problems which you can resolve yourself
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:
■ Check that the door is firmly closed.
■ Check that the machine is plugged in and
that there is power at the socket.
■ Check that the main fuse has not blown.
■ Check that the programme selector dial is
positioned correctly.
■ Check that the water tap is open.
■ Check that water is coming out of the tap.
■ Check that the inlet hose is not squashed or
kinked.
■ Check that the filter in the inlet hose is not
blocked.
■ Check that the door is closed.
■ The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to
relevant paragraph in “water drainage”
section.
■ Check that the drain hose is not squashed or
kinked.
■ A programme with the “Stop with water in
drum” or “No spin” option has been
selected .
■ 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.
■ Check that the drain hose is not damaged.
■ Unsatisfactory washing results:
■ The machine vibrates or is noisy:
100
■ 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.
■ Check that all the transit bolts and packing
have been removed.
■ Check that the machine is not resting against
anything.
■ Check that the support feet are resting firmly
on the ground and that the lock nuts are
securely tightened.
■ Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in
the drum.
■ Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
■ The door will not open:
■ Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin:
■ The programme is still running.
■ The door lock has not been released.
■ The water level in the appliance is too high or
the appliance is in the heating phase.
■
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 eventually at a lower speed, if
the wash load is not perfectly distributed in
the drum. If, after 15 minutes, the laundry is
still not evenly distributed in the drum, the
machine will not spin. In this case,
redistribute the load manually and reselect
the spin programme.
■ The machine makes an unusual
noise:
■ Water is not visible in the
machine:
If you are unable to identify or solve the
problem, contact our 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.
■ The machine is fitted with a commutator
motor which makes an unusual noise
compared with other traditional machines.
This motor enables a softer start to the spin
and controls the increase in spin speed
better. In this way, machine performance is
improved.
■ The machine, which is the result of modern
technology, runs in a very economical way
with low water consumption. Performance is
nevertheless excellent.
