New water saving technology
This washing machine features many wash program options
allowing you to select exactly the right combination for each
wash load to clean and care for your clothes.
environmental tip
• This washer is energy and most water
when used with a full load of clothes and with Eco rinse
selected.
• • The
time you switch on your new machine, Eco
rinse is selected for you to help you save money and to
reduce the impact on the environment. You can select
Deep Rinse for your first wash load if you wish.
Eco rinse is available as the preferred rinsing option. It is
done by spraying water on the clothes, spinning the water
out and repeating this sequence five more times. Deep
rinse is available but the clothes are fully submerged in
rinse water before draining and final spin. Eco and deep
are both effective at removing detergent. In this washer,
Eco rinse saves 75% of the deep rinse water used in
a traditional top load agitator machine and is not designed
for use with fabric conditioner.
The rinse options
There are two rinses to choose from… Eco rinse and Deep
rinse.
Rinse option
Eco
Eco rinse Eco rinse is a spray
rinse giving you
maximum water saving
Deep
deep rinse Deep rinse uses much
more water
How does Eco Rinse work?
When Eco Rinse is used, rinse water is sprayed into the
washbowl in pulses. After each pulse the washbowl will
spin to remove detergent laden water from the clothes.
The machine will go through a series of six pulse spray and
short spin cycles in this manner, followed by a final long spin
that removes the water from the clothes to complete the full
wash program.
Compare this with deep rinse where much more water is used.
For deep rinse, water enters the machine filling up to the
wash water level selected. The washer agitates and finally
empties the rinse water through the drain hose.
tips and information
If you are selecting the Wool wash program or you intend
to use fabric softener, you need to read “Rinse Option”
“Operating your washing machine”.
We recommend you read the instructions for adding
detergent, fabric softener or bleach before you do your first
wash load. See pages 7 and 8.
Detergent recommendation
Water efficiency of this top load washing machine is as good
as a front loading washing machine, and its revolutionary
design is optimised for low sudsing detergents.
caution
Use only low sudsing detergent designed for use
in front load washing machines or high efficiency
washers - for example, Cold Power for Front Loaders
and High Efficiency Top Loaders or detergents
labelled “Matic”.
• Failure to use the recommended detergent, or using too
much detergent is likely to create over-sudsing and give
poor rinse and spin performance.
• If you are using concentrated detergent it is very easy to
accidentally overdose. Take care.
• Detergent in tablet form or sachets should be dropped
directly into the washbowl i.e. do NOT put them in the
dispenser drawer.
Detergent and fabric softener dispenser
Your washing machine has a dispenser drawer that will
automatically add detergent and fabric softener to your
wash load, dispensing them at the correct time in the wash
program you have selected. You will find the dispenser
drawer in the top panel of your washing machine, above
the washbowl. The dispenser can be used with powder or
liquid detergents by following the instructions on pages 7
and 8.
If you prefer not to use the dispenser to add detergent, mix
the detergent in one litre of hot or warm water and add
pre-mixed detergent to your wash load in the washbowl.
tips and information
You must use the dispenser drawer if you select the Delay
start option.
Fabric softeners help make clothes softer and fluffier, and
Fabric Softener recommendation
If you use fabric softener, you need to select the Deep rise
option and not use Eco rise for your wash load. (See
“Rinse Option”)
Fabric softener makes clothes softer and reduces static
so that clothes do not cling to you when worn. However,
you do not have to use softener, your machine will wash
perfectly well without it. (For more information, refer pages
7 and 8)
they reduce the static so that clothes do not cling to you
when you are wearing them. However, you do not have to
use them, your washing machine will function perfectly well
without them. (For more information turn to page 8
).

Lid lock feature
Lid lock is a safety feature in your washing machine to
ensure the lid is not opened during a stage in the wash
program when it would be hazardous for you to do so.
The lid will lock in the closed position when the machine
is spinning. The right hand display screen will show the
message: ‘SAFETY Lid is locked’.
caution
Do not try to force open the lid when it is locked.
At all other times, you will be able to easily open the lid
when it is unlocked and the safety message is not showing
on the display screen. This gives you the exibility of a
traditional top load washing machine.
(See Lid Locked on page 14 for more information).
Button response and display screens
tips and information
Always press the buttons gently.
• Watch the display screens on the control panel to see
what effect pressing a button has, and listen for the
‘beeps’.
• When you press a button you will get a short ‘beep’ to
acknowledge the entry. If you press a button and the
option is not available at the time, a long ‘error beep’
will be heard.
• Sometimes you will get a delay after pressing a button
before the machine responds.
• Depending on the mode of the machine, buttons may
not serve a purpose or may serve a different functional
purpose, examples are:
– Modify Option button serves no purpose unless you
have first selected an edit field using Select Option
button; OR
– Fabric and Dirt Level buttons are used for selecting
menu items when you have accessed the User Help
menu.
The display screen will tell you when to use the buttons
in their new functional mode.
• Display screens – screen saver
To save energy, the backlights for the display screens
may turn off. The message SCREEN SAVER MODE
shows on the right hand screen. Do not press the
Power button, but you can press any other button
once to bring the backlights back on. Alternatively, the
backlights will come on if you open or close the lid.
Auto water levels
Your washing machine has selectable AUTO sensing water
level option as well as allowing you to choose a manual
water level if you wish. When you turn on your machine, the
water level defaults to AUTO.
We recommend you use the Auto water level option to
ensure there is just the right amount of water for the wash
load in the machine. In other words, it will usually give you
the best wash while also being the most efficient in terms of
water usage.
At times during a wash it may appear your machine is
either doing nothing or intermittently it is only gently
vibrating/jiggling/agitating.
This is because your machine could be:
• In AUTO sensing test mode and the machine is
determining the correct amount of water for your wash.
(See page 12).
• At a drain stage of the wash program and the machine
is allowing time for water to flow from the washbowl to
the outer bowl.
(See ‘Draining wash and deep rinse water’ page 4).
• Engaging or disengaging the drive clutch mechanism.
Wait a short time, your washing machine will complete the
above tasks and continue with the wash.
The amount of water for AUTO is factory set at an
optimised level. You can adjust the AUTO level up or down
by a small amount. This option is available at the Adjust
Settings sub-menu in the User Help menu. (See page 14)
Out of balance interruption
The washing machine can stop during rinse and spin stages
of a wash program because of an out of balance condition.
Out of balance is caused by uneven distribution of clothes
in the washbowl. A message will appear on the left hand
display screen telling you this has happened.
To rectify the out of balance condition, open the lid and
redistribute the clothes evenly in the space between the
agitator and the wall of the washbowl. You may have to
wait a moment for the lid to unlock before opening the lid.
Closing the lid will start the machine and resume the wash
program.
If you have frequent out of balance interruptions, it may be
due to your washing machine not standing firm and level on
the floor. This can be corrected by adjusting the machine
legs as described in the installation instructions supplied
with your machine.
Using too high a water level for small loads can also cause
out of balance interruption. Select lower water levels when
washing small loads.

Lid lock feature
Lid lock is a safety feature in your washing machine to
ensure the lid is not opened during a stage in the wash
program when it would be hazardous for you to do so.
The lid will lock in the closed position when the machine is
spinning. The “Lid Locked” indicator light will be on.
caution
Do not try to force open the lid when it is locked.
At all other times, you will be able to easily open the lid
when it is unlocked and the indicator light is off. This gives
you the exibility of a traditional top load washing machine.
(See Lid Locked on page 19 for more information).
Auto sensing water level feature
Auto sensing is a feature where the washer fills automatically
with water to just the right level for your clothes load. You do
have the option to manually set the water level if you wish.
When you turn on your machine, and after a wash has
finished in preparation for the next wash, the water level
defaults to auto.
We recommend you use the auto sensing water level option
to ensure there is just the right amount of water for the
wash load in the machine. In other words, it will usually give
you the best wash while also being the most efficient in
terms of water usage.
At times during a wash it may appear your machine is either
doing nothing or intermittently it is only gently vibrating/
jiggling/agitating.
This is because your machine could be:
• In auto sensing test mode and the machine is
determining the correct amount of water for your wash.
(See page 18).
• At a drain stage of the wash program and the machine
is allowing time for water to flow from the washbowl to
the outer bowl.
• Engaging or disengaging the drive clutch mechanism.
Wait a short time, your washing machine will complete the
above tasks and continue with the wash.
The amount of water for auto is factory set at an optimised
level. You can adjust the Auto level up or down by a small
amount. For more information see ‘Customising the auto
sensing water level’ page 21.
Button response and digital display
tips and information

Washing instructions
The washing instructions beginning on the next page are of
a general nature and you should get good wash results by
following them.
However, due to the variables of fabric types, soil level,
detergent types and avaiable program settings you may
find some combinations of these which do not always result
in the perfect wash.
If for example you see residuals of detergent of soil on some
items, please read the section Residues on washed items
on page 25.
Over time you will learn what is the best set-up of programs,
detergent and load sorting for different load types ans soils.

Detergent use
• Don’t use the wrong type of detergent. You must use a
low sudsing detergent designed for front load washing
machines or high efficiency top loaders, such as Cold
Power for Front Loaders and High Efficiency Top
Loaders or detergents labelled “Matic”.
• Don’t use soap-based products in your washing machine.
• Don’t use too much detergent. This will give you too
many suds causing low spin speeds, poor rinsing and
overloading the motor during spin stages of the wash
program.
• Don’t use too little detergent because you will get a poor
wash. If you think you need more, increase dosages by
only small amounts to avoid excessive suds.
Add the detergent
When using the washing machine for the first time, check
that the dispenser is set for the type of detergent you will
use. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.
2. Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it
from the runners.
3. Check the position of the flap at the rear of the
detergent compartment in the dispenser drawer.
(Factory setting is flap up for powder.)
4. Clip the flap down if you are going to use liquid detergent.
5. Refit the dispenser back into its runners.
Remember: If you change the type of detergent
you use, the position of the flap will need
changing. See above.
6. You are now ready to add detergent. Measure the
recommended amount on the detergent package into a
cup and then pour it into the detergent compartment of
the dispenser drawer.
caution
Use only low sudsing detergent designed for use in
front load or high efficiency top load washing machines.
When using liquid detergent, some may leak out of the
dispenser into the wash load earlier than expected through
small openings in the back of the dispenser. These
openings are to help the ushing out of detergent.

Sort your washing into separate wash loads
Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs
the same washing conditions. For example, you should not
wash delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes. Colour
fast and non-colourfast fabrics should be separated.
Knowing the type of fabrics you have and how dirty they
are will help when you make selections from the wash
program options. Some fabrics are lint collectors and can
pick up lint, dirt and colour from other fabrics which are lint
producers. Some examples are listed below:
Lint collectors Lint producers
Corduroy Towels
Synthetics Nappies
Permanent press fabrics Chenille/Candlewick
tips and information
Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint
producers.
Check your clothes to avoid damage
• Empty all pockets. Close all hooks and zippers to avoid
snagging clothes.
• Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh
laundry bag, which you can purchase from your
supermarket.
caution
Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers
• Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers can damage
plastic components on your washing machine.
• If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers,
apply them to the clothing well away from your
washing machine.
Load the washing machine
When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there
are four things to remember:
• Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator. For
best results load small items first, followed by large items.
• Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator.
• The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes
must be able to move around during washing.
• The load should contain only three or four large items,
for example, sheets. The rest of the load should be
small items. A mixed load of large and small items will
wash cleaner than a load of all large items.
Page 8
7. If you want to use fabric softener, see ‘Add fabric softener’.
8. Close the drawer by pushing it backwards into the top
panel of the washing machine when you have finished
adding detergent and softener.
NOTE: When using the DELAY START option with powder
detergent, wipe dry the inside of the dispenser drawer
BEFORE you put the detergent in, otherwise it may harden
and not dissolve correctly.
Add fabric softener
You do not have to use fabric softener, the machine will
function without it.
caution
Do not spill fabric softener on the clothes as it may
stain them.
• Select DEEP rinse if you are going to use fabric softener
in your wash load. (See “Rinse Option”)
• Before adding softener to the dispenser, make sure the
siphon cap is pushed firmly down onto the spigot in
the drawer. The softener will not siphon out if the cap is
incorrectly fitted, is missing or blocked with residue.
You are now ready to add fabric softener.
Measure the correct amount as recommended on the
softener package into a cup and then pour it into the
softener compartment of the dispenser drawer.
caution
Do not overfill the fabric softener dispenser.
Overfilling and then siphoning out too early can cause
softener and detergent to mix resulting in staining problems.
The softener dispenser holds 100ml when filled up to
the MAX marker. Any level lower than MAX will function
correctly.
caution
Only use the detergent compartment for detergent
and the fabric softener compartment for fabric
softener.

Mix the required quantity with water and pour down the
hole in the top panel during the fill when there is some
water in the washbowl. Refer to the instructions on the
bleach container.
• Chlorine type –This type of bleach should not be
mixed with detergent.
Mix the bleach with water as per instructions on the
container. Start to fill the washing machine with water.
When there is some water in the washbowl, pour the
bleach solution down the hole in the top panel. Allow
the washing machine to finish filling and to agitate for a
few minutes, then let it stand for the required time.

Water level
Whenever you press the Power
button to turn on your washing
machine, AUTO water level is
selected for you. We advise you to
use AUTO water level whenever you
can. The AUTO water level ensures
just the right amount of water is used
for the wash load.
Alternatively, you can select a manual water level choosing
the one most appropriate for the wash load you have.
Selection Water level description Indication bars

WATER LEVELS, DEPENDING ON LOAD SIZE
XLO Extra low One bar I
LO Low Two bars II
MED Medium Three bars III
HI High Four bars IIII
XHI Extra high Five bars IIIII
AUTO water level option
When you start your wash program using AUTO water
level, the machine will conduct a series of water fill and
short agitations to determine the amount of water needed.
Normal wash agitation will commence when there is
sufifcient water in the washbowl.
If you add more clothes to the washbowl after an AUTO
water level wash program has started, the machine will
determine if extra water is needed and add it.
tips and information
For AUTO water level, the amount of water the machine
determines is needed for a load is an optimised level. You
can adjust the AUTO level to be a small amount above or
below the optimised level if you consider the amount of
water you normally get using the AUTO option is too high or
too low. This option is available at the Adjust Settings
submenu in the User Help Menu. (See page 14)

One bar l on screen is the shortest wash
time.
The wash time increases with each
additional bar selected until,

Four bars is the preferred wash time to
ensure your clothes are cleaned properly.
tips and information
• Actual wash times vary depending on the Fabric and

If you make a manual water level selection, ie. a level other
than AUTO, do not overfill the washing machine. Use only
the amount of water you need for the wash load.
caution
Do not overfill the washing machine if setting water
level manually.

(see below). For manual water levels, the machine will fill
directly up to the selected level and commence agitation.
Clothes load level indicators
(For guidance only when making a
manual water level selection).
You will find the level indicators on the
agitator. Put your wash load into the
washing machine and look to see which
level mark on the agitator is nearest
to the level of the dry clothes in the
washbowl. Select this manual water level
for you wash load.
NOTE: The level indicators are only a guide. You may have
to change the water level selection if there is insufficient
water for the wash load.

the wash program, for other uses around the home instead of draining it to waste.
If you are going to save water by pumping it to a laundry trough, the trough needs to be able to accommodate approximately 80 litres
of water, and it should have an overflow to waste to avoid flooding the laundry.
Follow the Drain Pause on-screen instructions to use this feature.
Stay with your machine as it drains to ensure it functions properly and to avoid accidental flooding or siphoning of saved water back
into the washing machine.

Caring for your washing machine
Cleaning the lint filter
Lint is a collection of threads and fluff which comes off your
clothes during washing. Your washing machine collects this
lint in the lint filter. It is important to clean out this lint filter,
preferably after each wash.
How to clean the lint lter
• Remove the
column from the centre of the agitator.
• Unclip the
bag from the column.
• Turn the bag inside out and remove the lint.
• Wash the
bag in hot water. Clean the bag with
an old brush, making sure water can ow through the
bag mesh.
• Reassemble the to the column and place it back in
the centre of the agitator.
electrolux water aid washing machine caring for your washing machine 23
What to do after you have finished your washing.
• Press the Power button to switch off the machine.
• Switch off the electricity at the power point.
• Turn off the water taps.
• Leave lid open for a while. This allows time for moisture
inside the washing machine to evaporate and for any
odours to disperse.
Cleaning the dispenser
The dispenser needs to be cleaned regularly, preferably
after each wash. Inspect the dispenser after each wash to
see if there is any residue of detergent or fabric softener.
To do this proceed as follows:
• Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.
• Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it
from the runners.
• Remove the siphon cap from the drawer spigot as
shown below.
• Clean the dispenser drawer, siphon cap and spigot with
hot water and a brush, eg. an old toothbrush.
• Dry the drawer and cap.
• Put siphon cap back onto the spigot, ensuring the cap
is fully pressed down.
• Before replacing the dispenser back in its recess, clean
the inside of the drawer with an old toothbrush.
• Put the dispenser back into its runners and close the
drawer.

Cleaning your washing machine
To clean the inside and outside of your washing machine
you should:
• Wipe the surface with a mild dishwashing detergent and
warm water.
• Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
warning
Never use solvents, aerosol cleaners, spray pack
cleaners, glass cleaners, metal polishes, caustic
materials, scourers or general household cleaners on
or near the top panel and lid, control panel or other
parts of your washing machine.
Cleaning stains in the washbowl
Stains and residue in the washbowl can be caused by:
• Metal objects such as bobby pins, dress making pins
and nails
• Salt
• Body oils and grease from very dirty or sweaty clothes
being deposited around the top of the washbowl
• Excessive foam during wash if incorrect or too much
detergent is used.
tips and information
• Check all pockets before loading clothes into your
washing machine.
• Don’t leave wet clothing (especially swimwear) in the
bowl for too long before you wash it.
How to clean the washbowl
• Wipe with a cleaning product which is suitable for
stainless steel.
• Oily deposits can be removed by wiping surfaces with a
mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.
caution
Never use bleach cleaners or steel wool to clean the
stainless steel washbowl.
Avoiding build-up of undissolved detergents
If you only wash with cold water, undissolved detergent and
body oils will build up in the washing machine. This build-up
can cause spotting on your clothes.
To avoid this build-up:
• Do not use too much fabric softener with cold water.
• Select a hot water wash at least once a month.
Clearing build-up in the washing machine if there is
spotting on your clothes
Select the following to set up a machine cleansing program:
Program Delicate
Dirt Level Light
Water Level Medium
Water Temp. Hot
Spin speed Low
Rinse Option Deep rinse
Soak 1 hour
Put 250 grams of Epsom Salts into the washbowl.
Press Start/Pause to begin the program and allow it to run
to completion.
Removing your washing machine lid
You can remove the lid of your washing machine for easy
cleaning.
When cleaning the lid, use only mild dishwashing detergent
and warm water. See the section on this page “Cleaning
your washing machine”.
How to remove the lid
• Open the lid to a vertical position.
• Look for the hinge clips on the inside of the lid at the
bottom left and right hand corners.
• Press down on each hinge clip, sliding the clips towards
the centre of lid until they reach the stop.
• Lift the lid straight up to remove it from the washing
machine
How to replace the lid
• Make sure the hinge clips are at the stop position. See
below.
• Hold lid vertical and lower it into the lid recess on the
top panel.

Residues on washed items
Yellowing or greying clothes
Problem Possible causes What to do
Greyness Incorrect wash times and using insufcient detergent
which can cause redepositing of detergent on clothes.
1. ONLY use low sudsing, front load washer or HE
detergent in this machine, such as Cold Power for
Front Loaders and High Efciency Top Loaders or
detergent labelled “Matic”.
2. Re-sort load, then re-wash using program selections
suitable for the fabric and hot or warm water.
3. If the water is very dirty or very sudsy, repeat 2
above reducing the amount of detergent you use.
Using incorrect type or too much detergent can cause
poor rinsing and poor spin performance.
Mixing whites with very dirty clothes, eg work clothes.
Using soap akes instead of laundry detergent.
Yellowing A build-up of oils in clothes that come into close
contact with the skin, eg underwear, T-shirts.
1. Re-sort load, then re-wash using wash program
selections suitable for the fabric and hot or warm
water.
2. If the water is very dirty or very sudsy, repeat 1
above reducing the amount of detergent you use.
NOTE: Synthetics which have been washed in very hot
water will not respond to any treatment.
Ageing of clothes.
Iron deposits in the wash water.
Use of chlorine bleaches on fabrics with resin nishes.
Incorrect drying.
Incorrect water temperatures ie. too hot or too cold.
Stained clothes – Hints for removing stains
The guide to stain removal on page 26 may assist you in
stain removal.
Treat all stains as soon as possible. The longer you leave a
stain the harder it will be to remove. Try soakers and stain
removers first.
If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply
them to the clothes items in a well ventilated area away
from your washing machine.
• Avoid the use of hot water on stains as hot water will
set stains.
• Use light strokes and don’t rub the stain remover into
the fabric.
• If you use a chlorine bleach, follow the instructions on
the bottle and dilute it before putting it on clothing.
• Test coloured fabrics on an inside seam for colour
fastness before using any stain removers or bleaches.
• Test synthetic fabric on an inside seam before using any
chemicals or bleaches.
NOTE: Chemicals referred to for stain removal are available
from your local supermarket, hardware store or the chemist.
electrolux water aid washing machine helpful hint in dealing with washing problems 25
Helpful hint in dealing with washing problems
Some detergents have ingredients which do not fully
dissolve and as a consequence, may leave white residue
or particles evident on the surface of darker clothes in the
finished wash load.
Similarly, some soils may not dissolve fully, resulting in
residues evident on lighter coloured clothes.
If you experiencing residue on some clothes, the
following tips will help:
• Check that you are using front load type detergent to
minimise over-sudsing. You may find different brands of
detergent give better results. Liquid detergent may be
better than powder in your situation.
• Reduce detergent dosage to between a 1/2 and 2/3 of
the manufacturer’s standard recommendation to avoid
over concentration (the lower water usage requires lower
detergent usage.)
• Some residue may be re-deposited lint, so be careful to
not have lint producing items in a load which has darker
clothes.
• Select deep rinse and not eco rinse to help flush more
particles away.
• Reduce the clothes load size per wash and use a
manual water level setting to give more freedom for the
clothes to move around in the bowl.
• Use another Program as below, which has been
designed to minimise residual particles (they are in order
of increasing benefit and will help you choose the best
program for your wash load.)
- Any Program, plus the Heavy Dirt Level option setting
- The Normal/Heavy Program, plus the Heavy Dirt Level
option setting.
- The Intensive Program
tips and information
caution
Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers can damage
plastic components on your washing machine.
warning
Do no use dry cleaning fluids or solvents near your
washing machine. These fluids will damage your
washing machine and may cause an explosion.
