Inner washbowl design

The design of the inner washbowl is the most apparent change to your washing machine.

Gone are the hundreds of drain holes normally seen in the washbowl. These have been replaced with a few slot shaped holes inside teardrop shaped indentations arranged evenly around the washbowl wall. The number and design of the drain holes control the ﬂow of water from the washbowl to the outer bowl.

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. Additionally, when you choose to use Eco rinse with the new

machine, considerable water savings can be made.

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.

If you have previously used a top load agitator type washer, you need to know that your new washer works differently. This washer uses much less water per load of washing and does it through two new technologies.

1. Water Aid Recirculation system – In most wash and

deep rinses the recirculation system is active and a recirculation pump runs to keep water at a low level in the outer bowl, and at a correct level in the washbowl.

Water Aid recirculation saves 33% of wash and deep rinse water.

However, to give better wash results for some types of loads, soil levels and detergent combinations, some programs do not have the recirculation system active in the wash stage, and some programs do not have the recirculation system active in both the wash and

DEEPåRINSEåSTAGESåSEEå7ATERå!IDåRECIRCULATIONåSYSTEMå

active programs on page 7.) Savings in water usage are realised whatever your load size. Load sensing coupled

WITHåTHEå7ATERå!IDå3YSTEMåENSURESåTHATåONLYåTHEåCORRECTå

amount of water required is used. The machine senses the load size and adjusts the amount of water required while continuing to keep water at a low level in the outer bowl.

2. 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 four 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.

recirculation system is active (see table on page 7), and choosing an Eco rinse, will use less than half the water of traditional top load washing machines.

There will be a delay to allow water to ﬂow through washbowl drain holes into the outer bowl. After the delay, the drain pump will start pumping water out through the drain hose and then the pump will stop. The drain pump will cycle ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ in this manner several times, waiting each time for water to move from the washbowl to the outer bowl before starting again. You will hear the drain pump switching on and off during draining stages of the wash program.

The rinse options

There are three rinses to choose from… Eco, FastEco rinse and Deep rinse.

Detergent recommendation

Using water saving technologies of this machine, it is similar to a front load 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”.

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 5 and 6. 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 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 6).

About your washing machine

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 ﬂexibility of a traditional top load washing machine. (See Lid Locked on page 11 for more information).

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 12)

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.

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 levels, detergent types and available 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 or soils on some items, please read the section Residues on washed items. (See page 15) Over time you will learn what is the best set-up of programs, detergent and load sorting for different load types and soils.

4 about your washing machine electrolux water aid washing machine

Page 9

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.

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 sufﬁcient 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 12)

Manual water level options

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.

If you do not close the lid after 10 seconds, the pump will stop and the water level in the washbowl will begin to drop. If the lid is left open, the water level can drop a maximum 100mm as water drains from the inner to the outer bowl. The level of water may then appear too low for your wash load, but closing the lid will start the recirculation pump and the water level will return to the working level, ie. rise by a maximum 100mm.

If you are using program settings where the recirculation system is not active, the water level will not change when you open the lid.

Delay start option

This option permits you to start the wash after a delay of a deﬁned number of hours. The selection range is 0 hours to 12 hours maximum, in 1 hour increments.

DRIP DRY spin option.

Eco rinses are not designed to be used with fabric softener. Select Deep rinse if you are going to use fabric softener. Deep rinse ensures the fabric softener is correctly dispensed and thoroughly removed from your clothes during rinsing.

If your cold water supply pressure is low, Eco rinse might not be fully effective in rinsing suds from your clothes. If this is the case then use Deep rinse.

Spin speed and drip dry option

You can select either one of the Spin speeds or the DRIP DRY (no spin) option. The display screen will show you the spin speed in rpm for the selection you make or DRIP DRY. There are three levels of spin speed you can select from indicated by the bars shown between SPIN and speed rpm at the spin option in the right hand screen.

One bar l on screen is low spin speed.

Two bars ll on screen is medium spin speed.

Three bars lll on screen is high spin speed.

Actual spin speeds will vary with, and be appropriate to, the Fabric selection.

The fourth selection you can make is DRIP DRY. (No spin)

NOTE: Select a Deep rinse option for a drip dry wash. You cannot select DRIP DRY when either Eco rinse or FastEco rinse option is selected.

Drip dry wash information

Drip dry clothes, clothes that need to be taken out of the washing machine dripping wet, do not require a spin cycle after deep rinse. At the end of the drip-dry normal rinse,

the washing machine will stop. In the left hand screen you will be prompted to remove the drip dry clothes from the washbowl. Open the lid and remove the drip dry clothes. To drain the remaining water from the washing machine, simply close the lid.

Progress of your wash program

Once you have started your wash by pressing Start/Pause, you can see what your machine is doing and where it is in the wash program by looking at the screen displays. Animations are shown on the left hand screen representing the stage in the wash. You will see animations representing stages eg. ﬁll, wash, rinse, spin, etc as shown below.

In addition, on the right hand screen each stage is highlighted as it takes place during the progress of your wash. If you wish to advance to the next stage of the wash program eg. stop the wash agitation stage and go to rinse and spin, press the Fabric button and select RINSE&SPIN program.

Lid locked

The message ‘SAFETY Lid is locked’ will appear in the right hand display screen to advise you when the lid of the washing machine is locked in the closed

position. The lid will be automatically locked when the washbowl is spinning during a wash program. To ﬁll and agitate, the lid must be closed, but will not be automatically locked. If the lid is open and the machine is waiting for it to be closed for the wash program to continue, you will get a message on the screen telling you to close the lid. Should you need to access the washbowl during spin, press Start/Pause. You will have to wait a short time for the bowl to stop spinning before the lid unlocks and the ‘SAFETY Lid is locked’ message disappears. If then you open and close the lid, and the machine is still in a spin stage of the wash program, the lid will lock and the machine will continue to complete the spin stage.

The Drain Pause option allows you to save the water either from the wash stage or deep rinsing stage, or from both of these stages of 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.

Helpful hints in dealing with washing problems

Residues on washed items

tips and information

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 residue evident on lighter coloured clothes.

If you are experiencing residue on some clothes, the following tips will help:

såå#HECKåTHATåYOUåAREåUSINGåFRONTåLOADåTYPEåDETERGENTåTOå

minimise over-sudsing. You may ﬁnd different brands of detergent give better results. Liquid detergent may be better than powder in your situation.

Yellowing or greying clothes

Problem Possible causes What to do

Greyness Incorrect wash times and using insufﬁcient 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 Efﬁciency 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.

Stained clothes

The guide to stain removal on page 16 may assist you in stain removal. Alternatively, you can access the Stain Guide available in the User Help menu and view this on the display screen of your washing machine. See User Help menu on page 12. 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.

Do you remember the last time you opened a gift that made you say “Oh! How did you know? That’s exactly what I wanted!” That’s the kind of feeling that the designers at Electrolux seek to evoke in everyone who chooses or uses one of our products. We devote time, knowledge, and a great deal of thought to anticipating and creating the kind of appliances that our customers really need and want.

This kind of thoughtful care means innovating with insight. Not design for design’s sake, but design for the user’s sake. For us, thoughtful design means making appliances easier to use and tasks more enjoyable to perform, freeing our customers to experience that ultimate 21st century luxury, ease of mind. Our aim is to make this ease of mind more available to more people in more parts of their everyday lives, all over the world. So when we say we’re thinking of you, you know we mean just that.
