CAUTION!
-
Never stop a washer-dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
-
Do not dry cloths in washer-dryer with dry clean solvents. Also, do not use laundry enhancement products during the drying cycle.
To minimize the risk of fire in a washer-dryer, the following should be observed:
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not placed in a washer-dryer. Oil-affected items can ignite sponta­neously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in washer-dry­er. The items become warm, causing an oxidation creates heat.
If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in washer-dryer, it should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The “cool down” cycle of washer-dryer is used to reduce the temperature of the items. It should not be removed from the washer-dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry­cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in washer-dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environ­ments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosine, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber, like materials should not be dried in a washer-dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can produce fire by spontaneous combustion when heated.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a washer-dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a washer-dryer. Damage to the washer-dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such itmes.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in washer-dryer.

Low sudsing detergent is required for this Washer-Dryer to prevent oversudsing problems, unsatisfactory washing result and harm to the machine.
8.6 Detergents Type And Quantity Of Detergent
Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent or Soap-Based products in your frontload Washer-Dryer. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor.
The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on ;
type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.) ;
degree of soil ;
size of the load ;
wash temperature ; and
hardness of the water used.
the colour of clothes ;
Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufacturers’ instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly.
Water hardness is classified by so-called “degrees” of hardness.
The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable detergents contain substances which in large quantities can upset the delicate balance of nature.
Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled “Front Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or “Matic”.

Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.
Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.
Never wash whites and coloured fabrics 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.
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 a net.
8.4 Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the program charts on page 11.

DRYING HINTS9.
9.1 Preparing The Drying Cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.
ATTENTION!
Before starting the drying program. Make sure the load size does not exceed the maximum drying capacity of the machine. In order to obtain good performances. (Refer page 11)
9.2 Laundry Not Suitable For Drying
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract fluff.
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried to avoid formation of harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash program.
If using liquid detergents, a program without prewash must be selected.
9.3 Garment Labels
For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels:
= May be tumble dried = Drying at high temperature = Drying at reduced temperature = Do not tumble dry.
9.4 Drying Cycle Duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
speed of the final spin;
dryness level required (Extra dry, Cupboard dry, Iron dry);
type of laundry;
weight of the load.
The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in the “Time Dry ” option (see page 14). The experience will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable way according to the different fabrics.
9.5 Additional Drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying program, select a short drying cycle again.
WARNING!
Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of fabrics or garments shrinking.

CARE AND CLEANING11.
WARNING!
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
11.1 External Cleaning
Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.
11.2 Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine.
Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions.
This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
11.3 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.
To run a maintenance wash:
The drum should be empty of laundry.
Select the “Tub Clean” program. Press Start/Pause to start the program.
11.5 Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.
11.4 Maintenance Wash With “Tub Clean” Program
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend to use “Tub Clean” program to clean the drum regularly to remove any residue.
29
Flush it out under a tap to remove any traces of accumulated powder.
11.6 Cleaning The Drawer Recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse program without any clothes in the drum.
WARNING!
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
Do not remove the filter while the
2. appliance is operating. Do not clean the drain pump if the water in the appliance is hot. The water must be cold before you clean the drain pump.
To clean the drain pump:
1.
Open the drain pump door.
2. Place a suitable water container below the recess of the drain pump to collect the water that flows out.
Press the two levers and pull forward the drainage duct to let the water flow out.
11.7 Cleaning The Pump
Regularly examine the drain pump and make sure that it is clean.
Clean the pump if:
The appliance does not drain the water.
The drum cannot turn. The appliance makes an unusual noise
because of the blockage of the drain pump.
The display shows an alarm code because of the problem with water drain.
30 www.electrolux.com
3. When the container is full of water, put the drainage duct back again and empty the container. Do step 2, 3 again and again until no more water flows out from the drain pump.
4. Push back the drainage duct and turn the filter counter-clockwise to remove it.
5. Remove fluff and objects from the pump (if there are any).
6. Make sure that the impeller of the pump can turn. If this does not occur, contact the service centre.

14.2 Positioning
It is important that your machine stands firm and leveled on the floor to ensure correct operation. The appliance must not be installed behind a lockable door, a sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to avoid restricting the machine door.
Use a spirit level on the top and side of the machine to check the levels.
Put the plastic caps in the holes (X3).
12. You can find these caps in the user manual bag.
If you do not have a spirit level, as a guide use the edge of a door frame, cupboard or bench to check that the machine is leveled.
41
Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. A correct adjustment of the appliance level prevents vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.
clockwise “DOWN”
counter clockwise “UP”
When the Washer-Dryer is levelled, try to rock it from corner to corner. If it does rock, adjust the legs again until it is levelled and does not rock.
14.3 Water Inlet
Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4” BSP thread.
Use the hose supplied with the Washer­Dryer. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.
check
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.
Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. 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 cupboard units.

15.3 Ecological Hints
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.
