Installation

2 use / child safety / product information electrolux washer-dryer
• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must not
be used for purposes other than those for which it was
designed.
• Only wash and dry fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed or dried. Follow the instructions on each
garment label
• Do not overload the appliance. See the “Washing and
drying programs” table on pages 11-13.
• Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and
buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or
torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and
grass before washing. Underwired bras must NOT be
machine washed.
warning
Risk of fire! Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources such as in
a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the
heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can
prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. If it
is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking
oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be
placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in
hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.
• Please make sure that no gas lighters or matches have
accidentally been left in pockets of garments to be loaded
into the appliance.
• In order to avoid danger of res caused by excessive
drying, do not use appliance to dry the following items:
cushions, quilts and the like (these items accumulate heat).
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in
the appliance.
• If you have washed your laundry with stain remover you
must execute an extra rinse cycle before drying.
• Garments which have been in contact with volatile
petroleum products should not be machine washed. If
volatile cleaning uids are used, care should be taken to
ensure that the uid is removed from the garment before
placing in the machine.
• As some duvets/doonas and eiderdowns should be
washed/dried in large commercial machines because of
their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item
before washing in a domestic machine.
• Never tumble dry items that have had contact with
chemicals such as dry cleaning uid. These are of a volatile
nature and could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry
items which have been washed in water or require airing.
• Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the
drum during the drying cycle, as the plastic used is not
designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to wash
through-to-dry you should use the conventional detergent
dispenser drawer.
• Do not use tumble dryer if industrial chemicals have been
used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
• Items which have been soiled with substances such as
cooking oil, alcohol, petrol, kerosine, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in
hot water with an extra amount of detergent before drying
in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
• The nal part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat
(cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at the
temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug
from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself.
• Never use your new appliance if the power supply cable,
the control panel, the working surface or the base are
damaged so that the inside of the appliance is accessible.
warning
• Hot surface! Do not touch the back of the appliance
while it is operating.
• Once the drying cycle program has been interrupted, the
laundry and drum may be hot.
• Risk of burns! Take care when removing the laundry.
• Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying
cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out
so that the heat is dissipated.
Use
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic lm, polystyrene)
can be dangerous to children – danger of suffocation!
Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
• See page iii “Child safety device” on how to prevent the
drum door closing.
• See page 3 “Child lock”.
Your new appliance meets all modern requirements for
effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and
detergent consumption. Its new washing system allows
total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so
saving energy.

Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classied 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. If the water hardness degree
is medium or high we suggest you to add a water softener
following always the manufacturer’s instructions. When the
degree of hardness is soft, re-adjust the quantity of the
detergent.
Washing hints and tips
Sorting out 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.
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 rst wash; they
should therefore be washed separately the first time.
• 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.
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 front loader washing machine
detergents (labelled “Matic” or low suds) 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
programs (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 program.
If using liquid detergents, a program without prewash must
be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which
allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent. 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. 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.

10 drying hints and tips electrolux washer-dryer
Drying hints and tips
Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the 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.
caution
Before starting the drying program, reduce the loads of
washed laundry, in order to obtain good performances.
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 parkas, bed covers,
quilts, sleeping bags and duvets/doonas must not be
machine dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured uffy items
such as towels as these can attract the uff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance has nished
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 in order to avoid the formation of harmful
vapours.
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.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the nal spin
• dryness level required (iron dry, store dry)
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in
the “Drying programs” chapter. The experience will help you
to dry your laundry in a more suitable way, according to the
different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time of the
already performed cycles.
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying program,
select a short drying cycle again.
caution
Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing
of fabrics or garment’s shrinking.

Care and cleaning
warning
You must disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply, before you can carry out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
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.
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 program.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder
with biological properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.
important
Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products
to clean the cabinet.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned
regularly. The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and
by pulling it out.
Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment
should be removed. Clean all parts with water.
Clean the chamber of dispenser drawer with a brush.

16 care and cleaning electrolux washer-dryer
Care and cleaning (cont.)
Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign
bodies in the washing or tap water containing iron.
important
Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents,
scouring agents containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning
agent for stainless steel.
2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off
any cleaning agent residues.
Program: Short Cotton Program at maximum
temperature and add approx. 1/4 measuring cup of
detergent.
Door seal
Check the door seal regularly to eliminate any objects that
may be trapped in the fold.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if:
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining
due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking
the pump.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
3. Open the pump door.
4. Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage.
5. Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the
container and remove its cap cover.
6. When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump
and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
spillage of water when removing the pump.
7. Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.
8. Refit the cap on the emergency emptying hose and
place the latter back in its seat.
9. Screw the pump fully in.
10. Close the pump door.
warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
program selected there can be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always
wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty.
When replacing the cover, ensure it is securely retightened
so as to stop leaks and prevent young children from being
able to remove it.
