4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
4.1 Special features
Your new washing machine meets all
modern requirements for an effective
treatment of laundry with low water,
energy and detergent consumption and
proper care of fabric.
• The AutoDose technology
automatically dispenses the right
amount of detergent according to the
load; the drawer has two integrated
tanks (detergent + softener) and two
additional compartments for detergent
and additives manual load. It gives
the highest use flexibility.
• The Wi-Fi connection and Remote
Start enable you to start a cycle, to
interact with your washing machine
and to check the washing cycle status
in remote control.
• The FreshScent System, thanks to
new Cashmere and Freshscent
steam programmes offers the perfect
solution for refreshing even the most
delicate garments without washing.
Use the delicate fragrance exclusively
developed by ELECTROLUX to add a
pleasant feeling of "just-washed"
garment to the removing odours and
wrinkles action.
• The UltraCare technology has been
designed to protect the fabric fibres
thanks to different pre-mixing phases
that dissolves first the detergent and
then fabric softener in the water
before they are distributed in the
laundry. So every fibre is reached and
cared for.
• The steam has a quick and easy way
to refresh the clothes. The gentle
steam programmes remove odours
and reduce creases in dry fabrics so
they need little ironing.
The Plus Steam option, finishes
every cycle with gentle steam that
relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric
creasing. Ironing will be easier!
• The Intensive option pre-treats
stubborn stains optimizing the
effectiveness of washing
performance.
• Thanks to the Soft Plus option, the
fabric softener is uniformly spread out
in the laundry and deeply penetrates
the fabric fibres favouring a perfect
softness.
• The SensiCare System detects the
laundry load size defining the
programme duration in 30 seconds.
The washing programme is tailored to
the laundry load and the type of fabric
without consuming more time, energy
and water than necessary.

6. BEFORE FIRST USE
During installation or before
first use you may observe
some water in the appliance.
This is a residual water left
in the appliance after a full
functional test in the factory
to ensure the appliance is
delivered to customers in
perfect working order and is
no cause for concern.
1. Make sure that all transit bolts have
been removed from the appliance.
2. Make sure that the electrical power is
available and the water tap is open.
3. Make sure to fill the AutoDose tanks
with liquid detergent and fabric
softener . Refer to "AutoDose
basic setting " paragraph in "The
AutoDose technology" chapter.
4. Pour 2 litres of water inside the drum.
This action activates the drain system.
5. Set and start a programme for cotton
at the highest temperature without
any laundry in the drum.
This removes all possible dirt from the
drum and the tub.
7. THE AUTODOSE TECHNOLOGY (AUTODOSING)
Read this chapter carefully.
7.1 Introduction
Right detergent and fabric softener
dosage takes better care of the laundry
and ensuring good wash performances.
Too much detergent damages your
clothes and too little doesn’t ensure good
wash performances.
This appliance is equipped with an auto
dosing system able to automatically
provide the right detergent and fabric
softener dosage to preserve the fabric
integrity and colour brightness.
AutoDose detergent tank.
AutoDose fabric softener tank.
The appliance is pre-set by the factory
to suit most users habits.
Once started the programme, the
appliance will automatically release the
right amount of detergent and softener
according to the real fabric load, if the
indicators and/or are on in the
display.
In some programmes,
AutoDose is OFF (OFF is on
and the indicators and/or
are off in the display)
because there are garments
requiring special detergents
or treatments. When OFF is
on, pour the detergent and
other treatments in the
proper manual filling
compartment.
Please refer to "AutoDose
and options compatibility
with programmes" in
"Programmes" chapter.
Further explanations on
AutoDose and activation of
advanced settings are
available downloading the
APP.
ENGLISH 19

7.2 Detergent dispenser with
AutoDose tanks and manual
compartments
When using detergent and
any other treatments, always
follow the instructions that
you find on the packaging of
the detergent products.
Anyway, we recommend not
to exceed the maximum
indicated level in each
compartment ( ).
If both AutoDose tanks are enabled in
the set programme, liquid detergent and
fabric softener are automatically loaded.
If one of the AutoDose tank or both
are disabled (OFF ) in the set
programme, proceed by manually filling
the product in the proper compartment.

7.3 AutoDose basic setting
The factory pre-set doses for a large
load are 90 ml for detergent tank and
25 ml for fabric softener tank: the
optimal configuration to meet majority
of use condition. Based on this
setting, the appliance will calculate
the precise dosage for each wash.
However, under extreme conditions (very
