• Unplug and close inlet hose tap after using ap-
pliance.
• Always disconnect the power supply from the
appliance before cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not machine wash clothes with ribbing, un-
finished or torn material.
Installation
• Unpack or ask for the appliance to be unpacked
immediately upon delivery. Check the outside of
the appliance is not damaged in any way. Report
all transit damage to your retailer.
• Remove all transit bolts and packaging before
installing the appliance.
• Connection to the water supply must be carried
out by a qualified plumber.
• If your domestic electrical circuit needs adapting
to allow the appliance to be plugged in, use a
qualified electrician.
• Ensure that, after installation, the power cable is
not trapped under the appliance.
• If the appliance is installed on carpeted floor,
ensure that the carpet does not obstruct any
ventilation ducts located at the base of the ap-
pliance.
• The appliance must be equipped with an earth-

• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for any damage resulting from incorrect installa-
tion.
Precautions to be taken against frost
If your appliance is exposed to temperatures below
0°C, the following precautions must be taken:
• Close the tap and disconnect the inlet hose.

of powder detergents. Liquid detergents must not
be used when a prewash or the reference pro-
gramme (see Programmes table) has been selec-
ted. For cycles without prewash, they must be
added via means of a dosing ball. Detergent tab-
lets or doses must be placed in the detergent
compartment of your appliance's dispenser box.

To install your washing machine at the same level
as surrounding furniture, proceed as shown on
picture 4.
Water supply
Install the supplied water inlet hoses at the rear of
your washing machine by making them pass in the
throat planned for that purpose. Do not reuse an
old hose.
Warning! The hot water hose is provided
with a red nut and must be linked to the tip
equipped with a red disk. Connect the hose for hot
water to the hot water tap. If there is no tap for hot
water, connect only the cold water hose.
The water inlet hoses can not be extended. If they
are too short, please contact the after-sales serv-
ice.

Open the water inlet taps. Check there are no
leaks.
Drainage
Fit the U-piece on the
drainage hose. Place
everything in a drainage
point (or in a sink) at a
height of between 70
and 100 cm. Ensure it is
positioned securely. Air
must be able to enter
the end of the hose, to
avoid any risk of siphon-
ing.
The drain hose must never be stretched. If it is too
short, contact an engineer.
Electrical connection
This washing machine must only be connected in
single-phased 230 V. Check the fuse size: 13 A for
230 V. The appliance must not be connected with
an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor. Ensure
that the plug is earthed and that it is in accordance
with current regulations.
Positioning
Position the appliance on a flat and hard surface in
a ventilated location. Ensure the appliance does
not come into contact with the wall or other furni-
ture.
To move your appliance, proceed as follows:
MINI 70 cm
MAXI 100 cm
10 electrolux

Place it on its rollers by
pulling the lever located
at the base of the appli-
ance hard from right to
left. Once the appliance
is in the desired posi-
tion, push the lever back
to its original position.
Accurate levelling
avoids vibrations, noise
and prevents the appli-
ance from moving when running.
Environment
Disposing of the appliance
All materials carrying the symbol are re-
cyclable. Dispose of them at a waste collec-
tion site (enquire at your local council) for collection
and recycling. When disposing of your appliance,
remove all parts which could be dangerous to oth-
ers: cut off the power supply cable at the base of
the appliance.
The symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product may not be treated as
household waste. Instead it should be taken to the
appropriate collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring
this product is disposed of correctly, you will help
prevent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could oth-
erwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling
of this product. For more detailed information
about recycling of this product, please contact
your local council, your household waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the
product.
Protecting the environment
To save water and energy and therefore help
protect the environment, we recommend the
following:
• Whenever possible, use the appliance at full ca-
pacity and avoid partial loads.
• Only use the prewash and soak programmes for
heavily soiled items.
• Use an appropriate amount of detergent for the
hardness of the water, the size of the load and
how soiled the washing is.
