Automatic washing and drying 
(NON-STOP programme)
Warning!For NON-STOP programmes, it is also essential not to exceed the
maximum load sizes of 2.5 kg for cotton and 1.5 kg for easy-cares.
Load the laundry.
Add detergent and additive.
Do not use a liquid detergent in a dosing device/ball, because the plastic
material of the device will not withstand the high temperature during dry-
ing. Pour the liquid detergent directly into the main wash compartment.
Switch the machine on by depressing the ON/OFF button.
Select the wash programme.
Select the required options by means of the relevant buttons. If possible, do
not select a spin speed lower than that proposed by the appliance to avoid a
too long drying time so saving energy.
When automatically washing and drying it is not possible to select a spi\
n
speed lower than 900 r.p.m. for cottons and 700 r.p.m. for synthetics.
Select the drying time.
Start the programme by depressing the START/PAUSE button.
At the end of the programme, turn the selector dial to RESET and press the

Cleaning and maintenance
After each wash
At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a little to
let it dry.
Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.
If the machine is not used for a prolonged period: Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.
Periodical cleaning
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 programme.
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder (such as Ariel Futur).
Exterior
Clean the outside of the cabinet with soap and water only. Rinse with clean
water and dry.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to
clean the cabinet.
Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer,
from time to time,
by rinsing it under
a running tap. 

132984531.qxd  28/11/2005  16.32  Pagina  35
 
						

							
To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-
hand corner. 
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be
removed.
Detergent can also accumulate inside the draw-
er recess: clean it with an old toothbrush.
Refit the drawer after cleaning.
Door seal
Regularly check to see, if there are deposits or
foreign objects in the rubber seal behind the
door and remove them.
Drain filter
The drain filter collects threads and small
objects inadver-
tently left in the
laundry. Check
regularly that the
filter is clean.
Place a container
under the filter and
unscrew it; some
water will come
out of the filter.
Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit
it, screwing it fully in.

Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the \
filter
in the water inlet hose is not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap. To do this, depress the small yellow button
on the hose.
Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are
clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine:
 pull out the plug from the power socket; 
 close the water tap; 
 if necessary, wait until the water has cooled;
 place a bowl on the floor;
 put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for exam-
ple the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain fil-
ter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below
0°C, proceed as follows:
 Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.
 Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed on thefloor.
 Select the “DRAIN” programme and run it until the machine stops.
 Turn the programme selector dial to RESET.
 Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. 
 Remove the plug from the power socket. 
 Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the
formation of ice and, consequently, damage to the appliance.
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature
is above 0°C.

Something not working?
If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual
whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional
washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor.
If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the
modern technology of new washing machines that
use less water than traditional machines. 
Troubleshooting
If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself
following the instructions below.
If you call out an engineer when one of the following problems arises, or
to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the call-out will be charged even
if requested within the guarantee period.
During machine operation the following alarm codes may be displayed:
-E10: problem with the water supply
- E20: problem with water draining
- E40: door open
At the same time the light END flashes.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to
restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your
local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.
