Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin:●The electronic unbalance
detection device has cut in
because the laundry is not
evenly distributed  in the
drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse
rotation of the drum. This
may happen several times
before the unbalance
disappears and normal
spinning can resume. If,
after 10 minutes, the
laundry is still not evenly
distributed in the drum, the
machine will not spin. In this
case, redistribute the load
manually and select the
spin programme.●Redistribute the laundry.

Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be
removed before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit
devices so that they can be refitted if the
machine ever has to be transported
again.
1. Using a spanner unscrew and
remove the rear right bolt. Lay the
machine gently on its back, making
sure that the hoses are not
squashed.
2. Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom panel by
unscrewing the central screw..
3. Carefully slide out the right polythene bag.

	\f

 \f\f

4. Repeat the operation for the left and
central polythene bags.
5. Re-fit the bottom panel using the 4 screws supplied with the door
hinges (in the plastic bag) and the
previously removed screw.
6. Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining bolts from the
back.

7. Plug the open holes with the plugs
supplied with the instruction booklet.
Positioning
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 other kitchen units. Level the
washing machine by raising or lowering
the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust
as they incorporate a self locking nut,
but the machine MUST be level and
stable.

 \f



 \b	

Any necessary adjustment can be made
with a spanner. Accurate levelling
prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during
operation. Never place cardboard, wood
or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Water inlet
Do not use the hose from your
previous machine to connect to the
water supply !
1. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
2. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet
hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut
again to prevent leaks.
Always use the hose supplied with the
appliance. 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 .
Note !
Installation should comply with
local water authority and building
regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be connected
to a cold water supply. 
A minimum water pressure of 0.05
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe
operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water
connection direct from the rising mains,
you may be able to operate the
appliance from your cold water storage
system.
There should be a minimum distance
of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the
water storage tank.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be
positioned in three ways:
Hooked over the edge of a sink
using the plastic hose guide
supplied with the machine. In this
case, make sure the end cannot come
unhooked when the machine is
emptying. This could be done by tying it
to the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This
branch must be above the trap so that
the bend is at least 60 cm above the
ground. 
Directly into a drain pipe at a
height of not less than 60 cm and not
more than 90 cm. The end of the drain
hose must always be  ventilated, i.e.
the inside diameter of the drain pipe
must be larger than the outside diameter
of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked.
The drain hose may be extended to a
maximum of 4 metres. An additional
drain hose and joining piece is available
from your local Service Centre.

Electrical connection
This machine is designed to operate on
a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz
supply.
Check that your domestic electrical
installation can take the maximum load
required (2.2 kW), also taking into
account any other appliances in use.
Connect the machine to an earthed
socket. 
The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the above
safety precaution. Should the appliance
power supply cable need to be
replaced, this should be carried out by
our Service Centre.
Please ensure that when the appliance is
installed the power supply cable is easily
accessible.

Building-in
This appliance has been designed to
be built into the kitchen furniture.
The recess should have the dimensions
shown in picture A.
When installing the appliance into the
kitchen furniture ensure, if possible, the
hoses are placed in either of the two
recesses on the back of the appliance.
This will help to prevent the hoses from
becoming kinked or trapped. Picture
AB.

Preparation and assembly of
the door 
The machine is originally pre-arranged
for the assembly of a door opening
from right to left.
In this case it is sufficient to screw in
the hinges (1) and the counter-magnet
(6) provided with the appliance, at the
right level (Fig. B).
a) Door
The dimensions of the door should be:
- width 595-598 mm
- thickness  16-22 mm
The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the
height of the adjacent furnitures base.

installationelectrolux  39
b) Hinges
To mount the hinges it is necessary to
drill two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth
12.5-14 mm depending on the depth
of door furniture) on the inner side of
the door. The distance between the
holes hobs fixing centres must be 416
mm.
The distance (B) from upper edge of
the door to the centre of the hole
depends on the adjacent furnitures
dimensions.
The required dimensions are given in
the picture C.
The hinges will be fixed to the door by
means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B)
supplied with the appliance.
c) Mounting the door
Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by
means of the M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B).
The hinges can be adjusted to com-
pensate for possible uneven thickness
of the door.
To align the door perfectly it is neces-
sary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B),
adjust the door and tighten the screw
again.
d) Counter-magnet (6)
The appliance is pre-arranged for a
magnetic closure of the door. To
enable a correct operation of this
device, it is necessary to screw the
counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber
ring) into the inner side of the door.
Its position must correspond to the
magnet (4) on the appliance (see pic-
ture D).
If the door has to be opened from left
to right, invert the position of the plates
(7), the magnet (4) and the plate (5)
(Fig. B and E). Mount the countermag-
net (6) and the hinges (1) as previously
described.
Recommendations regarding the
construction and fitting of a base
when the installation requires an
integrated appliance to be raised.
Where the appliance has been raised
by mounting onto a wooden base pro-
vided by the installer. The material
used to construct the base should
have a non slip surface, be water
repellent and if possible be one solid
piece.

With the appliance installed adjust all
four feet ensuring the machine is stable,
and a clearance of approximately 5 mm
is left between the top of the machine
and the underside of the worktop.
A final check for stability should be car-
ried out with the machine on spin with a
load, this will identify the need for any
further fine adjustment to the feet.
A strip of beading approximately 605
mm W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be
screwed down into the base directly in
front of the machine’s feet, this will pro-
vide additional security.
If required an additional door magnet,
part number 1242394-00/3 and disc,
part number 1242393-00/5 are available
from spare parts.

If it is not possible to use one solid
piece, due to the additional height
required, ensure that any additional
strips of timber are glued and screwed
to the underside of the base 
(see Fig.F).
Drill four fixing holes see Fig. G  
Position the base into the recess with
its front edge as far forward as the
adjoining plinth line will allow. 
The reason for placing the base in
this position is to allow a small
strip of beading to be fitted in front
of the appliance feet.
Fix the base firmly to the floor using
four appropriate countersunk screws
(see Fig. H).
