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 manu-
facturers instructions. This will help to pre-
vent the formation of lime deposits.
AFTER EACH WASH
Leave the door open for a while. This helps
to prevent mould and stagnant smells form-
ing 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 in-
side 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 pro-
gramme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent,
must be a powder with biological proper-
ties.
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 dispens-
er 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.

							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 wash-
ing to clean off any cleaning agent resi-
dues.
Programme: Short Cotton Programme
at maximum temperature and add ap-
prox. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.
DOOR SEAL
Check from time to time the door seal and
eliminate eventual possible objects that
could be trapped in the fold.

make sure that it is clean.
Clean the pump regularly and/or if:
• The appliance does not drain the water.
• The drum cannot turn.
• The appliance makes an unusual noise
because of the blockage of the drain
pump.

WHAT TO DO IF…
Certain problems are due to lack of simple
maintenance or oversights, which can be
solved easily without calling out an engi-
neer. Before contacting your local Service
Centre, please carry out the checks listed
below.
During machine operation it is possible that
the red pilot light of button 5 blinks to indi-
cate that the machine is not working.
It is possible to recognize the machine fault
by the number of button 5 light flashes. If
the number of flashes is different from the
ones indicated below, this is related to a
fault that you cannot solve. In this case,
contact your local Service Centre.
Press simultaneously the buttons 4 and 5
for a few seconds. The red button 5 light
will flash for a short time as described (the
green flash is not to be considered) :•4 flashes = «The washing machine
does not start», follow the correspond-
ing suggestions in «Possible cause/Solu-
tions» box and restart the programme.
•1 flash = «The machine does not fill»,
follow the corresponding suggestions in
«Possible cause/Solutions» box and re-
start the programme.
•2 flashes = «The machine does not
empty and/or does not spin», follow
the corresponding suggestions in «Possi-
ble cause/Solutions» box and restart the
programme.
Once the problem has been eliminated,
press the button 5 to restart the pro-
gramme. If after all checks, the problem
persists, contact your local Service Centre.

An option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub
or a that eliminates all the spinning phases has been selected.
• Select the draining or spinning programme.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
There is water on the floor:
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much
foam) has been used.
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fit-
tings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the
hose; check to see if it is damp.
• Check the water inlet hose connection.
The drain or inlet hose is damaged.
• Replace it with a new one.
The filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.
• Screw the filter fully in.

electrolux 17
 
						

							ProblemPossible cause/Solution
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait until the door is released before opening the door.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The machine vibrates is
noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.
• Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
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 redis-
tributed 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 distrib-
uted in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistrib-
ute the load manually and select the spin programme.
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select
the spinning programme.
The machine makes an un-
usual noise:The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor en-
sures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.
No water is visible in the
drum:Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.
If you are unable to identify or solve the
problem, contact our service centre. Before
telephoning, make a note of the model, se-
rial number and purchase date of your ma-
chine: the Service Centre will require this
information.
