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.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly
and particularly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or
spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise
during draining due to objects such as
safety pins, coins etc. blocking the
pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter “What to do if...” for more
details).
Warning! Before opening the pump
door, switch the appliance off and
remove the mains plug from the
socket.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unplug the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has
cooled down.

							3. Open the pump door levering on the
groove with a coin (or with the suitable
tool, that you can find in the bag con-
taining the instruction booklet, depend-
ing on the model).

4. Place a bowl with a small edge close to
the pump to collect any spillage.
5. Pull out the emergency emptying cap
from the filter cover, using pliers.
6. When no more water comes out, un-
screw the pump cover by turning it an-
ti-clockwise, using pliers, and remove
the filter. Always keep a rag nearby to
dry up any water spillages when re-
moving the cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove
any traces of fluff.
12
7. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from
the pump seat and from the pump im-
peller.
8. Check carefully whether the pump im-
peller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it
doesn’t rotate, please contact your
Service Centre.

							9. Replace the filter into the pump by in-
serting it correctly into the special
guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by
turning it clockwise.
10. Replace the emergency emptying cap
into the filter cover and fix it firmly.
11. Close the pump door.
Warning! When the appliance is in use
and depending on the programme
selected there can be hot water in the
pump. Never remove the pump cover
during a wash cycle, always wait until
the appliance has finished the cycle,
and is empty. When refitting the pump
cover , ensure it is securely re-
tightened so as to stop leaks and
young children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
If you notice that the machine is taking lon-
ger to fill, check that the filter in the water
inlet hose is not blocked.
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
3. Clean the filter in the hose using a hard
bristle brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.
16 electrolux
 
						

							5. Unscrew the hose from the machine.
Keep a rug nearby because some water
may flow.
6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff
brush or with the piece of cloth.
7. Screw the hose back to the machine
and make sure the connection is tight.
8. Turn on the water tap.
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as
follows to empty out the machine:
1. pull out the plug from the power socket;
2. close the water tap;
3. if necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down;
4. open the pump door;
5. place a bowl on the floor. Remove the
emergency emptying cap from the filter.
The water should drain by gravity into
the bowl. When the bowl is full, refit the
cap into the filter. Empty the bowl. Re-
peat the procedure until water stops
flowing out;6. clean the pump if necessary as previ-
ously described;
7. screw the pump again and close the
door.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where
the temperature could drop below 0°C,
proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the plug from the power socket.
2. Turn off the water tap.
3. Unscrew the inlet hose.
4. Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor, open the emergen-
cy emptying cup of the filter and let wa-
ter drain out.
5. Refit the emergency emptying cap into
the filter and screw the water inlet hose
back.
6. When you intend to start the machine
up again, make sure that the room tem-
perature is above 0°C.
Important! Every time you drain the water
for emergency you must pour 2 litres of
water into the main wash compartment of
the detergent drawer and then run the drain
programme. This will activate the ECO
Valve device avoiding that part of the
detergent remains unused at next washing.
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 theones 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.
electrolux 17
 
						

							•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.

18 electrolux
 
						

							ProblemPossible cause/Solution
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 cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced
or the filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.
• Refit the cap on the emergency emptying hose or screw the fil-
ter fully in.
Unsatisfactory washing re-
sults:
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.
The correct temperature was not selected.
• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait a few minutes 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.
