electrolux 23
 
						

							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 filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.
• Screw the filter 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.

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.

large ones with the corresponding plas-
tic plug caps supplied in the bag con-
taining 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. If nec-
essary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made
with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents
vibration, noise and displacement of the
machine during operation.
Caution! Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the
machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.
RUBBER FEET KIT (4055126249)
Available from your authorized dealer.
The rubber feet are particularly recommen-
ded on floating, slippery and wooden floors.
Mount the rubber feet to prevent vibration,
noises and displacement of the appliance
during operation.

3. 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.
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.
Important! Before connecting up the
machine to new pipework or to pipework
that has not been used for some time, run
off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected in
the pipes.
WATER DRAINAGE
The end of the drain hose can be posi-
tioned 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 ma-
chine 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 diam-
eter 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.
