Electrolux Ewx 12550 W User Manual

							If you intend to drain the hose from the
machine into a sink, make sure that the
sink is empty and the plug hole is not
blocked. Use the plastic “U -Piece”
supplied.
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.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted or covered with
crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid
support base under the feet to prevent
noise, vibration or displacement. The
base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the
machine.
Warning !
The machine should NOT be placed on
deep pile carpeting.


Note
Please ensure that when the appliance
is installed it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
In the interest of the environment
washer-dryers should be connected to
the FOUL drainage system, the water
will then be taken to a sewage works
for treatment before being discharged
safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are
not connected to the surface water
drainage system as this water is dis-
charged directly into a river or stream
and may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please
contact your local water authority.

Electrical connection
Any electrical work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by
a qualified electrician or competent
person.
Warning!
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any lia-
bility should this safety measure
not be observed.
Before switching on, make sure the
electricity supply voltage is the same
as that indicated on the appliance’s
rating plate. 
Important!
Information on the electrical
connection is given on the rating
plate on the inner edge of the
appliance door.
The appliance is supplied with a
13amp plug fitted.
In the event of having to change the
fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp
ASTA approved (BS1363/A) fuse must
be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced
for any reason, proceed as described
below.
The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the follow-
ing code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - LiveThe wire coloured green and yellow
must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter «E» or by the
earth symbol  or coloured green
and yellow.
The wire coloured blue must be con-
nected to the terminal «N» or coloured
black.
The wire coloured brown must be con-
nected to the terminal marked «L» or
coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut,
or stray strands of wire present and the
cord clamp must be secure over the
outer sheath.
Warning!
A cut off plug inserted into a 13
amp socket is a serious safety
(shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is dis-
posed of safely. Should the appli-
ance power supply cable neeed to
be replaced, this must be carried
out by our Service Force Centre.
Note
When the appliance is installed the
power supply cable must be accessi-
ble.

							Permanent connection
In the case of permanent connection it
is necessary that you install a double
pole switch between the appliance and
the electricity supply (mains), with a
minimum gap of 3mm between the
switch contacts and of a type suitable
for the required load in compliance with
the current electrical regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow
and green earth cable at any point.
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.
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.
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 counter-mag-
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.
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).
With the appliance installed adjust all
four feet ensuring the machine is sta-
ble, 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 avail-
able from spare parts.
