WHAT TO DO IF… Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your local Service Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.
electrolux Problem Possible cause/Solution The machine does not empty and/or does not spin: The drain hose is squashed or kinked. • Check the drain hose connection. The drain filter is clogged. • Clean the drain filter. An option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub or 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.
electrolux 21 Problem Possible cause/Solution The machine makes an unusual noise: The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures 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.
electrolux 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. After removing all the packaging, carefully lay machine on it’s back to remove the polystyrene base from the bottom. 4. Slide out the relevant plastic spacers. 5.

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.
electrolux 25 This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers. ECOLOGICAL HINTS To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips: • Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). • The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
