electrolux 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 25 Problem Possible 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 fittings. 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.
electrolux Problem Possible cause/Solution The machine does not dry or does not dry properly: The drying time or the dryness degree has not been selected. • Select the drying time or the dryness degree. The water tap is not turned on. • Open the water tap. The drain filter is clogged. • Clean the drain filter. The machine is overloaded. • Reduce the laundry load in the drum. The selected drying programme, time or dryness degree was not suitable for the laundry.
electrolux 27 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.

electrolux 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. 2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap.
electrolux 29 A WATER DRAINAGE The end of the drain hose can be positioned 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 machine 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.
electrolux 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. • With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
