care and cleaning electrolux 55 Cleaning the pump The pump should be inspected if • the machine does not empty and/or spin • the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump. Proceed as follows: • Disconnect the appliance. • If necessary wait until the water has cooled down. • Open the pump door. • Place a containfer close to the pump to collect any spillage. • Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap. • When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it. • Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat. • Screw the pump cover fully in. • 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. 35.293.040 - EWF 12070 W - SP.qxd 25/9/06 10:45 Página 55
56electroluxcare and cleaning Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it. Cleaning the water inlet filter If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose. The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. • Turn off the water tap. • Unscrew the inlet hose. • Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out. • Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again. • When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C. Important! Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying hose 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. Emergency emptying out If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine: • pull out the plug from the power socket; • close the water tap; • if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; • open the pump door; • place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out; • clean the pump if necessary as previously described; • replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it; • screw the pump cover again and close the door. 35.293.040 - EWF 12070 W - SP.qxd 25/9/06 10:45 Página 56

(Red Start/ Pause pilot light flashes) IThe drain pump is clogged. (Red Start/Pause pilot light flashes) IThe the option has been selected. IThe laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. Check the drain hose connection. Clean the drain pump. Not select the option. Redistribute the laundry. There is water on the floor:Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. 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. The drain hose is damaged. The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced after cleaning the pump. Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one. Check the water inlet hose connection. Change it with a new one. Put the cap back on the emergency emptying and place the latter back in its seat. Unsatisfactory washing results:Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. The correct temperature was not selected. Excessive laundry load. Increase the detergent quantity or use another one. Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains. Check if you have selected the correct temperature. Introduce into the drum less laundry. The door will not open:The programme is still running. The door lock has not been released. There is water in the drum. Wait the end of washing cycle. Wait about 2 minute.

something not workingelectrolux 59 MalfunctionPossible causeSolution The machine vibrates or is noisy:The transit bolts and packing have not been removed. The support feet have not been adjusted. The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum. Check the correct installation of the appliance. Check the correct levelling of the appliance. Redistribute the laundry. 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 redistributed 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 distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.Redistribute the laundry. The machine makes an unusual noiseThe 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 drumMachines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance. 35.293.040 - EWF 12070 W - SP.qxd 25/9/06 10:45 Página 59

64electroluxinstallation Hydraulic connection There should be a COLD WATER tap near the washing machine with a screwing on connection pipe of 3/4 gas for the water supply, a sink, a wash basin or a drainage system in the wall. Previously check if: - it is not a hot water tap. - the running water is clean. If not, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes. Have the permanent drainage system in the wall checked by a plumber. 1. Carefully screw the pipe to the tap taking care not to damage the screwdrive and fix the nut well on to the end in order to avoid leaking. 2. If necessary turn the hose adequately by unscrewing the nut at the rear of the appliance. Now tighten the nut anew to avoid leaks. (Open the tap and assure that it does not leak and close it again.) P0021 3. Place the discharging hose in a washbasin or sink with the aid of the bent piece delivered separately. The bent piece has to be entered into the tube’s mouth in order to assure the support. Aforesaid piece allows the hose to be fixed to the wall by means of an opening on the upper part and that way the hose does not move and its falling is avoided. 35.293.040 - EWF 12070 W - SP.qxd 25/9/06 10:45 Página 64
