Before using your Electrolux washing machine or washer dryer for the first time

Resolution

Before using your Electrolux washing machine or washer dryer for the first time, follow a few initial steps to ensure proper usage.

Remove transit bolts

Ensure that the three transit bolts that hold the drum in place during transportation have been removed. Otherwise, they can cause damage to the drum and affect your appliance’s warranty.

1. Unscrew the bolts on the back of the appliance using a spanner or a socket wrench

2. Slide out the plastic spacers and fill the holes with the supplied plastic plug caps

Note: We recommend that you keep the transit bolts for any future movement of the appliance. The transit bolts must be reattached to lock the drum to prevent internal damage.

Run high temperature programme

1. Make sure the drum is empty.

2. Pour 2 litres of water into the main wash detergent compartment .

3. Add a small quantity of detergent in the same compartment.

4. Run a cotton programme at the highest temperature. Or, if your appliance as the Machine Clean programme, run this one instead.

Tips and tricks

• Child lock: Turn on child lock to prevent children from playing with the control panel. Check the user manual to see how this is done for your model.
• Sounds: Turn on/off the sound beeping at the end of a cycle. Check the user manual to see how this is done for your model.
• Stacking Kit: The stacking kit allows you to install your tumble dryer above the washing machine, creating more room as they are stored vertically. The Stacking Kit is suitable for Electrolux front-loading washers and dryers with a 52 cm to 67 cm depth.
