Frequently Asked Questions - EW7W4862HB ELECTROLUX

How do I install the washing machine?

Remove all transport bolts and packaging. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4 inch thread. Place the drain hose into a standpipe or sink. Level the machine by adjusting the feet. Plug into a grounded outlet.

What should I do for the first wash?

Run a Drum Clean cycle without laundry to remove any residues. Use a small amount of detergent. Then you can wash normally.

How to clean the detergent drawer?

Press the release catch and remove the drawer. Wash under warm water to remove detergent residues. Clean the compartment recess with a brush. Reinsert the drawer.

What does error code 'E10' mean?

E10 indicates a water supply problem. Check that the water tap is fully open, the inlet hose is not kinked, and the filter in the inlet valve is clean.

How to use the steam function?

Select a steam-compatible program like Steam Care or add the Steam option to a cycle. Steam helps reduce wrinkles and allergens. Do not use liquid detergent when steaming.

Why is the machine not draining?

Check that the drain hose is not blocked or kinked. Clean the filter at the bottom of the machine. Ensure the standpipe is not clogged. If the problem persists, contact service.

Can I use liquid detergent with the delay start?

Yes, but use the detergent dispenser appropriately. For long delay starts, it's better to use powder detergent to avoid liquid drying up. Always follow the detergent instructions.

How to reset the child lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock button for 3 seconds until the symbol turns off. If your model has a combination, refer to the manual for the specific key press.

What is the maximum load for different programs?

Cotton: 7 kg, Synthetics: 3 kg, Delicates: 2 kg, Quick 14 min: 1 kg. Overloading may cause poor washing results and increased vibration.

How to maintain the machine to avoid odors?

Run a Drum Clean cycle monthly. Leave the door and drawer open after each wash to dry. Clean the door seal regularly. Use proper detergent amounts.

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.

We recommend that you pre-treat these stains before you put the items in the appliance.

Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

14.3 Detergents and other treatments

• Only use detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization
  – liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.

• Do not mix different types of detergents.
  • To help the environment, do not use more than the recommended quantity of detergent.

• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level (MAX)

• Use the recommended detergents for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.

14.4 Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash phase to wash laundry with normal soil.
  • Always start a washing programme with the maximum load of laundry allowed.
• If you pre-treat the stains or use a stain remover, set a programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, check the water hardness of your domestic system. Refer to "Water hardness".

14.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.
