Frequently Asked Questions - EWF 1280 IDA+++ ECG

How do I remove the transport locking screws before first use?

Use the provided spanner to loosen the screws at the rear by turning them counterclockwise. Remove them and insert the supplied plastic plugs. Do not operate the washing machine with the locking screws still installed, as this is not covered by warranty.

What should I do if the washing machine does not start?

Check that the machine is plugged in, the fuse is intact, the door is properly closed, and the program selector is not set to OFF. Ensure you have pressed the Start/Pause button. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

How can I clean the pump filter?

Use a coin to open the pump cover by inserting it into the groove. Place a container in front to catch any water. Unscrew the filter counterclockwise, remove foreign objects with a brush, wash it, and screw back clockwise. Tighten sufficiently to prevent leaks. Clean monthly.

Why is there excessive foam in the detergent drawer?

This is usually due to using too much detergent or an unsuitable type. Pause the machine by pressing Start/Pause, mix one teaspoon of fabric softener in half a liter of water, pour into the detergent drawer, and resume. Use the correct amount of detergent in future washes.

How do I activate the child lock?

While the washing machine is switched on, long press the temperature setting button for at least 3 seconds. The child lock symbol will appear on the display. Repeat the same steps to deactivate.

Can I open the door during a cycle?

Yes, if you press and hold Start/Pause to pause the machine. The lock icon on the display will go out, and you can open the door. However, if there is too much water or foam, water may leak out. Do not force the door.

What do error codes like [7AAS] or [XSDT] mean?

[7AAS] indicates the door cannot be opened because the water temperature is too high; wait for it to cool down. [XSDT] means spinning does not start; check if the machine is stable, not overloaded, and the laundry is evenly distributed. Press Start/Pause after resolving.

How do I add laundry after the program has started?

Press and hold Start/Pause to stop the machine. When the door lock indicator turns off, open the door, add laundry, close the door firmly, and press Start/Pause again to resume.

What is the recommended cleaning schedule?

Clean the pump filter monthly, the detergent drawer every two months, and run the Drum Cleaning program once a month to prevent dirt buildup. Wipe the exterior with a mild detergent.

How to set a delayed end?

Press the Delayed End button repeatedly to set the desired completion time (must be longer than the program duration). Then press Start/Pause to start the countdown. The display will show the remaining time until program ends.

Connecting electricity

• This appliance is designed for 220 \~ 240 V / 50 Hz power supply.
• The power cable of your washing machine is equipped with special plug with grounding pin. This plug should only be connected to a grounded outlet in an outlet circuit with a 10 A fuse. If you do not have such an outlet with 10 A fuse, ask a qualified electrician for the installation.
  • We are not liable for damages caused by use without proper grounding.

Note: Use of the appliance at low voltage will result in shortening the service life and lower efficiency.

GB

Connecting the water supply

• Depending on the particular specifications of your machine it has either a single water inlet (cold) or double water inlet (cold / hot). Hose with white cap is connected to the cold water inlet, hose with a red cap is connected to the hot water inlet (valid for appliances with two water inlets).
• To prevent water leakage at the connection points, we supply along with packaging one or two nuts (for washing machines with two inlets). Attach the nuts on the supply hoses on the side of the water tap.
• Screw on the new water inlet hose onto the tap with thread 34 inches.
• Connect the white end of the supply hose, equipped with an elbow, to the white inlet with filter on the back of the machine. Do the same with the hose equipped with red end (for washing machines with two inlets). Tighten the plastic connecting nuts manually. If you are unsure about the connection, entrust it to a qualified installer.
• The water flow pressure of 0.03 \~ 1 MPa allows your machine to work more efficiently. (0,1 MPa pressure means that through a fully open tap flows more than 8 litres of water per minute.)
  • After connecting, open the tap fully and check that there are no leaks at joints.
• Make sure that the new supply hoses are not bent, broken or pinched and that they have the original length.
• If your machine is equipped with a second inlet for hot water, the hot water temperature should not exceed 50^ .

Note: When connecting the washing machine, use only the new inlet hoses supplied with the washing machine. Never use old, used or damaged water hoses.

Connecting the drain hose

• End of the drain hose can be attached to a special facility for sewage drain or a special outlet on the sink siphon.
• Never try to extend the length of the drain hose using clamps.
• Make sure that the drain hose is not folded, twisted, pinched and that it has the original length.
• Fix the drain hose to a height of 60 \~ 120 cm above the floor.

• Do not put the drain hose into the sink, bucket or basin with no outlet.

• If you do not attach the drain hose permanently to a drain outlet, keep the drain hose in the time of inactivity of the washing machine at the rear according to fig. ① below.

• When washing put the end of the hose in the sink (see fig. ② below). You can also put the hose directly into the drains, but leave room for easy drainage of water between the end of the hose and the drains.

• Clean the filter regularly to ensure optimum operation of the washing machine.

Note: Do not remove the hose fastening clamp (fig. 1), as this could lead to problems with draining water.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Detergent drawer

Detergent compartment

- When you use washing powder or ground soap, dissolve the detergent first and then pour the solution into the compartment.

Washing gel

- Use only low foam detergents. - When using concentrated detergents, dilute the detergent with water in a 1:1 ratio, then pour the solution into the compartment.

GB

Fabric softener compartment.

• Pour fabric softener into the softener compartment before washing. The fabric softener will be automatically used with the last rinse.

• In the case of concentrated products, dilute the fabric softener before dispensing to ensure that the compartment is adequately filled.

- Never fill the fabric softener above the maximum mark.

Pre-wash compartment

• Used to dispense the detergent for pre-washing heavily soiled laundry (use the appropriate program for pre-washing).

Notes

• It is prohibited to use highly foaming detergents.
• Dispense the detergents according to the instructions given on the detergent package.
• Excessive amount of the detergent causes excessive foaming and can cause insufficient rinsing of the laundry or damage the washing machine.
• When washing use a suitable detergent depending on the laundry type, the selected temperature and the degree of soiling.

CONTROL

Preparation before washing

Sorting laundry

• Garments are labelled, with the indication of the recommended maintenance procedures (see "Useful information"). Follow these recommendations when washing and drying the laundry.
• Divide the clothing by type (cotton, synthetic, fi ne linen, wool, etc.), washing temperatures and soiling (slightly dirty, dirty, heavily soiled).
• Do not wash the white and the coloured laundry together.

ECG

79

• Wash coloured laundry separately at first wash, it could bleed colour.
• Make sure there are no metal objects in the pockets.

Warning: Malfunctions caused by foreign objects in the washing machine are not covered by warranty.

• Close all the zippers and button up all the buttons of the clothing.
• Remove the plastic or metal hooks of the curtains and drapes, or place them in a washing net or bag and lace up.
• Turn the garments like pants, knitwear, T-shirts and tracksuits inside out.
• Wash socks, handkerchiefs and similar small pieces in the washing net.

GB

Putting the laundry in the washing machine

1. Open the washing machine door.
2. Arrange the laundry in the drum.

Note: The maximum capacity may vary depending on the laundry type, the degree of soiling and the selected program. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of dry clothes for the program, see the table of programs.

The following approximate table may serve as an example:

Type of laundry Weight (g)
Towel 200
Bedding 500
Bathrobe 1200
Blanket 700
Pillow case 200
Underwear 100
Tablecloth	250

• Place the laundry in individually.
• When closing the appliance door, make sure that the laundry does not get caught between the door and sealing.
• Push to close the door so that it clicks into place.
• Close the door properly. If the door is not properly closed, the washing machine will not start.

Adding detergent

The amount of detergent will depend on the following factors:

• Use of detergent is determined by the degree of soiling.
• Use detergents intended for automatic washing machines. A suitable amount of detergent is indicated on the detergent packaging.
• Heavier soiled laundry and harder water require larger amounts of detergent.
• The necessary amount of detergent increases with the amount of laundry to be washed.
• Add softener to the softener compartment. Do not exceed the MAX mark so that the softener would not overflow in the wash when the machine uses washing detergent.
• It is necessary to dilute very thick softeners before adding them in the compartment. Too thick fabric softener could clogg the opening and could prevent softener from flowing from the compartment.
