Frequently Asked Questions - WASL3T201 AEG-ELECTROLUX

What to do if the machine does not fill with water?

Check that the water tap is open and the inlet hose is not kinked or blocked. Clean the filters in the inlet hose and at the tap. If the problem persists, error code E10 will appear.

How to clean the drain filter?

Unplug the appliance and wait for the water to cool. Open the filter flap, place a container underneath, turn the filter to drain, then unscrew it completely to remove fluff. Clean it with clean water before putting it back.

Why doesn't the door open at the end of the cycle?

The door remains locked as long as the lock symbol is displayed. If the program is finished but the symbol remains lit, it may be due to the Rinse Hold option. Run a drain or spin program to drain the water.

What do error codes E20 or E40 mean?

E20 indicates a drainage problem (blocked filter, kinked hose). E40 means the door is not properly closed. Check the door and make sure it is fully engaged.

How to use the steam function?

The steam programs (Steam Refresh and Steam De-wrinkle) are intended for dry or once-worn garments. Do not use detergent. For the refresh program, max load 1 kg. At the end of the cycle, garments may be damp; let them air for 10 minutes.

Can liquid detergent be used with all programs?

Yes, but for programs with Prewash, it is not recommended to use liquid detergent. Place the dispenser flap in position B for liquid detergent. Do not exceed the MAX level.

How to activate child safety?

Press the Stains/Prewash (9) and Spin (10) buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds until the lock symbol appears. To deactivate, repeat the operation.

What is the maximum capacity for the cotton program?

The maximum capacity for the cotton program is 6 kg. For synthetics, 3 kg; for wool, 1 kg. Respect these limits for optimal washing.

How to perform a maintenance wash?

Run an empty wash with a cotton program at the highest temperature (95°C) and biological powder detergent. This cleans the drum and removes residues. Do this regularly, especially after low-temperature washes.

What to do in case of frost?

If the appliance is installed in an unheated room, drain the residual water: close the tap, disconnect the inlet hose and let the water drain into a container. Run a drain program, then unplug the appliance. Before reusing, make sure the temperature exceeds 0°C.

• Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :

• Laundry without hems or with cuts

• Underwired bras.

• Use a washing bag to wash small items.

• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again.

STUBBORN STAINS

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.

We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the appliance.

• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.

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.

To know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.

Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products.

Equivalent scales measure the water hardness:

German degrees (^)
- French degrees (°TH).
- mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
- Clarke degrees.

Warning!

Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before you clean it.

DESCALING

The water we use contains limescale. If it becomes necessary, use a water softener to remove limescales.

Use a special product made for washing machines. Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the manufacturer. Do this separately from the laundry wash.
