Frequently Asked Questions - EWT904 ELECTROLUX

What should I do if the washing machine displays error code E11?

Error E11 indicates no water supply. Check that the water taps are fully open and the inlet hose filters are not blocked. If the problem persists, turn off the machine and contact service.

How can I reduce excessive vibration during the spin cycle?

Ensure the machine is level by adjusting the feet. Also, redistribute the laundry evenly around the agitator to avoid out-of-balance conditions.

Can I use fabric softener with Eco or Fast rinse?

No. For fabric softener, always select the Deep rinse option to ensure proper dispensing and removal of softener from clothes.

How do I clean the lint filter?

Remove the filter column from the center of the agitator, unclip the filter bag, turn it inside out, remove lint, wash in hot water with a brush, and reassemble.

What is the maximum load capacity for this washing machine?

The maximum load is 9.0 kg for the Full water level. Always avoid overloading to ensure effective washing and spinning.

How do I enable or disable the end-of-wash beeping?

Turn the program selector to any program (not 'O'), then in standby mode press and hold the Wash Load and Soak Time buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. Use the Rinse Option button to toggle between enabled (bP) and disabled (--), then press Start/Hold To Pause to save.

What should I do if the display shows 'Ld'?

'Ld' means the lid is not properly closed. Fully close the lid to start the machine.

Can I wash wool or handwash-only garments in this machine?

Yes. Use the Woollens program for machine-washable wool and the Handwash program for delicate items labeled hand-wash. Both automatically select Deep rinse.

How do I use the Delay End feature?

After selecting the wash program, press the Delay End button to choose 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours delay. Then press Start/Hold To Pause to begin the countdown. The machine will start so that the program finishes at the set time.

Out of Balance Interruption

The washing machine can stop during the spin stage of a wash because of an out of balance condition. The display will show “E17” and you will hear a short beep every second.

Out of balance during spin is caused by an uneven distribution of clothes in the wash bowl. To rectify the out of balance condition, open the lid and redistribute the clothes evenly in the space between the agitator and wall of the wash bowl. Closing the lid will start the machine and continue the spin stage of the wash.

If you have frequent out of balance interruptions, it may be due to your washing machine not standing firm and level on the floor. This can be corrected by adjusting the washing machine legs as described in the Installation Instructions supplied with your machine.

Power down recovery

When there is power down while machine is washing or rinsing or spinning. The machine tries to save the settings at which stage the machine is doing and then when the power returns back the machine shows “Pr” on the digital display.

If the Program dial or any other setting is not changed within 5 seconds then the machine starts washing from the stage where it is left off.

Button Response and Lights

Always press buttons gently. Watch the lights on the control panel to see the effect pressing a button or turning a program selector knob has, and listen for 'BEEPS'.

When you press a button you will get a short 'BEEP' to acknowledge the entry. If the option is not available at the time, the machine will not allow you to select it, and you will hear a long 'BEEP' to remind you the option is not available.

After the machine has started, the entire wash option button will be disabled and the machine will show "Err" on the display with three short beeps to indicate the button is disabled. The start button is still active but you need to press and hold the button for 1.2 seconds to pause the machine.

This is to confirm that you really want to pause the machine. When in pause mode, all options will be able to be changed again.

All functions of the washing machine will stop when the lid is open.

Enabling/Disabling End-of-Wash Beeping Mode

This mode permits you to either enable or disable the beeping (3 beeps every 4 minutes) at the end of the wash. As an example, you might wish to disable this beeping when you start a wash when going to bed, so that when the wash finishes approximately 1 hour later, it will not disturb you through the night.

NOTE: All error beeping is not disabled by this feature, such as a critical fault, or lid open during fill/agitate/spin, or out of balance during spinning.

To change the "beeping" selection, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the programme selector knob to any program except the 'O' position, before pressing the Start/Hold To Pause button (Standby Mode), press the "Wash Load" and "Soak Time" buttons simultaneously for about 2 seconds to enter Enabling/Disabling End-Of-Wash Beeping mode.

The digital display will show "bP" when the end of wash beeping is enabled (this is the default factory setting).

The digital display will show "--" when the end of wash beeping is disabled.

1. Press the "Rinse Option" button to change the selection, then press the Start/Hold To Pause button to store the new selection.

NOTE: If you do not press a button within 5 seconds the washing machine will return to the previous setting. To reprogram, simply repeat the above process.

USE

Follow the instructions in this section for best washing results.

Sort Your Washing Into Separate Wash Loads

Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs the same washing conditions. For example, you should not wash delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes.

Colour fast and non-colourfast fabrics should be separated. Knowing the type of fabrics you have and how dirty they are will help when you make selections from the wash program options.

Some fabrics are lint collectors and can pick up lint, dirt and colour from other fabrics which are lint producers. Some examples are listed below:

Lint collectors

• Corduroy
• Synthetics • Permanent press fabrics

Lint producers

• Towels
• Nappies
• Chenille/Candlewick

i

Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.

Check your clothes to avoid damage

Empty all pockets. Close all hooks and zippers to avoid snagging clothes.

Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.

Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers

Pre-treatment sprays and stain remover can damage plastic components on your washing machine.

If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothing well away from your washing machine.

Load the washing machine

When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there are four things to remember:

• Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator. For best results load small items first, followed by large items.
• Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator.
• The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must be able to move around during washing.
• The load should contain only three or four large items, for example, sheets. The rest of the load should be small items. A mixed load of large and small items will wash cleaner than a load of all large items.

Detergent and fabric softener use

• Don't use the wrong type of detergent. You must use a low sudsing detergent designed for washing machines.
• Don't use soap-based products in your washing machine.
• Measure the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent by following the recommendations on the package.
• It is best to use detergent labelled low sudsing. Good quality, front load detergent will perform well in this machine.
• Don't use too much detergent. This will give you too many suds causing low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading the motor during spin stages of the wash program.

Do not spill fabric softener on the clothes as it may stain them.

Add the detergent

When using the washing machine for the first time, check that the dispenser is set for the type of detergent you will use. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Pull the dispenser drawer forward.
2. Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it from the runners.
3. Check the position of the flap at the rear of the detergent compartment in the dispenser drawer. (Factory setting is flap up for powder.)

Clip flap up for powder

1. Clip the flap down if you are going to use liquid detergent.

Clip flap down for liquid

1. Refit the dispenser back into its runners.

Remember: If you change the type of detergent you use, the position of the flap will need changing.

1. You are now ready to add detergent. Measure the amount you will use and pour it into the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.

When using liquid detergent, some may leak out of the dispenser into the wash load earlier than expected through small openings in the back of the dispenser. These openings are to help the flushing out of detergent.

1. If you want to use fabric softener, see "Add fabric softener".
2. Close the drawer by pushing it backwards into the top panel of the washing machine when you have finished adding detergent.

Model: EWT704

Pull out the dispenser drawer. Measure out the amount of detergent required, pour it into the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer.

NOTE: Model EWT704 does not have a clip flap for powder/liquid.

Add Fabric Softener

1. Measure the correct amount of fabric softener by following the recommendations on the package.
2. If you are going to use intensive fabric softener, mix softener with an equal amount of warm water but only mix enough to fill to the line marked inside the cup. The softener cup holds 75ml.
3. Pour the mixed softener into the cup in the top of the agitator.

Do not overfill the cup.

1. Do not spill fabric softener on the clothes as it may stain them.

IMPORTANT: If you are going to use fabric softener, you must select the DEEP rinse option, i.e., deselect the EXTRA or ECO or FAST rinse option. Also, if softener is used frequently, the machine must be flushed out regularly.

NOTE: You do not have to use fabric softener; your washing machine will wash the clothes perfectly well without it.

Adding Bleach

Bleaching of clothes can help to remove stains, heavy soiling, and to kill bacteria.

Oxygen type - This is generally a powder type bleach. Mix the required quantity with water and pour it down the hole in the top panel during the fill when there is some water in the wash bowl. Refer to the instructions on the bleach container.

Chlorine type - This type of bleach should not be mixed with detergent. Mix the bleach with water as per the instructions on the container.

To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Turn PROGRAM SELECTOR to a "Regular Wash" position.
2. Press the "Start/Hold To Pause" button to commence water fill.
3. Pour the bleach solution down the hole in the top panel during fill when there is some water in the wash bowl.
4. Allow the machine to agitate for a few minutes, then let it stand for the required time by pressing and holding the "Start/Hold To Pause" button for 1.2 seconds to pause the machine.
5. Turn PROGRAM SELECTOR to Drain & Spin position and press the "Start/Hold To Pause" button to empty the wash bowl.
6. You can now wash the clothes load using detergent and your selected wash program.

NOTE: Bleach should not be used on silk, wool, rayon or drip dry clothes.

Operating Your Washing Machine

Starting your washing machine

1. Turn on the taps and turn power on at the power point.
2. Close the lid.

The machine will show a pattern of lights. Wait for this to happen before attempting to operate the machine.

Your washing machine is now in Stand By Mode and ready to wash your clothes.

If the settings shown on the control panel are what you want to use and the PROGRAM SELECTOR is set to the correct wash program for your clothes load, press the "Start/Hold To Pause" button to start your wash.

Lid Soft Landing Feature

** Only applied for the model EWT113

When the lid is fully opened, to close just pull down initially the lid then the lid will close down slowly by itself.

Lid soft landing will not working if open lid less than 80 degree.

Select The Required Program

Turn the program selector dial to the required program. The Display shows the duration of the selected program.

The selector dial is divided into the following sections.

• Regular Wash and Fast Wash; - Colours, Delicates, Heavy Soil, Woollens, Handwash, Bedding, Rinse+Spin, Drain+Spin, and Tub Cleaning.

The Program Selector knob is not a timer. Once you select a wash program, the Program Selector knob will stay at that position for the whole wash cycle.

If you do move the Program Selector Knob, the effect will be different depending on the status of the machine at the time you do this, as follows:

1. When the machine is in PAUSE mode, moving the Knob to a new position will result in the machine resetting to the start of the new program.
2. When the machine is running, moving the Knob to a new position will result in the machine continuing the wash and it will show “Err” on the display with 3 consecutive short

beeps to remind you that this option is not allowed.

NOTE: When you choose the WOOLLENS and BEDDING program, the DEEP RINSE option is automatically selected for you. You will not be able to select and use Eco Rinse and Fast Rinse with these two programs.

When you select the DRAIN+SPIN program, there will be a delay of at least 2 minutes before the washing machine starts to spin.

This delay is a pump out (DRAIN) period to ensure the bowl is empty of water, which is necessary before spin commences.

Even though you may have only put wet clothes into an empty bowl, the delay before spin will still occur to be safe and to protect your washing machine.

Program Option Buttons

Depending on the program, different functions can be combined. These must be selected after choosing the desired program and before depressing the “Start/Hold To Pause” button.

When these buttons are pressed, the LED lights come on and you will get information shown in the digital display.

Wash Load Option

1. Pressing the Wash

Load button allows you to choose the water level to be used for your wash.

You can select:

Selection	Water level description	Clothes Load (kg)
		EWT 704	EWT 904	EWT 113
Full	The machine will fill the Full amount of water for your FULL load.	5-7	7-9	9-11
High	The machine will fill the High amount of water for your NEARLY FULL load.	3-5	5-7	6-9
Medium	The machine will fill the medium amount of water for your HALF load.	2-3	3-5	3-6
Low	The machine will fill the Low amount of water for your SMALL load.	0-2	0-3	0-3

1. Use only the amount of water you need for the wash load.
2. If you want to add more water after wash cycle has started, press and hold the “Start/Hold To Pause” button for 1.2 seconds to pause machine and then select the new higher level that you want, press “Start/Hold To Pause” again to operate the washing machine.

The washing machine will add water up to the new level selected and continue the wash program.

Soak Time Option

This option allows you to soak heavily soiled clothes at the beginning of the wash.

You have four soak times to choose from :

No Soak, 15 min, 30 min and 45 min

To do this, select the wash program you want to use, then press the “Soak Time” button.

Rinse Option

Pressing the "Rinse Option" button allows you to change the rinse type.

For most washes the machine automatically selects “Deep” rinse for you.

There are four rinses to choose from

Fast rinse, Eco rinse, Deep rinse and Extra rinse.

• Extra rinse, the machine fills twice, giving you two deep rinses.
• Deep rinse the machine fills once, giving you one deep rinse.
• Eco rinse is a spray rinse giving you maximum water saving.
• Fast rinse uses less time then Eco rinse by performing only 3 Eco sprays but the amount of water in each spray is increased.

How does Eco Rinse work?

When Eco rinse is used, rinse water is sprayed into the washbowl in pulses. After each pulse the washbowl will spin to remove detergent laden water from the clothes.

The machine will go through a series of maximum six pulse spray and short spin cycles in this manner, depending on program selection, followed by a final long spin that removes the water from the clothes to complete the full wash program.

• Compare this with Deep rinse where much more water is used.
• Deep rinse, water enters the machine filling up to the wash water level selected. The washer agitates and finally empties the rinse water through the drain hose.
• Extra rinse, this is special option for those people who suffer from allergies, this extra rinse will provide two deep rinses to ensure all detergent residue has been removed.

i

• Eco Rinse and Fast Rinse CANNOT be selected with Woollens, Bedding and Tub Cleaning program.
• Extra/Eco/Fast rinse is not designed to be used with fabric softener.

Select Deep rinse if you are going to use fabric softener.

Deep rinse ensures the fabric softener is correctly dispensed and thoroughly removed from your clothes during rinsing.

- If your water flow rate is too low (low water pressure). You should avoid ‘Eco’ and ‘Fast’ rinse, because the rinse performance will drop.

You can use ‘Delay End’ option to make machine start to run when water flow rate is too high (e.g. If your country have high water pressing on fairly morning you can run the machine on that time).

Delay End Option

Delay End

Before you start the program, this option makes it possible to define the end of the washing program by 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours. This option MUST be selected after choosing the wash program with the dial, and before pressing the “Start/Hold To Pause” button.

If after having set the Delay-End option (and pressed "Start/Hold To Pause" button) and you wish the cancel or modify it, follow the below steps:

1. set the washing machine to PAUSE by press and hold the "Start/Hold To Pause" button for 1.2 seconds
2. deselect the Delay-End option, changing the status
3. press the "Start/Hold To Pause" to start the program.

NOTE: This option can change if machine is not starting, once the delay period is expire and machine start its normal operation, this option will disable.

Start/Hold To Pause

WASHING HINTS

Sorting the Laundry

• Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer's washing instructions.
• Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Before Loading the Laundry

• Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their "whiteness" in the wash.
• New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

• Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers.
• Tie any belts or long tapes.
• Remove persistent stains before washing.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Removing Stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone (*) as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and Additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

Quantity Of Detergent To Be Used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified in so-called "degrees" of hardness.

Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.

Follow the product manufacturers' instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load, • the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing

CARE AND CLEANING

What To Do After You Have Finished Your Washing.

• Rotate Selector knob to "O" position.
• Switch off the electricity at the power point.
• Turn off the water taps.
• Leave lid open for a while. This allows time for moisture inside the washing machine to evaporate and for any odours to disperse.

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Cleaning The Dispenser

The dispenser needs to be cleaned regularly, preferably after each wash. Inspect the dispenser after each wash to see if there is any residue of detergent.

To do this proceed as follows:

• Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.
• Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it from the runners.

Cleaning the Lint Filter

Lint is a collection of threads and fluff that comes off your clothes during washing.

Your washing machine collects this lint in the lint filter. It is important to clean out this lint filter, preferably after each wash.

How to clean the lint filter:

Remove the filter column from the centre of the agitator.

Unclip the filter bag from the column.

• Turn the bag inside out and remove the lint.
• Wash the filter bag in hot water. Clean the filter bag with an old brush, making sure water can flow through the bag mesh.
• Reassemble the filter to the column and place it back in the centre of the agitator.

Cleaning Your Washing Machine

To clean the inside and outside of your washing machine you should:

• Wipe the surface with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.
• Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Never use solvents, aerosol cleaners, spray pack cleaners, glass cleaners, metal polishes, caustic materials, scourers or general household cleaners on or near the top panel and lid, control panel or other parts of your washing machine.

Cleaning Stains In The Washbowl

Stains and residue in the washbowl can be caused by:

• Metal objects such as bobby pins, dress making pins and nails. Salt.
• Body oils and grease from very dirty or sweaty clothes being deposited around the top of the washbowl.
• Excessive foam during wash if incorrect or too much detergent is used.

• Check all pockets before loading clothes into your washing machine.
• Don't leave wet clothing (especially swimwear) in the bowl for too long before you wash it.

How to clean the washbowl:

• Wipe with a cleaning product which is suitable for stainless steel.
• Oily deposits can be removed by wiping surfaces with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water.

Never use bleach cleaners or steel wool to clean the stainless steel washbowl.

HELPFUL HINTS IN DEALING WITH WASHING PROBLEMS

Residues On Washed Items

If you are experiencing residue on some clothes, the following tips will help:

• Pre-mix the detergent thoroughly in warm water to improve the dissolving.
• Reduce detergent dosage to between a 1/2 and 2/3 of the manufacturer's standard recommendation to avoid over concentration (the lower water usage requires lower detergent usage).
• Some residue may be re-deposited lint, so be careful to not have lint producing items in a load which has darker clothes.
• Select Deep rinse or Extra rinse and NOT Eco or Fast rinse to help flush more particles away.

Some detergents have ingredients which do not fully dissolve and as a consequence, may leave white residue or particles evident on the surface of darker clothes in the finished wash load.

Similarly, some soils may not dissolve fully, resulting in residue evident on lighter coloured clothes.

Stained Clothes

Treat all stains as soon as possible. The longer you leave a stain the harder it will be to remove. Try soakers and stain removers first.

If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothes items in a well ventilated area away from your washing machine.

• Use light strokes and don't rub the stain remover into the fabric.
• If you use a chlorine bleach, follow the instructions on the bottle and dilute it before putting it on clothing.
• Test coloured fabrics on an inside seam for colour fastness before using any stain removers or bleaches.
• Test synthetic fabric on an inside seam before using any chemicals or bleaches.

NOTE: Chemicals referred to for stain removal are available from your local supermarket, hardware store or the chemist.

Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers can damage plastic components on your washing machine.

Do not use dry cleaning fluids or solvents near your washing machine. These fluids will damage your washing machine and may cause an explosion.

Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
