Turning on the Electrolux washing machine

Turning on SM Electrolux Modern machines are easy to operate. It is enough to study the instructions once and understand how to use and, in particular, turn on the Electrolux washing machine. Especially if you previously had a washing machine from another or the same brand.

But it’s not difficult to start the Electrolux machine for the first time. You just need to get acquainted with the equipment dashboard and take into account several important nuances.

Take your first launch seriously

connection to SM communications Immediately loading laundry into a newly purchased washing machine would be a bad idea. Before using the equipment as usual, it is necessary to prepare it, install it, connect it to communications, wash it and configure it. The first step will be installation with leveling and unscrewing the transport bolts. The latter protect the tank during transportation, but before starting the first wash they must be removed from the body.

The second step is to connect the equipment to communications: power supply, water supply and sewerage. It is important to check the quality of the connections - everything should be as tight and safe as possible.

The third point is technical launch. This means turning on the idle cycle to cleanse the washer of factory grease and the characteristic “chemical” aroma. It is important that the first wash is done without laundry, but with detergent. We proceed like this:

check that the drum is empty;
pour the powder into the largest compartment of the detergent tray;
plug the machine into the socket;
turn the selector to any long-term high-temperature mode ("Cotton", "60" or "90" will do);
click “Start”.

The first time the washing machine starts “idle” - with an empty drum, but with detergent.

If the machine does not respond to the command, then it is worth checking whether the hatch is tightly closed. There may also be other problems caused by poor connection or manufacturing defects. This is the main task of the first cycle - to evaluate the performance of Electrolux. If there is noise, knocking, leaks, increased vibration or other suspicious “symptoms,” we call a repairman. Remember that in this case free warranty service will apply.

Running a normal program

After the technical launch, Electrolux is ready to operate normally. Now you can start washing your laundry, the main thing is to select the appropriate program, setting the system in the desired way. You should focus on the color and type of fabric, as well as the presence of stains and the time available for cleaning.

If this is the first time the machine has appeared in the house, then the abundance of icons and buttons on the machine’s dashboard can confuse and even frighten. But you shouldn’t be afraid – you can understand the functionality of the equipment in one read of the instructions. It deciphers all the images and describes in detail the available modes and options.

Before starting the washing machine, read the factory instructions - it describes the operating rules of the equipment, as well as the available modes, functions and powers.

Having dealt with the buttons, we proceed to turn on the cycle. The instructions are as follows: Where to pour powder in an Electrolux washing machine

insert the power cord plug into the socket;
open the water supply to the machine;
fill the drum with things, observing the loading norm;
close the hatch until it clicks;
open the powder receptacle;
add detergent, powder, gel, softener, rinse aid;
press the system power button;
use the selector to select the desired position;
start the wash with the “Start” button.

Modern Electrolux will indicate the end of the cycle with a sound signal. But immediately after the melody it is useless to try to open the hatch - the electronic door lock is removed 2-3 minutes after the “finish”.

It is not recommended to wash all items using one mode. For high-quality and gentle washing, it is important to choose the right program for the color and type of fabric: cotton, wool and silk products require different conditions, spin and temperature. Failure to follow the rules will affect the quality of the clothes - they will deteriorate, become discolored or deformed.

Dosage of funds

An important point is adding detergent to the washing machine. An insufficient or excessive amount of powder will directly affect the cleaning result: the item will either remain soapy or will not remove stains. The dosage of the concentrate depends on its composition and the weight of the loaded laundry. It is better to focus on the recommendations on the packaging, and measure the amount with a measuring spoon.

But first, let’s look at the powder receiver compartments. On the left is a hopper for the main wash, on the right is a compartment for the preliminary program, and in the center is a cuvette for additional liquids. The latter refers to rinsing agents, softeners and bleaches.
