This document describes a washing machine, specifically the Electrolux EWF 147580 W and EWF 167580 W models, which feature a Steam System.
The washing machine is designed for washing and steam treatment of standard laundry in domestic applications. It meets modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy, and detergent consumption. Its washing system ensures optimal detergent use and reduced water consumption, contributing to energy savings. The integrated Steam System allows users to reduce creases and odors from dried laundry using various steam programs tailored to different fabric types.
The appliance offers a range of washing programs for various fabric types, including Cottons, Synthetics, Delicates, Wool/Handwash, Rinse, Drain, Spin, Cotton Economy, Blanket, and 5 Shirts. Each program has default temperature and spin speed settings, which can be adjusted by the user. The Time Manager function allows for modification of the program duration based on the soil degree of the laundry.
The Steam System includes specific programs for dried laundry: Cottons, Synthetics, and Freshen-Up. These cycles are designed to reduce creases and remove odors without the need for detergent. Steam programs do not perform a hygienic cycle, and certain types of clothes (those not suitable for tumble-drying or garments with plastic, metal, or wooden parts) should not be put into a steam cycle.
The control panel features a program selector dial, a display, and several buttons for various options. The program selector dial is used to switch the appliance on/off and select a washing program. The display provides information such as temperature, spin value, option icons (Extra Rinse, Easy Iron, Delay), child safety lock status, door locked status, program duration, and washing program phase icons.
Users can adjust the washing temperature and spin speed using dedicated buttons. Options like Prewash, Extra Rinse, and Delay Start can be selected to customize the wash cycle. The Prewash option is recommended for heavily soiled laundry, while Extra Rinse is suitable for people allergic to detergents or in areas with very soft water. The Delay Start function allows users to postpone the program start for up to 20 hours.
The Time Manager buttons enable users to modify the program duration based on the soil degree, with options ranging from Intensive (heavy soiled) to Quick (very slightly soiled).
The appliance includes a Child Safety Lock, which can be activated to prevent children from operating the machine or causing damage. This feature can be enabled either before starting a program (preventing the machine from starting) or after a program has begun (preventing changes to the program or options).
To load laundry, the door is opened by pulling the handle outwards, and items are placed in the drum one at a time. Detergent and fabric softener are added to the respective compartments in the dispenser drawer, ensuring not to exceed the "MAX" mark. Liquid detergents should be poured just before starting the program.
At the end of a program, the machine stops automatically, displaying three flashing zeros and turning off the door lock icon. If a program ends with water left in the tub (e.g., Rinse Hold or Night Cycle options), the water must be drained before the door can be opened.
The appliance also features acoustic signals to indicate the end of a cycle or a fault, which can be deactivated if desired.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the appliance's longevity and optimal performance.
Care and Cleaning:
Drain Pump: The drain pump should be inspected regularly, especially if the appliance doesn't empty or spin, makes unusual noises during draining, or has draining problems.
Cleaning the water inlet filters: If the machine takes longer to fill, the water inlet hose filter might be blocked.
