Only a specialist from a certified center has the right to carry out service or repair of this device. Do not attempt to carry out the above work yourself.
When installing it, you must pay attention to the fact that the Electrolux ews 1046 washing machine is not located on the hoses through which water is supplied to the system or on those through which the liquid is drained.
Unit operation
In order to ensure that this device operates in a safe mode and maintain its functionality throughout the entire period, you will need to perform a number of actions. They are contained in the operating instructions. These steps are not complicated, but they allow you to avoid unusual situations, which then lead to breakdowns and costs for repairs and maintenance of the system.
- If we talk about using such a device, it should be noted that only persons who have reached the age of majority have the right to work with it. When using it, there is a characteristic feature associated with the fact that the hatch for loading laundry can be subject to strong heating. This may be dangerous to humans. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid being near a child’s hatch during the washing process to prevent such a situation from occurring.
- Before you begin the process of loading laundry into the drum of the unit, you should carefully inspect it and make sure that it is empty. Only after this is it allowed to place the laundry there and start washing.
- When loading laundry, avoid overloading the drum. You can find out the exact information about the weight of laundry that can be placed there by studying the corresponding operating instructions for this unit. After this, it is allowed to carry out the corresponding process according to the established regime.
- The procedure for washing clothes is required only for the category that is allowed by the operating conditions. If the laundry is not intended for machine washing, then placing it in the drum is strictly prohibited. This can lead to failure of machine elements or damage the laundry.
- It is necessary to avoid washing clothes in this unit that may contain metal elements. If you do this, there will be a high probability of such parts getting into the drum and causing it to fail prematurely.
- If you need to wash small items, it is recommended to do it using the appropriate type of bags. Such devices allow you to wash this type of laundry, which eliminates the possibility of them getting into the plane between the drum of the washing machine and the tank itself.
- During this process, it is necessary to follow all the recommendations of the device manufacturer in terms of the use of washing powder and other related components. It is also necessary to observe the dosages of detergents, which are given in the corresponding instructions for using the washing machine. If you do not adhere to this set of recommendations, then there is a high probability of premature failure of this machine and damage to things during the process.
- The operating instructions state that it is strictly forbidden to use this machine for dry cleaning of things. Due to its technical parameters, this unit is not intended for such a process.If you use it for this purpose or as an element of bleaching, then there is a possibility of damage to things, which will entail significant material costs.
- Before you begin the process of removing laundry from the drum, you need to carefully inspect it for water content. Only after its absence becomes clear, you can open the hatch door and take out the washed clothes. In a situation where water remains in the drum after completing the procedure, you must follow the recommendations given in the manual for using this washing system. Then this will allow you to drain the remaining water and remove the washed clothes.
- After the process associated with washing clothes is completed, a number of steps must be taken to turn off the device. To do this, you first need to close the tap installed on the water supply system. This will make it possible to prevent the involuntary entry of water into the system. After this, it is necessary to turn off the power to the unit. For these purposes, the main switch is de-energized and no power will be supplied to the machine. Additionally, it is necessary to open the loading class hatch. This will make it possible to maintain the required level of elasticity of the rubber seal on the hatch, which will then help to avoid leakage during the washing procedure.
Safety of minors
If we talk about the safety of children during operation of this washing unit, then we need to pay special attention to the psychological aspects of this problem. In particular, most children may not be fully aware of the degree of danger that a device may pose during its operation.This is due to the fact that this model of washing machine belongs to electrical household appliances that have large dimensions and pose an increased danger.
- Therefore, the operating instructions require adults to adhere to several simple recommendations to prevent the occurrence of this type of situation.
- First of all, during its operation it is necessary to closely monitor children in order to prevent their presence or play in the immediate vicinity of the system. This will minimize the risk of a dangerous situation.
- Even the packaging from the washing machine in which it is supplied to the consumer poses a danger to children. For example, packing tape can be a choking hazard and is dangerous for him to play with. Therefore, it is necessary to exclude children from contact with these objects.
- During the stripping, as mentioned earlier, it is necessary to use a number of detergents that are recommended by the manufacturer of the unit. Such washing components pose an increased danger to children and can cause serious poisoning. Therefore, they must be kept in places that will be difficult for the child to reach. This will prevent children from coming into contact with them.
- In a situation where the machine has served its purpose and is subject to disposal, it is necessary to take measures to separate the power cord from the body. At the same time, you need to make sure that the lock located on the loading hatch is removed. This will prevent your child from accidentally falling into the drum and becoming trapped there.
Rules for environmental protection
Before you start operating this unit, you must carefully study the labeling of all its elements.This will make it possible to understand which of them can be reused, and which will then need to be subjected to a recycling procedure using a special technology.
For example, all elements made of polyethylene and polystyrene must be disposed of in places specially designated for this purpose, where there are containers with appropriate markings. It is not allowed to throw them into places where household waste accumulates.
In order to carry out the procedure for recycling the unit in question, you must carefully study the relevant rules, which are usually established by local governments, and only then proceed to the procedure.
It is important to follow a number of steps that allow you to carefully use natural resources in the form of water and not consume an increased amount of electrical energy.
- You should always use a full drum load when washing. At the same time, it is carefully monitored and overloading is not allowed. This approach makes it possible to rationally use water resources and electrical energy.
- It is recommended by experts to use a special washing program at the preliminary stage in situations where the laundry is very dirty. In other situations, this will be an unnecessary waste of water and electricity.
- You must always choose the optimal concentration of detergent in relation to the water hardness indicator and the volume of laundry that will be washed. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the degree of its contamination. Then the resources will be spent justifiably.
- If you need to wash things that are not very dirty, then it is recommended to choose a short program, which will allow you to achieve maximum results in terms of efficiency in a short period of time.
- If you have to wash a drum that is not full in terms of load volume, then you need to use a proportionally reduced amount of detergent. In normal conditions, it is recommended to use half to two-thirds of the norm for a full load in the washing procedure.
