Here is a small instruction manual for your washing machine; following the recommendations will ensure reliable operation of the equipment. Don't neglect it, read it carefully, it will take much less time than you think.
Safe Operation
The Electrolux EWS 1046 washing machine is intended only for home use according to the rules described below. Otherwise, there is a risk of rapid wear of the equipment.
- Installation of the washing machine must be carried out by a trained technician; independent repairs and connection of equipment can lead to injury and property damage. In addition, warranty repairs do not cover such equipment.
- Equipment repairs should be carried out only using branded spare parts suitable for this machine.
- The machine must be placed so that it does not bend the drain and inlet hoses. The surface on which the equipment is placed must be flat and durable.
- The machine must be operated by an adult; it is also better to keep children away while washing, as the glass door gets hot.
- Make sure the drum is empty before loading items.
- Do not overload the machine with laundry, wash only what is machine washable.
- It is not recommended to machine wash underwired bras as they may damage the drum.
- Check your clothing pockets to prevent small items from falling into the tank.
- Wash small items (scarves, socks, tights, stockings) in special bags.
- Use only automatic powders, no dry cleaning.
- When washing is complete, turn off the machine and close the water tap.
Choose washing programs in accordance not only with the type of fabric, but also with the degree of soiling; do not pre-wash items that only need to be freshened.
Installation
Installation of the washing machine begins with unpacking it and removing the transport fasteners, which are 3 screws screwed into the back of the machine. You need to do the following:
- first unscrew the bolt on the right;
- carefully place the machine on its “back”;
- remove the foam tray;
- pull off the adhesive tape and take out two plastic bags;
- return the machine to a vertical position;
- unscrew the remaining two screws;
- close the holes with plugs.
Now the machine needs to be placed at the installation site on a leveled floor. The machine must be placed so that ventilation is provided on all sides. The machine itself is leveled by tightening the locknuts on the legs.
The instructions describe connecting the Electrolux EWS 1046 washing machine quite briefly, so we recommend reading a detailed article about it How to connect a washing machine to a faucet.
Connecting to the sewer can be done in several ways, the most reliable of which is connecting to a drain in a siphon. In this case, the outlet must be at a height of at least 60 cm from the floor. The hose is secured with a clamp.
When connecting the washing machine to electricity, make sure that:
- the network can withstand a load of 2.2 kW, be sure to take into account the load of other devices;
- the socket is grounded;
- There is easy access to the socket so that after each wash you can easily turn off the machine.
The washing machine manufacturer is not responsible for violating the connection rules, so entrust this work to a professional.
Description of the machine
The Electrolux washing machine is a modern smart device that, thanks to the auto-weighing system, economically washes even small amounts of clothes and linen. The control panel of this machine is mechanical and is equipped with one selector, a power button, 7 additional buttons, and also has a small digital display.
The selector is designed to select a program; for convenience, it is divided into five sectors:
- modes for cotton fabrics;
- modes for synthetics;
- modes for thin fabrics;
- modes for wool;
- special programs.
Important! Do not forget to return the selector to position O when washing is complete.
Small buttons are needed to select additional functions, except the rightmost button, which launches the selected program. So, the buttons from left to right mean:
- prewash;
- spin speed adjustment;
- stopping with water in the tank. When you select this function, the water can be drained as follows: turn the selector to position O, select program D (drain), press the Start button;
- shortening the wash cycle, does not work for the “Wool” program;
- additional rinse cycle;
- "BIO" washing, i.e. maintaining the same temperature for 10 minutes;
- delayed start.
Another important part of the washing machine is the powder dispenser located in the upper left corner. Everything is simple in it, the main compartment is located in the center, on the right is a compartment for fabric softeners (conditioners), and on the left is a compartment for powder, in case you start a washing cycle for very dirty laundry, that is, when you turn on the prewash.
How to use
Using the Electrolux EWS 1046 washing machine is easy, all programs and functions are remembered the first time.Starting a new washing machine should start with a dry wash, that is, washing without laundry at 60 degrees with about 100 g of powder. The general startup algorithm looks like this:
- place the laundry evenly in the drum, sorting it;
- close the door;
- Pour powder into the dispenser according to the dosage;
- turn on the machine and open the tap;
- turn the selector to the desired washing mode;
- if necessary, press the additional function button;

Upon completion of work, the machine turns off automatically; all you have to do is unplug the plug from the socket and turn off the water. You also need to wipe the rubber cuff, rinse the powder dispenser and leave the door open.
Malfunctions
If malfunctions and problems arise during operation of the washing machine, an error code will appear on the display. The decoding of such codes is given by the manufacturer in the full instructions; we will not duplicate their table.
