First launch of the Electrolux washing machine

First launch of the Electrolux washing machine Buying a new washing machine can be a real holiday for a housewife. But keep in mind that the first launch of an Electrolux washing machine can ruin this holiday if you carry out the procedure not according to the instructions. If you rush and don’t follow the rules, but just throw in the first batch of clothes and wash them, then you can even ruin the washing machine. To prevent this from happening, we have prepared a list of recommendations that will help you avoid problems during the first wash.

Pre-preparation stage

First of all, you need to carefully inspect the machine to make sure it is ready for use. Study the manufacturer's instructions in detail, become familiar with all washing modes, additional features and other subtleties of operating the equipment. Afterwards, check it yourself.

Make sure all hoses are securely secured. Pay special attention to the drain hose. If it is not secured very securely, then there is a risk of flooding the house when removing used water from the washing machine.
Check that you have removed all bolts for transport. The manufacturer installs them for convenient transportation of equipment, so as not to damage fragile parts. Each bolt must be removed before starting the machine, otherwise the washer may be damaged. If you do not know the exact number of temporary bolts, then study the official instructions.
Examine the drum for foreign objects. It should be empty inside.
Finally, get rid of the adhesive tape from the body of the device, which the manufacturer uses to secure the parts so that they do not jump out during transportation.

Be extremely careful when working with the intelligent functions of the machine, otherwise you may mistakenly disrupt the operation of the main control module.

After all manipulations, before starting the first wash, open the valve on the inlet hose. This action will draw water from the water supply, and then you can start the washing machine for the first time.

Test launch of equipment

The Electrolux company does not recommend immediately starting to wash dirty clothes. The manufacturer insists on the need for a test run without laundry, so that the equipment is washed from the inside and cannot stain clothes in the future. During the test, you need to constantly be nearby in case some kind of malfunction occurs in the operation of the machine. The correct procedure for the first wash is as follows:

connect the device to the power supply;
close the hatch, activate the “Power” button;
add powder or gel to the detergent compartment;
select the desired washing mode, it is advisable to use the most popular program;
wait until the end of the work, checking from time to time whether everything is in order with the washing machine;
inspect the equipment and all hoses to see if there are any puddles or water leaks.

During the test, listen carefully to the operation of the machine, paying attention to any extraneous noise.

If everything is in order, then there should not be any unnecessary sounds, such as hum or grinding. Also, the equipment should not vibrate too much, bounce in place or move too much from its place.

If any of the above occurs, you should once again carefully check whether the machine is installed correctly or even call a specialist. Also, do not exclude uneven floors in the house, which can cause noise and vibrations.

First full launch

After a successful test run, you are convinced that the equipment is in good working order and all its internal parts have been washed. Only now can you begin your first real wash. Distribute white, black and colored clothes, and then start washing.

Load laundry. It is important not to overload the drum, otherwise you can seriously damage the washer.
Close the hatch, add washing powder to the tray where the main wash is marked with the number “II”. The middle section is used for liquid conditioners.
Set the desired washing program, adjust the temperature and spin, and then start the job.
When you hear the signal that the process is complete, remove the clean clothes and leave the machine to dry.

This will complete the first wash procedure successfully. There are no difficulties in it, but if you want the equipment to serve for a long time, then you should not neglect it. Handle the washing machine carefully, follow safety precautions, use the manufacturer's instructions and instructions, and then everything will be fine with the washing machine.
