Warnings - Electrolux EWF1284EDW Service Manual

2 WARNINGS


Any work on electrical appliances must only be carried out by qualified
technicians.

Before servicing an appliance, check the efficiency of the electrical system in
the home using appropriate instruments. For example: refer to the indications
provided/illustrated in the <<metratester>> course at the address
(http://electrolux.edvantage.net) on the Electrolux Learning Gateway portal.

On completing operations, check that the appliance has been restored to the
same state of safety as when it came off the assembly line.

If the circuit board has to be handled/replaced, use the ESD kit (Code 405 50 63-95/4)
to avoid static electricity from damaging the circuit board, see S.B. No. 599 72 08-09
or consult the course <<Electrostatic charges>> at the address
(http://electrolux.edvantage.net) on the Electrolux Learning Gateway portal.

This platform is not fitted with an ON/OFF switch. Before you access internal
components, take the plug out of the socket to cut the power supply.

Make resistance measurements, rather than direct voltage and current
measurements.

Warning the sensors located in the display board could be at a potential
of 220 Volts.

When replacing the heating element, replace it with one that
has the same characteristics (2 thermal fuses) in order not
to compromise the safety of the appliance. Do not remove/
switch the NTC sensors between heating elements.

Always empty the appliance of all the water before laying it on its side
(see the relevant paragraph).

Never place the appliance on its right side (electronic control system side):
some of the water in the detergent dispenser could leak onto the electrical/
electronic components and cause these to burn.

When replacing components, please refer to the code shown in the list of spare
parts relating to the appliance.
