Button 1/2 — Reduced load (cotton and linen up to 2.25 kg): uses much less water for rinsing. Works with A, B, C, D.
Button drain off — Drain cancel: after rinsing the laundry stays in the water. With programs G, H, K. To drain and spin, press the button again; to only drain, choose M.
Button door — Opening the loading door. The door is locked for the duration of the program.
Temperature knob °C — Turn the knob and set the required temperature; it turns both ways. At the snowflake symbol there is no heating.
Programme knob program — Turn the knob clockwise, setting it to the required program; the program mark appears in the window.
Lamp — "Program running" signal lamp: comes on at the start of operation and goes off at the end.

Cabinet

Wash with a hand dishwashing product, then rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Do not use products containing alcohol.

Dispenser

Wash under running water from time to time. It is removed by pressing the catch at the top left; the upper part, where the additives are poured, can be taken out to make cleaning easier.

Dispenser recess

Clean with an old toothbrush, then put the dispenser back and run a wash without laundry.

Drain hose filter

Clean the mesh periodically: open the cover, place a tray, unscrew the mesh, rinse it, put it back and close the cover.

Fill hose filter

If the machine fills with water slowly: close the tap, disconnect the hose, take out the filter with pliers, clean it with a toothbrush.

Cleaning the machine and limescale

If you often wash at low temperature or with a small amount of powder, once a month run a program without laundry at 90-95 °C with the normal dose of powder. If the water hardness is above 7 °dH, remove limescale deposits at least 4 times a year (1.5 dl of citric acid instead of powder, a program without laundry at high temperature).

Frost protection

Close the tap, disconnect the fill hose, let the machine run for a few seconds, lower the end of the drain hose into a bucket, run the "Drain" program.

First start

Before the first wash run a program at 60 °C without laundry, with the prewash switched off; put 100 g of powder in the main wash compartment.

Where the data comes from

Electrolux EW 814 F / EW 1010 F: operating manual (RU), p. pdf 5-16 (нумерация брошюры 41-52) (manual archive)
Model page in the manual archive rembitteh.ru (manual archive)

Assumptions

The selector positions (A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, 11 positions evenly around the circle) and the temperature knob divisions (0, 30, 40, 60, 95) are estimates: the manual shows only a small-scale photo of the panel and the program card separately. The order of letters is taken as alphabetical.
The duration is given in the manual only for B at 60 °C with 4.5 kg (130 min); the other steps and their order in cycle.steps are estimates.
Drain cancel button: the manual names programs G, H, J, K (p. 42), while in the table the symbol appears only for G, H, K (pp. 44-45); the table version is adopted, J is not included (J has no rinses in the table).
The panel colours are nominal: the photo from the manual was not used for the colours.
The year range is an estimate: the manual does not give the year of manufacture.
The main wash water volume (14 l) is an estimate; the table gives a consumption of 59 l for the whole of program B at 60 °C.

Not in the manual

The heater power is not given: the technical data has only the total power consumption of 2200 W (p. 52).
Durations and water consumption are not given for programs other than B at 60 °C.
The look of the temperature knob and its divisions are not shown; the selector scale and the off position are not shown.
The Russian-language program card is absent from the PDF (the manual only mentions it), so the panel symbols were not checked against it.
It does not say whether the door opens sooner than 1-2 minutes when stopped with water.

Time is an estimate from the timer steps and heater power: heating 14 l of water from 15 °C to the selected temperature with a 2000 W (not stated in the manual, typical value used) heater. Real time depends on tap water temperature, load and mains voltage.
