Electrolux EWDK5846B Freestanding Washer Dryer with DualCare and SteamRefresh
DualCare technology for every fabric type:
The Electrolux 500 DualCare washer dryer combination handles both washing and drying in a single drum, automatically adjusting temperature and drum motion to suit cottons, synthetics, wool, and delicates. The DualCare® system reads the fabric load and tailors the cycle so that clothes come out clean and dry without unnecessary wear. The Woolmark Blue certification confirms that wool items can be washed and dried with confidence.
SteamRefresh for lightly worn garments:
The SteamRefresh programme takes 25 minutes and uses up to 96% less water than a standard wash cycle, gently lifting odours and reducing creases from garments that do not need a full wash. It is a practical option for refreshing workwear, school uniforms, or occasion clothing between washes. No pre-soaking or extra handling is needed.
Efficient drying with a 1600rpm spin:
A maximum spin speed of 1600rpm extracts more moisture from laundry before the drying phase begins, which reduces the overall time and energy needed to finish a load. The Inverter Motor+ runs the drum efficiently and quietly, with a stated noise level of 75dB(A) during the spin cycle. Water condense drying means no external vent is required, so the machine can be positioned wherever a standard plumbing connection is available.
SensiCare and Time Manager for smarter cycles:
SensiCare technology monitors load weight and adjusts washing time, water volume, and energy use accordingly, so lighter loads are not treated the same as full ones. Time Manager shortens cycle times on lightly soiled items, and the Wash&Dry 60 programme completes a full wash-and-dry cycle for up to 1kg of mixed fabrics in one hour. A delay start of up to 20 hours lets you schedule cycles around your household routine.

Setup and Care
Positioning:
The EWDK5846B is a freestanding unit designed for installation on a flat, level surface with access to a cold water inlet and a standard drain outlet. The four adjustable feet allow the machine to be levelled on slightly uneven flooring. The maximum depth of 557mm means the machine fits into most standard laundry alcoves and kitchen runs.
Plumbing and ventilation:
Water condense drying requires no external vent or ducting, so the machine can be positioned wherever a plumbing connection is available. The 130cm inlet hose and included drain hose give a useful amount of reach for connecting to standard household plumbing. A qualified plumber or appliance installer should make the final water connections.
Drum care:
Running a Cotton 90°C cycle with drum cleaner once a month keeps the drum, door seal, and interior free of detergent residue and odour-causing build-up. The door and detergent drawer should be left ajar after each cycle to allow the interior to air dry between washes.
Filter maintenance:
The pump filter should be checked and cleaned every few months, or sooner if a blockage warning appears on the LED display. The water inlet filter at the back of the machine should be inspected periodically and rinsed clean. Both tasks can be done without tools and are described step by step in the user manual supplied with the machine.
