Set the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water
softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and
salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees (dH°), French degrees (°TH)
and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
Water hardness Adjusting the water hardness setting Use of
°dH °TH mmol/l manually electronically

37 - 42 65 - 75 6,5 - 7,5 2 level 8 yes
The softener should be adjusted according
to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on
the hardness of the water in your area.
The water softener must be set in two
ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically.

salt
1. Press the On/Off button. The dishwasher
must be in setting mode.
Use of dishwasher salt
Warning!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water soften e r. Only f i ll with s a lt just b e fore sta r ting one
of the complete washing programmes. This
will prevent any grains of salt or salty water,
which may have been spilt, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time,
which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket
and unscrew the cap of the salt container
by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container
(this is necessary only before filling
with salt for the first time) .
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt
until the container is full.
8 electrolux
4. Replace the cap making sure that there
is no trace of salt on the screw thread or
on the gasket.
Use of rinse aid
Warning! Only use branded rinse aid for
dishwashers.
Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any
other substances (e.g. dishwasher
cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This
would damage the appliance.
Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and
spot and streak free drying.
Rinse aid is automatically added during
the last rinse.
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
5. Replace the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
Do not worry if water overflows from the
unit when filling with salt, this is quite
normal.
The salt indicator light on the control
panel can remain illuminated for 2-6
hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using
salt that takes longer to dissolve
then this can take longer. The operation of the machine is not affected.
2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by
"max".
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse
aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and
40 washing cycles, depending upon the
dosage setting.
3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means
of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum
dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
The dose is factory set in position 4.
Increase the dose if there are drops of water
or lime spots on the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks
on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or
knife blades.
Daily use
• Check if it’s necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the
cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.
Helpful hints and tips
Sponges, household cloths and any object
that can absorb water may not be washed in
the dishwasher.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove all left over food and debris.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
• When loading the dishes and cutlery,
please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the
rotation of the spray arms.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-ofpearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetics fibres.
electrolux 9
– Load hollow items such as cups,
glasses, pans, etc. with the opening
downwards so that water cannot collect
in the container or a deep base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie
inside one another, or cover each other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must
not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water
drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be
loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by
the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing: Residues, e.g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.

Load cutlery and dishes
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Service dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.
horizontally in the upper basket. Take
care when loading or unloading sharp
items such as knives.
Forks and spoons should be placed in the
removable cutlery basket with the handles
facing downwards and the knives with their
handles facing upwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the
basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent
them from sticking together.
To make loading of the cutlery basket easier,
lower the cutlery basket handle.
The rows of prongs in the lower basket can
lie flat to allow you to load pots, pans and
bowls.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright
position are a potential hazard. Long
and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving knives must be positioned
For best results we recommend that you use
the cutlery grids.
If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do
not allow the use of the grids, they can be
easily hidden.
The cutlery basket is in two parts which can
be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them
apart.
electrolux 11
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.
For taller items the cup racks can be folded
upwards.
To reassemble, reverse the procedure.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for saucers,
salad bowls, cups, glasses, pots and lids.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup
racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
For glasses with long stems (according to the
size and dimensions), set the glass holder to
the left or right position.
The central rows of prongs can be easily lowered to improve loading flexibility.

Mini cutlery basket
The upper basket is supplied with a mini cutlery basket.
Caution! NEVER PUT KNIVES IN THE
MINI CUTLERY BASKET. THIS WILL
PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
APPLIANCE.
The mini cutlery basket must only be placed
in the front part of the upper basket, on the
left or on the right side.
Refer to the figures for a correct positioning
of the soft spikes. For more loading flexibility,
they can be positioned on the left or righthand side of the basket.
Once positioned correctly, press them down
firmly and make sure they do not move.
The dimensions of the cutlery depend on the
position of the upper basket. Refer to the following table.

chamber (2).
This detergent will be used during the
prewash phase.
When using detergent tablets; place the
tablet in compartment (1)
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in
place.
Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For
this reason, some detergent tablets do
not attain their full cleaning power during
short washing programmes. Therefore,
please use long washing programmes
when using detergent tablets, to ensure
the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Multi-tab function
This appliance is equipped with the "Multitab
function", that allows the use of the "Multitab"
combi detergent tablets.
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions.

Care and cleaning
Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and cleaned
from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the
washing result.
Warning! Before cleaning the filters
ensure that the machine is switched off.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a
coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat
18 electrolux
filter. Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter.
3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anti-
clockwise and remove the filter system
4.
Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the
handle with the hole and remove from the
microfilter (B).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running
water.
6. Remove the flat filter from the base of the
washing compartment and clean both
faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the
washing compartment and ensure that it
fits perfectly.
8.
Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter
(B) and press together.
9. Put the filter combination in place and
lock by turning the handle clockwise to
the stop. During this process ensure that
the flat filter does not protrude above the
base of the washing compartment.
NEVER use the dishwasher without
filters. Incorrect repositioning and
fitting of the filters will produce poor
washing results and will result in
damage to the appliance.
NEVER try to remove the spray
arms.
If residues of soil have clogged the holes
in the spray arms, remove the debris
with a cocktail stick.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine
and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If
necessary use only neutral detergents. Never
use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc...).
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are
cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months you run the
wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.

Water connection
Water inlet connection
This appliance can be connected to either a
hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.
With a hot water supply you can have a significant reduction of energy consumption.
This however, depends on how the hot water
is produced. (We suggest alternative sources
of energy that are more environmentally
friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels
and aeolian).
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the appliance water inlet
hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" thread
spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling
tap such as the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits
given in the 'Technical data'. Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being connected.
The appliance features inlet and drain hoses
which can be turned either to the left or the
right to suit the installation by means of the
Insert the machine after adjusting the levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting
the machine, ensure that the water inlet and
drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
During all operations that involve accessibility
to internal components the dishwasher has
to be unplugged.
Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily accessible for the service
engineer in the event that a repair is required.
If the dishwasher is later used as a freestanding appliance, the original worktop
must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not
adjustable.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure
and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the
door will not catch on either side of the cabinet .
If the door does not close correctly, loosen
or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
locknut. The locknut must be correctly
fitted to avoid water leaks.
Attention! NOT all dishwasher models of
have inlet and drain hoses provided with
a locknut. In this case, this facility is not
available.
If the appliance is connected to new pipes or
pipes which have not been used for a long
time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
DO NOT use connection hoses which
have previously been used on an old appliance.
This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water
used in the appliance from returning
back into the drinking water system. This
appliance complies with the applicable
plumbing regulations.
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap.
Therefore the water inlet hose is only under
electrolux 23
pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running
water.
Please take care when installing the water
inlet hose:
• The electrical cable for the safety valve is
in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do
not immerse the water inlet hose or the
safety valve in water.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is
damaged, remove the mains plug immediately.
• A water inlet hose with safety valve must
only be replaced by the Service Force
Centre.
Warning! Dangerous voltage
Water drain connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected
in the following ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the
underside of the work surface. This will
prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.
2. To a stand pipe provided with venthole,
minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
max 85 cm
min 40 cm
The drain hose can face either to the right or
left of the dishwasher
Ensure the drain hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the
discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the
water to syphon back into the machine.
If you use a drain hose extension, its internal
diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of
the hose provided.
When connecting the drain hose to an under
sink trap spigot, the entire plastic mem-
brane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food
particles building up over time eventually
blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return
valve" incorporated this can prevent the
correct draining of your dishwasher. We
therefore advise you to remove it.
To avoid water leakage after installation
make sure that the water couplings are
tight.
