disconnected from the mains socket
during installation.
Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap
and a water drain.
The plinth of a freestanding appliance is not
adjustable.
Do not remove the appliance's worktop if
you want to use it as a freestanding unit.
It is not necessary to remove the worktop
when installing under a standard kitchen
bench top.
Only remove the appliance worktop to install it under a close fitting sink unit or kitchen worktop (820mm).
Make sure that the dimensions of the recess agree with the given dimensions.
2. Pull the worktop behind the appliance
(2).
3. Lift the worktop and move it from the
front slots (3).
4. Level the appliance using the adjustable
feet.
5. Install the appliance under the kitchen
worktop. Ensure that water hoses are
not kinked or squashed.
The appliance must be easily accessible to
the technician if a repair is necessary.
Adjusting the level of the appliance
Make sure that the appliance is level to
close and seal the door correctly. If the level
of the appliance is correct, the door does
not catch on the sides of the cabinet. If the
door does not close correctly, loosen or
tighten the adjustable feet until the appliance is level.

kPa min.
• Water flow rate 10 L / minute min.
Page 19
electrolux 19
• If cold water pressure is in excess of 800
kPa, a pressure reducing valve should be
used. Check for leaks.
Caution! Always use new hoses when
you connect the appliance to the water
mains. Old hoses must not be used.
The water inlet hose must be examined
at an interval of twelve months for
deterioration and replaced if necessary.
The water pressure must be in the limits (refer to 'Technical data'). Make sure that the
local water authority gives you the average
mains pressure in your area.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the
water inlet hose and that the water inlet
hose is not squashed or entangled.
Fit the hose nut correctly to prevent water
leaks.
Caution! Do not connect the appliance
to new pipes or pipes that have been
not used for a long time. Let the water
run for some minutes, then connect the
inlet hose.
The water inlet hose is double-walled and
has an inner mains cable and a safety valve.
The water inlet hose is under pressure only
while the water is running. If there is a leak
in the water inlet hose, , the safety valve interrupts the running water.
Be careful when you install the water inlet
hose.
Warning!
• The mains cable is in the doublewalled inlet hose. Do not immerse
the water inlet hose or the safety
valve in water.
• Do not attempt to shorten the inlet
hose.
• If the water inlet hose or the safety
valve is damaged, immediately turn
off the power and remove the mains
plug from the mains socket.
• Only a qualified Service Engineer can
replace the water inlet hose with
safety valve.
Warning!
Dangerous voltage
In order to pass the safety valve
through the kitchen cabinets, an opening of at least 45mm x 90mm is needed.
Water drain hose
Use the supplied hose clamp to connect
the water drain hose to the sink.
The highest point of the drain hose must be
no more than 60 cm from the floor and
must have a continuous fall to the plumbing
connection.
The drain hose can be lengthened using
additional lengths and connectors. These
must be purchased from Electrolux Spare
Parts. The extension length must not exceed 2 metres.
The drain hose must be free of kinks and
obstructions.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
If you connect the water drain hose to a
trap spigot under the sink, remove the plastic membrane. If you do not remove the
membrane, remaining food can cause a
blockage in the drain hose spigot
Page 20

The appliance has a security feature to
prevent dirty water going back into the
appliance. If, the spigot of the sink has
a 'non-return valve', this valve can
cause the appliance to drain incorrectly. Remove the non-return valve.
Caution! Make sure that the water
couplings are tight to prevent water
leakage.
Ensure that hoses are not crushed or
kinked under or behind the appliance.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Warning! Safety standards require the
appliance to be earthed.
Prior to using the appliance for the first
time, ensure that the rated voltage and
type of supply on the rating plate
match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed.
The fuse rating is also to be found on
the rating plate.
Always plug the mains plug onto a correctly installed approved socket.
Do not use multi-ways plugs, connectors and extension cables. This can
constitute a fire hazard through overheating.
Once connected the inlet hose to the
water tap, turn the tap on and check
that there are no leaks.
If necessary, have the domestic wiring
system socket replaced. If the mains
cable has to be replaced, contact your
local Customer Care centre.
The mains plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling
on the cable. Always pull the plug.
Test the appliance. Run a quick washing program and ensure that the appliance fills with water, washes and drains
with no leaks.
The manufacturer accepts no liability
for failure to observe the above safety
precautions.
ENVIRONMENT CONCERNS
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic
components are identified by markings, e.g.
>PE<, >PS<, etc. Discard the packaging
materials in the applicable container at the
community waste disposal facilities.
Warning! To discard the appliance,
follow the procedure:
• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Cut off the mains cable and mains
plug and discard them.
• Discard the door catch. This prevents children closing themselves inside the appliance and endangering
their lives.
