1 Safety Instructions

The safety aspects of ELECTROLUX electrical appli­ances comply with accepted technical standards and
the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as
a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make
you aware of the following safety information:

Installation, Connection and Plac­ing into Operation

• The dishwasher may only be transported upright.

• Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do

not in any circumstances connect an appliance

that is damaged. In the case of damage, please

contact your supplier.

• Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure

that the nominal 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.

• For information on how to correctly install and

connect up your dishwasher, please read the

“Installation“ section. Multiway plugs / connectors

and extension cables must not be used. This

could constitute a safety hazard.

Child Safety

• Children often do not recognise the hazards asso-

ciated with the use of electrical appliances. It is

therefore important that you ensure children are

adequately supervised and that you do not allow

children to play with the dishwasher – there is a

risk that children can shut themselves inside the

appliance (risk of suffocation!).

• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be

dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep

packaging away from children.

• Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth,

and throat, or even cause choking! Please

observe the manufacturer's safety instructions for

cleaners and detergents.

• The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for

drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in

the appliance, there is a risk of burns!

• When disposing of the dishwasher: unplug from

the mains, cut off and dispose of the mains cable.

Break the door lock so that the door no longer

shuts.

General Safety

• Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried

out by qualified service engineers. Improper

repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the

user. If your appliance needs repairing, please

contact customer service or your dealer.

• Never place the dishwasher in operation if the
mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged;
or the control panel, work top or plinth area is
damaged such that the inside of the appliance is
freely accessible.

• If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced
for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from
ELECTROLUX Service Force) must be changed
by a service engineer authorised by ELECTRO­LUX.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the
cable, always pull the plug.

• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are
not permitted for safety reasons.

• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always
closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In
this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the
open door and hurting themselves.

• Sharp knives and items of cutlery with sharp
edges must be placed in the cutlery tray or in the
upper basket.

Correct Use

• Only wash household dishes using the dish­washer. If the appliance is used for other pur­poses, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer
cannot accept any liability for any damage
caused.

• Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the
special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed
specifically permit the usage of their products in
household dishwashers.

• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There
is a risk of an explosion!

• The anti-flood system provides dependable pro­tection against damage due to leaks. For this sys­tem to function correctly, the following
preconditions must be met:
– The appliance must remain connected to the

mains even when it is switched off.
– The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
– Always shut off the water supply at the tap

when the dishwasher is not to be used for

longer periods, e.g. when you are away on hol-

iday.

• Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appli­ance may tip over.

• In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then
switch off the appliance and unplug it from the
mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the
mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.

Disposal

Packaging material

2

Old appliance

2

The packaging materials are environmentally
friendly and can be recycled. The plastic
components are identified by markings, e.g.
>PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the
packaging materials in the appropriate con­tainer at your local waste disposal facilities.

The symbol W on the product or on its

packaging indicates that this product may not
be treated as household waste. Instead it
shall be handed over to the applicable collec­tion point for the recycling of electrical and
electronic equipment. By ensuring this prod­uct is disposed of correctly, you will help pre­vent potential negative consequences for the
environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste
handling of this product. For more detailed
information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local city office, your
household waste disposal service or the
shop where you purchased the product.

1

Warning! When your appliance has finished
its working life, remove the plug from the
socket. Cut off the cable and plug and dis­pose of them.
Break the door lock so that the door no
longer shuts. This prevents children from
trapping themselves inside and endangering
their lives.

2 Economical and Ecological Dishwash-

ing

• Only connect the dishwasher to the cold water­supply.

• Ensure that the water softener is correctly
adjusted.

• Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.

• When you wash a small load, the load sensor cal­culates the amount of water necessary and short­ens the programme. It is more economical to
always wash with a full load.

• Select the wash programme to suit the nature and
degree of the soiling on the dishes.

• Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse
aid than is recommended in these operating
instructions and by the manufacturer of the
respective product.

Special salt and rinse aid must not be added
if you use 3-in-1 detergent tablets.

Water softener

To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dish­washer, the dishes must be washed with soft water,
i.e. water with a low lime content. The dishwasher
therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap
water with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and
harder is softened with the aid of special salt.

3

Your water supplier will be able to inform you
about the hardness and hardness range of
the water in your area.
The water softener can be set manually
using the water hardness switch; it can also
be set electronically using the buttons on the
control panel.

Special salt for the water softener

3

If the water hardness in your area is less
than 4 °d, then the water in your dishwasher
does not need to be softened and you do not
need to use special salt or salt substitute.

Water can be softened in one of two
ways:

• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already
contains salt substitute, the detergent only is put
into the detergent compartment.
– In this case the water softener must manually

be set to 0 and electronically to 1 to ensure
that no special salt is added.

• If you are using dishwasher detergent and special
salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the
salt container.
– In this case the water softener must manually

be set to 0 and electronically to between 2
and 10 (depending on the water hardness in

your area) to ensure that the special salt is dis­pensed from the salt container.

1

Only use special salt intended for dishwash­ers. Never fill the salt supply container with
different types of salt (e.g. cooking or table
salt) or detergent. This would irreparably
damage the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each
time that you really do have a packet of spe­cial salt in your hand.

Adding special salt

If you are using dishwasher detergent and special
salt separately, add the special salt:

• Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

• When the
nated on the control panel.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.

2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anti-

clockwise.

3. Only when using for the first time:

fill the salt container with water.

4. Place the funnel supplied on the container open­ing.
Fill the container with special salt through the fun­nel; the capacity of the container is approx. 1.0-

1.5 kg depending on the grain size. Do not overfill
the salt container with special salt.

3

5. Clean any salt remnants on the container open­ing.

6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise spe­cial salt will leak into the wash water, this could
lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse
programme after filling the salt container with spe­cial salt. This will wash away salt water and any
salt crystals that have been spilt.

3

t indicator for special salt is illumi-

The water expelled by filling the salt con­tainer with special salt runs out of the salt
container onto the base of the washing com­partment. This is not a cause for concern,
the water will be pumped out at the start of
the next wash programme.

Depending on the size of the salt grains, it
can take several hours for the salt to dissolve
in the water and the special salt indicator

t to extinguish.

The setting of the water softener and thus
the consumption of salt are dependent on
the hardness of the local water.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

– Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is spe-

cifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the
manufacturer.

– Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed fre-

quently.

– Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to dis-

colour during washing. Left-overs, 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.

– Some types of glass can become dull after a large

number of washes.

Filling with Detergent

1

Only use dishwasher detergent.

Fill with detergent:

Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the
pre wash programme). The detergent is released into
the wash water during the programme.

2

The detergent compartment is on the inside of the
dishwasher door.

1. If the lid is closed:

markings indicate the dosing levels:
“20” corresponds to approx. 20 ml of detergent,
“30” corresponds to approx. 30 ml of detergent.

If the dishes are very heavily soiled put addi­tional detergent into the adjacent chamber
(2). This detergent will take effect during the
pre wash.

Use of "3 in 1"/ Combi Detergent
Tabl ets

General Advice

These products are tablets with combined detergent/
rinse-aid and salt functions.

1. Before using these products you should first check
that the water hardness in your supply is compati­ble with the use of these products as per the
detergent manufacturers instructions (on the prod­uct packaging).

2. These products should be strictly used according
to the detergent manufacturers instructions.

1

3. If you encounter problems when using "3 in1"

Special Advice

When using combination products, the rinse-aid and
salt lights are no longer useful. It may be helpful
therefore to switch the rinse aid off - please note that
only some dishwashers have this facility - and select­ing the lowest possible setting for water hardness.

Do not place the tablets in the tub or the
cutlery basket as this will result in poorer
wash results. The tablets should be pla­ced in the detergent dispenser.

products for the first time then please contact the
detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone
number is given on the product packaging).

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher
detergents can be split into two basic types:

– conventional, alkaline detergents with caus-

tic components.

– low alkaline concentrated detergents with

natural enzymes.

2

The use of 50 °C wash programmes in con­junction with concentrated detergents
reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes; these wash programmes are spe­cially matched to the dirt-dissolving proper­ties of the enzymes in the concentrated
detergent. For this reason 50 °C wash pro­grammes in which concentrated detergents
are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C
programmes.

Detergent Tablets

3

Detergent tablets of different makes dis­solve at different speeds. For this reason
some detergent tablets cannot develop their
full cleaning power during short pro­grammes. Therefore please use wash pro­grammes with pre wash when using
detergent tablets.

For more information please refer to your instruction
manual.

If you decide to switch to the use of a standard deter­gent system we advise that you:

• Refill both the salt and rinse aid compartments.

• Switch the waterhardness setting to the highest
possible position and run for three normal cycles
without a load.

• Readjust the waterhardness setting again accord­ing to the conditions for your region (as per the
instruction manual).

Changing / interrupting / cancelling
a wash programme

3

Only change or interrupt a wash programme
that is in progress if it is absolutely neces­sary. After the appliance door has been
closed again, the air that has entered will be
heated significantly and expand. As a result,
water may collect in the base of the appli­ance and trigger the anti-flood system.

a selected wash programme, not cancel it.
The wash programme will recommence after
turning the dishwasher back on again.

Load Sensing

If a wash programme is started even though there are
only a few dishes in the upper and/or lower basket, an
intelligent electronic system adjusts the amount of
water and the duration of the wash programme to the
number of dishes. By this means it is possible to
wash only a few dishes quickly and economically. At
half load (6 place settings), up to 2 litres of water and

0.2 kWh of electricity are saved.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
INSTRUCTIONS

Installing the Dishwasher

• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor
and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level.

• To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to
match the height of the appliance to that of sur­rounding units extend the threaded feet by
unscrewing :
– use a screwdriver.

• For built-in, integrated and fully integrated dish­washers, the rear feet should be adjusted from the
front of the appliance using a screwdriver.

• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must
not be kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is
in position.

• The dishwasher must also be screwed on tightly to
the work surface or to the adjoining units. This is
essential to ensure the diswasher does not tip.

Depending on type, the dishwasher is to be installed as follows:

Dishwashers That Can Be Inte­grated

If the dishwasher is later used as a free­standing appliance, the original work surface
must be re-mounted.

The plinth on free-standing appliances is not
adjustable.

32

Connecting the Dishwasher

Water Connection

The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that pre­vent the wash water returning into the drinking water
system and comply with the applicable plumbing reg­ulations.

• The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot
water supplies up to max. 60 °C.

• The dishwasher must not be connected to open
hot water appliances or instantaneous water heat­ers.

Permitted water pressure

Lowest permitted water pressure:

2

1 bar (=10 N/cm

Highest permitted water pressure:
10 bar (=100 N/cm

=100 kPa)

2

=1 MPa)

Consult your installer if the water pressure is less than 1 bar.

In the case of a water pressure greater than 10 bar, a pressure reduc­tion valve must be used (available from your dealer).

Connect the inlet hose

1

Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000)
on the water inlet hose to a tap with an external
thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is equipped either
with a plastic or with a metal connection nut:

3

The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed or entangled when it is being con­nected up.

– Only tighten the nut hand tight.

Then do a visual check for water tightness.
(Make sure that the tap is not dripping.)

In order that access to the tap in the kitchen
is not limited by the use of the dishwasher,
we recommend the installation of an addi­tional tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the
existing tap.

• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that
supplied, VDE approved complete hose sets are
to be used. These are available from your local
Service Force Centre.

33

3

The following section is only applicable to
dishwashers that have a safety valve on the
threaded hose fitting for the tap:

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 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 and the draining pump in the dishwasher is
switched on.

1

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 the 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 a specialist or Customer Serv­ices.

34

Water drain

Drain hose

1

• Connecting the drain hose:

The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed
or entangled.

– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height 40 cm above the

lower edge of the machine.

Extension hoses

• Extension hoses are available from your dealer or
customer service. The internal diameter of the
extension hoses must be 19 mm to ensure that
the function of the appliance is not impeded.

• Extension hoses may be laid a maximum of 3
metres horizontally; the maximum permitted
height for the connection for the drain hose is then
85 cm.

Siphon connection

• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all com­monly available siphon types. The outer diameter
of the siphon connection must be at least 15 mm.

• The drain hose must be fixed to the siphon con­nection using the hose clamp supplied.

If the dishwasher is fitted at a high
position

If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the
drainhose connection is less than 30 cm from the bot­tom of the appliance, adapter kit ET 111099520 must
be fitted. This is available from Customer Service.

Water drain into wash basins (only possi­ble with free-standing appliances)

In the case that you wish to hang the drain hose in a
wash basin, use a detachable hose elbow. You can
obtain this from customer service under spare part
number ET 646 069 190.

1. Fit the elbow to the drain hose.

2. Secure the drain hose against sliding off the edge

of the wash basin.
Pass a piece of cord through the hose elbow and
fix it to the wall or the tap.

Leak Prevention System

For protection from damage due to water leaks, the
dishwasher is equipped with a leak prevention sys­tem.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water
inlet hose immediately interrupts the supply of water
to the appliance and the drain pump is activated.
The remaining water in the appliance is automatically
pumped out.

35

Electrical Connection

Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.

mains plug.
Important: The plug must still be accessible after the
appliance has been installed.

Changing a fuse

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In
the event of having to change the fuse in the plug
supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved (BS 1363A) fuse
must be used.

WARNING - This appliance must be
earthed.
The manufacturer declines any responsi­bility should these safety measures not
be observed.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason,
proceed as described below.

The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accord­ance with the following code.

Green and Yellow : Earth
