First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

●Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

●Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

●Set the water softener

●Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt

●Fill the rinse aid dispenser

If you want to use combi detergent

tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multi-tab function (see "Multi-tab function").

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).

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 both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using some of the programme buttons on

the control panel

flashing,	at	the	same	time the	end
of programme				indicator	light
starts to	flash.

The current level is indicated by		end
the number of	flashes of the
of programme	indicator light (see

Filling with dishwasher salt

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 softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting 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 inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the

first time).

first use

electrolux

4.Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

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.

first use

Filling with rinse aid

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).

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 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.

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.

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.

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.
