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 level

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 two
ways: manually, using the water hard­ness dial and electronically.

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 soft­ener. Only fill with salt just before starting on e
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.

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.

The salt container will require topping up pe­riodically.
You are reminded of this by a displayed mes­sage.
This occurs only at the start and at the end
of the washing programme; during the run­ning of the programme the indication for salt
refilling is not active.

visible for 2-6 hours after the salt has
been replenished, assuming the dish­washer remains switched on. If you are

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).

using salt that takes longer to dissolve
then this can take longer. The operation
of the machine is not affected.

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.

2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by
"max".

The rinse aid container will require topping up
periodically.
You are reminded of this by a displayed mes­sage.
This occurs only at the start and at the end
of the washing programme; during the run­ning of the programme the indication for rinse
aid refilling is not active.

Daily use

• Check if it’s necessary to refill with dish-

washer salt or rinse aid.

• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwash-

er.

• 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.

– 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.

The rows of prongs in the lower basket can
lie flat to allow you to load pots, pans and
bowls.

electrolux 11

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 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
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.

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.

12 electrolux

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.

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.

Before closing the door, ensured that
the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates you can load
them in the lower basket after moving the
upper basket to the higher position.

Maximum height of the dishes in the lower

27 cm

To move to the higher position proceed
as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the
mechanism is engaged and the basket is
stable.

electrolux 13

To lower the basket to the original posi­tion proceed as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then
allow the mechanism to drop back down
slowly, keeping hold of it.

Caution! Never lift or lower the basket
on one side only.

When the basket is in the higher posi­tion:

• do not load cups on the cup racks,

• make sure that the cup racks are lied
down and not folded upwards.

After loading your machine always
close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically de­signed for use in dishwashers.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dos­ing and storage recommendations as
stated on the detergent packaging.

Using no more than the correct amount
of detergent contributes to reducing pol­lution.

Fill with detergent

1. Open the lid.

14 electrolux

2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with de­tergent. The marking indicates the dosing
levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent.

3. All programmes with prewash need an
additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that
must be placed in the prewash detergent
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.

Multitab function

This appliance is equipped with the Multitab
function, that allows the use of combi deter­gent tablets.
These products are detergents with a com­bined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions.
They can also contain other different agents
depending on which kind of tablets you
choose ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc...).
Check whether these detergents are suitable
for your water hardness. See the manufac­turers instructions.
Once this function is selected it will remain
active for all following wash programmes.
With the selection of this function the inflow
of rinse aid and salt from each respective
supply container is automatically deactivated
and also the displayed messages for salt and
rinse aid are deactivated.
When using this function, the cycle durations
may change. If this is the case, the running
time for the programme is automatically up­dated in the display.

Once the programme is running, the set­ting can NO longer be changed. If you
want to cancel the Multitab function you
have to cancel the programme setting
and then deactivate the function. In this
case you have to set a washing pro­gramme again.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned
from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the
washing result.
A displayed message will periodically appear
to remind you to check and if necessary
clean the filters.

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
filter. Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter.

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.

3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anti­clockwise and remove the filter system

7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the
washing compartment and ensure that it
fits perfectly.

18 electrolux

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.

Prolonged periods of non-operation

If you are not using the machine for a pro­longed period of time you are advised to:

1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off
the water.

2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the forma­tion of any unpleasant smells.

3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location
where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is
unavoidable, empty the machine, close the
appliance door, disconnect the water inlet
pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

If you have to move the machine (moving
house etc...):

1. Unplug it.

2. Turn the water tap off.

3. Remove the water inlet and discharge
hoses.

4. Pull the machine out together with the
hoses.

Avoid over tilting the machine during trans­portation.

Installation

Warning! Any electrical and/or
plumbing work required to install
this appliance should be carried out
by a qualified electrician and/or
plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a
water tap and a drain.
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted un­der a kitchen counter or work surface.
Attention! Carefully follow the instructions
on the enclosed template for building in the
dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.
No further openings for the venting of the
dishwasher are required, but only to let the
water fill and drain hose and power supply
cable pass through.
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet
to allow the adjustment of the height.
During all operations that involve accessibility
to internal components the dishwasher has
to be unplugged.

electrolux 21

When inserting the machine, ensure that the
water inlet hose, the drain hose and the sup­ply cable are not kinked or squashed.

Fixing to the adjacent units

The dishwasher must be secured against tilt­ing.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is
fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed
structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets,
wall).

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.

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

22 electrolux

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
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
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.
The waste connection must be at a maxi­mum height of 60 cm from the bottom of the
dishwasher.

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.

electrolux 23

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.
The total length of the drain hose, including
any extension you might add, must be no
longer than 4 metres. The internal diameter
of the extension hose 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

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 into a
correctly installed shockproof sock­et.
Multi-way plugs, connectors and ex­tension cables must not be used.
This could constitute a fire hazard
through overheating.

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.

If necessary, have the domestic wir­ing system socket replaced. In case
that the electrical cable has to be
replaced, contact your local Service
Force centre.
The plug must be accessible after
the appliance has been installed.
Never unplug the appliance by pull­ing on the cable. Always pull the
plug.
The manufacturer accepts no liabil­ity for failure to observe the above
safety precautions.
