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

•Pour 1 litre of water into 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 Multitab function. (See ''Multitab 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 two ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically.

	Water hardness			Adjusting the water hardness setting		Use of
°dH		°TH	mmol/l	manually	electronically	salt
51 - 70		91 - 125	9,1 - 12,5	2	level 10	yes

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 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.

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 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.

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).

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".

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.

–Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening

electrolux 9

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.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable:

•Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of- pearls 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.

are of limited suitability:

•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 ect. 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.
