If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: '3 in 1', '4 in 1', '5 in 1' etc. set the multitab function. (Refer to 'Multitab function').

Setting 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

then this can take longer. The operation of the appliance 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.

8 electrolux

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 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.

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 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.

electrolux 9

•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.

Loading 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 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.

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

10 electrolux

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.

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.

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.

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.

Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.

For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.

For glasses with long stems (according to the size and dimensions), set the glass holder to the left or right position.

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 basket

With upper basket

31 cm

raised

With upper basket

27 cm

lowered

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.

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.

Never lift or lower the basket on one side only

When the basket is in the higher position cups cannot be placed on the cup racks.

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

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

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.

12 electrolux

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

Fill with detergent

1. Open the lid.

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.

1

2

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 the multitab 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 indicator lights for salt and rinse aid are deactivated.

When using the multitab function, the cycle duration may change.
