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).
• 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. (Refer to 'Multitab function').
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.

salt
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.
8 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.
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).
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.
The display shows a message when the salt
container is empty.
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.
The refilling salt message can remain
visible for a few hours after the salt has
been replenished, assuming the appliance remains switched on. If you are using salt that takes longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The operation of the
appliance is not affected.
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.
electrolux 9
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.
The rinse aid container will require topping up
periodically.
The display shows a message when the rinse
aid container is empty.
This happens 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.
– 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.
10 electrolux
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.
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.
• 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.
The rows of prongs in the lower basket can
lie flat to allow you to load pots, pans and
bowls.
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.
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.
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.
12 electrolux
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded
upwards.
The central rows of prongs can be easily lowered to improve loading flexibility.
The central rows of prongs can be easily lowered to improve loading flexibility.
For glasses with long stems (according to the
size and dimensions), set the glass holder to
the left or right position.
Mini cutlery basket
The upper basket is supplied with a mini cutlery basket.
Caution! NEVER PUT KNIVES IN THE
MINI CUTLERY BASKET. THIS WILL
PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
APPLIANCE.
The mini cutlery basket must only be placed
in the front part of the upper basket, on the
left or on the right side.
The dimensions of the cutlery depend on the
position of the upper basket. Refer to the following table.
Cutlery dimensions for mini cutlery basket
Upper basket in higher
position
Upper basket in lower
position
maximum 15 cm
maximum 20 cm
Soft spikes
Soft spikes impede glassware to move during the washing cycle or when the upper
basket is moved.
electrolux 13
Refer to the figures for a correct positioning
of the soft spikes. For more loading flexibility,
they can be positioned on the left or righthand side of the basket.
Once positioned correctly, press them down
firmly and make sure they do not move.
Caution! BEFORE CLOSING THE
DOOR, MAKE SURE 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.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the
mechanism is engaged and the basket is
stable.
14 electrolux
To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
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.
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.

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)
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.
The multitab function stops automatically the
flow of rinse aid and salt. The salt and rinse
aid messages are deactivated.
The programme duration can increase if you
use the multitab function.
Activate or deactivate the multitab function before the start of a washing programme. You cannot activate or deactivate the multitab function when the programme operates.
electrolux 15
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.
If the drying results are not satisfactory
we suggest that you:
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with
rinse aid.
2. Activate the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Set the rinse aid dosage to position

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.

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.
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 unit 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
electrolux 23
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.
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.
