1 Safety Instructions
The safety aspects of ELECTROLUX electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and
the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as
a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make
you aware of the following safety information:
Installation, Connection and Placing into Operation
• The dishwasher may only be transported upright.
• Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do
not in any circumstances connect an appliance
that is damaged. In the case of damage, please
contact your supplier.
• Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure
that the nominal 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.
• For information on how to correctly install and
connect up your dishwasher, please read the
“Installation“ section. Multiway plugs / connectors
and extension cables must not be used. This
could constitute a safety hazard.
Child Safety
• Children often do not recognise the hazards asso-
ciated with the use of electrical appliances. It is
therefore important that you ensure children are
adequately supervised and that you do not allow
children to play with the dishwasher – there is a
risk that children can shut themselves inside the
appliance (risk of suffocation!).
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be
dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep
packaging away from children.
• Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth,
and throat, or even cause choking! Please
observe the manufacturer's safety instructions for
cleaners and detergents.
• The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for
drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in
the appliance, there is a risk of burns!
• When disposing of the dishwasher: unplug from
the mains, cut off and dispose of the mains cable.
Break the door lock so that the door no longer
shuts.
General Safety
• Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried
out by qualified service engineers. Improper
repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the
user. If your appliance needs repairing, please
contact customer service or your dealer.
• Never place the dishwasher in operation if the
mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged;
or the control panel, work top or plinth area is
damaged such that the inside of the appliance is
freely accessible.
• If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced
for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from
ELECTROLUX customer service) must be
changed by a service engineer authorised by
ELECTROLUX.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the
cable, always pull the plug.
• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are
not permitted for safety reasons.
• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always
closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In
this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the
open door and hurting themselves.
• Sharp knives and items of cutlery with sharp
edges must be placed in the cutlery tray or in the
upper rack.
Correct Use
• Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer
cannot accept any liability for any damage
caused.
• Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the
special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed
specifically permit the usage of their products in
household dishwashers.
• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There
is a risk of an explosion!
• The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against damage due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following
preconditions must be met:
– The appliance must remain connected to the
mains even when it is switched off.
– The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
– Always shut off the water supply at the tap
when the dishwasher is not to be used for
longer periods, e.g. when you are away on hol-
iday.
• Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.
• In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then
switch off the appliance and unplug it from the
mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the
mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.
5
Dishwasher door safety catch
The dishwasher has a door safety catch.
This safety catch prevents children opening the dishwasher door by mistake.
You can set the door safety catch as follows:
1. There is a catch on the left inside the door handle
(1). To ensure that the dishwasher door cannot be
opened unintentionally, push this catch across to
the right (eg. with the handle of a spoon).
2. To open the dishwasher door once the safety
catch has been set you must
– first move the door handle to the left (2) until
you feel slight resistance.
– then pull the door handle forwards.
3. To cancel the dishwasher door safety catch, push
the catch completely across to the left with your
finger.
6
2 Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material
Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless
to the environment and can be recycled.
• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:
– >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping
material
– >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding mate-
rial (always CFC-free)
– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic
clips
• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste
paper collection for recycling.
Disposal of old appliances
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher,
please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer
who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose
of it for you.
2 Economical and Ecological Dishwash-
ing
• Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if your hot water is not electrically heated.
• Ensure that the water softener is correctly
adjusted.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.
• When you wash a small load, the load sensor calculates the amount of water necessary and shortens the programme. It is more economical to
always wash with a full load.
• Select the wash programme to suit the nature and
degree of the soiling on the dishes.
• Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse
aid than is recommended in these operating
instructions and by the manufacturer of the
respective product.
• The dishwasher's interior lighting stays on while
the dishwasher door is open. To save energy you
should therefore always close the dishwasher
door after loading/unloading dishes.

Adjusting the Water Softener
To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e.
low lime content water. For this reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap
water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is
softened with the aid of special salt.

Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
1
Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never
fill the salt container with any another type of
salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent. This would irreparably damage the
water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each
time that you really do have a packet of special salt in your hand.
Fill with special salt:
• Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
• When the SALT indicator
panel is illuminated.

fill the salt container with water.
ing.
Fill the container with special salt through the funnel; the capacity of the container is approx. 1.0-
1.5 kg depending on the grain size. Do not overfill
the salt container with special salt.
The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs out of the salt
container onto the base of the washing compartment. This is not a cause for concern,
the water will be pumped out at the start of
the next wash programme.
ing.
cial salt will leak into the wash water, this could
lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse
program after filling the salt container with special
salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt
crystals that have been spilt.
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it
can take several hours for the salt to dissolve
in the water and the special salt indicator
t on the control
t to extinguish.
The setting of the water softener and thus
the consumption of salt are dependent on
the hardness of the local water.

Filling with Rinse Aid
Rinse aid ensures that dishes emerge thoroughly
rinsed and spot free while glasses are clear and shining.
There are two ways to add rinse aid:
• If you use detergent that already contains rinse
aid, the detergent and rinse aid are placed in the
detergent container.
– In this case the rinse aid supply from the rinse
aid container must be switched off to avoid
double dosing.
• If you use separate detergent and rinse aid, the
rinse aid is placed in the rinse aid container.
– In this case the rinse aid supply from the rinse
aid container must be switched on.
– Rinse aid dosing levels need to be set.
1
Only use rinse aid specifically designed for
domestic dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid
container with any other substance (e.g., vinegar concentrate or dishwasher cleaning
agent) as this would damage the appliance.
Switching Rinse Aid Supply On and
Off
1. The appliance must be switched off.
2. Simultaneously press and hold down function but-
tons 1 and 2.
3. Press the ON/OFF switch.
The LED displays for the engaged function buttons will flash.
