first use electrolux 11

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.

first use electrolux 13

Filling with dishwasher salt

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.

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.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside 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.

Page 14

14 electrolux first use

Filling with rinse aid

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).

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

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.

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing 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.

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.

● 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.

Loading cutlery and dishes

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.

● Plastic items and pans with teflon

have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

Page 16

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.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The two rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

Page 18

18 electrolux daily use

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.

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.

For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

Page 19

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

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.

daily use electrolux 19

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

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

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.

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 take effect 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.

2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels:

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufactures 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.

Page 22

22 electrolux daily use

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...).

1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. Follow the manufacturers instructions.

The refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser are no longer necessary. In this case the rinse aid indicator light will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on (not all dishwasher models are foreseen with rinse aid indicator light).

2. Select the lowest setting for water hardness and rinse aid dosage.

3. Before the start of the washing programme put the combi detergent tablet in the detergent dispenser.

If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you:

1. Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.

2. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting and perform 1 normal washing programme without loading any dishes.

3. Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in your area.

4. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend that you:

1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.

2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.

Page 23

daily use electrolux 23

Select and start a washing programme

Select the washing programme and delay start with the door slightly opened. The start of the programme or the countdown of the delay start will occur only after the closure of the door. Until that moment it is possible to modify the set made.

1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms are free to rotate

2. Check that the water tap is opened

3. Press the On/Off button. The dishwasher must be in setting mode.

4. Press the button corresponding to the required programme (see "Washing programmes" chart). The indicator light corresponding to the selected programme will illuminate.

Close the dishwasher’s door, the programme starts automatically.

5. Once the delay start has elapsed the programme will start automatically.

The selection of the washing programme and delay start can also occur with the door closed. Keep in mind that in this way, once a washing programme button is pressed you have ONLY 3 seconds in which you can choose another programme or select a delay start, after which the selected programme will start automatically.

Cancelling the "delay start"

● To cancel a delay start in progress

you have to reset the dishwasher.

● Press simultaneously and keep

pressed the two programme buttons positioned over the writing Cancel, until all the programme button lights will illuminate.

Setting and starting the programme with "delay start"

1. After having selected the washing programme, press the delay start button until the indicator light corresponding to the chosen hours flashes (3h, 6h, 9h).

2. Close the dishwasher’s door, the countdown starts automatically.

3. The countdown will decrease with steps of 3 hours.

4. The opening of the door will not modify or interrupt the countdown.

● Cancelling a delay start involves

also the cancelling of the washing programme set. In this case you have to set the washing programme again.

Page 24

● Press simultaneously and keep

pressed the two programme buttons positioned over the writing Cancel, until all the programme button lights illuminate. The washing programme has been cancelled.

● If a new washing programme is to

be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.

End of the washing programme

● The dishwasher will automatically

stop.

● The end of programme indicator

light will illuminate.

● The indicator light of the

programme just ended will remain on.

1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.

2. Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

Unloading the dishwasher

● Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.

The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

● Empty the lower basket first and

then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

● Water may appear on the sides

and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.

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, and remove.

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.

7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing compartment and ensure that it fits perfectly under the two guides (C).

8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together.

3. Turn the handle about anticlockwise and remove.

/4a turn

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.

Page 27

Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results.

NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them 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....).

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 to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.

care and cleaning electrolux 27

Prolonged periods of nonoperation

If you are not using the machine for any 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.

Installation

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.

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 units cabinets, wall).

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.

A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas 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 specifications". 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 dishwasher features fill 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 models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).

If the machine 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 for 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 outlet hose 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 height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.

The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher

Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

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.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

installation electrolux 35

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.

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.

Electrical connection

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.

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.

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.

Building-in

building-in electrolux 37

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted either under a kitchen counter or a worksurface.

It is essential that the recess dimensions indicated in the illustration are followed.

No further openings for venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.

The height of the recess where the dishwasher is to be installed can vary between 820 and 880 mm from the floor since the dishwasher is fitted with adjustable feet (max. 60 mm).

Leave a space of 2 mm between the top of the dishwasher and the underside of the kitchen counter.

Adjusting the height of the dishwasher

To adjust the height proceed as follows:

1. Loosen or tighten the two front feet.

2. Loosen and remove the adjustable plinth.

3. Adjust the rear foot by turning the screw in the middle of the front kick plate to the left or to the right.

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet.

If the door does not close properly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

Adjusting the height of the plinth

It is important for the dishwasher to be absolutely horizontal so that the door seals properly.

The adjustable feet are to be turned to the left or right until the dishwasher is horizontal.

If there is a space at the bottom of the machine,this can be covered by lowering the plinth.

Fitting the vapour protection

Screw the vapour protecting strip onto the front part of the worktop using the supplied screws.

Fixing to the adjacent units

Secure the dishwasher by screwing it firmly in position under the bench or to the cupboard beside it. Use the angular brackets supplied which are fitted into the slots on the top of the dishwasher (see fig.).

Tighten the machine in position (upwards or sideways) by using the screws supplied (3.5 x 16 mm).

Tighten the screws so that the dishwasher cannot tip forward and cause damage when the door is open and loaded.

The dishwasher must be secured to the underside of the worktop or to adjacent units by using the brackets supplied. Neglect to do this can cause injury or damage. Under no circumstances may holes be drilled through the sides of the dishwasher since this could damage the hydraulic components.
