As soon as you select a washing programme, the phase indicator lights for that programme will start flashing.
As the programme starts, the phase indicator lights turn off
except for the indicator light of the phase in progress which will
remain lit with a static light.
The salt and rinse aid indicator lights are never illuminated while a washing programme is running
even if filling with salt and/or rinse aid is necessary.
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 salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

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.

12 electrolux first use
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness dial and electronically, using some of the programme buttons on
the control panel
Setting manually
The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
1.Open the dishwasher door.
2.Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3.Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table).
4.Replace the lower basket.
Setting electronically
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1.Press the On/Off button. The dishwasher must be in setting mode.
2.Press simultaneously and keep pressed buttons 2 and 3, until the lights of buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.
3.Press button 1, the lights of buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the light of the button 1 goes on
flashing, at the same time the |
end |
|
of programme |
indicator |
light |
starts to flash. |
|
|
The current level is indicated by |
end |
|
the number of flashes of the |
||
of programme |
indicator |
light (see |
chart). |
|
|
Examples:
5 flashes, pause, 5 flashes, pause, etc... = level 5
6 flashes, pause, 6 flashes, pause, etc... = level 6
4.To change the level, press function button 1. Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level see the chart).
Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing function button 1 once, level 6 is selected.
if the current level is 10, by pressing function button 1 once, level 1 is selected.
5.To memorise the operation, switch
off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
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.
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
first use |

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.

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".
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.
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.
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.
