12 electrolux first use

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

● Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt

container and then fill with dishwasher salt

● Fill the rinse aid dispenser

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

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multi-tab function (see "Multi-tab function").

Water hardness

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.

14 electrolux first use

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.

first use electrolux 15

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.

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.

daily use electrolux 19

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 (fig.1).

fig. 1

To make easier the loading of the cutlery basket we advise you to lower the cutlery basket’s handle (fig.2).

fig. 2

For best results we recommend you to 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 (fig. 3).

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.

daily use electrolux 23

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:

Washing programmes information "Auto" washing programme

During the "Auto" washing programme the amount of soil on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is.

If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are shorter and the water consumption level is lower.

If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are longer and the water consumption level is higher.

For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary within the stated range for "Auto" programme.

During the "Auto" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.

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.

3. Turn the handle about

1

/4a turn

anticlockwise 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.

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

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.

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 spray arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, 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.

38 electrolux installation

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.

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

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 units 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 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.

installation electrolux 39

(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 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 a specialist or by the Service Force Centre.

● Place the water inlet hose in such

a way that it is never higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve.

Warning! Dangerous voltage

40 electrolux installation

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 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 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.

The total length of the drain hose, including any extension you might add, must be no longer than 4 metres. The internal diameter of the extension hose must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

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.

Environment concerns

Packaging material

The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate container at the community waste disposal facilities.

When a unit is no longer being used:

- Pull the plug out of the socket.

- Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.

- Dispose of the door catch. This prevents children from trapping themselves inside and endangering their lives.

DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS.

Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur.

Our consumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the guarantee period. The service life of the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a result.

This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this legislation are not affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.

This declaration does not affect the vendor's statutory warranty to the end user. The appliance is guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following terms:

1. In accordance with provisions laid

down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of charge any defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is delivered to the first end user. These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes.

2. Performing the guarantee means

that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become our property.

3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention immediately.

4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase showing the purchase and/or delivery date.

5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic), synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.

6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or the overall reliability of the appliance.

7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:

– a chemical or electrochemical

reaction caused by water,

– abnormal environmental

conditions in general, – unsuitable operating conditions, – contact with harsh substances.

8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred outside of our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate installation or assembly, lack of maintenance or failure to respect the assembly instructions or directions for use.

44 electrolux guarantee/customer service

9. Defects that result from repairs or

measures carried out by people who are not qualified or expert or defects that result from the addition of non-original accessories or spare parts are not covered by the guarantee.

10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer services department. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or built-in appliances.

11. If the appliances are built-in, builtunder, fixed or suspended in such a way that removing and replacing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half an hour, the costs that result therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage caused by these removal and replacement operations will be the responsibility of the user.

12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if the repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with the consumer, the defective appliance may be replaced with another appliance of the same value. In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated according to the length of time it has been used.

13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be extended nor that a new guarantee period begins.

14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.

15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms excludes any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the consumer wishes to assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, compensation will not exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance.

These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For exported appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the country concerned and that they can withstand the local climatic and environmental conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the user must first ensure that they meet the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments are not covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases. Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee period has expired.
