The Thoughtful Design Innovator.
Do you remember the last time you opened a gift that made you say
“Oh! How did you know? That’s exactly what I wanted!” That’s the kind of
feeling that the designers at Electrolux seek to evoke in everyone who
chooses or uses one of our products. We devote time, knowledge, and a
great deal of thought to anticipating and creating the kind of appliances that
our customers really need and want.
This kind of thoughtful care means innovating with insight. Not design for
design’s sake, but design for the user’s sake. For us, thoughtful design means
making appliances easier to use and tasks more enjoyable to perform, freeing
our customers to experience that ultimate 21st century luxury, ease of mind.
Our aim is to make this ease of mind more available to more people in more
parts of their everyday lives, all over the world. So when we say we’re thinking
of you, you know we mean just that.
Electrolux. Thinking of you.

first use electrolux 10
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
● Fill the rinse aid dispenser
First use
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).
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 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 may damage the
appliance.

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.
