Do not use detergent with
this program.

1) The appliance senses the type of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It automatically adjusts the

temperature and quantity of the water, the energy consumption and the program time.

2) This is the most silent washing program. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise.

Because of the low speed, the program time is long.

3) With this program you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.

18 Washing programs

4) This is the standard program for test institutes. With this program you have the most efficient use of water and

energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. Refer to the supplied leaflet for test information.

5) With this program you can wash a load with mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower basket and normal soil in

the upper basket. The water pressure in the lower basket is three times higher than in the upper basket. The
temperature of the water in the lower basket is 25% higher than in the upper basket.

WARNING!

Make sure that the mains plug is disconnected from the mains socket during installation.

Install the appliance under a kitchen counter.
If a repair is necessary, the appliance must be easily accessible for the engineer.
Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap and drain.
For the venting of the appliance only water hoses and mains cable openings are necessary.
The appliance has adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of its height.

Make sure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the mains cable are not bent or
squashed, when you insert the appliance.

2.

– To lift the front of the appliance, turn

the two front feet counterclockwise.

– To lift the rear of the appliance, turn

the middle screw counterclockwise.

Adjusting the level of the appliance

A correct adjustment of the level of the appliance allows the door to close and seal correct­ly. .
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet to level the appli­ance.
After the adjustment of the level of the appliance, assemble the adjustable plinth on the
appliance.

28 Installation

Installing the appliance under the kitchen counter or to adjacent units

WARNING!

To prevent injury or damage, make sure that the appliance is installed under and adjacent
safe structures.
Use the brackets to attach the appliance under the kitchen counter or to the adjacent units.

1. Install the brackets in the slots on the top
of the appliance.

2. Adjust the height and level of the appli­ance.

3. Use the screws (on the top or on the side)
to install the appliance in position. Make
sure that the screws are tight.

4. Make sure that the bottom of the adjusta­ble plinth is aligned with the ground.

Custom made kick-panel

For integrated appliances and full-stainless-steel door appliances.

We recommend that you make a custom made
kick-panel that aligns your kitchen cabinets.
A notched continuous panel is necessary to pre­vent door swing interference and to keep kick­panel alignment with adjacent units.

1. Cut a notch in the kick-panel sufficient to let
the door swing freely under the appliance (re­fer to the chart).

2. Make a check for interference. Open and close
the door slowly. If the door touches the kick­panel, trim to prevent interference.

3. Attach the kick-panel to adjacent cabinets so
that if service is necessary you can remove it.

Installation 29

30 Water connection

WATER CONNECTION

Water inlet hose

Connect the appliance to a cold water supply.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external BSP thread spout of 3/4”.
Once connected the inlet hose to the water tap, turn the tap on and check that there are
no leaks.

Inlet water supply

• Cold water pressure: 800 kPa max - 50 kPa min.

• Water flow rate 10 L / minute min.

• If cold water pressure is in excess of 800 kPa, a pressure reducing valve should be used.

Check for leaks.

CAUTION!

Always use new hoses when you connect the appliance to the water mains. Old hoses must
not be used. The water inlet hose must be examined at an interval of twelve months for
deterioration and replaced if necessary.

The water pressure must be in the limits, refer to 'Technical data'.
Make sure that the local water authority gives you the average mains pressure in your area.
Make sure that the water inlet hose is not bent or squashed.
Fit the hose nut correctly to prevent water leaks.

CAUTION!

Do not connect the appliance to new pipes or pipes that have been not used for a long
time. Let the water run for some minutes, then connect the inlet hose.

The water inlet hose is double-walled and has an inner mains cable and a safety valve. The
water inlet hose is under pressure only while the water is running. If there is a leak in the
water inlet hose, the safety valve interrupts the running water.
Be careful when you install the water inlet hose.

WARNING!

• The mains cable is in the double-walled inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose

or the safety valve in water.

• Do not attempt to shorten the inlet hose.

• If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, immediately turn off the power

and remove the mains plug from the mains socket.

• Only a qualified Service Engineer can replace the water inlet hose with safety valve.

WARNING!

Dangerous voltage

Water connection

31

In order to pass the safety valve through the kitchen cabinets, an opening of at least 45
mm x 90 mm is needed.

Water drain hose

Use the supplied hose clamp to connect the water drain hose to the sink.
The highest point of the drain hose must be no more than 600 mm from the floor and must
have a continuous fall to the plumbing connection.
The drain hose can be lengthened using additional lengths and connectors. These must be
purchased from Electrolux Spare Parts. The extension length must not exceed 2 metres.
The drain hose must be free of obstructions.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance drains the water to prevent that the water goes
back into the appliance.

32 Water connection

If you connect the water drain hose to a trap spi­got under the sink, remove the plastic membrane.
If you do not remove the membrane, remaining
food can cause a blockage in the drain hose spi­got.

The appliance has a security feature to prevent
dirty water going back into the appliance. If, the
spigot of the sink has a 'non-return valve', this
valve can cause the appliance to drain incorrectly.
Remove the non-return valve.

CAUTION!

Make sure that the water couplings are tight to prevent water leakage.
Ensure that hoses are not bent or squashed under
or behind the appliance.
Once connected the inlet hose to the water tap,
turn the tap on and check that there are no leaks.

Electrical connection

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING!

• The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the below safety precautions.

• Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

• 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 can be found on the rating plate and in 'Technical data'.

• Always plug the mains plug onto a correctly installed approved socket.

• Do not use multi-ways plugs, connectors and extension cables. This can constitute a fire

hazard through overheating.

• If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. If the mains cable has to

be replaced, contact your local Customer Care centre.

• The mains plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

• Test the appliance. Run a quick washing program and ensure that the appliance fills with

water, washes and drains with no leaks.
