First use
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.

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.
The water softener must be set in
both ways: manually, using the water
hardness dial and electronically, using
some of the 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).

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.
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.
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
the salt until the container is full.
Do not worry if water overflows from
the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.
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.
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".
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.

● 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.
Daily use
- Lay small objects in the cutlery
basket.
● Plastic items and pans with non
stick coatings have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will
not dry as well as porcelain and
steel items.
● Light items (plastic bowls etc.)
must be loaded in the upper
basket and arranged so they do
not move.

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.
daily use electrolux 17
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.
18 electrolux daily use
To make loading of the cutlery basket
easier, lower the cutlery basket
handle (fig.2).
For best results we recommend you
to use the cutlery grid.
If the size and dimensions of the cutlery
do not allow the use of the grid, it can
be easily hidden (fig. 3).
fig. 2
fig. 3
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).
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.

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

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
Never lift or lower the basket on
one side only
When the upper basket is raised
you will not be able to use the cup
racks.
After loading your machine always
close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.
To move to the higher position
proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards
until the mechanism is engaged
and the basket is stable.
To lower the basket to the original

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

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.
NEVER use the dishwasher without
filters. Incorrect repositioning and
fitting of the filters will produce poor
washing results and may result in
damage to the appliance.
28 electrolux care and cleaning
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.
4. Pull the machine out together with
the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during
transportation.
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....).
Internal cleaning
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 the wash programme for heavy
soiled dishes using detergent but
without dishes.
Prolonged periods of nonoperation
If you are not using the machine for
any prolonged 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.

installation electrolux 35
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.
Installation
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.
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).
36 electrolux installation
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.
installation electrolux 37
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
38 electrolux installation
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.
When connecting the drain hose to an
under sink trap spigot, the entire
plastic membrane (A) must be
removed. Failure to remove all the
membrane will result in food particles
building up over time eventually
blocking the dishwasher drain hose
spigot
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.
installation electrolux 39
Electrical connection
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 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.
The manufacturer accepts no
liability for failure to observe the
above safety precautions.

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.
