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 level
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.
• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser
If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: ''3 in 1'', ''4 in 1'', ''5 in 1'' etc... set the Multitab function. (See ''Multitab function'').
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 water softener must be set in two ways: manually, using the water hard­ness dial and electronically.

salt
Use of dishwasher salt
Warning!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not spe­cifically designed for use in a dishwasher, es-
pecially 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
8 electrolux
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 into 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.
Use of rinse aid
Warning! 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.
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).
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.
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 salt that takes longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The oper­ation of the machine is not affected.
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 washing 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.
According to the finish and drying results ob­tained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means
electrolux 9
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.
Daily use
• Check if it’s necessary to refill with dish-
washer salt or rinse aid.
• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwash-
er.
• Fill with dishwasher detergent.
• Select a wash programme suitable for the
cutlery and dishes.
• Start the wash programme.
Helpful hints and tips
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
• 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.
– 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.
