Important Safety Instructions
Please read all safety instructions before using your
new Electrolux dishwasher.
• Read all instructions before using your
dishwasher.
• Use your dishwasher only as instructed in
this Use and Care Manual.
• This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating and maintaining any appliance.
• National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified
residential dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments. Such
establishments require a higher dishwasher
water temperature to meet commercial
sanitization requirements.
• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED. Read the Installation
Instructions for details.
• This dishwasher is designed to operate on
regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a
circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or
circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if
dishwasher is connected with a food waste
disposer.
• Do not operate dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are in their proper place as
explained in the Installation Instructions
provided with your dishwasher.
• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation,
remove the door to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
• Keep young children and infants a safe
distance away from the dishwasher when it is
in operation.
• Use only detergents and rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or
dish rack of the dishwasher.
• Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents
out of the reach of children.
Safety
• Do not wash plastic items unless marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. Check
with manufacturer for recommendations, if not
marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe
may melt and create a potential fire hazard.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposal,
make sure disposal is completely empty
before running dishwasher.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher
before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified
Electrolux professional.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Use care unloading the dishware when the
SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents
may be hot to the touch immediately after the
end of cycle.
• When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items and knives so that
they are not likely to damage the tub or
door seal; and
• Load sharp items and knives with the
handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries. Alternatively, place sharp items
and knives in the utensil shelf located in
the upper rack.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may
be produced in a hot water system that has
not been used for 2 weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water
system has not been used for such a period,
before using dishwasher, turn on all hot water
faucets and let water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS
IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

Feature Overview
HOW YOUR DISHWASHER
CLEANS
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of
hot water and detergent through the spray arms
against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a
pre-drain.

Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the
filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter
and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as
the water is pumped out and replaced with clean
water. The number of water fills will vary with the
cycle being used.

NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS
Your dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for
the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select.
Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for
washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins,
you may–or may not–hear the drain motor. You may
also hear the splashing water as it enters the tub
and the spray arms as they rotate and circulate
water. The wash motor often pulsates throughout
the cycle, which varies water pressure and
optimizies performance.

Operating Instructions
WASH CYCLE SELECTIONS
Cycle times are approximate and vary by options
selected. Hot water is necessary to activate
dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils.
An automatic sensor checks the incoming water
temperature for the main wash of each cycle. When
HI-TEMP WASH is selected, the sensor checks for
an even higher temperature. Run hot water faucet
nearest dishwasher unitl water is hot before
starting.
CYCLE SELECTIONS
The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your
dishes in the Auto, Heavy, Normal and Eco cycles.
Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if
additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes
or if water fills can be deleted. Cycle time and
water usage will vary based on the amount of soil
on the dishes. Cycle time will also vary based on
the options selected and the incoming water
temperature.
Heavy
For pots, pans, casserole dishes and dinnerware
with dried-on or baked-on soils. Water usage is 9.8
gallons. Wash time is approximately 134 mins.
Auto
When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is
placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short
wash will automatically be performed. When a full
load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a
heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed.
The dishwasher's Smart Sensor technology will
determine the type of cycle required to clean the
dishes and will clean more efficiently every time.
Water usage ranges from 5.9 to 10.0 gallons. Wash
time ranges between 89 and 136 mins.
Normal
For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water
usage ranges from 4.6 to 8.6 gallons. Wash time
ranges between 87 and 113 mins.

7.2 gallons. Wash time is approximately 87 mins.
Rinse
For rinsing dishes that will be washed later. Water
usage is 2.8 gallons. Cycle time is approximately
20 minutes.
ENERGY OPTION SELECTIONS
Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food, grease and soil
from dishes more effectively and aids in drying.
HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles
except RINSE.
Sanitize
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the
SANITIZE option. When selected, the light
surrounding the pad will remain lit until the START/
CANCEL pad is pressed or the door is closed. This
option heats the water temperature in the final rinse
to 155°F (68°C) and maintains that temperature for 9
minutes. SANITIZE is available in Auto, Heavy,
Stemware and Normal cycles. Only these
sanitization cycles have been designed to meet
NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper
water temperature is reached. Washing action will
continue during the water heating delay. For best
results, the incoming water temperature should be
at least 120°F (49°C).
The light surrounding the pad will not illuminate at
the end of the cycle if the NSF requirements for
sanitization are not reached. The sanitization criteria
may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the
cycle, a power failure occurs, or if the incoming
water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a
second time. The light surrouding the pad will turn
off.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the Icon
wil ligh up and remain on until end of cycle.
To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the
pad a second time. The light surrounding the pad
will turn off.
OPERATION SELECTIONS
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to
automatically delay starting your dishwasher from
1 to 24 hours which varies by model.
Press the DELAY START pad until the desired
delay time shows in the STATUS window. A light
will come on indicating the delay start hours and
will remain on until cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the
cycle before the delay period is over, press the
START/CANCEL pad.
