Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
serious injury when using your dishwasher, follow
basic precautions including the following:
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 or
circuit breaker 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 children away from the front of the
dishwasher so that they are not accidentally
hit by the door during loading and unloading
or if door should unexpectedly open. The
weight of the door can cause injury.
• 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.
• 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.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposal,
make sure disposal is completely empty
before running dishwasher.
This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as
personal injury, burns, fire, and electrical shock.
• 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 and unloading items:
• Locate sharp items and knives so that
they are not likely to damage the tub or
door seal.
• 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.
NOTE
Save these important safety instructions for future
reference.

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
optimizes 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 water temperature
for the main wash of each cycle. Run hot water
faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot.
CYCLE SELECTIONS
The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your
dishes in the Auto, 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.
Cookware
For pots, pans, casseroles and dinnerware with
dried-on or baked-on soils. Water usage is
approximately 9.5 gallons. Wash time ranges from
approximately 130 to 149 mins.
Auto Wash
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 approximately 5.5 to 10.7
gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 99 to
162 mins.
Normal Wash
For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water
usage ranges from approximately 4.2 to 9.3
gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 91 to
144 mins.
Eco Wash
For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and
silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately
5.6 to 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from
approximately 78 to 80 mins.
Stemware

DISH PREPARATION
Scrape away large pieces of food, bone, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The wash system will remove
remaining food particles. Gently scrape away
burned-on food with a non-scratch utensil or let
dish soak before washing (see Figure 1). Empty
liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods containing vegetable oil and/or chemical
additives such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice or tomato-based products may cause
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if
allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the
dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to
rinse off these food soils.
• Load racks so that large items do not
prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations
before washing items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposal,
be sure disposal is completely empty
before starting dishwasher.
• Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur
if placed in bottom rack unless Stemware
Cycle is selected.
• Damage may occur if delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation.
• Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in the top rack's versa tray.
• Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom
of the rack to block rotation of middle spray
arm.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
FILLING THE DETERGENT
DISPENSER
The detergent dispenser has one main wash and
one pre-wash cup. The covered cups open
automatically to release detergent.
• Use only automatic dishwashing detergent.
Other detergents will cause oversudsing.
• When using automatic dishwashing
detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash
cups and close.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location.
Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve
properly.
HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO
USE
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon (gpg). “Hard water” contains large
amounts, 9-12 grains per gallon (GPG), of minerals.
Harder water will require more detergent and may
also result in deposits on dishware and unit internal
surfaces.
Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning
and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much
detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film
called “etching.” (See Etching, page 19.)
Your local water company, water softener company
or county extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.

As shown in the last column of this table, a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and
dishwashing performance when using very hard water.
Other suggestions:
• Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle.
• As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent
to the bottom of the tub.
• Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
RINSE AID
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces
water spots and filming. It causes the water to
“sheet” off of dishes rather than form water
droplets that cling and leave spots.
The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the
detergent cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting
and poor drying are problems, increase the amount
of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a
higher number. The dial is located under the
dispenser cap.
If the rinse aid is low, LOW RINSE displays at the
beginning and end of the cycle, indicating tha it is
time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid:
1 Turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise
and lift out.
2 Pour in rinse aid until liquid reaches the flat
surface marked MAX in the Rinse Aid
dispenser. Do not overfill since this can
cause oversudsing.
3 Replace cap.
4 Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,
depending on setting.
Factors Affecting Performance
15
WATER TEMPERATURE
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering the dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory
results.
To check water temperature entering the
dishwasher:
1 Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher
for several minutes to clear cool water from
pipes.
2 Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream
of water to check the temperature.
3 If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a
qualified person raise the water heater
thermostat setting.
WATER PRESSURE
The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide
water pressure between 20 and 90 pounds per
square inch (psi).
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or
showers are in operation. Wait until water use is
reduced before starting dishwasher.
IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear
cool water from pipe.
16
Care & Cleaning
OUTSIDE
Occasionally wipe the outside surfaces of your
dishwasher with a mild nonabrasive detergent and
water. Rinse and dry.
Stainless Steel Door
Clean the stainless steel door and handle with hot,
soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean
water and a cloth. Do not use harsh scrubbing
cleaners. Use only kitchen cleaners made
especially for cleaning stainless steel.
INSIDE
IMPORTANT
Read before operating your dishwasher!
Care of Glass Trap Filter
Your dishwasher is equipped with a state of the art
wash system. Periodically, the Glass Trap Filter and
Large Food Particle Trap may need to be cleaned to
maximize wash performance.
The Glass Trap Filter is located in the center of the
Large Food Particle Trap. The Glass Trap Filter is
designed to collect pieces of broken glass, straws,
bones and pits. To remove items in the Glass Trap
Filter, grasp the handle, lift out, empty and replace.
Remove spots on the door, rack handle and tub
with a damp, nonabrasive cloth.

Care of Drain Air Gap
If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the
dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is
usually mounted on the sink at the countertop and
can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not
part of your dishwasher and is not covered by
warranty.
Freezing temperatures may cause water lines
to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and
circulating lines within dishwasher are
protected. Failure to do so could result in
property damage.
WINTERIZING
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be
protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do
the following:
To Disconnect Service:
1 Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at
the supply source by removing fuses or
tripping circuit breaker.
2 Shut off water supply.
3 Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect
water line from inlet valve and drain into pan.
4 Disconnect drain line and drain water into
pan.
To Restore Service:
1 Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical
power supply.
2 Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3 Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher
through a COOKWARE cycle.
NOTE
See Installation Instructions for more details.

Solutions to Common Problems
IMPORTANT
Before calling for service, review this list. It may
save you both time and expense. This list
includes common experiences that are not the
result of defective workmanship or material in
your dishwasher.
FOOD SOILS LEFT ON
DISHES
• Check incoming water temperature. (See
Getting Started, page 5.) It should be at least
120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting
Performance, page 15.)
• Choose another cycle for longer washing
time.
• Check rack loading section for proper
loading—avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low—
should be 20 to 90 pounds per square inch
(psi).
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard
water, it may be necessary to install a water
softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page
13.)
• Use fresh detergent.
• Make sure items are not blocking any of the
spray arms, preventing them from rotating.
DISHES NOT DRY
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Increase the amount of rinse aid (See Rinse
Aid, page 14).
• Check the incoming water temperature. Be
sure it is at least 120°F (49°C).
• Check for proper loading—avoid nesting
items.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
Less water evaporates from plastic items
when cycle is complete because they do not
retain as much heat as glass or metal items.
• Cups with a concave bottom will collect
water.
DISHWARE CHIPPED
• Load with care and do not overload. (See
Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.)
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not
over pins.
• Load items so they are secure and don’t jar
loose when moving racks in and out. Move
racks in and out slowly.
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will
clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.
• It is recommeded to wash fine antique china
and crystal by hand.
DISPLAY NOT IN OPERATING
MODE
• Hold down SANITIZE touchpad for 8 seconds
to reset unit to Normal Operating Mode.
Solutions to Common Problems
19
GLASSWARE / FLATWARE
SPOTTED OR CLOUDY
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard
water, it may be necessary to install a water
softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page
13.)
• Water temperature may be low. Avoid
extremely low or high temperatures. (See
Factors Affecting Performance, page 15.)
• Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See
Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.)
• Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is
ineffective.
• Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Check to see that proper amount of detergent
is being used for cycle selected. (See
Detergent Dispenser, pages 12-14.)
• Home water pressure may be too low—it
should be 20 to 90 pounds per square inch
(psi).
DISHWARE STAINED OR
DISCOLORED
• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the
stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2
cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of
warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or
brown film. A water filter installed in-line with
your water supply will correct this problem.
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black
marks when they rub against other items.
Load properly.
• Certain high acid foods can cause
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if
allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse
cycle or rinse by hand if not operating
dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in
silverware basket can cause pitting on the
stainless steel utensils. Avoid mixing
stainless steel and silver.
ETCHING
• Using too much detergent in soft or softened
water causes this film that cannot be
removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the
water hardness. (Check Detergent Usage
Guide, page 13.)

Solutions to Common Problems
DISHWASHER LEAKS
• Use only fresh detergent designed for
automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent
carefully. Try a different brand.
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level (See
Installation Instructions).
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU WILL
HEAR
• Normal sounds include water fill, water
circulation, water draining and motor sounds.
• Pump pulsing will cause motor speed to
increase and decrease at regular intervals
during cycles.
DISHWASHER WON’T RUN
• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if
a fuse is blown.
• Make sure water supply is turned on.
• Check to see if cycle is set correctly.
(See Operating Instructions, pages 5-8.)
• Check to see if the DELAY START option has
been selected.
• Make sure door is closed and latched.
• Check to see if dishwasher is in the Child
Lock cycle.
• Make sure Float is down and is not stuck up.
DISHWASHER DOES NOT
DRAIN PROPERLY
• If unit is hooked up to a garbage disposal,
make sure the disposer is empty.
WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF
THE TUB
• It is not normal for water to remain in the
bottom of the tub at the end of a cycle. If
water remains in the bottom of the tub at the
end of a cycle, the dishwasher may not be
draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not
Drain Properly). The filter may also need to
be cleaned. (See Care of Filter, page 16.)
Note: It is normal to see a small amount of
water under the filter at the end of a cycle.
DISHWASHER WON’T FILL
• Check to see if the water supply is turned on.
• Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the unit
and start again.
• If unit is hooked up to a new food waste
disposer, check to see if the “knockout” plug
located inside the disposal inlet has been
removed.
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
CYCLE TAKES A LONG TIME
• Check to see if cycle is in a water heating
delay.
• Check to see if the delay start option has
been selected.
• Check to see if the sanitize option has been
selected.
• Make sure Float is in and down.

DISHWASHER HAS AN ODOR
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can
create an odor. Use Rinse cycle.
• There will be a “new” smell when first
installed. This is normal.
• Run a Normal Cycle witht he sanitize option
selected.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly (See
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly, page
20).
REMOVING SPOTS AND
FILM
Hard water can cause lime deposit build-up on the
interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may
also get spots and film for a number of reasons
(See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy, page
19).
To remove build-up, spots and film, clean
using the following instructions:
1 Load clean dishes and glasses in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Press
START/CANCEL pad and close door.
4 Allow dishwasher to run until it begins the
second fill. Open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
5 Close and latch door and allow cycle to
finish.
NOTE
If these conditions persist, a home water
softener should be considered.
