Important Safety Instructions
Safety

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 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.
This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as
personal injury, burns, fire, and electrical shock.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury
when using your dishwasher, follow basic
precautions including the following:
• 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.
• 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.
NOTE
Save these important safety instructions for future
reference.

Feature Overview
HOW YOUR DISHWASHER CLEANS
Your dishwasher illustrated below, cleans by
spraying a mixture of hot, clean water, and
detergent against the soiled surfaces of your dishes
and tableware.
Upper Rack
Upper Spray Arm
Each cycle starts with a pre-drain. Next, the
dishwasher fills with water to a level even with the
heating element. This water is constantly pumped
through the rotating spray arm and sprayed on the
dishes. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced
with clean water during a cycle. The number of
water fills depends upon the cycle being used.
