Important Safety Instructions

For your Safety

• 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.

• NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY

GROUNDED. This appliance must be connected to a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-

grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on this appliance. Read the Installation Instructions

for details.

• This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular house current (120V, 60Hz). Use

a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse

if dishwasher is connected with a food

disposer.

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. First, the dishwasher drains for a few seconds to remove soils dropped while loading, then fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fills varies with the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions

Normal Operating Sounds

Yourdishwasher 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.

Energy Use

The yellow energy guide label that came on your unit tells how much energy it would use in one year and how it compares to others that are available. The energy is based on the Normal cycles response to tests that apply soils and dishware that simulate the average use. Eight place settings of

dishware and some serving pieces are used during the test. The total energy is based on running the average number of cycles per year, applying typical soil levels to the dishware and half the time,

selecting the option of using extra energy to more fully dry the dishware. Actual energy and water use

will depend upon the cycle and options you select.

0_o_ o o o • o o o

Electr01ux hitemp saititizeairdr__ maxdry delay START CANCEL

If the user prefers to save energy and dry the dishes by hand they select air dry instead of heated dry. Air dry is still an option. If you prefer to spend slightly more energy to get the dishes drier

than turn the air dry option off. In response the

wash and rinse temperatures in the cycle will be increased.

This will help the cleaning and it will also get the dishwasher hotter. When the final drain removes

all standing water, the extra heat stored in the dishware will act to evaporate the remaining water.

Your unit provides a selection of cycles. In general, the more water used by a cycle and the hotter the temperatures it reaches the more energy that it

uses. Several cycles, such as the Normal cycle will

change their response based on soil level, options

selected, and ambient conditions. The Normal

cycle is good for all around use. Other cycles are focused toward special use like the Heavy cycle that is designed for heavily solid cookware.

This unit uses an in-line water heating element

that is located under the tub. There is no exposed

heater that plasticware might come in contact with or that is accessible to touch. The heat is

taken to the dishware through the heated water.

For this reason, plastic dishware may be placed where it best fits in either the top or bottom rack. Temperatures are uniform throughout the

dishwasher.

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. When HI-TEMP

is selected, the sensor checks for an even higher temperature. Run hot water in a faucet nearest the dishwasher until water is hot before starting.

Cycle Selections

The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your

dishes in the Auto, Normal and Eco cycles. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the

amount of soil on the dishes.

Auto

The dishwasher's Smart Sensor technology will determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes are placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be performed. When a full

load of heavily solid dishes is placed in the unit, a

heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed. Water usage ranges from approximately 3.0 to 7.4 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 118

to 200 mins.

Heavy

For pots, pans, casserole dishes and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Water usage

ranges from approximately 7.1 to 8.1 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 129 to 189

mins.

Normal

Rinse _l_i

For rinsing dishes that will be washed later. Water usage is approximately 2.2 gallons. Cycle time is approximately 15 mins.

Fast @>

For regularly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage is approximately 4.5 gallons. Wash time is approximately 30 mins.

Energy Option Selections

Hi-Temp

When HI-TEMP 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 option can only be used with AUTO, HEAVY, and NORMAL cycles.

Sanitize

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the

SANITIZE option. This option heats the water temperature in the final rinse to 157°F (69.4°C) and maintains that temperature for 7 minutes.

SANITIZE is available in Auto, Heavy, 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).

For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately 3.0 to 7.4

gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 118 to 200 mins.

If the SANITIZE option is selected, the led above the pad comes on. The sanitization criteria may

not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, a power failure occurs, or if incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).

Sanitize led flashes at the end of the cycle if the

NSF requirements for sanitization are not reached.

Operating Instructions

Child Lock Controls/Air Dry

To prevent children from accidently changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing the AIR DRY pad until Lock LED is on. The controls are locked

and no new selections can be made until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the AIR

DRY pad until Lock LED turns off. If child lock is activated the dishwasher will not work.

Max Dry

MAX DRY is available on Auto, Heavy, and Normal,

cycles. The cycle time will increase when MAX

DRY option is selected.

Operation Selection

Delay

The Delay Start option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 2-4-6 hours.

Error indications

In the unlikely event the dishwasher malfunctions, the 3 Delay LEDs blink constantly. If the Hi- Temp LED blinks intermittently 1 time refer to "Dishwasher won't run or fill" and try to solve the problem. If the Hi-Temp LED blinks 2 times refer to "Dishwasher does not drain properly" and try to solve the problem. If, after the check, the problem remains, or if the LEDs are still blinking, contact

the Electrolux Customer Care Center at 1-877- 435-3287. They will be able to provide assistance

in troubleshooting the problem and/or locating an authorized service technician, if needed.

Blue light indicator

When the BLUE LIGHT illuminates on the floor this indicates that the wash cycle is complete.

Press DELAY pad until the LED of the desired DELAY start is reached. If the door is opened while

the DELAY time is counting down, the DELAY LED

will blink. To cancel the DELAY option and begin the cycle

before the delay period is over, press the CANCEL pad and then the START pad.

Start

To start a cycle, press the START pad once and close the door.

Cancel

To cancel a cycle at anytime, open the door and press the CANCEL pad until you hear a tone. When the door is opened, the last cycle selected will be displayed. If desired, a new cycle can now be selected by pressing CANCEL pad and upon closing the door the cycle will begin.

Preparing & Loading Dishes

Loading the Upper Rack

Racks and Features in your dishwasher model may vary in appearance from illustrations in this

manual. The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading

a wide variety of items including cups, glasses,

Dish Preparation

stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash fluid will remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.

Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and 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 pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle 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 Disposer, be

sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

Load glasses and plastic items in Upper rack only. Load items with open end facing down for better

cleaning and draining. Damage may occur if delicate items touch each

other during dishwasher operation. Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in

Upper rack. Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of

the rack to block rotation of middle spray arm.

and other items. To turn this feature on turn these clips to have them pointing upward (B). To turn off

just slide them back down toward the rack (A). See image below.

Fold-down Tines Upper Rack

The fold-down tines in the top and bottom racks

makes it easy to load those extra large and hard- to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal

use or folded down for more flexible loading.

Preparing & Loading Dishes

Cup Shelf/Stemware Holders

The Cupshelf holder can be folded down to be used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and

other short items or fold down both and use for long items such as utensils and spatulas. Fold up

to load tall glasses.

The Stemware holder is used to securely hold your wine glasses in place for the best wash. To properly secure you glass simply press the stem of the glass into the center of the Cupshelf the plastic pieces will secure around the stem to hold the glass in place.

Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.

Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.

8 place settings standard loading pattern

Loading the bottom Rack

Racks and Features in your dishwasher model may vary in appearance from illustrations in this

manual. The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls,

and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.

Preparing & Loading Dishes

Fold-down Tines Bottom Rack

The fold-down tines inthe top and bottom racks makes it easy to load those extra large and hard-

to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal

use or folded down for more flexible loading.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of the silverware.

Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.

Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.

Loading the Silverware Basket

Features and appearance of racks and silverware

basket may vary from your model. Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom

rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

In some models small items like baby bottle caps,

jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., Can be placed in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small

items in place.

When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested

items.

Adding a dish

To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash

action stops before opening. Add the item and close the door firmly to latch and

resume cycle.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

Filing the Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one covered cup. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent.

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause oversudsing.

• When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and

close.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent may 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. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause etching to some glassware which is surface damage that appears like a film but cannot be wiped off. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

Rinse Aid

Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, filming, and lubricates wash arm bearing for proper rotation. With it water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.

A 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. The indicator will be dark when full and

will show clear when it is time to refill.

To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level.

Close the cover.

Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes, depending on setting.

How to adjust the rinse aid dosage

The rinse aid dosage is indicated by the flashing of LEDs: HI-TEMP, SANITIZE, AIR DRY and MAX DRY. Press and hold the RINSE pad for 5 seconds untilone of the following combinations of LEDs are flashing:

Level 1: HI-TEMP LED flashes Level 2: HI-TEMP and SANITIZE LEDs flash

Level 3: HI-TEMP, SANITIZE and AIR DRY LEDs flash

Level 4: HI-TEMP, SANITIZE, AIR DRY and MAX DRY LEDs Flash

Pressing "DELAY" pad changes the Level. Once the Rinse-Aid Level reaches 4, the level will loop

back to level 1.

Factors Affecting Performance

Water Pressure

The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.

Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. If you experience poor

wash performance you may need to wait until water

use is reduced before starting dishwasher.

Rinse Aid Cover

Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the AIR DRY option saves pennies per cycle. You may choose to select the AIR DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and

drying results. Water entering dishwasher should

be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering dishwasher:

• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from

pipes.

• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water

stream to check the temperature.

• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

Outside - Occasionally wipe with a mild

nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

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 counter top and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty.

Clean the Cylinder Fine Filter

The Cylinder Fine Filter is designed to collect some big items such as broken glass, bones and pits. The Cylinder Fine Filter needs to be cleaned to maximize wash performance.

Remove the Cylinder Fine Filter as shown, rotate it counterclockwise, lift it out, empty and clean it by rinsing under running water and replace. Use a sponge or bottle brush may be necessary to

remove all food residue.

Care & Cleaning

Clean the Coarse Filter

Take out the Cylinder Fine Filter and remove the Coarse Filter from the dishwasher tub bottom.

Flush the Coarse Filter by holding it under running

water and replace.

Solutions to Common Problems

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 the inlet valve and drain into

pan.

4. Disconnect drain line from pump 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 detergent cup and run the dishwasher through a POWER PLUS/HEAVY WASH cycle.

4. Check connections to make sure they do not leak.

Before calling for service, review this list. If 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

• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.

• Choose the Hi-Temp Wash option.

• Check rack loading section for proper loading- avoid nesting items.

• Home water pressure may be too low-should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).

• Check incoming water temperature. It should be about 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting

Performance).

• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water

softener. (See Detergent Chart). Use Fresh Detergent. Make sure items are not blocking the spray

arms, preventing them from rotating.

Dishes not Dry

• Select heat dry option.

• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.

• Increase the discharge setting of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid).

• 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.

• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load them at the far left of the upper rack so they will be held in a tilted position.

Solutions to Common Problems

Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy

• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).

• Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance.

• Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).

• 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. Also, check phosphate level. (See Detergent Dispenser.)

Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).

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 Only cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at

once. Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in

silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless

steel and silver.

• Home water pressure may be too low - it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).

Dishware Chipped

• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).

• 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.

Water in Bottom of Tub

Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does not Drain Properly).

Cycle Takes a Long Time

• Is cycle in a water heating delay?

• Has the delay start option been selected?

• Has the sanitize option been selected?

Normal SoundsYou Will Hear

• Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor sounds.

Dishwasher Leaks

• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.

Etching

• Using too much detergent especially in soft or softened water causes damage that looks like

a film but cannot be removed.

• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).

• Lower the water temperature.

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 (1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

Solutions to Common Problems

Detergent Left in Dispenser Cup

• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh

detergent.

• Be sure the dish load doesn't block spray from entering the detergent cup.

• Check to see if cycle has been completed.

• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

Vapor at Vent

• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying part of cycle. This is normal.

• 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).

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).

• Is dishwasher set for Delay Start Option?

• Make sure door is closed and latched.

• Dishwasher Won't Fill

• Is water supply turned on?

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.

• Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer

inlet.

Dishwasher has an Odor

Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.

There will be a "new" smell when first installed. This is normal.

• Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly).

Stains on Tub Interior

Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining.

Removing Spots and Film

Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup 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 section). To remove buildup, and film, clean using the following instructions:

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 pad. Close and latch the door.

4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes).

5. Unlatch an and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.

6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.

• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.

• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
