Safety

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 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:

• 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.

• 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.

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 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 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. Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature.

Heavy Wash

For pots, pans, casserole dishes 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

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 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. Water usage ranges from approximately 5.5 to 10.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 99 to 162 mins.

Normal Wash

For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately 4.4 to 9.5 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 91 to 144 mins.

My Favorite

This cycle allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. To program the Favorite Cycle: press and hold the Favorite key for 3 seconds. As the Favorite key starts to blink; select the cycles and options (Favorite key will remain blinking). Press start to save the Favorite cycles and options that you have chosen. The Favorite key remains solid which indicates the settings are saved. All the settings that were chosen are illuminated. Once programmed, simply press the Favorite key followed by Start/Cancel to have your programmed Favorite Cycle begin.

Eco Wash

For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately

5.7 to 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 78 to 80 mins.

Quick Wash

For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage is approximately 6.9

gallons. Wash time is approximately 45 mins.

Operating Instructions

Stemware

For lightly soiled China and Crystal. Water usage is approximately 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 85 to 92 mins.

Rinse

For rinsing dishes that will be washed later. Water usage is approximately 2.8 gallons. Cycle time is approximately 20 minutes.

ENERGY OPTION SELECTIONS

Hi-Temp Wash

When HI-TEMP option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C). HI-TEMP ON will be displayed.

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.

When HI-TEMP option is selected, the icon will light up and remain on until the door is closed.

Sanitize

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. SANITIZE ON will be displayed when selected, the light surrounding the icon will turn red until the START key is pressed or the door is closed. 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).

If the SANITIZE option is selected, SANITIZED will be displayed at the end of the cycle. 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). Sanitize will not display at the end of the cycle if the NSF requirements for sanitization are not reached.

OPERATION SELECTIONS

Child Lock Controls/ Air Dry

To prevent children from accidently changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the AIR DRY icon for 3 seconds. An indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate when the controls are locked and no new selections can be made until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the AIR DRY icon until the indicator light goes out. If child lock is activated th dishwasher will not work.

Delay Start

The Delay Start option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1 to 24 hours on EIDW6305 and 2-4-6 on EIDW6105 models.

Press the DELAY START key until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window on the EIDW6305. Press the DELAY START key until the desired delay time LED is lit on EIDW6105. Display will indicate the delay start time and will countdown until cycle starts.

To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the

START/CANCEL pad.
