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.
• Toavoid 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 3
• 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
thee pp er 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 ISEXPLOSIVE. 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

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

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.

Preparing & Loading Dishes
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.
• Ifthe 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.
• Load items with open ends 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 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
RLUNG THE DETERGENT
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 automaticdishwashing
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 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 pergallon (gpg). "Hard water" contains large
amounts of harsh minerals in granulated form,
above 10-11 grains per gallon (gpg), which can
affect water quality.
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.

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.
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces
waterspots 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.
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.
If the rinse aid is low, LOW RINSE displays at the
beginning and end of the cycle on the EIDW6305
model. Ifthe rinse aid is low, the LOW RINSE LED
is illuminated at the beginning and end of the cycle
on the EIDW6105 model indicating that it is time to
refill.
