6.2 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals
from the water supply, which would have
a detrimental effect on the washing
results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in
your area. Your local water authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water
in your area. It is important to set the
right level of the water softener to assure
good washing results.

1. Make sure that the current level of
the water softener agrees with the
hardness of the water supply. If
not, adjust the level of the water
softener.
2. Fill the salt container.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4. Open the water tap.
5. Start a programme to remove any
processing residuals that can still be
inside the appliance. Do not use
detergent and do not load the
baskets.
After starting a programme, it may take
up to 5 minutes for the appliance to
recharge the resin in the water softener.
It seems that the appliance is not
working. The washing phase starts only
after this procedure is completed. The
procedure is repeated periodically.

10. HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 General
The following hints will ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and also help to protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.
When needed, use the prewash
programme (if available) or select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make
sure that the dishes can be
completely reached and washed by
the water released from the spray arm
nozzles. Make sure that items do not
touch or cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent,
rinse aid and salt separately or you
can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'',
''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the
instructions written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to
the type of load and degree of soil.
With the ECO programme you have
the most efficient use of water and
energy consumption for crockery and
cutlery with normal soil.
End of the programme
When the programme is completed the
display shows 0:00. The phase indicators
are off.
All buttons are inactive except for the
on/off button.
1. Press the on/off button or wait for the
Auto Off function to automatically
deactivate the appliance.
If you open the door before the
activation of Auto Off, the appliance
is automatically deactivated.
2. Close the water tap.
10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
for dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard
water we recommend to use plain
dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,
tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying
results.
• At least once a month run the
appliance with the use of appliance
cleaner which is particularly suitable
for this purpose.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
www.electrolux.com16
10.3 What to do if you want to
stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid do the
following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent
and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according
to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty
notification.
10.4 Loading the baskets
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items
made of wood, horn, aluminium,
pewter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that
can absorb water (sponges,
household cloths).
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Make soft the remaining burned food
on the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put cutlery and small items in the
cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not
move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.
10.5 Before starting a
programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the
type of load and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
10.6 Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before
you remove it from the appliance. Hot
items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower
basket, then from the upper basket.
At the end of the program
water can still remain on the
sides and on the door of the
appliance.
11. CARE AND CLEANING

programmes, these can leave
deposits of grease and limescale
inside the appliance. To prevent this,
we recommend to run long duration
programmes at least 2 times per
month.

appliance at its best, we recommend
to use monthly a specific cleaning
product for dishwashers. Follow
carefully the instructions on the
packaging of the product.
If the appliance does not start or it stops
during operation, first check if you can
solve the problem by yourself with the
help of the information in the table or
contact an Authorised Service Centre.
