With this wash system, the motor speed
and spray pressure are varied during the
wash programme to improve the cleaning
of the dishes. It is for this reason that the
noise level changes during the wash pro­gramme.

1 Safety Instructions

The safety aspects of ELECTROLUX electrical appli­ances comply with accepted technical standards and
the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as
a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make
you aware of the following safety information:

Installation, Connection and Plac­ing into Operation

• The dishwasher may only be transported upright.

• Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do

not in any circumstances connect an appliance

that is damaged. In the case of damage, please

contact your supplier.

• Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure

that the nominal voltage and type of supply on the

rating plate match that of the supply where the

appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also

to be found on the rating plate.

• For information on how to correctly install and

connect up your dishwasher, please read the

“Installation“ section. Multiway plugs / connectors

and extension cables must not be used. This

could constitute a safety hazard.

Child Safety

• Children often do not recognise the hazards asso-

ciated with the use of electrical appliances. It is

therefore important that you ensure children are

adequately supervised and that you do not allow

children to play with the dishwasher – there is a

risk that children can shut themselves inside the

appliance (risk of suffocation!).

• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be

dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep

packaging away from children.

• Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth,

and throat, or even cause choking! Please

observe the manufacturer's safety instructions for

cleaners and detergents.

• The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for

drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in

the appliance, there is a risk of burns!

• When disposing of the dishwasher: unplug from

the mains, cut off and dispose of the mains cable.

Break the door lock so that the door no longer

shuts.

General Safety

• Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried

out by qualified service engineers. Improper

repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the

user. If your appliance needs repairing, please

contact customer service or your dealer.

• Never place the dishwasher in operation if the
mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged;
or the control panel, work top or plinth area is
damaged such that the inside of the appliance is
freely accessible.

• If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced
for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from
ELECTROLUX customer service) must be
changed by a service engineer authorised by
ELECTROLUX.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the
cable, always pull the plug.

• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are
not permitted for safety reasons.

• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always
closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In
this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the
open door and hurting themselves.

• Sharp knives and items of cutlery with sharp
edges must be placed in the cutlery tray or in the
upper rack.

Correct Use

• Only wash household dishes using the dish­washer. If the appliance is used for other pur­poses, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer
cannot accept any liability for any damage
caused.

• Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the
special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed
specifically permit the usage of their products in
household dishwashers.

• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There
is a risk of an explosion!

• The anti-flood system provides dependable pro­tection against damage due to leaks. For this sys­tem to function correctly, the following
preconditions must be met:
– The appliance must remain connected to the

mains even when it is switched off.
– The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
– Always shut off the water supply at the tap

when the dishwasher is not to be used for

longer periods, e.g. when you are away on hol-

iday.

• Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appli­ance may tip over.

• In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then
switch off the appliance and unplug it from the
mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the
mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.

6

Dishwasher door safety catch

The dishwasher has a door safety catch.
This safety catch prevents children opening the dish­washer door by mistake.

You can set the door safety catch as follows:

1. There is a catch on the left inside the door handle
(1). To ensure that the dishwasher door cannot be

opened unintentionally, push this catch across to
the right (eg. with the handle of a spoon).

2. To open the dishwasher door once the safety
catch has been set you must

– first move the door handle to the left (2) until

you feel slight resistance.

– then pull the door handle forwards.

3. To cancel the dishwasher door safety catch, push
the catch completely across to the left with your

finger.

7

2 Disposal

Disposing of the Packaging Material

Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material cor­rectly. All the packaging materials used are harmless
to the environment and can be recycled.

• Plastic parts are marked with standard interna­tional abbreviations:
– >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping

material

– >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding mate-

rial (always CFC-free)

– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic

clips

• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recy­cled paper and should be deposited in the waste
paper collection for recycling.

Disposal of old appliances

As and when you cease to use your dishwasher,
please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer
who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose
of it for you.

2 Economical and Ecological Dishwash-

ing

• Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water sup­ply if your hot water is not electrically heated.

• Ensure that the water softener is correctly
adjusted.

• Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.

• When you wash a small load, the load sensor cal­culates the amount of water necessary and short­ens the programme. It is more economical to
always wash with a full load.

• Select the wash programme to suit the nature and
degree of the soiling on the dishes.

• Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse
aid than is recommended in these operating
instructions and by the manufacturer of the
respective product.

• The dishwasher's interior lighting stays on while
the dishwasher door is open. To save energy you
should therefore always close the dishwasher
door after loading/unloading dishes.

Water softener

To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dish­washer, the dishes must be washed with soft water,
i.e. water with a low lime content. The dishwasher
therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap
water with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and
harder is softened with the aid of special salt.

3

Your water supplier will be able to inform you
about the hardness and hardness range of

the water in your area.
The water softener can be set manually using the
water hardness switch; it can also be set electroni­cally using the buttons on the control panel..

Setting the water softener

Adjusting the water softener to the setting given in the
table that corresponds to the hardness of the water in
your area:
The dishwasher must be switched off.

Setting manually:

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower rack from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the hardness range switch to 0 or 1 (see table).

4. Replace the lower rack.

Setting electronically:

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

The LED in the ON/OFF button will become illumi­nated.

3

If other indicators are also illuminated, this
means that a dishwashing cycle has been
activated. The dishwashing cycle must be
deselected (RESET):
Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultane­ously for approx. 2 seconds.
All other indicators will go out.

2. Press the function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously
and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators in function buttons 1 to 3 will
flash.

Special salt for the water softener

3

If the water hardness in your area is less
than 4 °d, then the water in your dishwasher
does not need to be softened and you do not
need to use special salt or salt substitute.

Water can be softened in one of two
ways:

• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already
contains salt substitute, the detergent only is put
into the detergent compartment.
– In this case the water softener must manually

be set to 0 and electronically to 1 to ensure
that no special salt is added.

• If you are using dishwasher detergent and special
salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the
salt supply container.
– In this case the water softener must manually

be set to 0 and electronically to between 2
and 10 (depending on the water hardness in

your area) to ensure that the special salt is
taken from the detergent container only.

1

Use only special salt intended for dishwash­ers. Never fill the salt supply container with
different types of salt (e.g. cooking salt) or
detergent. This would destroy the water sof­tener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each
time that you really do have a packet of spe­cial salt in your hand.

Setting the amount of special salt to be
added

3

Some appliances are equipped with an addi­tional 3in1 function.
If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and
select the 3in1 function together with the
dishwashing cycle, the inflow of special salt
does not have to be deactivated (see ”3in1
function”).

12

Set the water softener manually and electronically to
the desired water hardness:

3

If the water softener is electronically set at
“1” for the purpose of using detergent that
includes special salt, the special salt indica­tor is deactivated.

Adding special salt

If you are using dishwasher detergent and special
salt separately, add the special salt:

• Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

• When the

t indicator for special salt is illumi-

nated on the control panel.

1. Open the door, remove the lower rack.

2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anti-

clockwise.

3. Only when using for the first time:

fill the salt container with water.

4. Place the funnel supplied on the container open­ing.
Fill the container with special salt through the fun­nel; the capacity of the container is approx. 1.0-

1.5 kg depending on the grain size. Do not overfill
the salt container with special salt.

3

The water expelled by filling the salt con­tainer with special salt runs out of the salt
container onto the base of the washing com­partment. This is not a cause for concern,
the water will be pumped out at the start of
the next wash programme.

5. Clean any salt remnants on the container open­ing.

6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise spe­cial salt will leak into the wash water, this could
lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse
program after filling the salt container with special
salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt
crystals that have been spilt.

Depending on the size of the salt grains, it
can take several hours for the salt to dissolve
in the water and the special salt indicator

t to extinguish.

The setting of the water softener and thus
the consumption of salt are dependent on
the hardness of the local water.

RINSE AID

Rinse aid ensures that your dishes gleam and are
free from spots, and that your glasses are clear.

Rinse aid can be added in one of two
ways:

• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already
contains rinse aid, the detergent including the
rinse aid is put into the detergent compartment.
– In this case the dispensing of rinse aid from the

supply container must be deactivated to avoid
a double dosage.

• If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse
aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the
rinse aid supply container.
– In this case the dispensing of rinse aid from the

supply container must be activated.

– The amount of rinse aid to be dispensed must

be set.

1

Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers.
Never fill the rinse aid container with any
another substance (e.g. concentrated vine­gar) or dishwasher cleaning agent. This
would damage the appliance.

Activating/deactivating the inflow
of rinse aid

3

Some appliances are equipped with an addi­tional 3in1 function.
If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and
select the 3in1 function together with the
dishwashing cycle, the inflow of rinse aid
does not have to be deactivated (see ”3in1
function”).

1. Press the ON/OFF button.
The LED in the ON/OFF button will become illumi­nated.

3

If other indicators are also illuminated, this
means that a dishwashing cycle has been
activated. The dishwashing cycle must be
deselected (RESET):
Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultane-
ously for approx. 2 seconds.
All other indicators will go out.

2. Press the function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously
and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators in function buttons 1 to 3 will
flash.

3. Press function button 2.
The LED indicator for function button 2 will flash.
The multi-display will indicate the current setting:

4. Pressing function button 2 activates and deacti­vates the rinse aid dispensing function.

5. Once the multi-display is indicating the required
setting, press the ON/OFF button. The setting is
now saved.

Adding rinse aid

If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid
separately, add the rinse aid:

• Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time.

• When the

F indicator on the control panel is

illuminated.

The rinse aid compartment is on the inside of the
dishwasher door.

1. Open the door.

2. Press the rinse aid compartment release button

with your finger.

3. Fully open the rinse aid compartment lid.

4. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level marked

“max”; this corresponds to a quantity of approx.
140 ml.

5. Close the lid and press until it locks into place.

6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a cloth. Otherwise

too much foam will be formed during the wash.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dosing

3

As the dishes are washed rinse aid is
released from the dispenser into the wash
water. The dose is factory set at 4, and can
be adjusted from 1 to 6. Only change the set­ting if streaks, milky spots or dried on water
marks are visible on glasses or crockery.

1. Open the door of the dishwasher.

2. Press the rinse aid compartment release button

with your finger.

3. Fully open the rinse aid compartment lid.

4. Set the dose level.

5. Close the lid and press until it locks into place.

6. If rinse aid has run out, wipe up with a cloth.

In Daily Use

• Is it necessary to refill with special salt or rinse
aid?

• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher

• Fill with dishwasher detergent

• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery
and dishes

• Start the wash programme

Loading cutlery and dishes

1

Sponges, household cloths and any object
that can absorb water may not be washed in
the dishwasher

.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove large left-overs.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rota-

tion of the spray arms.

– Load hollow items such as cups, glasses,

pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that
water cannot collect in the container or a deep
base.

– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside

one another, or cover each other

– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not

touch

– Do not lay small objects (e.g. lids) in the cutlery

rack

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

– Cutlery with wooden, horn,

china or mother of pearl handles
– Plastic items that are not heat resistant
– Older cutlery with cement that is not tempera-

ture resistant
– Bonded cutlery items or dishes
– Pewter or copper items
– Lead crystal glass
– Steel items subject to rusting
– Wooden platters
– Items made from synthetic fibres

– Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is spe-

cifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the
manufacturer.

– Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed fre-

quently.

– Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to dis-

colour during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white,
egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and
staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs
from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed
straight after use.

– Some types of glass can become dull after a large

number of washes.

16

Loading Cutlery

1

If they are placed in the cutlery basket, long,
pointed items of cutlery are a hazard, par­ticularly to children (see Safety Instructions).
They must therefore be laid horizontally in
the upper basket.

To ensure that all cutlery is efficiently washed and
reached by the water you should:

1. position the two chopstick holders in the corners
of the cutlery basket,

2. place the latticed insert on the cutlery basket,

3. place short knives, forks and spoons with the han-

dle downwards and chopsticks into the latticed
insert of the cutlery basket.

3

Chopsticks may only be placed on the chop­stick holders in the cutlery basket as other­wise they would fall through the basket and
block the lower spray arm.

17

Loading Pans, Frying Pans and
Large Plates

Load large and heavily soiled dishes in the lower
rack.

Your dishwasher has one of the following two types of
lower rack:

Type 1: The rear plate insert in the lower
rack can be removed

3

To make it easier to load large dishes, it is
possible

- to remove the plate inserts from the lower
rack.

- to move the cutlery basket sideways.

Type 2: The rear plate insert in the lower
rack can be folded on its side

3

To ease the loading of large items,

- the two rows of prongs in the rear plate
insert can be folded across one another.

- the cutlery rack in the lower rack can be
moved to the side.

18

Loading Cups, Glasses and Coffee
Services

Arrange smaller, sensitive items in the lower rack and
place long, pointed items of cutlery in the knife
drawer.

• Arrange plates and dishes offset on and under the
folding cup racks so that washing water can reach
all items.

• The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for
tall items.

• Lay or hang wine, champagne, and brandy
glasses in the cut outs on the cup racks.

• Glasses, beakers, etc. can also be placed on the
two rows of prongs on the left of the upper rack.

19

Adjusting the Height of the Upper
Basket

3

The height of the basket can also be
adjusted when it is loaded.

Lowering the Upper Basket:

1. Pull the upper basket out completely.

2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, lift it as

far as it will go and then lower it vertically. The
upper basket will engage in the lower position.

Raising the Upper Basket:

1. Pull the upper basket out completely.

2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, lift it as

far as it will go and then lower it vertically. The
upper basket will engage in the higher position.

Filling with Detergent

1

Only use dishwasher detergent.

Fill with detergent:

Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the
pre wash programme). The detergent is released into
the wash water during the programme.

2

Please observe the manufacturer's dosing
and storage recommendations as stated on
the detergent packaging.

The detergent compartment is on the inside of the
dishwasher door.

1. If the lid is closed:
press release button (1).
The lid springs open.

2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The
markings indicate the dosing levels:
“20” corresponds to approx. 20 ml of detergent,
“30” corresponds to approx. 30 ml of detergent.

3. Close the lid and press until it locks into place.

3

If the dishes are very heavily soiled put addi­tional detergent into the adjacent chamber
(2). This detergent will take effect during the
pre wash.

21

Use of "3 in 1"/ Combi Detergent
Tabl ets

General Advice

These products are tablets with combined detergent/
rinse-aid and salt functions.

1. Before using these products you should first check
that the water hardness in your supply is compati­ble with the use of these products as per the
detergent manufacturers instructions (on the prod­uct packaging).

2. These products should be strictly used according
to the detergent manufacturers instructions.

1

Do not place the tablets in the tub or the
cutlery basket as this will result in poorer
wash results. The tablets should be pla­ced in the detergent doser.

3. If you encounter problems when using "3 in1"

products for the first time then please contact the
detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone
number is given on the product packaging).

Special Advice

When using combination products, the rinse-aid and
salt lights are no longer useful. It may be helpful
therefore to switch the rinse aid off - please note that
only some dishwashers have this facility - and select­ing the lowest possible setting for water hardness.

For more information please refer to your instruction
manual.

If you decide to switch to the use of a standard deter­gent system we advise that you:

• Refill both the salt and rinse aid compartments.

• Switch the waterhardness setting to the highest
possible position and run for three normal cycles
without a load.

• Readjust the waterhardness setting again accord­ing to the conditions for your region (as per the
instruction manual).

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher
detergents can be split into two basic types:

– conventional, alkaline detergents with caus-

tic components.

– low alkaline concentrated detergents with

natural enzymes.

2

The use of 50 °C wash programmes in con­junction with concentrated detergents
reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes; these wash programmes are spe­cially matched to the dirt-dissolving proper­ties of the enzymes in the concentrated
detergent. For this reason 50 °C wash pro­grammes in which concentrated detergents
are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C
programmes.

Detergent Tablets

3

Detergent tablets of different makes dis­solve at different speeds. For this reason
some detergent tablets cannot develop their
full cleaning power during short pro­grammes. Therefore please use wash pro­grammes with pre wash when using
detergent tablets.

Automatic Wash Programmes

During the AUTOMATIC programmes the amount of
soiling on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the
water is.
If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes
lightly soiled, the “pre wash”, “main wash” and “rins­ing” elements of the programme are shorter and the
water consumption level is lower.
If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily
soiled, the “pre wash”, “main wash” and “rinsing” ele­ments of the programme are longer and the water
consumption level is higher.
For this reason the programme duration, water and
energy consumption levels can vary within the stated
range for AUTOMATIC programmes (see Programme
Ta bl e ).
In this way, the dishes are always optimally washed
while water and electricity consumption are kept low.

During AUTOMATIC programmes the temperature of
the wash water is also automatically adjusted to
between 50 °C and 65 °C depending on the amount
of soiling on the dishes.

22

Selecting the Wash Programme (Programme Table)

Choose the most suitable wash programme with the aid of this table:

1)

The various stages in the wash programme have different sounds because the dishes are washed more
intensely for short periods during certain stages of the wash programme to improve cleaning.

2)

The consumption figures were determined under standard conditions. They are intended as a guide only and
depend on the loading. Variations can occur during normal usage.

Load Sensing

If a wash programme is started even though there are
only a few dishes in the upper and/or lower rack, an
intelligent electronic system adjusts the amount of
water and the duration of the wash programme to the
number of dishes. By this means it is possible to
wash only a few dishes quickly and economically. At
half load (6 place settings), up to 2 litres of water and

0.2 kWh of electricity are saved.

Switching Off the Dishwasher

Only switch the dishwasher off when the multi-display
indicates "0" remaining programme time.

1. Press the ON/OFF button

M. The ON/OFF but-

ton

M indicator extinguishes.

Emptying the Dishwasher

3

• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes
should therefore be allowed to cool down before
removing them from the appliance.

• Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx.
15 minutes after the end of the programme so that
they dry better and can cool down.

• First empty the lower rack, and then the upper
rack. By using this procedure you will avoid any
water that may be remaining in the upper rack,
dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and
leaving water marks.

26

Care and Cleaning

1

Do not under any circumstances use furni­ture care products or aggressive cleaners.

• If necessary, clean the controls only with a soft
cloth and pure warm water.

• Occasionally check the internal containers, door
seal, and water inlet for soiling, clean if necessary.

Cleaning the Filter

3

The filters in the base of the washing com­partment are to a large extent self-cleaning.
Nevertheless the filters should be checked
and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters
will degrade the washing result.

1. Open the door, remove the lower rack.

2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/

fine filter, microfilter and a flat filter. Unlock the fil­ter system using the handle on the microfilter, and
remove.

3. Turn the handle about ¼ a turn anticlockwise and
remove.

4. Take hold of the coarse/fine filter (1/2) by the han­dle with the hole and remove from the microfilter
(3).

5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.

6. Remove the flat filter (4) from the base of the

washing compartment and clean both faces thor­oughly.

7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing
compartment.

8. Place the coarse/fine filter in the microfilter and
press together.

9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by
turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During
this process ensure that the flat filter does not pro­trude .above the base of the washing compart­ment.

1

Under no circumstances may the dishwasher
be used without filters.

• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor
and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level.

• To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to
match the height of the appliance to that of sur­rounding units extend the threaded feet by
unscrewing :
– use a screwdriver.

• For built-in, integrated and fully integrated dish­washers, the rear feet should be adjusted from the
front of the appliance using a screwdriver.

• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must
not be kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is
in position.

• The dishwasher must also be screwed on tightly to
the work surface or to the adjoining units. This is
essential to ensure the diswasher does not tip.

Depending on type, the dishwasher is to be installed as follows:

Built-In Dishwasher

(see enclosed installation instructions)

Free-Standing Appliances

1

can be set up as stand-alone without addi­tional installation.
If the dishwasher is set up next to a cooker, a
heat-insulating, non-flammable plate must be
mounted between the dishwasher and the
cooker, flush to the top edge of the work sur­face (depth 57.5 cm). The plate should have
aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker.

If the dishwasher is installed underneath a kitchen
work surface, the original work surface of the dish­washer is to be removed as follows:

1. Unscrew the screws from the positioning plates on
the back (1).

2. Slide the appliance's work surface approx. 1 cm to
the rear (2).

3. Lift the work surface at the front (3) and remove.

1

If the dishwasher is later used as a free­standing appliance, the original work surface
must be re-mounted.

3

The plinth on free-standing appliances is not
adjustable.

Connecting the Dishwasher

Water Connection

The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that pre­vent the wash water returning into the drinking water
system and comply with the applicable plumbing reg­ulations.

• The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot
water supplies up to max. 60 °C.

• The dishwasher must not be connected to open
hot water appliances or instantaneous water heat­ers.

Permitted water pressure

Connect the inlet hose

1

The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed or entangled when it is being con­nected up.

Connect the threaded hose fitting
(ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet hose to a
tap with an external thread (¾ inch). Tighten
the threaded hose fitting hand tight only.

3

In order that access to the tap in the kitchen
is not limited by the use of the dishwasher,
we recommend the installation of an addi­tional tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the
existing tap.

• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that
supplied, VDE approved complete hose sets are
to be used. These are available from your local
Service Force Centre.

Lowest permitted water pressure:
1 bar (=10 N/cm

2

=100 kPa)

Consult your installer if the water pressure is less than 1 bar.

Highest permitted water pressure:
10 bar (=100 N/cm

2

=1 MPa)

In the case of a water pressure greater than 10 bar, a pressure reduc­tion valve must be used (available from your dealer).

36

3

The following section is only applicable to
dishwashers that have a safety valve on the
threaded hose fitting for the tap:

Water inlet hose with safety valve

After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose,
the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water
inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is
running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during
this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running
water and the draining pump in the dishwasher is
switched on.

1

Please take care when installing the water
inlet hose:

– The distance between the bottom edge of the

safety value and the floor on which the dish­washer is standing must be at least 30 cm:

– The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the

double-walled water inlet hose. Do not
immerse the water inlet hose or the safety
valve in water.

– If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is

damaged, remove the mains plug immediately.

– A water inlet hose with safety valve must only

be replaced by a specialist or Customer Serv­ices.

– Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it

is never higher than the bottom edge of the
safety valve.

37

Water drain

Drain hose

1

The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed
or entangled.

• Connecting the drain hose:
– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height 40 cm above the

lower edge of the machine.

Extension hoses

• Extension hoses are available from your dealer or
customer service. The internal diameter of the
extension hoses must be 19 mm to ensure that
the function of the appliance is not impeded.

• Extension hoses may be laid a maximum of 3
metres horizontally; the maximum permitted
height for the connection for the drain hose is then
85 cm.

Siphon connection

• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all com­monly available siphon types. The outer diameter
of the siphon connection must be at least 15 mm.

• The drain hose must be fixed to the siphon con­nection using the hose clamp supplied.

If the dishwasher is fitted at a high
position

If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the
drainhose connection is less than 30 cm from the bot­tom of the appliance, adapter kit ET 111099520 must
be fitted. This is available from Customer Service.

Water drain into wash basins (only possi­ble with free-standing appliances)

In the case that you wish to hang the drain hose in a
wash basin, use a detachable hose elbow. You can
obtain this from customer service under spare part
number ET 646 069 190.

1. Fit the elbow to the drain hose.

2. Secure the drain hose against sliding off the edge

of the wash basin.
Pass a piece of cord through the hose elbow and
fix it to the wall or the tap.

Leak Prevention System

For protection from damage due to water leaks, the
dishwasher is equipped with a leak prevention sys­tem.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water
inlet hose immediately interrupts the supply of water
to the appliance and the drain pump is activated.
The remaining water in the appliance is automatically
pumped out.

1

The leak prevention system also works when
the appliance is switched off.

38

Electrical connection

1

In compliance with electric company techni­cal requirements for mains connections,
hard-wired connections to the mains may
only be made by approved electri-cians.

When connecting the appliance, observe the German
VDE regulations and, if applicable, any additional
conditions required by your local electricity supplier.
Following installation, live parts and live insulated wir­ing must not be accessible using a finger test in
accordance with EN 60335/DIN VDE 0700.

Information on the electrical connection can be found
on the rating plate on the right side of the inner edge
of the dishwasher door. If the appliance has a
change-over switch, the additional instructions on the
change-over diagram in the mains connector box
must be observed.

Prior to connecting ensure that the mains voltage and
current rating at the site of installation match the
nominal voltage and current rating given on the rating
plate. The required fuse protection is also to be found
on the rating plate.

To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the
mains plug.
Important: The plug must still be accessible after the
appliance has been installed.
If the appliance is hard-wired to the mains supply,
then it must be safely iso-lated from the mains within
the electrical installa-tion with an all-pole (N,L1) iso­lator (eg. protective cut-out) with a contact gap of > 3
mm.

Connections

The water inlet and drain hoses, as well as the mains
cable must be connected beside the dishwasher
because there is no space for them behind the appli­ance.
The example plumbing and electrical installation
given below can only be regarded as a recommenda­tion; the actual situation where the dishwasher is to
be installed will define the exact installation (available
connections, local electricity and water board regula­tions for connecting up appliances, etc.).
