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 i n 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 t he 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 c able, 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.

5

Securing the door of the dishwasher

This way you can ensure that children cannot open
the door of the dishwasher:

1. There is a lever(1) on the left side of the door han­dle. You can secure the door against being

opened unintentionally by pressing this lever to
the back using a small screwdriver or the handle
of a spoon.

2. Once the lever has been pushed back, you must
first push the door handle to the left (2) and then
push it upwards (3) in order to open the door.

3. Yo u can remove the safety lock from the door
again by pulling the lever forwards again using a
small screwdriver or the handle of a spoon.

2 Disposal

Disposing of the Packaging Material

Dispose of t he 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 dish washer,
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.

6

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.

• 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.

Prior to using for the first time

Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips
with which the dish racks are secured for transport.
Then perform the following steps:

1. Adjust the water softener

2. Filling with Special Sa lt for the Water Softener

3. Filling with Rinse Aid

Adjusting the Water Softener

To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e.
low lime content water. For this reason the dish­washer is fitted with a water softener in which tap
water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degrees) is
softened with the aid of special salt.

3

Your local water authority can advise you on
the hardness of the water in your area.
The water softener has 4 settings.

Adjust the water softener in accordance with the table
to suit your area:

1. Open the door on the dishwasher.

2. Remove the lower rack from the dishwasher.

3. Adjust the water hardness switch with, e.g. a coin.

4. Replace the lower rack and close the door of the

dishwasher.

Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener

1

Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never
fill the salt container with any another type of
salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher deter­gent. This would irreparably damage 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.

Fill with special salt:

• Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time

• When the SALT indicator

t on the control

panel is illuminated.

3

If the water hardness in your area is less
than 4 °d, you do not need to use special
salt.

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.

3

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.

Filling with Rinse Aid

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

1

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

Fill with rinse aid:

• Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time

•

When the RINSE AID indicator H 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.

12

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 dis hwasher 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.

13

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.

Loading Pans, Frying Pans and
Large Plates

Load large and heavily soiled dishes in the lower
rack.

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.

14

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.

15

Adjusting the Height of the Upper
Basket

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.

• Empty the lower rack first, then the upper rack. In
this way you will avoid any water left on the upper
rack dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and
causing water spots.

1

Please note, that if your dishwasher is
installed under a kitchen worktop, escaping
steam may damage the worktop. Its under­side must be protectad against rising steam
with aluminium foil as prescribed.

20

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.

• The spray arms do not need cleaning.

• Occasionally check the internal containers, door

seal, and water inlet for soiling, clean if necessary.

Cleaning the Filter

3

Thefiltersinthebaseofthewashingcom­partment 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.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
INSTRUCTIONS

Installing the Dishwasher

• 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 dish-

washers, 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 screwedon 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:

Dishwashers That Can Be Inte­grated

If the facing panel is longer than 600 mm, the
door of the appliance cannot be opened
completely (the facing panel bumps against
the plinth).
If this is the case, the plinth must be cut out
(see installation template) or the brace
adapter for the extra long door BLT 60 must
be used. You can obtain this with the E No.
911 239 008.

28

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 (1) from the elbows on the
back side.

2. Slide the work surface approx. 1 cm to the rear(2),
lift at the front(3) and remove.

3. Press the work surface retaining brackets at the
position (4) shown in the diagram and remove the
bracket at an angle to the rear (5).

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 (DIN 259)
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).

30

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 30 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 per mitted
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 diame ter
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.

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 drain pump switches on. By
this means water can neither escape nor overflow.
The remaining water in the appliance is automatically
pumped out.

1

The leak prevention system also works when
the appliance is switched off – the appliance
must however not be disconnected from the
mains.

31

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. I f 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.

32

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.).
