First use

Set the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a
water softener designed to remove
minerals and salts from the water
supply, which would have a
detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these
minerals and salts, the harder your
water is.

Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales, German degrees
(°dH), French degrees (°TH) and
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).

The 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.

14 electrolux first use

Filling with dishwasher salt

Only use salt specifically designed for
use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the
water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting
one of the complete washing
programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or
salty water, which may have been
spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which
may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket and unscrew the cap of the
salt container by turning it
anticlockwise.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the
container (this is necessary only

before filling with salt for the
first time).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in
the salt until the container is full.

4. Replace the cap making sure that
there is no trace of salt on the
screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Replace the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.

Do not worry if water overflows from
the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.

first use electrolux 15

Filling with rinse aid

Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing,
and spot and streak free drying.

Rinse aid is automatically added
during the last rinse.

1. Open the container by pressing
the release button (A).

2. Add the rinse aid in the container.
The maximum level for filling is
indicated by "max".

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of
rinse aid, which is sufficient for
between 16 and 40 dishwashing
cycles, depending upon the dosage
setting.

According to the finish and drying
results obtained, adjust the dose of
rinse aid by means of the 6 position
selector (position 1 minimum dosage,
position 6 maximum dosage).

The dose is factory set in position 4.
Increase the dose if there are drops of

water or lime spots on the dishes after
washing.

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish
streaks on the dishes or a bluish film
on glassware or knife blades.

3. Ensure that the lid is closed after
every refill.

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the
next wash.

Only use branded rinse aid for
dishwashers.

Never fill the rinse aid dispenser
with any other substances (e.g.
dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid
detergent). This would damage the
appliance.

16 electrolux daily use

● Check if it’s necessary to refill with

dishwasher 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

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

● Before loading the dishes, you

should:

- Remove all left over food and
debris.

- Soften remnants of burnt food in
pans

● When loading the dishes and

cutlery, please note:

- Dishes and cutlery must not
impede the rotation 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.

Daily use

- Lay small objects in the cutlery
basket.

● Plastic items and pans with non

stick coatings have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will
not dry as well as porcelain and
steel items.

● Light items (plastic bowls etc.)

must be loaded in the upper
basket and arranged so they do
not move.

daily use electrolux 17

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable: - Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or

mother-of-pearls handles.

- Plastic items that are not heat resistant.

- Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.

- Bonded cutlery items or dishes.

- Pewter or copper items.

- Lead crystal glass.

- Steel items prone to rusting.

- Wooden platters.

- Items made from synthetics fibres.

are of limited suitability:

- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if
it is specially marked as being
dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.

- Glazed patterns may fade if machine
washed frequently.

- Silver and aluminium parts have a
tendency to discolour during washing:
Residues, 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.

Open the door and slide out the
baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take
saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls,
cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should
be arranged around the edge of the
basket, ensuring that the spray arms
can turn freely.

The rows of prongs on the lower
basket can be easily lowered to allow
you to load pots, pans and bowls.

daily use electrolux 19

To make loading of the cutlery basket
easier, lower the cutlery basket
handle (fig.2).

For best results we recommend you
to use the cutlery grids.

If the size and dimensions of the cutlery
do not allow the use of the grids, they
can be easily hidden (fig. 3).

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an
upright position are a potential
hazard.

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery
such as carving knives must be
positioned horizontally in the upper
basket.

Take care when loading or
unloading sharp items such as
knives.

Forks and spoons should be placed in
the removable cutlery basket with the
handles facing downwards and the
knives with their handles facing
upwards (fig.1).

If the handles protrude from the
bottom of the basket, obstructing the
lower spray arm, load the cutlery with
the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to
prevent them from sticking together.

The cutlery basket is in two parts
which can be separated to give
greater loading flexibility. To separate
the two parts, slide them horizontally
in opposite directions and pull them
apart (fig. 4).

To reassemble, reverse the
procedure.

The central rows of prongs can be
easily lowered to improve loading
flexibility.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for
saucers, salad bowls, cups, glasses,
pots and lids.

Arrange items on and underneath the
cup racks so that water can reach all
surfaces.

Glasses with long stems can be
placed upside down in the cup racks.

The cup racks can be adjusted in
three different positions to improve
loading flexibility.

Before closing the door, ensure that
the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.

To move to the higher position
proceed as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards
until the mechanism is engaged
and the basket is stable.

To lower the basket to the original
position proceed as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards
and then allow the mechanism to
drop back down slowly, keeping
hold of it.

Never lift or lower the basket on
one side only

With the upper basket raised we
recommend to adjust the cup racks
in the lowest position.

After loading your machine always
close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically
designed for use in dishwashers.

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

Using no more than the correct
amount of detergent contributes to
reducing pollution.

Fill with detergent

1. Open the lid.

2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1)
with detergent. The marking
indicates the dosing levels:

20 = approximately 20 g of
detergent

30 = approximately 30 g of
detergent

3. All programmes with prewash
need an additional detergent dose
(5/10 g) that must be placed in the
prewash detergent chamber (2).
This detergent will take effect
during the prewash phase.

When using detergent tablets;
place the tablet in compartment (1)

4. Close the lid and press until it
locks in place.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different
manufactures dissolve at different
rates. For this reason, some detergent
tablets do not attain their full cleaning
power during short washing
programmes. Therefore, please use
long washing programmes when
using detergent tablets, to ensure the
complete removal of detergent
residuals.

Washing programmes information

(1) During the "Auto" washing

programme the amount of soil on
the dishes is determined by how
cloudy the water is.
The programme duration, water and
energy consumption levels can vary;
this depends upon if the appliance is
fully or partially loaded and if the
dishes are lightly or heavily soiled.
The temperature of the water is
automatically adjusted between
50°C and 65°C.

care and cleaning electrolux 29

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and
cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters
will degrade the washing result.

Before cleaning the filters ensure
that the machine is switched off.

1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket.

2. The dishwasher filter system
comprises a coarse filter (A), a
microfilter (B) and a flat filter.
Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter.

3. Turn the handle about

1

/4a turn
anticlockwise and remove the filter
system.

4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A)
by the handle with the hole and
remove from the microfilter (B).

5. Clean all filters thoroughly under
running water.

6. Remove the flat filter 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 and
ensure that it fits perfectly.

8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the
microfilter (B) 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.

NEVER use the dishwasher without
filters.Incorrect repositioning and
fitting of the filters will produce poor
washing results and will result in
damage to the appliance.

Care and cleaning

30 electrolux care and cleaning

NEVER try to remove the spray
arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the
holes in the spray arms, remove them
with a cocktail stick.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a
location where the temperature is
below 0°C. If this is unavoidable,
empty the machine, close the
appliance door, disconnect the water
inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

If you have to move the machine

(moving house etc....):

1. Unplug it.

2. Turn the water tap off.

3. Remove the water inlet and
discharge hoses.

4. Pull the machine out together with
the hoses.

Avoid over tilting the machine during
transportation.

External cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the
machine and control panel with a
damp soft cloth. If necessary use only
neutral detergents. Never use
abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene

etc....).

Ensure that the seals around the
door, the detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are cleaned regularly with
a damp cloth.

We recommend every 3 months to
run the wash programme for heavy
soiled dishes using detergent but
without dishes.

Prolonged periods of non­operation

If you are not using the machine for
any prolonged period of time you are
advised to:

1. Unplug the appliance and then
turn off the water.

2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
formation of any unpleasant
smells.

3. Leave the inside of the machine
clean.

installation electrolux 37

Any electrical and/or plumbing
work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by
a qualified electrician and/or
plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before
positioning the machine.

If possible, position the machine next
to a water tap and a drain.

Fitting under a counter

(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop,

you can install it under a close fitting
sink unit or a pre-existing top,
providing the dimensions of the
recess correspond to those shown in
the picture.

Installation

Proceed as follows:

● Remove the machine’s worktop by

unscrewing the two rear retaining
screws, pull the worktop from the
back of the machine and slide out
the front slots, lifting the worktop.

Insert the machine after adjusting the
levelling with the adjustable feet.
When inserting the machine, ensure
that the water inlet and drain hoses
are not kinked or squashed.

During all operations that involve
accessibility to internal components
the dishwasher has to be unplugged.

Be sure that once the appliance has
been installed, it is easily accessible
for the service engineer in the event
that a repair is required.

If the dishwasher is later used as a
free-standing appliance, the original
worktop must be re-mounted.

The plinth on free-standing appliances
is not adjustable.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct
closure and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly
levelled, the door will not catch on
either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly,
loosen or tighten the adjustable feet
until the machine is perfectly level.

38 electrolux installation

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed with
either hot (max. 60°) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold
water supply.

A hot water supply is not always
efficient with very soiled crockery as it
shortens the washing programmes a
lot.

For making the connection itself, the
coupling nut fitted to the machine’s
supply hose is designed to screw onto
a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a
purpose made quick-coupling tap
such as the Press-block.

The water pressure must be within
the limits given in the "Technical
specifications". Your local Water
Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area.

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

The dishwasher features fill and drain
hoses which can be turned either to
the left or the right to suit the
installation by means of the locknut.

The locknut must be correctly fitted
to avoid water leaks.

(Attention! NOT all models of
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses
provided with locknut. In this case,
this kind of facility is not possible).

If the machine is connected to new
pipes or pipes which have not been
used for a long time, you should run
the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose.

DO NOT use connection hoses
which have previously been used
for an old appliance.

This appliance has been fitted with
safety features which will prevent the
water used in the appliance from
returning back into the drinking water
system. This appliance complies with
the applicable plumbing regulations.

installation electrolux 39

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.

Please take care when installing the
water inlet hose:

● 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 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 by the Service Force
Centre.

● Place the water inlet hose in such

a way that it is never higher than
the bottom edge of the safety
valve.

Warning!
Dangerous voltage

40 electrolux installation

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be
connected in the following ways:

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing
it to the underside of the work
surface. This will prevent waste
water from the sink running into
the machine.

2. To a stand pipe provided with vent­hole, minimum internal diameter 4
cm.

The waste connection must be at a
height of between 30 cm (minimum)
and 100 cm (maximum) from the
bottom of the dishwasher.

The drain hose can face either to the
right or left of the dishwasher

Ensure the hose is not bent or
squashed as this could prevent or
slow down the discharge of water.

The sink plug must not be in place
when the machine is draining as this
could cause the water to syphon back
into the machine.

If you use a drain hose extension it
must be no longer than 2 metres and
its internal diameter must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose
provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the
couplings used for connections to the
waste outlet must be no smaller than
the diameter of the hose provided.

Our appliances are supplied with a
security device to protect against the
return of dirty water back into the
machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no
return valve" incorporated this can
prevent the correct draining of your
dishwasher. We therefore advise you
to remove it.

When connecting the drain hose to an
under sink trap spigot, the entire

plastic membrane (A) must be
removed. Failure to remove all the

membrane will result in food particles
building up over time eventually
blocking the dishwasher drain hose
spigot

installation electrolux 41

Electrical connection

Safety standards require the
appliance to be earthed.

Prior to using the appliance for the
first time, ensure that the rated
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.

Always plug the mains plug into a
correctly installed shockproof
socket.

Multi-way plugs, connectors and
extension cables must not be used.
This could constitute a fire hazard
through overheating.

If necessary, have the domestic
wiring system socket replaced. In
case that the electrical cable has to
be replaced, contact your local
Service Force centre.

The plug must be accessible after
the appliance has been installed.

Never unplug the appliance by
pulling on the cable. Always pull
the plug.

The manufacturer accepts no
liability for failure to observe the
above safety precautions.

42 electrolux environment concerns

Packaging material

The packaging materials are
environmentally friendly and can be
recycled. The plastic components are
identified by markings, e.g. >PE<,
>PS<, etc. Please dispose of the
packaging materials in the appropriate
container at the community waste
disposal facilities.

When a unit is no longer being used:

- Pull the plug out of the socket.

- Cut off the cable and plug and
dispose of them.

- Dispose of the door catch. This
prevents children from trapping
themselves inside and

Guarantee/Customer Service

Belgium

DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE
TERMS.

Our appliances are produced with the
greatest of care. However, a defect
may still occur.

Our consumer services department
will repair this upon request, either
during or after the guarantee period.
The service life of the appliance will
not, however, be reduced as a result.

This declaration of guarantee terms is
based on European Union Directive
99/44/EC and the provisions of the
Civil Code. The statutory rights that
the consumer has under this
legislation are not affected by this
declaration of guarantee terms.

This declaration does not affect the
vendor's statutory warranty to the end
user. The appliance is guaranteed
within the context of and in adherence
with the following terms:

1. In accordance with provisions laid

down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we
will remedy free of charge any
defect that occurs within 24
months from the date the
appliance is delivered to the first
end user. These guarantee terms
do not apply in the event of use
for professional or equivalent
purposes.

2. Performing the guarantee means

that the appliance is returned to
the condition it was in before the
defect occurred. Defective parts
are replaced or repaired. Parts
replaced free of charge become
our property.

3. So as to avoid more severe
damage, the defect must be
brought to our attention
immediately.

4. Applying the guarantee is subject
to the consumer providing proof of
purchase showing the purchase
and/or delivery date.

5. The guarantee will not apply if
damage caused to delicate parts,
such as glass (vitreous ceramic),
synthetic materials and rubber, is
the result of inappropriate use.

6. The guarantee cannot be called
on for minor faults that do not
affect the value or the overall
reliability of the appliance.

7. The statutory warranty does not
apply when defects are caused
by:

– a chemical or electrochemical

reaction caused by water,

– abnormal environmental

conditions in general,
– unsuitable operating conditions,
– contact with harsh substances.

8. The guarantee does not apply to
defects due to transport which
have occurred outside of our
responsibility. Nor will the
guarantee cover those caused by
inadequate installation or

instructions or directions for use.

44 electrolux guarantee/customer service

9. Defects that result from repairs or

measures carried out by people
who are not qualified or expert or
defects that result from the
addition of non-original
accessories or spare parts are not
covered by the guarantee.

10. Appliances that are easy to
transport may be delivered or sent
to the consumer services
department. Home repairs are
only anticipated for bulky
appliances or built-in appliances.

11. If the appliances are built-in, built­under, fixed or suspended in such
a way that removing and replacing
them in the place where they are
fitted takes more than half an
hour, the costs that result
therefrom will be charged for.
Connected damage caused by
these removal and replacement
operations will be the
responsibility of the user.

12. If, during the guarantee period,
repairing the same defect
repeatedly is not conclusive, or if
the repair costs are considered
disproportionate, in agreement
with the consumer, the defective
appliance may be replaced with
another appliance of the same
value. In this event, we reserve
the right to ask for a financial
contribution calculated according
to the length of time it has been
used.

13. A repair under guarantee does not
mean that the normal guarantee
period will be extended nor that a
new guarantee period begins.

14. We give a twelve month
guarantee for repairs, limited to
the same defect.

15. Except in the event where liability
is legally imposed, this declaration
of guarantee terms excludes any
compensation for damage outside
the appliance for which the
consumer wishes to assert his
rights. In the event of legally
admitted liability, compensation
will not exceed the purchase price
paid for the appliance.

These guarantee terms are only valid
for appliances purchased and used in
Belgium. For exported appliances, the
user must first make sure that they
satisfy the technical conditions (e.g.:
voltage, frequency, installation
instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the
country concerned and that they can
withstand the local climatic and
environmental conditions. For
appliances purchased abroad, the
user must first ensure that they meet
the qualifications required in Belgium.
Non-essential or requested
adjustments are not covered by the
guarantee and are not possible in all
cases.
Our consumer services department is
always at your disposal, even after
the guarantee period has expired.
