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 Service Force) 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 basket.

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.

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 cold watersupply.

• 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.

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 degree) is softened with the aid of special salt.

Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener

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 panel is illuminated.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.

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

fill the salt container with water.

ing. 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.

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.

cial salt will leak into the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse programme 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

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

• Before loading the dishes, you should:

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

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

– 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

– Remove large left-overs. – Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.

– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rota-

tion of the spray arms.

– Load hollow items such as cups, glasses,

basket.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

– 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.

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.

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

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.

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 dispenser.

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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 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:

Dishwashers That Can Be Integrated

(see installation template supplied)

Width: 591 – 594 mm

Thickness: 16 – 24 mm

Height: (variable)

Weight: max. 8 kg

The door of the appliance can be fitted with a wooden furniture door with the following dimensions

dependent on - Recess height

- Plinth height

- The adjustment so that the unit matches the height of the adjoining units The exact height of the adjoining units must be measured at the place of installation.

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.

the rear (2).

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

The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

Page 29

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

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

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

=100 kPa)

=1 MPa)

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

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

Connect the inlet hose

• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that

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.

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.

supplied, VDE approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from your local Service Force Centre.

Page 30

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.

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.

Page 31

Water drain

Drain hose

• Connecting the drain hose:

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

– 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.

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

Page 32

Electrical Connection

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

Before switching on make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance 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.

Changing a fuse

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved (BS 1363A) fuse must be used.

WARNING - This appliance must be earthed. The manufacturer declines any responsibility should these safety measures not be observed.

Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below.

The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code.

Green and Yellow : Earth
