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, Clarke degrees,
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.
The water softener must be set in two
ways: manually, using the water
hardness dial and electronically, using
one of the «up and down» scrolling
buttons on the control panel
Setting manually
The dishwasher is factory set at
position 2.
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the
dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness dial to
position 1 or 2 (see table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
Setting electronically
The dishwasher is factory set at level

16 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).
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.
The salt container will require topping
up periodically. You are reminded of
this by a displayed message.
This occurs only at the start and at
the end of the washing programme;
during the running of the programme
the indication for salt refilling is not
active.
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in
the salt until the container is full.
The refilling salt message can
remain visible for 2-6 hours after
the salt has been replenished,
assuming the dishwasher remains
switched on. If you are using salts
that take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer. The function
of the machine is not affected.
