Hints and tips
Environmental information
Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read this instruction booklet carefully, including its hints
and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using
the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instructions and
make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life
can be properly informed on appliance use and safety.
Installation and servicing
● All installation work should be done by a qualified or
competent person. Any servicing must be carried by
a qualified and authorised engineer. Work performed
by persons with inadequate knowledge may adversely
affect the satisfactory functioning of the product and
may cause personal injury or damage. Before any work
is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated
from the electrical supply. To do this the power plug
must be removed from the wall socket.
● Water connection should be made via an easily
accessible tap.
● The power cable must be plugged into an earthed
socket, which must to be easily accessible. Permanent
installation must only be carried out by an authorised
electrician or competent person.
● If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cable or assembly available from the
manufacturer’s service agent.
● Make sure that the power cable is not nipped or other-
wise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed
or kinked when moving the dishwasher when installing
or cleaning etc.
● Servicing and repairs must be carried out by a service
company authorised by the manufacturer. Always
insist on genuine spare parts. Never try to repair the
dishwasher yourself.
Child Safety
● The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not
let children play with the controls or other parts of it.
● Do not allow children to play with the packaking. Risk
of suffocation.
● Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s reach.
● Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing
on the open door.
During Use
● This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-
hold utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for
other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage
to property and invalidate the guarantee.
● Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running,
since hot steam may escape.
● Only use detergent specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
● Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.
● 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 injuring themselves on the open door.
● If you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove
any remaining detergent.
● The water safety system protects against water damages.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
- The dishwasher must remain connected to the mains
supply when switched off.
- The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
- Always shut off the water supply whenever the dishwasher is left unattended for an extended period.
● In the event of flooding or leakage, switch off the water
supply immediately by closing the stopcock and disconnect the power supply by unplugging the power cable
or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical
plug, grip the plug, not the cable. Never touch the
switch or plug with wet hands!

Description of the appliance
Spray arm (1)
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear.
A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency.
If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut anticlockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm.
Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants.
Coarse strainer/microfilter (2)
The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects
such as a cocktail stick and pieces of eggshell. Make sure
that the strainer is always clean. Turn the coarse strainer
anti-clockwise. Lift it out and rinse it under running water
whenever necessary.
Fine filter (3)
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or
clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency.
The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when
you have removed the coarse strainer.
Detergent dispenser (4)
Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch
towards the compartment. Consult the instructions on the
detergent packet, fill the compartment accordingly and
close the lid. Remember that the instructions usually refer
to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent
tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Pre-wash
detergent is poured into the smaller compartment to the
left when needed. This detergent is used during the prerinsing. Make sure that nothing prevents the lid from
opening.
Only use detergents specially designed for
dishwashers.
Rinse aid dispenser (5)
Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of
the load, since it helps water and residues to run off.
Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little
may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 150 ml.
This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending
on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according
to the hardness of the water.
You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, the appliance is factory set to 1.
Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase
if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g.
the handle of a spoon.
The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the
dispenser requires refilling.
1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid
catch towards the compartment and lift the lid.
2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill.
3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive
foaming during the next wash programme.
4. Close the lid and press until it locks again.
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
detergent.
Electrolux recommends the use of Finish dishwasher detergent and Rinse Aid.
Water softener (6)
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
water. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to
occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher.
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special
container where the hardness is removed.
Since the water softener uses dishwasher salt, you will
have to refill the salt container after a certain number of
dishwasher cycles.
It is extremely important, that the salt
container is filled up with the dishwasher
salt before using the dishwasher for the
first time.
The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the
container requires refilling.
1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise.
2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first
time).
3. Fill the container with dishwasher salt, using the
funnel supplied.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage
around the filler opening.
5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place.
The water softener is now ready for the first load of dishes.
Always make sure that there is dishwasher salt in the
container, which holds about 1 litre.
How to adjust the water softener, see chapter ”Adjusting
the water softener”.
Only use special salt for dishwashing
machines, ordinary domestic salt, especially
table salt, can damage the water softener.

Adjusting the water softener
To prevent limescaling on the dishes and to the interior of the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water.
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tapwater which is harder than 4 °d (german degree) is softened.
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the
water hardness level for your area.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the
exact water hardness level for your area.
The water softener has 5 settings:
1) german degree of measurement for the water hardness
2) millimol, internationel unit for water hardness
*) factory setting
In the following settings the dishwasher must be switched off and all programmes completed.
See chapter ”Using the appliance” for information on how to complete the programme.
