Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:
● Ensure that the electrical and
water connections comply with the
installation instructions
● Remove all packaging from inside
the appliance
● Set the water softener
● Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt
container and then fill with
dishwasher salt
● Fill the rinse aid dispenser
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
If you want to use combi detergent
tablets such as: ‘3 in 1’, ‘4 in 1’, ‘5
in 1’ etc... set the Multi-tab function
(see ‘Multi-tab function’).
Water hardness
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.

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 indicator light on the
control panel can remain
illuminated 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.
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in
the salt until the container is full.
14 electrolux first use
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".
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.
The dispenser holds about 110 ml of
rinse aid, which is sufficient for
between 16 and 40 dishwashing
cycles, depending upon the dosage
setting.
3. Ensure that the lid is closed after
every refill.
Top up the rinse aid when the
indicator (B) becomes clear.
