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.
5
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.

Water softener
To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water,
i.e. water with a low lime content. The dishwasher
therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap
water with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and
harder is softened with the aid of special salt.
3
The water softener can be set manually using the
water hardness switch; it can also be set electronically using the buttons on the control panel.
Your water supplier will be able to inform you
about the hardness and hardness range of
the water in your area.

Special salt for the water softener
3
If the water hardness in your area is less
than 4 °d, then the water in your dishwasher
does not need to be softened and you do not
need to use special salt or salt substitute.
Water can be softened in one of two
ways:
• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already
contains salt substitute, the detergent only is put
into the detergent compartment.
– In this case the water softener must manually
be set to 0 and electronically to 1 to ensure
that no special salt is added.
• If you are using dishwasher detergent and special
salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the
salt container.
– In this case the water softener must manually
be set to 0 and electronically to between 2
and 10 (depending on the water hardness in
your area) to ensure that the special salt is dispensed from the salt container.
1
Only use special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply container with
different types of salt (e.g. cooking or table
salt) or 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.

Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3in1 function.

Adding special salt
If you are using dishwasher detergent and special
salt separately, add the special salt:
• Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
• When the
nated on the control panel.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anti-
clockwise.
3. Only when using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the container opening.
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.
3
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise special 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.
3
t indicator for special salt is illumi-
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.
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
t to extinguish.
The setting of the water softener and thus
the consumption of salt are dependent on
the hardness of the local water.
