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

First use

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 both 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.

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).

3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

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: REFILL SALT.

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.

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.

Page 15

first use electrolux 15

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".

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting.

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.

3. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

The rinse aid container will require topping up periodically.

You are reminded of this by a displayed message: REFILL RINSE AID.

This occurs only at the start and at the end of the washing programme; during the running of the programme the indication for rinse aid refilling is not active.

Page 16

16 electrolux first use

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers.

Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

● Check if it’s necessary to refill with

dishwasher salt or rinse aid

● Load cutlery and dishes into the

dishwasher.

● Fill with dishwasher detergent .

● Select a wash programme suitable

for the cutlery and dishes.

● Start the wash programme.

Loading cutlery and dishes

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

● Before loading the dishes, you

should:

- Remove all left over food and debris.

- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

● When loading the dishes and

cutlery, please note:

- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms .

- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

Daily use

- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

● Plastic items and pans with non

stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

● Light items (plastic bowls etc.)

must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

Page 18

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable: - Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or

mother-of-pearls handles.

- Plastic items that are not heat resistant.

- Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.

- Bonded cutlery items or dishes.

- Pewter or copper items.

- Lead crystal glass.

- Steel items prone to rusting.

- Wooden platters.

- Items made from synthetics fibres.

are of limited suitability:

- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.

- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.

- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing: Residues, 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.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The two rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

Page 20

20 electrolux daily use

To make loading of the cutlery basket easier, lower the cutlery basket handle (fig.2).

For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids.

If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do not allow the use of the grids, they can be easily hidden (fig. 3).

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards (fig.1).

If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart (fig. 4).

To reassemble, reverse the procedure.

Page 22

22 electrolux daily use

The central rows of prongs can be easily lowered to improve loading flexibility.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for saucers, salad bowls, cups, glasses, pots and lids.

Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.

The cup racks can be adjusted in three different positions to improve loading flexibility.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

For glasses with long stems (according to the size and dimensions), set the glass holder to the left or right position.

Page 23

daily use electrolux 23

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable.

To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it.

Never lift or lower the basket on one side only

With the upper basket raised we recommend to adjust the cup racks in the lowest position.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.

Fill with detergent

1. Open the lid.

2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels:

20 = approximately 20 g of detergent

30 = approximately 30 g of detergent

3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (2). This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase.

When using detergent tablets; place the tablet in compartment (1)

4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore, please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Page 25

daily use electrolux 25

If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you:

1. Deactivate the 3 in 1 function.

2. Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.

3. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting and perform 1 normal washing programme without loading any dishes.

4. Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in your area.

5. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

3 in 1 function

This appliance is equipped with the 3 in 1 function, that allows the use of the ‘3 in 1’ combi detergent tablets.

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions. They can also contain other different agents depending on which kind of tablets you choose (‘3 in 1’, ‘4 in 1’, ‘5 in 1’ etc...)

Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the manufacturers instructions.

Once this function is selected it will remain active also for the following washing programmes.

With the selection of this function the inflow of rinse aid and salt from each respective supply container is automatically deactivated and also the displayed messages for salt and rinse aid are deactivated.

Select the 3 in 1 function before the start of a washing programme.

With the use of the 3 in 1 function, the cycle durations may change. In this case, in the display, the indication of the time is automatically updated.

Once the programme is running, the 3 in 1 function can NO longer be changed. If you want to exclude the 3 in 1 function you have to cancel the programme setting and then deactivate the 3 in 1 function. In this case you have to set a washing programme (and desired options) again.

If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend that you:

1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.

2. Activate the rinse aid dispenser.

3. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.

● The activation/deactivation of the

rinse aid dispenser can only be possible with the 3 in 1 function active.

Page 27

daily use electrolux 27

End of the washing programme

● The dishwasher will automatically

stop and a vocal message informs you of the end of the washing programme.

The dishwasher’s drying system is provided with a device that allows air to circulate inside the dishwasher to prevent residual steam recondensing on the dishes as water droplets.

Unloading the dishwasher

● Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.

The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

● Empty the lower basket first and

then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

● Water may appear on the sides

and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together.

9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment.

Care and cleaning

NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and may result in damage to the appliance.

Page 31

care and cleaning electrolux 31

NEVER try to remove the spray arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

If you have to move the machine

(moving house etc....):

1. Unplug it.

2. Turn the water tap off.

3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.

4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.

Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

External cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene

etc....).

Internal cleaning

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.

We recommend every 3 months to run the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.

Prolonged periods of nonoperation

If you are not using the machine for any prolonged period of time you are advised to:

1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.

2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.

3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

38 electrolux installation

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

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or worksurface.

Attention! Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.

No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.

The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of the height.

During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.

When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.

Installation

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.

A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut.

The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

Fixing to the adjacent units

The dishwasher must be secured against tilting. Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets, wall).

Page 39

installation electrolux 39

This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system. This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.

(Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.

DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously been used for an old appliance.

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.

Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:

● 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 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 by the Service Force Centre.

● Place the water inlet hose in such

a way that it is never higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve.

Warning! Dangerous voltage

Page 40

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing

it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.

2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-

hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.

The waste connection must be at a maximum height of 60 cm from the bottom of the dishwasher.

The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher

Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to syphon back into the machine.

The total length of the drain hose, including any extension you might add, must be no longer than 4 metres. The internal diameter of the extension hose must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We therefore advise you to remove it.

When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire

plastic membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the

membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot

Electrical connection

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated 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.

Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket.

Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, contact your local Service Force centre.

The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.
