First use

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.

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

If you want to use the multi benefit
tablets set the 'Tablet' function. (Re­fer to 'Tablet function').

Use of rinse aid

Warning! 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.

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 re-

lease 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 washing cycles, depending upon the
dosage setting.

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

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

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.

electrolux 7

Daily use

• Check if it’s necessary to refill with rinse
aid.

• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwash­er.

• Add required amount of detergent just pri­or to wash.

• Select a wash programme suitable for the
cutlery and dishes.

• Start the wash programme.

Helpful hints and tips

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.

– 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.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of­pearls 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.

• 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.

Load cutlery and dishes

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take sauce­pan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Service dishes and large lids should be ar­ranged around the edge of the basket, en­suring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The rows of prongs in the lower basket can
lie flat to allow you to load pots, pans and
bowls.

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.

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.
To make loading of the cutlery basket easier,
lower the cutlery basket handle.

For best results we recommend that you 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.

electrolux 9

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.

To reassemble, reverse the procedure.

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.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded
upwards.

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

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

10 electrolux

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.

Maximum height of the dishes in the lower

basket

With upper basket
raised

31 cm

With upper basket
lowered

27 cm

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.

Caution! Never lift or lower the basket
on one side only.

When the basket is in the higher posi­tion:

• do not load cups on the cup racks,

• make sure that the cup racks are lied
down and not folded upwards.

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.

electrolux 11

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 be used 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 from different manu­facturers 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.

Tablet function

This appliance is equipped with the 'Tablet
function that allows the use of the detergent
tablets.

This programme does not require the use
of detergent.

1) The 'Anti+bac' programme provides a sanitising final rinse.

2) During the 'Auto' washing programme the level of soiling on the dishes is determined by how cloudy

the water is. The programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary; this depends
upon whether the appliance is fully or partially loaded and if the dishes are lightly or heavily soiled. The
temperature of the water is automatically adjusted between 50° C and 65° C.

3) Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet

the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.

4) The 'ECO' programme is recommended to wash a full 12 place setting load of normally soiled dishes.

It saves energy and water. Because it runs at a lower temperature, it is not suitable for heavily soiled
wash loads. To save energy, dry performance is reduced so you have to open the door at the end of
the wash cycle or even towel dry some dishes.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned
from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the
washing result.

Warning! Before cleaning the filters
ensure that the machine is switched off.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.

2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a

coarse filter ( A ), a microfilter ( B ) and a
flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter.

3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anti-

clockwise and remove the filter system

4. Take hold of the coarse filter ( A ) by the

handle with the hole and remove from the
microfilter ( B ).

5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running

water.

6. Remove the flat filter from the base of the

washing compartment and clean both
faces thoroughly.

7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the
washing compartment and ensure that it
fits perfectly.

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.

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

NEVER try to remove the spray
arms.

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

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 you run the
wash programme for heavy soiled dishes us­ing detergent but without dishes.

Prolonged periods of non-operation

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

16 electrolux

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.

Frost precautions

Installation

Warning! ANY ELECTRICAL AND/OR
PLUMBING WORK REQUIRED TO
INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN AND/OR PLUMBER OR
COMPETENT PERSON.

Remove all packaging before positioning the
appliance.
If possible, position the appliance next to a
water tap and a drain.

During all operations that involve accessibility
to internal components the appliance must
be unplugged.
When inserting the appliance, ensure that the
water inlet hose, the drain hose and the
mains cable are not kinked or squashed.

20 electrolux

Building-in

This appliance must be fitted under a kitchen
counter or work surface.
The dimensions of the recess must be the
same as shown in the figure.

No further openings for the venting of the ap­pliance are required, but only to let the water
inlet hose, the drain hose and the mains ca­ble pass through.
The appliance is fitted with adjustable feet
(max. 60 mm) so the height of the recess can
vary between 820 mm and 880 mm from the
floor.
Leave a space of 2 mm between the top of
the appliance and the underside of the kitch­en counter.

Steam protection

Fit the steam protection onto the front part of
the work top using the screws provided.

Adjusting the height of the appliance

It is important that the appliance absolutely
stands level so that the door closes and seals
properly.
If the appliance is not perfectly level the door
will catch on the levelling spacers on the right
and left side of the cabinet.
Turn the adjustable feet to the left or the right
until the appliance stands level.

To adjust the height proceed as follows:

1. Remove the adjustable plinth.

2. Adjust the height of the 2 front feet.

3. Adjust the rear foot by turning the screw
in the middle of the front kick plate to the
left or to the right.

4. Replace the adjustable plinth.

Fix to the adjacent units

Warning! THE APPLIANCE MUST BE

SECURED UNDER THE WORK TOP OR
TO THE ADJACENT UNITS USING THE
SUPPLIED BRACKETS.
FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL CAUSE IN­JURY OR DAMAGE.

1. Locate the supplied angular brackets in
the slots on the top of the appliance.

2. Adjust the height of the appliance.

3. Secure the appliance in position (up­wards or sideways) by using the supplied
screws. Make sure the screws are tight­ened.

Caution! Do not secure the brackets
upwards if the top of the appliance is not
within 2 mm of the underside of the work
top.

Caution! Never drill holes through the
sides of the appliance. This will cause
damage to the hydraulic components.

electrolux 21

Adjustment of the plinth

Space at the bottom of the appliance can be
covered by lowering the plinth.

Water connection

Water inlet connection

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot
(max. 60°) or cold water. However a hot wa­ter supply is not always efficient with heavily
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing
programmes a lot. Therefore we recommend
connection to a cold water supply.
The water coupling nut fitted to the appliance
water inlet hose is designed to screw onto a
3/4" BSP thread spout.
The water pressure must be within the limits
given in the 'Technical data'. Your local Wa­ter Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
A water temperature tempering-valve must
be installed when the dishwasher is likely to
be connected to a solar hot water system,
drip heater, or any other supply where tem­peratures in excess of 60° are anticipated.
A pressure reducing valve must be fitted if the
hot water supply pressure exceeds 350 kPa
or the cold water supply pressure exceeds
800 kPa.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked,
crushed, or entangled when it is being con­nected.
The dishwasher features inlet 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 correct-

ly fitted to avoid water leaks.

Always use a new hose-set when con­necting the appliance to the water
mains. An old hose-set must not be
reused. The water inlet hose should be
inspected every 12 months for deterio­ration and replaced if necessary.

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.

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.

22 electrolux

• A water inlet hose with safety valve must
only be replaced by the Customer Care
Centre.

Warning! Dangerous voltage

Water drain connection

– Connect the water drain hose to the sink.

Secure it with the supplied hose clamp.

– Required height: 30 to 100 cm above bot-

tom of the dishwasher.

– If you use a drain hose extension the total

length must be no longer than 4 metres.
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. Ensure the drain
hose is not bent or squashed as this could
prevent or slow down the discharge of wa­ter.

When connecting the drain hose to an under
sink trap spigot, the entire plastic mem-
brane must be removed. Failure to remove
all the membrane will result in food particles
building up over time eventually blocking the
appliance drain hose spigot

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.

To avoid water leakage after installation
make sure that the water couplings are
tight.

Electrical connection

Warning! 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
electrical rating data 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 mains cable has to be re­placed, contact your Customer Care
Centre.
The plug must be accessible after
the appliance has been installed.

electrolux 23

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.

Environment concerns

Packaging material

The packaging materials are environmentally
friendly and can be recycled. The plastic
components are identified by markings, e.g.
>PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the
packaging materials in the appropriate con­tainer at the community waste disposal fa­cilities.

Warning! When a unit is no longer being
used:

• Pull the plug out of the socket.

• Cut off the cable and plug and dispose
of them.

• Dispose of the door catch. This pre­vents children from trapping them­selves inside and endangering their
lives.

Old appliance

This appliance must be handed over to the
applicable collection point for recycling.
Ensure that this product is disposed of cor­rectly. You will help prevent potential nega­tive consequences for the environment and
human health, which could otherwise be
caused by inappropriate waste handling of
this product.
For more detailed information about recy­cling of this product, please contact your lo­cal city office, your household waste disposal
service or the shop where you purchased the
product.
