The Thoughtful Design Innovator.

Do you remember the last time you opened a gift that made you say
“Oh! How did you know? That’s exactly what I wanted!” That’s the kind of
feeling that the designers at Electrolux seek to evoke in everyone who
chooses or uses one of our products. We devote time, knowledge, and a
great deal of thought to anticipating and creating the kind of appliances that
our customers really need and want.

This kind of thoughtful care means innovating with insight. Not design for
design’s sake, but design for the user’s sake. For us, thoughtful design means
making appliances easier to use and tasks more enjoyable to perform, freeing
our customers to experience that ultimate 21st century luxury, ease of mind.
Our aim is to make this ease of mind more available to more people in more
parts of their everyday lives, all over the world. So when we say we’re thinking
of you, you know we mean just that.

Electrolux.Thinking of you.

Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:

● Ensure that the electrical and

water connections comply with
installation instructions

● Remove all packaging from inside

the appliance

● Fill the rinse aid dispenser

First use

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).

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 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.

Top up the rinse aid when the
indicator (B) becomes clear.

first use 9

● 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.

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 may damage the
appliance.

10 daily use

Daily use

● Check if it’s necessary to refill with

rinse aid.

● Load cutlery and dishes into the

dishwasher.

● Fill with dishwasher detergent .

● Select a wash program suitable for

the cutlery and dishes.

● Start the wash program.

Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any
object that can absorb water must 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

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.

daily use 11

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.

12 daily use

For best results we recommend 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 or
removed.

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.

daily use 13

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for
plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner
plates of up to 24 cm in diameter),
salad bowls, cups and glasses.
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.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must
be loaded in the upper basket and
arranged so they do not move.

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

14 daily use

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. Only adjust the height when the upper
basket is empty.

Maximum height of the dishes in the lower basket

31 cm

With upper basket raised

27 cm

With upper basket lowered

When the upper basket is raised
you will not be able to use the cup
racks.

To move to the higher position
proceed as follows:

1. Move the front runner stops (A) of
the upper basket outwards and
slide the basket out.

2. Refit the basket in the higher
position and replace the stops (A)
in their original position.

20 cm

24 cm

upper basket

lower basket

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

daily use 15

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.

16 daily use

Use of Tablets

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

1. Check whether these detergents
are suitable for your water
hardness. Follow manufacturers’
instructions.

The refilling of the rinse aid dispenser
is no longer necessary.

2. Before starting the washing
program put the tablet in the
detergent dispenser.

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

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

2. Set the rinse aid dosage to
position 2.

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

1. Fill up the the rinse aid dispenser
again.

2. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

Select and start a washing
programme

1. Check that the baskets have been
loaded correctly and that the spray
arms are free to rotate

2. Check that the water tap is opened

3. Close the dishwasher’s door.

4. Press the POWER button: all the
programme lights will illuminate
(setting mode).

5. Press the PROGRAM button
repeatedly to select a washing
program (see "Washing
programmes" chart): the
corresponding light illuminates.

During the setting of the program the
START light flashes:

will remain on.

● The READY light illuminates.

1. Switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the POWER button.

2. Open the dishwasher door, leave it
ajar and wait a few minutes before
removing the dishes; in this way
they will be cooler and the drying
will be improved.

Unloading the dishwasher

● Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.

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.

The “NORMAL ECO” program 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 may have to open the
door at the end of the wash cycle or
even towel dry some dishes.

Cleaning the filters

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

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

/4a turn
anticlockwise and remove the filter
system.

Care and cleaning

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 may
result in damage to the appliance.

20 care and cleaning

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.

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.

NEVER try to remove the spray
arms.

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

External cleaning

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

(acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).

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 program for heavy
soiled dishes using detergent but
without dishes.

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.

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.
However, a hot water supply is not
always efficient with very 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
machine’s supply hose is designed to
screw onto a 3/4" BSP thread spout.

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.

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 water
temperature tempering valve should
be installed. A pressure reducing
valve must be fitted if the hot water
supply pressure exceeds 350 kPa or
the cold supply pressure exceeds 800
kPa.

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.

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.

28 installation

Always use a new hose-set when
connecting the appliance to the
water mains. An old hose-set must
not be reused. The 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.

Drain hose

- Connect drain hose to the sink.
Secure it with the supplied hose
clamp.

- Required height: 30 to 100 cm
above bottom of the dishwasher.

- If you use a drain hose extension
the total length should not be 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 hose is not bent or
squashed as this could prevent or
slow down the discharge of water.

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.

installation 29

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

plastic membrane 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 approved 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. If
the electrical supply cord has to be
replaced, contact your local
Customer Care 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.

Building-in

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

It is essential that the recess
dimensions indicated in the illustration
are followed.

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

The height of the recess where the
dishwasher is to be installed can vary
between 820 and 880 mm from the
floor since the dishwasher is fitted
with adjustable feet (max. 60 mm).

Leave a space of 2 mm between the
top of the dishwasher and the
underside of the kitchen counter.

Adjusting the height of the
dishwasher

To adjust the height proceed as
follows:

1. Remove the adjustable plinth.

2. Adjust the height of the two 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.

Good levelling is essential for correct
closure and sealing of the door. When
the appliance is correctly levelled, the
door will not catch on the levelling
spacers on either side of the cabinet.

If the door does not close properly,
loosen or tighten the adjustable feet
until the machine is perfectly level.

Adjusting the height of the plinth

It is important for the dishwasher to
be absolutely horizontal so that the
door seals properly.

The adjustable feet are to be turned
to the left or right until the dishwasher
is horizontal.

If there is a space at the bottom of the
machine,this can be covered by
lowering the plinth.

Fitting the steam protection

Fit the steam protection onto the front
part of the worktop, using the screws
provided.

Securing the dishwasher

1. Locate the angular brackets in the
slots on the top of the dishwasher.

2. Adjust the height of the dishwasher.

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

The dishwasher must be
secured to the underside of the
worktop or to adjacent units by
using the brackets supplied.
Neglect to do this can cause injury
or damage.
Under no circumstances may holes
be drilled through the sides of the
dishwasher since this could
damage the hydraulic components.

Do not secure the brackets
upwards if the top of the
dishwasher is not within 2mm of
the underside of the worktop.

Packaging material

The packaging materials include
recyclable items. 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.

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.
