First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first

time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water

connections comply with the installa-

tion instructions

• Remove all packaging from inside the

appliance

• Set the water softener level

• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt

container and then fill with dishwasher

salt

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser

If you want to use combi detergent

tablets such as: ''3 in 1'', ''4 in 1'', ''5

in 1'' etc... set the Multitab function.

(See ''Multitab function'').

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 ef-

fect 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, German degrees (dH°), French

degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per

litre - international unit for the hardness

of water).

The softener should be adjusted accord-

ing to the hardness of the water in your

area. Your local Water Authority can ad-

vise you on the hardness of the water in

your area.

The water softener must be set in

two ways: manually, using the water

hardness dial and electronically.

Setting manually

The dishwasher is factory set at po-

sition 2.

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the

dishwasher.

3. Turn the water hardness dial to po-

sition 1 or 2 (see chart).

4. Replace the lower basket.

Use of 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 com-

plete washing programmes. This will

prevent any grains of salt or salty water,

which may have been spilt, remaining on

14 electrolux use of dishwasher salt

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 anticlock-

wise.

2. Pour 1 litre of water into the container

(this is necessary only before fill-

ing 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.

This occurs only at the start and at the

end of the washing programme; during

the running of the programme the indi-

cation for salt refilling is not active.

The refilling salt message can re-

main visible for 2-6 hours after the

salt has been replenished, assuming

the dishwasher remains switched

on. If you are using salt that takes

longer to dissolve then this can take

longer. The operation of the ma-

chine is not affected.

Use of rinse aid

Only use branded rinse aid for dish-

washers.

Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with

any other substances (e.g.

dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid

detergent). This would damage the

appliance.

use of rinse aid electrolux 15

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 indi-

cated by "max".

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of

rinse aid, which is sufficient for be-

tween 16 and 40 washing cycles,

depending upon the dosage setting.

3. Ensure that the lid is closed after ev-

ery 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 (posi-

tion 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maxi-

mum 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 rinse aid container will require top-

ping up periodically.

16 electrolux use of rinse aid

You are reminded of this by a displayed

message.

This occurs only at the start and at the

end of the washing programme; during

the running of the programme the indi-

cation for rinse aid refilling is not active.

Daily use

• 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.

Helpful hints and tips

Sponges, household cloths and any ob-

ject that can absorb water may not be

washed in the dishwasher.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:

– Remove all left over food and deb-

ris.

– 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 bas-

ket.

• 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 ar-

ranged so they do not move.

daily use electrolux 17

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or

mother-of-pearls handles.

• Plastic items that are not heat resist-

ant.

• 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 wash-

ing: Residues, e.g. egg white, egg

yolk and mustard often cause disco-

louring and staining on silver. There-

fore 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, cut-

lery etc.

Service dishes and large lids should be

arranged around the edge of the basket,

ensuring that the spray arms can turn

freely.

18 electrolux load cutlery and dishes

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 up-

right 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 kni-

ves.

Forks and spoons should be placed in

the removable cutlery basket with the

handles facing downwards and the kni-

ves 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 han-

dles 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.

load cutlery and dishes electrolux 19

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 direc-

tions and pull them apart.

To reassemble, reverse the procedure.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for sau-

cers, 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.
