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, German degrees (dH°), French
degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per
set the water softener electrolux 11
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.

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 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.
use of rinse aid electrolux 13
Do not worry if water overflows from
the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.
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.
The salt indicator light on the control
panel can remain illuminated 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.
Use of rinse aid
1. Open the container by pressing the
release button (A).
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.
2. Add the rinse aid in the container.
The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
14 electrolux daily use
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.
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.
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 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
load cutlery and dishes electrolux 15
• 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:

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.
16 electrolux load cutlery and dishes
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.
The rows of prongs on the lower basket
can be easily lowered to allow you to
load pots, pans and bowls.
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.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
load cutlery and dishes electrolux 17
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, it can
be easily hidden.
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.
18 electrolux load cutlery and dishes
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.
For glasses with long stems (according
to the size and dimensions), set the glass
holder to the left or right position.
Before closing the door, ensured
that the spray arms can rotate
freely.
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

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.
use of detergent electrolux 19
Never lift or lower the basket on one
side only
With the upper basket raised we
recommend you adjust the cup
racks in the lowest position.
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.
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.

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)
Detergent tablets
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.
Multi-tab function
This appliance is equipped with the
"Multi-tab function", that allows the use
of the "Multi-tab" combi detergent tablets.

• 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

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.
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.
3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove the filter system
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
care and cleaning electrolux 27
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
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
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.
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.
External cleaning
Moving the machine
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...).
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.
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.

required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified
electrician and/or plumber or competent person.
water connection electrolux 33
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 work surface.
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.
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).
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.
Water connection
Water supply connection
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 data". 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.
34 electrolux water connection
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.
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.
• A water inlet hose with safety valve
must only be replaced by the Service
Force Centre.
Warning! Dangerous voltage
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 venthole, minimum internal diameter 4
cm.
The waste connection must be at a
maximum height of 60 cm from the bottom of the dishwasher.
electrical connection electrolux 35
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.
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
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.
Electrical connection
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.
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.
36 electrolux environment concerns
