Using it for other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage to property and invalidate the guarantee. Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running, since hot steam may escape. Only use detergent specifically designed for use in dishwashers. G G -3- Description of the appliance 4 5 -4- Spray arm (1) It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear. A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut anticlockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants. 3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash programme. 4. Close the lid and press until it locks again. Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid detergent. Coarse filter/microfilter (2) The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the filter is always clean. Turn the coarse filter anticlockwise. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary. Water softener (6) This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard water, therefore shall the rinse aid dispenser be set for a low dosage. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher. To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special container where the hardness is removed. Since the water softener uses coarse dishwasher salt, you will have to refill the salt container after a certain number of dishwashing cycles. It is important to fill the compartment with coarse dishwasher salt before using the machine for the first time, if you live in an area where the water is calciferous. The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the container requires refilling. 1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise. 2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first time). 3. Fill the container with coarse salt, using the funnel supplied. 4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage around the filler opening. 5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place. The water softener is now ready for the first load of dishes. Always make sure that there is coarse grained salt in the container, which holds about 1 litre. How to adjust the water softener, see chapter "Adjusting the water softener". Use only special salt for dishwashing machines, ordinary domestic salt can damage the water softener. Fine filter (3) It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency. The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed the coarse filter. Detergent dispenser (4) Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment. Consult the instructions on the detergent packet, fill the compartment accordingly and close the lid. Remember that the instructions usually refer to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Pre-wash detergent is poured into the smaller compartment to the left when needed. This detergent is active allready at prerinsing. Make sure that there is no items that prevents the lid from opening. Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. Avoid frequent use of liquid detergents, as the long term effects of such detergents create a potential risk of increasing pump noise. Rinse aid dispenser (5) Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of the load, since it helps water and soil to run off. Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 150 ml. This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according to the hardness of the water. You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, equivalent to 1 - 6 ml rinse aid. Factory setting is 1. Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g. the handle of a spoon. The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the dispenser requires refilling. 1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment and lift the lid. 2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill. -5- The control panel Indicator and control lamps A Display On/Off button Water softener button Delay start button Programme buttons Combination buttons "A": In addition to selecting a programme, you can by pressing these two buttons adjust the setting of the water softener and cancel a programme in progress.

The figures can vary depending on inlet water temperature and how full the main and cutlery basket are. 3) Consumption figures and performance is according to the Energy Save programme cycle. 4) Prerinse is used if you want to wait until you have a full load. This cycle rinses the load and keeps it moist, making the main wash easier later on. No detergent should be used. All programmes begin with a drain. Dishwashing detergent in tablet form is not suitable for use in the Speed programme cycle because some tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. -8- Loading and unloading the dishwasher How to load the dishes The illustration shows the dishwasher loaded with six place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below we are sure you will be pleased with the results. G G Baskets Main basket Cutlery basket The cup shelves can be placed in two different levels. Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down. Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the water can run off when drying. Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be properly washed. The water must get at all the soiled surfaces. Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating. Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver. China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may not be suitable for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic handles. Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher proof. G G G G G Silver and aluminum items tend to be discolour when washed. Food remnants from egg and mustard often causes discolourations and stains on silver. Make sure to rinse off and remove food remnants on silver if it is not washed immediately after it has been used. Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be machine washed, we suggest you check by washing a single item or else wash them by hand. When washing delicate items, select the programme with the lower wash temperature. Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration to the interior of the dishwasher. Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the main basket. G G G Unloading Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. Always let the dishes cool down before unloading. The dishes dry faster if the door for a short moment is opened completely when the dishprogramme is finished and then left ajar. Be careful when opening the door, since hot steam may escape. -9- Using the appliance Starting the programme 1. Scrape or rinse off solid food remnants. 2. Load the dishwasher. (See the basket and loading). 3. Put the correct amount of detergent into the detergent dispenser and close the lid. 4. Close the door. 5. Press in the On/Off button. All programme indicator lamps are lit. 6. Press in the required programme button (see programme chart). All other programme indicator lamps go out. The lamp always indicates which part of the selected cycle the dishwasher is in. 7. Check the filters to see if they need to be cleaned when the dishwasher has finished the programme. Pause function With the pause function the programme can be interrupted for a short period of time. 1. Press in the On/Off button. The programme stops. 2. All lamps goes out. 3. When you want the programme to continue again, you press the On/Off button. The programme continues. The programme should not be paused for any longer then necessary, because the water inside the dishwasher has cooled down and must be heated again which increases the power consumption. Cancelling the drying phase In case you do not want to wait until the drying phase is completed, you can cancel it. 1. Press in the On/Off button. 2. Open the door. The drying phase is cancelled. Interrupting the programme temporarily 1. Open the door. The programme stops. 2. The programme indicator lamp is lit. 3. Close the door and the programme continues after about six seconds. Open the door carefully when the dishwasher is running, since hot steam may escape. Switching the dishwasher off Switch the dishwasher off, when the indicator lamp for the programme cycle end is lit or the display shows 0. 1. Press in the On/Off button. Cancelling the programme 1. Press and hold in the combination buttons, the machine goes to starting position and all programme indicator lamps are lit. 2. Release the buttons. The programme is now cancelled and a new programme can be selected. If you switch the dishwasher off with the On/Off button, the selected programme is not finished, it is only disrupted. When you start the dishwasher again, the programme will continue. 2. Leave the door slightly ajar. Be careful if you open the door immediately after the programme is finished, since hot steam may escape. This dishwasher is equipped with the new flush system called "IMPULSE WASHING". This washing system varies both the revolutions of the pump and the water pressure for more intensive cleaning of the dishes during a programme. That is why different sections of the programme cycle do not sound the same. Cleaning the dishwasher Clean the outside surfaces of the appliance using a mild (non-abrasive) household cleaning product. Finish by removing remaining traces of the product with a damp cloth. Do not use cleaning products which contain alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances. - 10 - In the event of a fault Before calling out an engineer, please check through the details below because some faults can be rectified easily without the need to call out an engineer.

Check that the dishwasher is undamaged. If you discover any damage, faults or that anything is missing, you should notify the dealer immediately. Never leave packaging material in a place where children may play with it. Check that the following accessories are supplied with the dishwasher when you unpack it: ­ A funnel for filling salt (1) ­ Elbow for discharge hose (2) ­ Rubber seal (3) ­ Restrictor 1/2" (4) 1 2 4 3 Use This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household utensils suitable for washing in a dishwasher. Using it for other purposes may damage it and invalidate the guarantee. Positioning The dishwasher is intended to be installed on a kitchen drainer, worktop or built-in. To function properly, make sure that the appliance is level. Its height can be adjusted with the adjustable feets (5 mm each). See the illustration for built-in measurements. Protecting the dishwasher against freezing If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes fall below 0° C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside the parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it. To prevent this you should: 1. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. 2. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 3. Make sure that there is coarse-grained salt in the salt container for the water softener. The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacture is not responsible for any frost damage. - 14 - Installation Water inlet The dishwasher is equipped with safety features which are to prevent the water from going back to the fresh water system. These features are according to current water technical safety regulations. The temperature of the water supply should not exceed 65° C and the pressure should be between 80-1000 kPa (0,8 - 10 bar). It is important to have a tap or stopcock, positioned close to the dishwasher and with easy access. Special mixer taps with dishwasher connections are available, as well as adaptors for older mixer taps. Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread. If necessary, use the restrictor (1/2") supplied. The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose, specially designed for the purpose. The end of the hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut. Check that the nut and all other connections are tight before the machine is moved into position. Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dishwasher, do not reuse the old inlet hose. Water drainage To protect the dishwasher against water damage it is equipped with a water safety system. In the event of a fault the drain-pump starts automatically and the remaining water inside the dishwasher is pumped out. The water safety system also works when the dishwasher is switched off. However the dishwasher must be connected electrically. Place the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated. It must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over the surface which the dishwasher is standing on. If it runs higher, operation of the dishwasher might be impaired. It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point. If the discharge hose is too long, it can easily be cut to the right length. 1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a sharp knife. 2. Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the hose. Electrical connection The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical plug for connection to a 230 V earthed wall socket, which should be easily accessible and protected by a 10 A fuse. Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electric mains supply, for example by removing the plug from the wall socket. Permanent electrical installation must be carried out by an authorised electrician or competent person. - 15 - www.electrolux.com Technical changes possible
