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 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.

Open the dishwasher door. 2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher. 3. Turn the water hardness dial to position 1 or 2 (see table). 4. Replace the lower basket. 3. Press button 1, the lights of buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the light of the button 1 goes on flashing, at the same time the end of programme indicator light starts to flash. The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the end of programme indicator light (see chart). Setting electronically The dishwasher is factory set at level 5. Examples: 5 flashes, pause, 5 flashes, pause, etc... = level 5 6 flashes, pause, 6 flashes, pause, etc... = level 6 4. To change the level, press function button 1. Each time the button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level see the chart). Examples: if the current level is 5, by pressing function button 1 once, level 6 is selected. if the current level is 10, by pressing function button 1 once, level 1 is selected. 5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button. The electronic setting of the water softener is possible ONLY with the 3 in 1 function deactivated. 1. Press the On/Off button. The dishwasher must be in setting mode. 2. Press simultaneously and keep pressed buttons 2 and 3, until the lights of buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing. first use electrolux 13 Filling with dishwasher salt 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. 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. Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. 14 electrolux first use 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). 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. 2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max". 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. The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting. 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 would damage the appliance. daily use electrolux 15 Daily use q 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. q - Lay small objects in the cutlery basket. Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items. q q q q Loading cutlery and dishes Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher. q Before loading the dishes, you should: - Remove all left over food and debris. - Soften remnants of burnt food in pans q 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. 16 electrolux daily use For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes are not suitable: - 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. 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 electrolux 17 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. The two rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. 18 electrolux daily use The cutlery basket To make easier the loading of the cutlery basket we advise you to lower the cutlery basket's handle (fig.2). fig. 2 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 (fig.1). fig. 1 For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid. If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do not allow the use of the grid, it can be easily hidden (fig. 3). fig. 3 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 electrolux 19 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. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 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. 20 electrolux 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. Maximum height of the dishes in: the upper basket With upper basket raised With upper basket lowered 20 cm 24 cm the lower basket 31 cm 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. Never lift or lower the basket on one side only When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup racks. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 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. daily use electrolux 21 Use of detergent 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) 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. 4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 1 2 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. 22 electrolux daily use "3 in 1 function" This appliance is equipped with the "3 in 1 function", that allows the use of the "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets.

If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are shorter and the water consumption level is lower. If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are longer and the water consumption level is higher. For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary within the stated range for "Auto" programme. During the "Auto" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes. care and cleaning electrolux 29 Care and cleaning Cleaning the filters The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. 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. 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, and remove. 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. 3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anticlockwise and remove. Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. 30 electrolux care and cleaning NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a cocktail stick. Prolonged periods of nonoperation If you are not using the machine for any 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. 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....). 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 a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent. something not working electrolux 31 Something not working The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation.

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. Fitting under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink) By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture. Insert the machine after adjusting the levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed. During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged. Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily accessible for the service engineer in the event that a repair is required. If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original worktop must be re-mounted. The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable. 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. 38 electrolux installation Water supply connections 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 specifications". 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. (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. installation electrolux 39 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: q Warning! Dangerous voltage 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 a specialist or by the Service Force Centre. Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than the bottom edge of the safety valve. q q q 40 electrolux installation 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 height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher. 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. If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. 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 electrolux 41 Electrical connection Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions. 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 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 electrical cable has to be replaced, contact your local Service Force 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. 42 electrolux environment concerns Environment concerns Packaging material The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled.
