The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets . It auto‐

matically adjusts the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the

programme duration.

3)

This programme has a high temperature rinsing phase for better hygiene results. During

the rinsing phase, the temperature stays at 70 °C for at least 10 minutes.

4)

With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in

a short time.

6. SETTINGS

6.1 Programme selection mode

and user mode

When the appliance is in programme

selection mode it is possible to set a

programme and to enter the user mode.

In user mode, the following settings

can be changed:

• The level of the water softener

according to the water hardness.

• The activation or the deactivation of

the acoustic signal for end of

programme.

• The activation or deactivation of the

rinse aid empty notification.

These settings will be saved until you

change them again.

How to set the programme

selection mode

The appliance is in programme selection

mode when the programme indicator

is on and the display shows the

programme duration.

When you activate the appliance, usually

it is in programme selection mode.

However, if this does not happen, you

can set the programme selection mode

in the following way:

Press and hold simultaneously Program

and Option until the appliance is in

programme selection mode.

6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals

from the water supply, which would have

a detrimental effect on the washing

results and on the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals,

the harder your water is. Water hardness

is measured in equivalent scales.

The water 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. It is important to set the

right level of the water softener to assure

good washing results.

10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 General

The following hints will ensure optimal

cleaning and drying results in daily use

and also help to protect the environment.

• Remove larger residues of food from

the dishes into the waste bin.

• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.

When needed, use the prewash

programme (if available) or select a

programme with a prewash phase.

• Always use the whole space of the

baskets.

• When loading the appliance, make

sure that the dishes can be

completely reached and washed by

the water released from the spray arm

nozzles. Make sure that items do not

touch or cover each other.

• You can use dishwasher detergent,

rinse aid and salt separately or you

can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'',

''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the

instructions written on the packaging.

• Select the programme according to

the type of load and degree of soil.

With the ECO programme you have

the most efficient use of water and

energy consumption for crockery and

cutlery with normal soil.

10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and

detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent

for dishwasher. Other products can

cause damage to the appliance.

• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in

areas with a water hardness up to 21

°dH. In areas exceeding this limit,

rinse aid and salt must be used in

addition to the multi-tablets. However,

in areas with hard and very hard

water we recommend to use solo-

detergent (powder, gel, tablets without

additional functions), rinse aid and

salt separately for optimal cleaning

and drying results.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve

with short programmes. To prevent

detergent residues on the tableware,

we recommend that you use the

tablets with long programmes.

• Do not use more than the correct

quantity of detergent. Refer to the

instructions on the detergent

packaging.

10.3 What to do if you want to

stop using multi-tablets

Before you start to use separately

detergent, salt and rinse aid do the

following procedure.

1. Set the highest level of the water

softener.

2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid

containers are full.

3. Start the shortest programme with a

rinsing phase. Do not add detergent

and do not load the baskets.

4. When the programme is completed,

adjust the water softener according

to the water hardness in your area.

5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse

aid.

6. Activate the rinse aid empty

notification.

10.4 Loading the baskets

• Only use the appliance to wash items

that are dishwasher-safe.

ENGLISH 15

• Do not put in the appliance items

made of wood, horn, aluminium,

pewter and copper.

• Do not put in the appliance items that

can absorb water (sponges,

household cloths).

• Remove larger residues of food from

the dishes into the waste bin.

• Make soft the remaining burned food

on the items.

• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and

pans) with the opening down.

• Make sure that glasses do not touch

other glasses.

• Put cutlery and small items in the

cutlery basket.

• Put light items in the upper basket.

Make sure that the items do not

move.

• Make sure that the spray arms can

move freely before you start a

programme.

10.5 Before starting a

programme

Make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly

installed.

• The cap of the salt container is tight.

• The spray arms are not clogged.

• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid

(unless you use multi- tablets).

• The position of the items in the

baskets is correct.

• The programme is applicable for the

type of load and for the degree of soil.

• The correct quantity of detergent is

used.

10.6 Unloading the baskets

1. Let the tableware cool down before

you remove it from the appliance. Hot

items can be easily damaged.

2. First remove items from the lower

basket, then from the upper basket.

At the end of the program

water can still remain on the

sides and on the door of the

appliance.

11. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Before maintenance,

deactivate the appliance and

disconnect the mains plug

from the main socket.

Dirty filters and clogged

spray arms decrease the

washing results. Make a

check regularly and, if

necessary, clean them.

11.1 Cleaning the filters

The filter system is made of 3 parts.

C

B

A

1. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise

and remove it.

www.electrolux.com16

2. Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B).

3. Remove the flat filter (A).

4. Wash the filters.

5. Make sure that there are no residues

of food or soil in or around the edge

of the sump.

6. Put back in place the flat filter (A).

Make sure that it is correctly

positioned under the 2 guides.

7. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C).

8. Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter

(A). Turn it clockwise until it locks.

CAUTION!

An incorrect position of the

filters can cause bad

washing results and damage

to the appliance.

11.2 Cleaning the spray arms

Do not remove the spray arms. If the

holes in the spray arms are clogged,

remove remaining parts of soil with a thin

pointed object.

11.3 External cleaning

• Clean the appliance with a moist soft

cloth.

• Only use neutral detergents.

• Do not use abrasive products,

abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.

11.4 Internal cleaning

• Carefully clean the appliance,

including the rubber gasket of the

door, with a soft damp cloth.

ENGLISH 17

• If you regularly use short duration

programmes, these can leave

deposits of grease and limescale

inside the appliance. To prevent this,

we recommend to run long duration

programmes at least 2 times per
