1) The appliance senses the type of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It automatically adjusts the temperature and quantity of the water, the energy consumption and the program time.

2) This is the most silent washing program. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise. Because of the low speed, the program time is long.

3) With this program you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.

4) This is the standard program for test institutes. With this program you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. Refer to the supplied leaflet for test information.

Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap and drain.

For the venting of the appliance only water hoses and mains cable openings are necessary.

The appliance has adjustable feet to allow the adjustment of its height.

Make sure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the mains cable are not bent or squashed, when you insert the appliance.

Adjusting the level of the appliance

A correct adjustment of the level of the appliance allows the door to close and seal correctly.

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet to level the appliance.

WATER CONNECTION

Water inlet hose

Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external BSP thread spout of 3/4".

For best washing performance it is recommended to connect the appliance to a cold water supply.

Energy savings can be made by connecting the appliance to a Solar water system and using economy options, however the water temperature must not exceed 60 °C.

Once connected the inlet hose to the water tap, turn the tap on and check that there are no leaks.

Inlet water supply

• Water pressure: 800 kPa max - 50 kPa min.
• Water flow rate 10 L / minute min.
- If water pressure is in excess of 800 kPa, a pressure reducing valve should be used. Check for leaks.
- If water temperature is in excess of 60^ , a tempering valve should be used. Check for leaks.

CAUTION!

Always use new hoses when you connect the appliance to the water mains. Old hoses must not be used. The water inlet hose must be examined at an interval of twelve months for deterioration and replaced if necessary.

The water pressure must be in the limits, refer to 'Technical data'.

Make sure that the local water authority gives you the average mains pressure in your area.

Make sure that the water inlet hose is not bent or squashed.

Fit the hose nut correctly to prevent water leaks.

CAUTION!

Do not connect the appliance to new pipes or pipes that have been not used for a long time. Let the water run for some minutes, then connect the inlet hose.

The water inlet hose is double-walled and has an inner mains cable and a safety valve. The water inlet hose is under pressure only while the water is running. If there is a leak in the water inlet hose, the safety valve interrupts the running water.

Be careful when you install the water inlet hose.

WARNING!

• The mains cable is in the double-walled inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.
• Do not attempt to shorten the inlet hose.
• If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, immediately turn off the power and remove the mains plug from the mains socket.
• Only a qualified Service Engineer can replace the water inlet hose with safety valve.

WARNING!

In order to pass the safety valve through the kitchen cabinets, an opening of at least 45 mm x 90 mm is needed.

Water drain hose

Use the supplied hose clamp to connect the water drain hose to the sink.

The highest point of the drain hose must be no more than 600 mm from the floor and must have a continuous fall to the plumbing connection.

The drain hose can be lengthened using additional lengths and connectors. These must be purchased from Electrolux Spare Parts. The extension length must not exceed 2 metres.

The drain hose must be free of obstructions.

Remove the sink plug when the appliance drains the water to prevent that the water goes back into the appliance.

If you connect the water drain hose to a trap spi- got under the sink, remove the plastic membrane.

If you do not remove the membrane, remaining food can cause a blockage in the drain hose spi-got.

Remove entire internal membrane

The appliance has a security feature to prevent dirty water going back into the appliance. If, the spigot of the sink has a 'non-return valve', this valve can cause the appliance to drain incorrectly. Remove the non-return valve.

CAUTION!

Make sure that the water couplings are tight to prevent water leakage.

Ensure that hoses are not bent or squashed under or behind the appliance.

Once connected the inlet hose to the water tap, turn the tap on and check that there are no leaks.
