Programme in pro- gress indicator light is off. The appliance is in setting mode. Always remember that when performing the following operations: – selecting a washing programme, – setting the water softener level, – activating/deactivating the rinse aid, the appliance MUST be in setting mode. Press the On/Off button. Only 1 programme button light comes on. The programme in progress indicator light comes on. The last performed or selected programme is still set. In this case, to return to setting mode, the programme has to be cancelled. To cancel a set programme or a programme in progress Simultaneously press and hold the two func- tion buttons B and C until all the programme button lights and the programme in progress indicator light come on. The programme has been cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode. First use Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water con- nections comply with the installation in- structions

• Remove all packaging from inside the ap- pliance

• Set the water softener level

• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: ''3 in 1'', ''4 in 1'', ''5 in 1'' etc... set the Multitab function. (See ''Multitab function''). 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 hard- ness is measured in equivalent scales, Ger- man degrees (dH°), French degrees (°TH) electrolux 77and 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. The water softener must be set in two ways: manually, using the water hard- ness dial and electronically. Water hardness Adjusting the water hardness setting Use of salt °dH °TH mmol/l manually electronically

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dish-

3. Turn the water hardness dial to position

Setting electronically The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.

1. Press the On/Off button. The dishwasher

must be in setting mode.

Press function button A, the lights of function buttons B and C go off while the light of function button A continues to flash. The current level shows on the dig- ital display. Examples: displayed = level 5 displayed = level 10

4. To change the level, press function but-

ton A. 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 A once, level 6 is selected. if the current level is 10, by pressing function button A once, level 1 is selected.

5. To memorize the operation, switch off the

dishwasher by pressing the On/Off but- ton. Use of dishwasher salt Warning! Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not spe- cifically designed for use in a dishwasher, es- 78 electroluxpecially table salt, will damage the water soft- ener. 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 into 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.

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 clock-

wise until it stops with a click. Do not worry if water overflows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replen- ished, assuming the dishwasher re- mains switched on. If you are using salt that takes longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The oper- ation of the machine is not affected. Use of rinse aid Warning! 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.

1. Open the container by pressing the re-

2. Add the rinse aid in the container. The

maximum level for filling is indicated by "max". electrolux 79The 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. According to the finish and drying results ob- tained, 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. Daily use

• Check if it’s necessary to refill with dish- washer salt or rinse aid.

• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwash- er.

• 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

• 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 coat- ings 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. 80 electroluxFor washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of- pearls handles.

• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.

• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not tem- perature resistant.

• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.

• Pewter or copper items.

• Steel items prone to rusting.

• Items made from synthetics fibres.

• 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 dis- colouring and staining on silver. Therefore al- ways clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use. Load cutlery and dishes The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take sauce- pan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Service dishes and large lids should be ar- ranged around the edge of the basket, en- suring that the spray arms can turn freely. The rows of prongs in the lower basket can lie flat to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. The cutlery basket 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. electrolux 81If 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. For best results we recommend that you use the cutlery grids. If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do not allow the use of the grids, they can be easily hidden. The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibili- ty. To separate the two parts, slide them hor- izontally 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. 82 electroluxGlasses with long stems can be placed up- side down in the cup racks. For taller items the cup racks can be folded upwards. Mini cutlery basket The upper basket is supplied with a mini cut- lery basket. Caution! NEVER PUT KNIVES IN THE

MINI CUTLERY BASKET. THIS WILL

PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE

APPLIANCE. The mini cutlery basket must only be placed in the front part of the upper basket, on the left or on the right side. The dimensions of the cutlery depend on the position of the upper basket. Refer to the fol- lowing table. Cutlery dimensions for mini cutlery basket Upper basket in higher position maximum 15 cm Upper basket in lower position maximum 20 cm Soft spikes Soft spikes impede glassware to move dur- ing the washing cycle or when the upper basket is moved. Refer to the figures for a correct positioning of the soft spikes. For more loading flexibility, they can be positioned on the left or right- hand side of the basket. Once positioned correctly, press them down firmly and make sure they do not move. electrolux 83Caution! BEFORE CLOSING THE

DOOR, MAKE SURE 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 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. To lower the basket to the original posi- tion 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. Never lift or lower the basket on one side only When the basket is in the higher position cups cannot be placed on the cup racks. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically de- signed for use in dishwashers. Please observe the manufacturer’s dos- ing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pol- lution. Fill with detergent

2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with de-

tergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 84 electrolux20 = 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 be used during the prewash phase. When using detergent tablets; place the tablet in compartment (1)

4. Close the lid and press until it locks in

place. Detergent tablets from different manu- facturers 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 re- siduals. Multi-tab function This appliance is equipped with the "Multitab function", that allows the use of the "Multitab" combi detergent tablets. These products are detergents with a com- bined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions. They can also contain other different agents depending on which kind of tablets you choose ("3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc...). Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. See the manufac- turers instructions. Once this function is selected it will remain active for all following wash programmes. With the selection of this function the inflow of rinse aid and salt from each respective supply container is automatically deactivated and also the indicator lights for salt and rinse aid are deactivated. electrolux 85When using the "Multitab function", the cycle durations may change. If this is the case, the running time for the programme is automat- ically updated on the digital display. Activate/deactivate the ''Multitab func- tion'' before the start of a washing pro- gramme. Once the programme is running, the "Multitab function " can NO longer be changed. If you want to cancel the "Mul- titab function " you have to cancel the programme setting and then deactivate the ''Multitab function''. In this case you have to set a washing programme (and desired options) again. Activation/deactivation of the Multitab function Simultaneously press and hold the two Mul- titab buttons (function buttons D and E) until the Multitab indicator light comes on. This means that the function is active. To deactivate the function press the same buttons again until the indicator light corre- sponding to the Multitab function symbol goes off. If the drying results are not satisfac- tory we suggest that you:

2) Test programme for test institutes

The consumption values are intended as a guide and depend on the pressure and temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply and the amount of dishes. 88 electroluxCare and cleaning Cleaning the filters The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. Warning! 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.

3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anti-

clockwise and remove the filter system

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

6. Remove the flat filter from the base of the

washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.

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. 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. NEVER try to remove the spray arms. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove the debris with a cocktail stick. 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 sol- vent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc...). 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 you run the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes us- ing detergent but without dishes. Prolonged periods of non-operation If you are not using the machine for a pro- longed period of time you are advised to: electrolux 891. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.

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 cab- inet . If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the ma- chine is perfectly level. Water connection Water inlet connection This appliance can be connected to either a hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply. With a hot water supply you can have a sig- nificant reduction of energy consumption. This however, depends on how the hot water is produced. (We suggest alternative sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly as e.g. solar or photovoltaic panels and aeolian). For making the connection itself, the cou- pling nut fitted to the appliance water inlet hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" 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 Wa- ter 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 con- nected. The appliance features inlet and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the electrolux 93right to suit the installation by means of the locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Attention! NOT all dishwasher models of have inlet and drain hoses provided with a locknut. In this case, this facility is not available. If the appliance is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few mi- nutes before connecting the inlet hose. DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously been used on an old ap- pliance. This appliance has been fitted with safe- ty 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 drain 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 run- ning 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 dishwash- er. The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher Ensure the drain hose is not bent or squash- ed 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 di- ameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. Likewise the internal diameter of the cou- plings used for connections to the waste out- let 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 mem- brane (A) must be removed. Failure to re- move all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot Our appliances are supplied with a se- curity device to protect against the re- turn 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. To avoid water leakage after installation make sure that the water couplings are tight. Electrical connection Warning! Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated volt- age 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. 94 electroluxAlways plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof sock- et. Multi-way plugs, connectors and ex- tension cables must not be used. This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating. If necessary, have the domestic wir- ing 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 pull- ing on the cable. Always pull the plug. The manufacturer accepts no liabil- ity for failure to observe the above safety precautions.
