Important Safety Instructions

Please read all safety instructions before using your new Electrolux dishwasher.

- Read all instructions before using your dishwasher.

- Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this Use and Care Manual.

- This manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use common sense and caution when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

- National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Such establishments require a higher dishwasher water temperature to meet commercial sanitization requirements.

- DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions for details.

- This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse or circuit breaker if dishwasher is connected with a food waste disposer.

- Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place as explained in the Installation Instructions provided with your dishwasher.

• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

- Keep young children and infants a safe distance away from the dishwasher when it is in operation.

- Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.

- Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

- Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children.

- Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt.

- If the dishwasher drains into a food disposal, make sure disposal is completely empty before running dishwasher.

WARNING

This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as personal injury, burns, fire, and electrical shock.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the following:

- Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

• Repairs should be done by a qualified Electrolux professional.

- Do not tamper with controls.

- Use care unloading the dishware when the SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents may be hot to the touch immediately after the end of cycle.

- When loading and unloading items:

- Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the tub or door seal.

- Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. Alternatively, place sharp items and knives in the utensil shelf located in the upper rack.

- Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

NOTE

Save these important safety instructions for future reference.

HOW YOUR DISHWASHER CLEANS

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.

The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

The detergent dispenser has one main wash and one pre-wash cup. The covered cups open automatically to release detergent.

• Use only automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents will cause oversu dsing.
• When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cups and close.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO USE

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). “Hard water” contains large amounts of harsh minerals in granulated form, above 10-11 grains per gallon (gpg), which can affect water quality.

Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called “etching.” (See Etching, page 19.)

Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

CAUTION

The use of industrial grade detergent can damage parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.

DETERGENT USAGE GUIDE

Refer to the following table for recommended detergent usage.

Cycle	Soft Water(0-3 Grains)	Medium HardWater(4-8Grains)	Hard Water(9-12 Grains)	Very Hard Water*(Over 12 Grains)
Heavy, Auto or Normal	2 Teaspoons(Main Wash Cup - 1⁄4 Full)	5 Teaspoons(Main Wash Cup – fill to line above “Regular”)	8 Teaspoons(Main Wash Cup Completely Full)	Each Cup – Completely Full(Water Softener Recommended)
Quick, Eco, Delicate, Stemware	2 Teaspoons(Main Wash Cup – 1⁄4 Full)	5 Teaspoons(Main Wash Cup – fill to line above “Regular”)	8 Teaspoons(Main Wash Cup completely full)	Main Wash Cup – Completely Full(Water Softener Recommended)
Rinse	No Detergent No	DetergentNo Detergent		No Detergent(Water Softener Recommended)

As shown in the last column of this table, a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance when using very hard water.

Other suggestions:

• Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle.
• As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub.
• Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

RINSE AID

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. It causes the water to "sheet" off of dishes rather than form water droplets that cling and leave spots.

The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap.

On models with a STATUS window, LO RINSE AID displays at the beginning and end of the cycle, indicating that it is time to refill.

To add liquid rinse aid:

1 Turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out.
2 Pour in rinse aid until liquid reaches the flat surface marked MAX in the Rinse Aid dispenser. Do not overfill since this can cause oversuding.
3 Replace cap.
4 Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting.

Dispenser Opening RINSE AID Indicator MAX Less 1 2 3 4 + More Adjustable Setting Dispenser Cap

WATER TEMPERATURE

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120^ F ( 49^ C) to give satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering the dishwasher:

1 Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
2 Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of water to check the temperature.
3 If temperature is below 120^ F ( 49^ C), have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.

WATER PRESSURE

The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 90 pounds per square inch (psi).

Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.

IMPORTANT

Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe.

OUTSIDE

Occasionally wipe the outside surfaces of your dishwasher with a mild nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

Stainless Steel Door

Clean the stainless steel door and handle with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Use only kitchen cleaners made especially for cleaning stainless steel.

INSIDE

Remove spots on the door and tub with a damp, nonabrasive cloth.

IMPORTANT

Read before operating your dishwasher!

Care of Glass Trap Filter

Your dishwasher is equipped with a state of the art wash system. Periodically, the Glass Trap Filter and Large Food Particle Trap may need to be cleaned to maximize wash performance.

The Glass Trap Filter is located in the center of the Large Food Particle Trap. The Glass Trap Filter is designed to collect pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits. To remove items in the Glass Trap Filter, grasp the handle, lift out, empty and replace.

Fine Filter Glass Trap Filter Large Food Particle Trap

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on the sink at the countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty.

CAUTION

Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within dishwasher are protected. Failure to do so could result in property damage.

WINTERIZING

A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the following:

To Disconnect Service:

1 Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker.
2 Shut off water supply.
3 Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from inlet valve and drain into pan.
4 Disconnect drain line and drain water into pan.

To Restore Service:

1 Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply.
2 Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3 Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a HEAVY WASH cycle.

NOTE

See Installation Instructions for more details.

IMPORTANT

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or material in your dishwasher.

FOOD SOILS LEFT ON

DISHES

• Check incoming water temperature. (See Getting Started, page 5.) It should be at least 120^ (49^) . (See Factors Affecting Performance, page 15.)
• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading—avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low — should be 20 to 90 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page 13.)
• Use fresh detergent.
• Make sure items are not blocking any of the spray arms, preventing them from rotating.

DISPLAY NOT FUNCTIONING

- Check to see if unit is in the Display Off Setting. See page 8 to reactivate display.

DISHES NOT DRY

• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Increase the amount of rinse aid (See Rinse Aid, page 14).
• Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120^ (49°C).
• Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried. More water collects on plastic items when cycle is complete because they do not get as hot as glass or metal items.
• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water.

DISHWARE CHIPPED

• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.)
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
• Load items so they are secure and don't jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.
• It is recommended to wash fine antique china and crystal by hand.

DISPLAY NOT IN OPERATING MODE

- Hold down SET icon for 5 seconds to reset unit to Normal Operating Mode.

GLASSWARE/FLATWARE DISHWARE STAINED OR TTED OR CLOUDY DISCOLORED

• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page 13.)
  • Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance, page 15.)
• Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.)
• Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
• Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. (See Detergent Dispenser, pages 12-14.)

• Home water pressure may be too low—it should be 20 to 90 pounds per square inch (psi).

• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A water filter installed in-line with your water supply will correct this problem.
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items. Load properly.
• Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting on the stainless steel utensils. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.

ETCHING

• Using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Usage Guide, page 13.)
• Lower the water temperature.

DETERGENT LEFT IN DISPENSER CUP

• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
• Be sure water action can reach the dispenser make sure spray arm is not blocked.

• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Make sure the upper rack is firmly engaged to the nozzle on the back of the tub before closing the door.

DISHWASHER LEAKS

• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level (See Installation Instructions).

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU WILL HEAR

• Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor sounds.
• Pump pulsing will cause motor speed to increase and decrease at regular intervals during cycles.

WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TUB

- It is not normal for water to remain in the bottom of the tub at the end of a cycle. If water remains in the bottom of the tub at the end of a cycle, the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly). The filter may also need to be cleaned. (See Care of Filter, page 16.) Note: It is normal to see a small amount of water under the filter at the end of a cycle.

• Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions, pages 5-8.)
• Check to see if the DELAY START option has been selected.

DISHWASHER HAS AN ODOR

• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse cycle.
• There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly, page 20).

REMOVING SPOTS AND

FILM

Hard water can cause lime deposit build-up on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy, page 19).

To remove build-up, spots and film, clean using the following instructions:

1 Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Press START/CANCEL pad and close door.
4 Allow dishwasher to run until it begins the second fill. Open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
5 Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.

NOTE

If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.
