Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

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

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 children away from the front of the dishwasher so that they are not accidentally hit by the door during loading and unloading or if door should unexpectedly open. The weight of the door can cause injury.
• 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.

• 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.

GETTING STARTED

START

Press and hold SANITIZE touchpad for 8 seconds before first use.

To run your dishwasher, follow these basic steps:

1 Load dishwasher. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.)
2 Add detergent. (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents, pages 12-14.)
3 Add rinse aid, if needed. (See Rinse Aid, page 14.)
4 Select desired CYCLE. (See Cycle Selections, pages 6-7.) The touchpads are illuminated white when selected.
5 Select desired OPTIONS. (See Energy Options Selections, page 7.) The touchpads are illuminated white when selected.
6 To start, press START/CANCEL touchpad and close door. (See Start/Cancel, page 8.)

Your dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may or may not hear the drain motor. You may also hear the splashing water as it enters the tub and the spray arms as they rotate and circulate water. The wash motor often pulsates throughout the cycle, which varies water pressure and optimizes performance.

ENERGY USE

The yellow energy guide label that came on your unit tells how much energy it would use in one year and how it compares to others that are available. The energy is based on the Normal cycle response to tests that apply soils and dishware that simulate the average use. Eight place settings of dishware and some serving pieces are used during the test.

The total energy is based on running the average number of cycles per year, applying typical soil levels to the dishware and, half the time, selecting the option of using extra energy to more fully dry the dishware. Actual energy and water use will depend upon the cycle and options you select.

This unit uses an in-line water heating element that is located under the tub. There is no exposed heater that plasticware might come in contact with or that is accessible to touch. The heat is taken to the dishware through the heated water. For this reason, plastic dishware may be placed where it fits best - either rack is OK. Temperatures are uniform throughout the dishwasher.

In many dishwashers when thorough drying is desired the exposed heater is run after the final drain to heat and dry the dishware. If the user prefers to save energy and dry the dishes by hand they select air dry instead of heated dry. The powerful heater in your unit is not able to be dry. Air dry is still an option. If you prefer to spend slightly more on energy to get the dishes drier then turn the air dry off. In response the wash and rinse temperatures in the cycle will be increased. This will help the cleaning and it will also get the dishwasher hotter. When the final drain removes all standing water, the extra heat stored in the dishware will act to evaporate the remaining water.

Your unit provides a selection of cycles. In general, the more water used by a cycle and the hotter the temperatures it reaches the more energy that it uses. Several cycles, such as the Normal cycle will change their response based on soil level, options selected, and ambient conditions. The Normal cycle is good for all around use. Other cycles are focused toward special use like the Heavy or Power Plus cycle that are designed for heavily soiled cookware.

NOTE

Your unit has DishSense™ Technology that is used to understand how heavily soiled the dish load is so the cycle can be automatically adjusted to the appropriate response. This helps to prevent energy waste. The sensor is calibrated at the end of the cycle. For the first cycle after power is applied (when first installed or after a power failure) the sensor will not be calibrated and so cannot determine the soil load. Therefore, your unit will provide a response suitable for heavy soils on the first run after power is restored. This will assure that whatever is loaded will get cleaned. Energy use during this first run may be higher than would be typical.

WASH CYCLE SELECTIONS

Cycle times are approximate and vary by options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils.

An automatic sensor checks the water temperature for the main wash of each cycle. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot.

CYCLE SELECTIONS

The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Auto, Normal and Eco cycles. Depending on soil level, the sensor will determine if additional water fills are needed to clean the dishes or if water fills can be deleted. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes. Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature.

Cookware

For pots, pans, casseroles and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Water usage is approximately 9.5 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 130 to 149 mins.

Auto Wash

When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be performed. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed. The dishwasher's Smart Sensor technology will determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time. Water usage ranges from approximately 5.5 to 10.7 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 99 to 162 mins.

Normal Wash

For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately 4.2 to 9.3 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 91 to 144 mins.

Eco Wash

For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately 5.6 to 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 78 to 80 mins.

Stemware

For lightly soiled China and Crystal. Water usage is approximately 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 85 to 92 mins.

ENERGY OPTION SELECTIONS

Sanitize

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. SANITIZE touchpad will turn white. This option heats the water temperature in the final rinse to 157^ F ( 69.4^ C) and maintains that temperature for 7 minutes. SANITIZE is available in Auto, Cookware, and Normal cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.

The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120^ F ( 49^ C).

If the SANITIZE option was selected, “SA” will be displayed at the end of the cycle. “SA” will not display at the end of the cycle if the NSF requirements for sanitization are not reached. The sanitization criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, a power failure occurs, or if the incoming water temperature is below 120^ F ( 49^ C).

To turn off the SANITIZE option, press SANITIZE a second time. SANITIZE touchpad will turn blue.

OPERATION SELECTIONS

Delay Time

The Delay Time option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1 hour to 24 hours.

Press the DELAY TIME touchpad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window press START/CANCEL to activate. Display will indicate the delay start time and will countdown until cycle starts.

To cancel the DELAY TIME option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL touchpad.

Child Lock Controls

To prevent children from accidentally starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the AIR DRY touchpad for 3 seconds. All the buttons except AIR DRY will be OFF and the display will indicate "Loc" and no new selections can be made until the lock is released. To unlock the controls, press the AIR DRY touchpad for 3 seconds, the unit will display the last cycle ran.

Start/Cancel

To start a cycle, press the START touchpad once and close the door. To cancel when a cycle is running, open the door and press the CANCEL touchpad once. Close the door again and the dishwasher will drain and shut off.

NOTE

Opening the door during normal operation will only pause the selected cycle.

Error Indications

In certain situations which are critical to the machine function and safe operation, the control shall shut down and indicate an error code 'Er' (See Error Codes on page 21). On units without a display, all indicator lights will flash.

If one of these codes are displayed contact the Electrolux Customer Care Center at 1-877-435-3287. They will be able to provide assistance in troubleshooting the problem and/or locating an authorized service technician, if needed.

INTERIOR LIGHTS

When door is opened, interior lights illuminate inside of dishwasher. These lights will turn off after the door is closed or the door remains opened for 10 minutes.

BLUE LIGHT

When BLUE LIGHT luminates on the floor this indicates that the wash cycle is complete.

CHIME

These models are equipped with a chime to audibly indicate when you have pressed a cycle or selected an option.

STATUS WINDOW

The STATUS window displays codes typically seen during programming of the dishwasher. The window will not display anything when the door is closed. The STATUS window indicates the following activity:

1 HR-24HRS Indicates number of delay start hours for selected cycle.

Cd Displayed once the program has been entered, the START/CANCEL touchpad is pressed and after a 10 second delay. It also flashes if the door is opened during a wash cycle, after a 10 second delay. Close the dishwasher door to begin or continue a wash cycle.

SA Displayed when SANITIZE option has been selected, dishwasher has reached SANITIZE temperature at completion of wash cycle. SA will remain displayed for 10 seconds.

CL Displayed when wash cycle has been completed, SANITIZE has not been selected or SANITIZE temperature has not been reached. CL will remain displayed for 10 seconds.

DISH PREPARATION

Scrape away large pieces of food, bone, pits, toothpicks, etc. The wash system will remove remaining food particles. Gently scrape away burned-on food with a non-scratch utensil or let dish soak before washing (see Figure 1). Empty liquids from glasses and cups.

Foods containing vegetable oil and/or chemical additives such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice or tomato-based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.

• Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before washing items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposal, be sure disposal is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

When covers are up, mix non-sharp items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

ADDING A DISH

To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:

1 Open door slightly and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before completely opening.
2 Add the item.
3 Close door firmly to latch and cycle will automatically resume.

CAUTION

TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot water may splash out of dishwasher. Failure to do so may result in injury.

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, 9–12 grains per gallon (GPG), of minerals. Harder water will require more detergent and may also result in deposits on dishware and unit internal surfaces.

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.

Cover Main Wash Cup Cover Latch Pre Wash Cup

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.

If the rinse aid is low, LOW RINSE 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 oversudsing.
3 Replace cap.
4 Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

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

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, rack handle 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 COOKWARE 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.

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. Less water evaporates from plastic items when cycle is complete because they do not retain as much heat 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 SANITIZE touchpad for 8 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.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• 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, water draining 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.

DISHWASHER WON'T FILL

• Check to see if the water supply is turned on.
• Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the unit and start again.
• Make sure Float is in and down.

DISHWASHER WON'T RUN

• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.
• Make sure water supply is turned on.
• 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.
• Make sure door is closed and latched.
• Check to see if dishwasher is in the Child Lock cycle.
• Make sure Float is down and is not stuck up.

DISHWASHER DOES NOT DRAIN PROPERLY

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.
