Follow the hints below to ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and to help you protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.
When needed, select a programme
with a prewash phase.
www.electrolux.com14
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• Make sure that items in the baskets
do not touch or cover each other.
Only then can the water completely
reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent
and rinse aid separately or you can
use the multi-tablets. Follow the
instructions on the packaging.
• Select a programme according to the
type of load and the degree of soil.
ECO offers the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption for
crockery and cutlery with normal soil.
10.2 Using rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programs. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programs.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
10.3 Loading the baskets
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• 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 remaining food from the
items.
• Make soft the remaining burned food
on the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do
not bond together. Mix spoons with
other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put 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 arm can
move freely before you start a
programme.
10.4 Before starting a
programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is dishwasher rinse aid (unless
you use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is applicable to the
type of load and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
10.5 Unloading the baskets
1. For improved drying results with the
most efficient use of energy select
the AirDry option, otherwise open the
door by approximately 10cm at the
end of the program.
2. Allow the tableware to cool for 30 -
40 minutes.
3. Hot items can be easily damaged,
allow them to cool down before
removing from appliance.

DISHWASHER
SINK
POWER OUTLET
Install the appliance under a kitchen
counter.
Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap
and a water drain.
For the venting of the appliance only
water hoses and mains cable openings
are necessary.
14.1 Adjusting the height of the
appliance
1. Remove the adjustable plinth.
2. To adjust the front height of the
appliance, turn the 2 front feet
counterclockwise.
3. To adjust the rear height of the
appliance, turn the middle screw
counterclockwise.
14.2 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

appliance.
www.electrolux.com22
Once the installation is completed, make

plinth is aligned with the floor.
14.3 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.
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° C, 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
indicated in the chapter ''TECHNICAL
INFORMATION''. Make sure that the
local water authority gives you the
average mains pressure in your area.
In order to pass the safety valve through
the kitchen cabinets, an opening of at
least 45 mm x 90 mm is needed.
14.4 Water drain hose
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.
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.
If you connect the water drain hose to a
trap spigot under the sink, remove the
plastic membrane. If you do not remove
the membrane, remaining food can
cause a blockage in the drain hose
spigot.
