Environment concerns
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly
and can be recycled. The plastic components are iden-
tified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Discard the
packaging materials in the applicable container at the
community waste disposal facilities.
Old appliance
Make sure that the appliance goes to the applicable
collection point for recycling.
Make sure that this appliance is discarded correctly.
Inappropriate waste discard of the appliance causes
negative consequences for the environment and hu-
man health.
Warning! To discard the appliance, follow the
procedure:
For more information about the recycling of this appli-
ance, contact your local city office, your household
waste disposal service or the shop where you pur-
chased the appliance.
• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Cut off the mains cable and mains plug and discard
them.
• Discard the door catch. This prevents children clos-
ing themselves inside the appliance and endanger-
ing their lives.
Installation
The plinth on freestanding appliance is not adjustable.
Do not remove the appliance worktop if you want to use
the dishwasher as a freestanding appliance.
Remove the appliance worktop to install it under a sink
unit or a kitchen worktop.
Fitting under a counter
Warning! Make sure that mains plug is
disconnected from the mains socket during
installation.

The steam protection foil is not supplied with free-
standing models, but can be purchased from
Electrolux Spare Parts.
Adjusting the level of the appliance
Make sure that the appliance is level to close and seal
the door correctly. If the level of the appliance is correct,
Water connection
Fit the hose nut correctly to prevent water leaks.
Water inlet hose
Connect the appliance to a cold water supply.
Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external
BSP thread spout of 3/4”.
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.
Inlet water supply
• Cold water pressure: 800 kPa max - 50 kPa min.
• Water flow rate 10 L / minute min.
Water drain hose
The highest point of the drain hose must be no more
than 60 cm from the floor and must have a continuous
fall.
The drain hose can be lengthened using additional
lengths and connectors. These must be purchased
from Electrolux SpareParts. Theextensionlength must
not exceed 2 metres.
The drain hose must be free of kinks and obstructions.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance drains the
water to prevent that the water goes back into the ap-
pliance.
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.
• If cold water pressure is in excess of 800 kPa, a
pressure reducing 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 'Tech-
nical data'). Make sure that the local water authority
gives you the average mains pressure in your area.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the water inlet hose
and that the water inlet hose is not squashed or entan-
gled.
12
Caution! Ensure that hoses are not crushed or
kinked under or behind 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.
Caution! Once connected the inlet hose to the
water tap, turn the tap on and check that there
are no leaks.
Make sure that the water couplings are tight to prevent
water leakage.
