5. Open the water tap.
6. Start a programme to remove any
processing residuals that can still be
inside the appliance. Do not use
detergent and do not load the
baskets.
When you start a programme, the

recharge the resin in the water softener.
It seems that the appliance is not
working. The washing phase starts only
after this procedure is completed. The
procedure will be repeated periodically.
8.1 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals
from the water supply, which would have
a detrimental effect on the washing
results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales.
The water 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. It is important to set the
right level of the water softener to assure
good washing results.

2) Do not use salt at this level.
Whether you use a standard detergent
or multi-tabs (with or without salt), set
the proper water hardness level to
keep the salt refill notification active.
Multi-tabs containing salt are
not effective enough to
soften hard water.
8.2 The salt container
CAUTION!
Use rough salt designed for
dishwashers only. Fine salt
increases the risk of
corrosion.
The salt is used to recharge the resin in
the water softener and to assure good
washing results in daily use.
How to fill the salt container
Make sure that the Comfort
Lift basket is empty and
locked in the raised position.
1. Turn the cap of the salt container
counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Put 1 litre of water in the salt
container (only for the first time).
3. Fill the salt container with dishwasher
salt (until it is full).
4. Carefully shake the funnel by its
handle to get the last granules inside.
5. Remove the salt around the opening
of the salt container.
6. Turn the cap of the salt container
clockwise to close the salt container.
CAUTION!
Water and salt can come out
of the salt container when
you fill it. After you fill the
salt container, immediately
start a programme to
prevent corrosion.
When the salt container
needs refilling, the display
shows a message.
www.electrolux.com14

8.3 The rinse aid dispenser
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes
without streaks and stains.
The rinse aid is automatically released
during the hot rinse phase.
It is possible to set the released quantity
of rinse aid between level 1 (minimum
quantity) and level 6 (maximum quantity).
Level 0 deactivates the rinse aid
dispenser and no rinse aid is released.
Factory setting: level 4.

10. HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 General
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.
• 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,
rinse aid and salt separately or you
can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in
1''). Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
• Select a programme according to the
type of load and the degree of soil.
Eco 50° offers the most efficient use
of water and energy consumption.
10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
for dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard
water we recommend to use plain
dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,
tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying
results.
• At least once a month run the
appliance with the use of appliance
cleaner which is particularly suitable
for this purpose.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
10.3 What to do if you want to
stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid do the
following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent
and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according
to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty
notification.
10.4 Loading the baskets
• Use the appliance to wash
dishwasher-safe items only.
• Do not wash in the appliance items
made of wood, horn, aluminium,
pewter and copper.
• Do not wash in the appliance items
that can absorb water (sponges,
household cloths).
• Remove large food residues from
dishes.
• Soak cookware with burnt-on food
before washing it in the appliance.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening facing
downwards.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
each other.
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not move
freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the
cutlery drawer.

• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.
10.5 Before starting a
programme
Before you start the selected
programme, make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type
of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
10.6 Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before
you remove it from the appliance. Hot
items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower
basket, then from the upper basket.
After the programme is
completed, water can still
remain on the inside
surfaces of the appliance.
11. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Before maintenance,
deactivate the appliance and
disconnect the mains plug
from the main socket.
Make sure that the Comfort
Lift basket is empty and
locked in the raised position.
Dirty filters and clogged
spray arms decrease the
washing results. Make a
check regularly and, if
necessary, clean them.
11.1 Cleaning the filters
The filter system is made of 3 parts.
C
B
A
1. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise
and remove it.
ENGLISH 19

2. Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B).
3. Remove the flat filter (A).
4. Wash the filters.
5. Make sure that there are no residues
of food or soil in or around the edge
of the sump.
6. Put back in place the flat filter (A).
Make sure that it is correctly
positioned under the 2 guides.
7. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C).
8. Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter
(A). Turn it clockwise until it locks.
CAUTION!
An incorrect position of the
filters can cause bad
washing results and damage
to the appliance.
11.2 Cleaning the upper spray
arm
We recommend to clean the upper spray
arm regularly to prevent soil from
clogging the holes.
Clogged holes can cause unsatisfactory
washing results.
1. Pull out the upper basket.
2. To detach the spray arm from the
basket, press the spray arm upwards
and simultaneously turn it clockwise.
3. Wash the spray arm under running
water. Use a thin pointed tool, e.g. a
toothpick, to remove particles of soil
from the holes.
