other products (e.g. dishwasher clean-
ing agent, liquid detergent). This can
cause damage to the appliance.

dosage.
• Do not put rinse aid in the rinse aid dis-
penser. In this condition rinse aid indica-
tor light is always on when you switch on
the appliance.

2. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.
LOADING CUTLERY AND DISHES
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Caution! Only use the appliance for
household utensils that are suitable for
dishwashers.
Do not use the appliance to clean objects
that can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths, etc.).
• Before you load cutlery and dishes:
– Remove all remains of food and debris.
– Soften burnt remains of food.
• While you load cutlery and dishes:
– Load hollow items (e.g. cups, glasses
and pans) with the opening down.
– Make sure that water does not collect
in the container or in a deep base.
– Make sure that cutlery and dishes do
not lie inside one another.
– Make sure that cutlery and dishes do
not cover other cutlery and dishes.
– Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
– Put small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non-stick
coatings can retain water droplets. Plas-
tic items do not dry as well as porcelain
and steel items.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make
sure that the items do not move.
Caution! Make sure that the spray
arms can move freely before you start
a washing program.
Warning! Always close the door after
you load or unload the appliance. An
open door can be dangerous.

LOADING THE CUTLERY BASKET
Warning! Do not put long-bladed
knives in a vertical position. Arrange
long and sharp cutlery horizontally in
the upper basket. Be careful with sharp
items.
Forks and spoons should be placed in the
removable cutlery basket with the handles
facing downwards and the knives with their
handles facing upwards
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent
them from nesting together.
For best results we recommend you use
the cutlery grids. If the size and dimensions
of the cutlery do not allow the use of the
grids, they can be easily hidden or re-
moved.

THE WASHING RESULTS AND DRYING RESULTS ARE NOT SATISFACTORY
Problem Possible cause Possible solution
The dishes are not clean. The selected washing program
was not suitable for the type of
load and soil.
Make sure that the washing
program is suitable for the type
of load and soil.
The baskets were not loaded
correctly, water did not touch
all surfaces.
Load the baskets correctly.
The spray arms could not turn
freely because of incorrect ar-
rangement of the load.
Make sure that an incorrect ar-
rangement of the load does not
cause a blockage of the spray
arms.
The filters are dirty or not as-
sembled and installed correctly.
Make sure that the filters are
clean and correctly assembled
and installed.
The quantity of detergent was
not sufficient or missing.
Make sure that the quantity of
detergent is sufficient.
There are streaks, milky stains,
or a bluish layer on glasses and
dishes.
Rinse aid dosage is too high. Decrease the rinse aid dosage.
Dry water drop stains on
glasses and dishes.
Rinse aid dosage is too low. Increase the rinse aid dosage.
The detergent can be the
cause.
Use a different brand of deter-
gent.
The dishes are wet and dull. The rinse aid dispenser is emp-
ty.
Fill the rinse aid dispenser with
rinse aid.

INSTALLATION
FITTING UNDER A KITCHEN COUNTER
Warning! Make sure that the mains
plug is disconnected from the mains
socket during installation.
Put the appliance adjacent to a water tap
and to a water drain.
The plinth of a freestanding appliance is not
adjustable.
Do not remove the worktop of the appli-
ance if you want to use it as a freestanding
unit.
Remove the worktop of the appliance to in-
stall it under a kitchen counter (820 mm).
If a repair is necessary, the appliance must
be easily accessible for the engineer.
Make sure that the dimensions of the re-
cess agree with the dimensions in the pic-
ture.
REMOVING THE WORKTOP
1. Remove the rear screws (1).
2. Pull the worktop behind the appliance
(2).
3. Lift the worktop and move it from the
front slots (3).
4. Level the appliance using the adjusta-
ble feet.
5. Install the appliance under the kitchen
counter. Be careful not to bend or
squash the water hoses and the mains
cable.
ADJUSTING THE LEVEL OF THE
APPLIANCE
A correct adjustment of the level of the ap-
pliance allows the door to close and seal
correctly.
westinghouse 17

If the door does not close correctly, loosen
or tighten the adjustable feet to level the ap-
pliance.
WATER CONNECTION
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 recom-
mended 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.
Once connected the inlet hose to the water
tap, turn the tap on and check that there
are no leaks.
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,
refer to 'Technical data'.
Make sure that the local water authority
gives you the average mains pressure in
your area.
Make sure that the water inlet hose is not
bent or squashed.
Fit the hose nut correctly to prevent water
leaks.
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.
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 ex-
ceed 2 metres.
The drain hose must be free of obstruc-
tions.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water
goes back into the appliance.
If you connect the water drain hose to a
trap spigot under the sink, remove the plas-
tic membrane. If you do not remove the
membrane, remaining food can cause a
blockage in the drain hose spigot.
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 incorrect-
ly. Remove the non-return valve.
18 westinghouse

Caution! Make sure that the water
couplings are tight to prevent water
leakage.
Ensure that hoses are not bent or
squashed under or behind the appli-
ance.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Warning!
• The manufacturer accepts no liability
for failure to observe the below safe-
ty precautions.
• Safety standards require the appli-
ance to be earthed.

• If necessary, have the domestic wir-
ing system socket replaced. If the
mains cable has to be replaced, con-
tact your local Customer Care cen-
tre.
• The mains plug must be accessible
after the appliance has been instal-
led.
• Never unplug the appliance by pull-
ing on the cable. Always pull the
