Electrolux ESL 6114 manual Before use, Before using your dishwasher for the first time

Before use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1.Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

2.Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3.Set the water softener

4.Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt

5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

6.Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.

Setting the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

Filling with salt

Attention!

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting a washing programme. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1.To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.

2.Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).

The 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.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

3.Using the funnel (if provided), pour in the salt until the container is full. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

4.Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5.Screw on the cap tightly.

The salt container will require topping up periodically. According to the model, an indicator reminds you when filling with salt:

	(°TH)	Million)
0 - 6	0 - 8	0 - 80	0	NO
7 - 14	9 - 20	81 - 200	1	YES
15 - 28	21 - 40	201 - 400	2	YES
29 - 42	41 - 60	401 - 600	3	YES
43 - 56	61 - 80	601 - 800	4	YES
57 - 63	81 - 90	801 - 900	5	YES

Only for dishwasher models with salt refill indicator light:

A)The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container, and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt.

B)A salt indicator light on the control panel will come on when the salt has finished.

SR11

if the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 without use of salt, the salt refill indicator light on the control panel will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.

To adjust the water softener

With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine until the level

required corresponds with the marker.

The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer.

The function of the machine is not affected..
