7 Operating Instructions
Child Lock Controls/ Air Dry
To prevent children from accidentally changing or
starting a dishwasher cycle, lock the dishwasher
controls by pressing the AIR DRY icon for at least 3
seconds then release. The LOCKED indicator light
will illuminate when the controls are locked. Then
no new selections can be made and dishwasher
will not operate until the lock is released. To unlock
the controls, again press the AIR DRY icon for 3
seconds and release.
Sanitize
To sanitize your dishes, glassware and silverware
select the SANITIZE option available on the Auto,
Heavy, and Normal cycles. Only these cycles offer
the option to meet NSF Sanitization requirements.
When the Sanitize option is selected an LED above
the icon resembling a thermometer will illuminate.
The unit will then drive the water to higher
temperatures, up to about 155°F (68.3°C) in the final
rinse, and maintain that temperature for 7 minutes.
Sanitization is accomplished when the water
reaches a set temperature and the dishware is
assured to have achieved a specific temperature
and amount of heat input.
When the sanitized option is selected the
dishwasher will complete the cycle. However, the
sanitization LED, located in the center of the
keypad, will only light at the end of the cycle if ALL
of the NSF criteria are met.
OPERATION SELECTIONS
Delay Start
The dishwasher start can be delayed 2, 4, or 6
hours from the time the cycle is initiated. Make
cycle selections, press the DELAY START key until
the desired delay LED is it, then close the door and
the cycle will start.
To cancel the delay and start the cycle before the
delay period is over, open the door and press the
START/CANCEL key. Close the door and the cycle
will start.
Start/Cancel
To start a cycle, press the START/CANCEL key
once and close the door. To cancel when a cycle is
running, open the door and press the START/
CANCEL key once. Close the door again and the
dishwasher will drain and shut off.
Failure to reach sanitization may mean that the
cycle was interrupted due to power loss or the
opening of the dishwasher’s door during the final
rinse. Another possibility is a failure to reach
temperature which might occur if the incoming
water is too cold. Within limits, the unit
automatically adjusts for variations in water supply
temperature and so this will not normally occur.
NOTE
Opening the door during normal operation will
only pause the selected cycle.
Error Indications
Your unit monitors wash parameters and compo-
nent communications. If any event or failure occurs
that might prevent proper machine function or safe
operation the unit will shut down and indicate an
error by flashing all indicator lights. If the lights are
flashing contact the Electrolux Customer Care
Center at
1-877-435-3287 . They will be able to
provide assistance in troubleshooting the problem
and/or locating an authorized service technician, if
needed.
Possible errors are detailed on page 20. In the
case of an error, an LED on the bottom control
board in the base of your unit will further indicate
the root cause for error as shown on page 21.
Automatic Overflow Correction and
Prevention
During the entire cycle your dishwasher watches for
high water level. In the rare instance that correction
is needed, it will pause the cycle, drain (often a few
seconds is sufficient) then resume the cycle.
If corrective draining continues for 90 seconds
without lowering the water level your unit will stop
the cycle and initiate error 16 (Float switch stuck/
Drain clogged).
If the water level must be corrected 7 times during
a cycle, your unit will stop the cycle and initiate
error 15 (Stuck water valve). It will then periodically
run the drain pump to prevent flooding until some-
one arrives to clear the error and turn off the water.
