Electrolux Esl 68060 User Manual

							If the handles protrude from the bottom of the
basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent
them from sticking together.
To make loading of the cutlery basket easier,
lower the cutlery basket handle.
For best results we recommend that 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.
The cutlery basket is in two parts which can
be separated to give greater loading flexibili-
ty. To separate the two parts, slide them hor-
izontally in opposite directions and pull them
apart.
To reassemble, reverse the procedure.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for saucers,
salad bowls, cups, glasses, pots and lids.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup
racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

							Glasses with long stems can be placed up-
side down in the cup racks.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded
upwards.
The central rows of prongs can be easily low-
ered to improve loading flexibility.
For glasses with long stems (according to the
size and dimensions), set the glass holder to
the left or right position.
The central rows of prongs can be easily low-
ered to improve loading flexibility.
Mini cutlery basket
The upper basket is supplied with a mini cut-
lery basket.
Caution! NEVER PUT KNIVES IN THE
MINI CUTLERY BASKET. THIS WILL
PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
APPLIANCE.
The mini cutlery basket must only be placed
in the front part of the upper basket, on the
left or on the right side.
12  electrolux
 
						

							The dimensions of the cutlery depend on the
position of the upper basket. Refer to the fol-
lowing table.
Cutlery dimensions for mini cutlery basket
Upper basket in higher
positionmaximum 15 cm
Upper basket in lower
positionmaximum 20 cm
Soft spikes
Soft spikes impede glassware to move dur-
ing the washing cycle or when the upper
basket is moved.
Refer to the figures for a correct positioning
of the soft spikes. For more loading flexibility,
they can be positioned on the left or right-
hand side of the basket.
Once positioned correctly, press them down
firmly and make sure they do not move.
Caution! BEFORE CLOSING THE
DOOR, MAKE SURE THAT THE SPRAY
ARMS CAN ROTATE FREELY.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load
them in the lower basket after moving the
upper basket to the higher position.

							To lower the basket to the original posi-
tion proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then
allow the mechanism to drop back down
slowly, keeping hold of it.
Caution! Never lift or lower the basket
on one side only.
When the basket is in the higher posi-
tion:
• do not load cups on the cup racks,
• make sure that the cup racks are lied
down and not folded upwards.
After loading your machine always
close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically de-
signed for use in dishwashers.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dos-
ing and storage recommendations as
stated on the detergent packaging.
Using no more than the correct amount
of detergent contributes to reducing pol-
lution.
Fill with detergent
1. Open the lid.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (1) with de-
tergent. The marking indicates the dosing
levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent.
1
2
3. All programmes with prewash need an
additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that
must be placed in the prewash detergent
chamber (2).
This detergent will be used during the
prewash phase.
When using detergent tablets; place the
tablet in compartment (1)
14  electrolux
 
						

							4. Close the lid and press until it locks in
place.
Detergent tablets from different manu-
facturers dissolve at different rates. For
this reason, some detergent tablets do
not attain their full cleaning power during
short washing programmes. Therefore,
please use long washing programmes
when using detergent tablets, to ensure
the complete removal of detergent re-
siduals.
Multitab function
This appliance is equipped with the multitab
function, that allows the use of combi deter-
gent tablets.
These products are detergents with a com-
bined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions.
They can also contain other different agents
depending on which kind of tablets you
choose (3 in 1, 4 in 1, 5 in 1 etc.).
Check whether these detergents are suitable
for your water hardness. See the manufac-
turers instructions.
Once this function is selected it will remain
active for all following wash programmes.
The multitab function stops automatically the
flow of rinse aid and salt. The salt and rinse
aid messages are deactivated.
The programme duration can increase if you
use the multitab function.
Activate or deactivate the multitab func-
tion before the start of a washing pro-
gramme. You cannot activate or deacti-
vate the multitab function when the pro-
gramme operates.
If the drying results are not satisfactory
we suggest that you:
1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with
rinse aid.
2. Activate the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Set the rinse aid dosage to position
2.
If you decide to revert back to the use of
individual detergents we advise that you:
1. Deactivate the multitab function.
2. Fill up the dispensers for salt and
rinse aid again.
3. Adjust the water hardness setting to
the highest setting and perform 1
normal washing programme without
loading any dishes.
4. Adjust the water hardness setting
according to the hardness of the wa-
ter in your area.
5. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

Leave the door ajar and wait a few mi-
nutes before removing the dishes. This
way they will be cooler and the drying will
be improved
If the save energy function is set, dishes
can be wet once the programme finish-
ed. We recommend to leave the appli-
ance door ajar so that dishes can dry
naturally.
Unloading the dishwasher
• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The
dishes should therefore be allowed to cool
down before removing from the appliance.
•Empty the lower basket first and then the
upper one; this will avoid water dripping
from the upper basket onto the dishes in
the lower one.
• Water may appear on the sides and the
door of the dishwasher as the stainlesssteel will eventually become cooler than
the dishes.
When the washing programme has
finished, it is recommended that the
dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.

1) For programmes where option has an impact, the energy save is between 10% and 25%.
2) During the AUTOMATIC washing programme the level of soiling on the dishes is determined by how
cloudy the water is. The programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary; this
depends upon whether the appliance is fully or partially loaded and if the dishes are lightly or heavily
soiled. The temperature of the water is automatically adjusted between 45°C and 70°C.
3) Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet
the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.
4) Test programme for test institutes.

Care and cleaning
Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and cleaned
from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the
washing result.
Warning! Before cleaning the filters
ensure that the machine is switched off.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a
coarse filter ( A ), a microfilter ( B ) and a
flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the
handle on the microfilter.
3. Turn the handle about 1/4 a turn anti-
clockwise and remove the filter system
4. Take hold of the coarse filter ( A ) by the
handle with the hole and remove from the
microfilter ( B ).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running
water.
6. Remove the flat filter from the base of the
washing compartment and clean both
faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the
washing compartment and ensure that it
fits perfectly.
8. Place the coarse filter ( A ) in the microfil-
ter ( B ) and press together.
9. Put the filter combination in place and
lock by turning the handle clockwise to
the stop. During this process ensure that
the flat filter does not protrude above the
base of the washing compartment.
NEVER use the dishwasher without
filters. Incorrect repositioning and
fitting of the filters will produce poor
washing results and will result in
damage to the appliance.
NEVER try to remove the spray
arms.
If residues of soil have clogged the holes
in the spray arms, remove the debris
with a cocktail stick.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine
and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If
necessary use only neutral detergents. Never
use abrasive products, scouring pads or sol-
vent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc...).
Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are
cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months you run the
wash programme for heavy soiled dishes us-
ing detergent but without dishes.
