First launch - what needs to be taken care of

Before putting a new Electrolux dishwasher into operation, you must:

• read the instruction manual;
• check the correctness of the connection to the electrical network, water supply and sewerage;
• remove the inner packaging and shipping bolts, if any;
• adjust the water softener;
• pour 1 liter of water into the salt reservoir, then add the same special salt for dishwashers;
• fill the rinse aid dispenser.

If everything is very clear on the first three points, then it is necessary to dwell on the following in more detail.

Setting up the water softener

The hardness of water depends on the amount of minerals and salts it contains, and the more there are, the higher the hardness. The successful and trouble-free operation of the dishwasher largely depends on this indicator, because salt and minerals contained in water are negatively reflected in all structural elements devices. It is to reduce this negative effect that a water softener is provided in the design of the dishwasher.

The level of hardness in different regions is different, so you can find out about its value in the water supply organization or submit a water sample for analysis to a special laboratory capable of performing this operation. As a rule, the operating instructions contain a table for setting the water softener in accordance with its hardness. The setting can be done manually or in automatic mode - how to do this is described in the instructions for a specific model.

Refueling with special salt

For use in dishwashers, only special salt intended for this purpose is used. 1 liter of water is poured into the salt reservoir (this is done only when the machine is first started), after which the salt is poured. It must completely fill this reservoir, after which it closes, and the device is ready for further preparation for operation.

Adding rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to prevent stains and streaks on the dishes after drying. This operation is performed after adding salt. The rinse aid is poured into a container specially designed for it. The amount of liquid to be poured is adjusted according to the marks located on the body of the device.

To change the amount of rinse aid entering the working chamber, there is a special switch on the control panel that regulates this amount. The setting of the operating mode for different models may differ, therefore, for the correct adjustment of this element, it is necessary to read the operating instructions for a particular model.
