User manual AEG-ELECTROLUX ESF242

[. . . ] Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electrical supply, by unplugging the power cord or removing the fuse. Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible stopcock. The power cord must be plugged into an earthed socket, which need to be easily accessible. Permanent installation must only be carried out by an authorized electrician. [. . . ] Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash programme. Do not fill the rinse conditioner dispenser with liquid detergent. Water softener 6 This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard water, therefore shall the rinse aid dispenser be set for a low dosage. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher. To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special container where the hardness is removed. Since the water softener uses coarse dishwasher salt, you will have to refill the salt container after a certain number of dishwashing cycles. It is important to fill the compartment with coarse dishwasher salt before using the machine for the first time, if you live in an area where the water is calciferous. The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the container requires refilling. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise. Fill the salt container with water (only the first time). Fill the container with coarse salt, using the funnel supplied. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage around the filler opening. China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may not be suitable for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic handles.
