Wash Cycles; Regeneration Cycle - Electrolux EL1 Series User Manual

• Cycle III
For very dirty dishes: press button Wash cycle 3 (see table
of times).
• To stop the wash cycle, just press the selected cycle button
or open the door.
• To continue the wash cycle, press the cycle button again or
close the door. The cycle starts again from where it was
stopped.
• At the end of the wash, the dishwasher emits a series of
beeps and the message "END" blinks on the display:
• Open the door and remove the rack containing the clean
dishes.
CAUTION
The use of "foaming/nonspecific" deter-
gents or in any case detergents used in
different ways from that prescribed by the
manufacturer, can cause damage to the
dishwasher and compromise the washing
results.
NOTE!
To obtain excellence washing performance, use
detergent, rinse aid and descaling agent sug-
gested by Electrolux Professional. In the Electrolux
Professional web site, open the "Accessories and
Consumables" web page and navigate into the
dishwashing equipment tab to order most suitable
detergents and accessories.

Wash cycles

The wash cycle includes one wash with hot water and
detergent (min 55℃ [131℉]) and one rinse with hot water and
rinse-aid (min 82 ℃ [180℉]).
NOTE!
ELA3GTL and ELA3GTL6 models are designed to
guarantee thermal sanitization with a temperature
of 71℃ [160℉] reached at tableware surface when
operating continuously, loaded at 70% of nominal
productivity (i.e. racks slightly spaced). Since the
performance depends on the load and environ-
mental and water feed condition, before starting
washing operations it is suggested to test (using
71℃ [160℉] thermal labels) a full-load rack to
confirm the effectiveness of parameters; in case of
test failure, a lower speed washing cycle must be
set and the test repeated.

NOTE!
Standard cycle time may vary should the inlet
water temperature and/or the boiler heating ele-
ments be different from that indicated above.
A device lengthens the cycle time if the water in the boiler has
not reached the minimum temperature for correct rinsing.
The cycle times and the temperature may be personalised (e.g.
increase of the rinse time and temperature). The cycle times
should only be set by a specialised personnel.

Regeneration cycle

To reduce problems caused by the presence of calcareous
substances in the water supply, a water softener device has
been fitted in the rinse circuit of the dishwasher. This device
removes the calcareous substances from the feed-water,
supplying decalcified water necessary for the washing.
For the correct operation of the water softener, the periodical
regeneration of the resins, whose frequency depends on the
number of washing cycles and water hardness, must be
carried out.
This dishwasher has a built-in counter which keeps track of
how many wash cycles can be carried out before a regener-
ation cycle must take place.
The relevant water supply company will be able to provide all
the instructions regarding the water hardness.
