Starting A Washing Programme - Electrolux ESL 6185 Instruction Book

Starting a washing programme

In this fully integrated appliance the controls are located on the
top of the door. When selecting a programme, the door needs
to be open.
1. Check that the baskets have been
loaded correctly and that the spray
arms can rotate freely
2. Turn on the water tap
3. Press the On/Off button
4. Setting and starting the programme
a) Press the programme selection button until the
name of the desired programme is displayed (see
"Washing programmes" chart for the selection of the
washing programme). The details concerning the set
programme (programme name, duration, etc...) are
displayed.
Select, if desired, options and/or delay start.
Press the confirm/start button.
Close the door, the set programme will start
automatically.
b) If the "delay start" has been set,
the countdown will start automatically and will
decrease with steps of 1 hour. Only in the last hour the
decrease will occur from minute to minute.
Opening the door will not modify or interrupt the
countdown. Once the delay start has elapsed the
programme will start automatically.
Once the washing programme has started, a point-shaped
optical signal appears on the floor beneath the
dishwasher's door. This optical signal will remain
illuminated for all the duration of the washing programme.
If the appliance has been installed higher up with a
furniture door mounted flush, the optical signal will be no
longer visible.
5. To interrupt a wash programme in
progress
Interrupt a wash programme in progress ONLY if it's
absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened. Open the door carefully.
Open the dishwasher's door, the programme will stop. The
message PLEASE CLOSE DOOR is displayed. Close the
door, the programme will start from the point in which it
was interrupted.
6. To cancel a programme or a delay
start in progress
Open the dishwasher's door.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is
opened during the running of a wash programme.
Open the door carefully.
Press simultaneously both confirm/start and option
selection buttons.
The message CONFIRM CANCEL? appears in the
display.
Press the confirm/start button.
The dishwasher returns to setting mode and in the display
will appear the message CHOOSE PROGRAMME.
If a delay start is cancelled, also the set programme will be
cancelled. In this case the washing programme has to be
set again.
(If a new washing programme will be selected, check that
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser).
7. End of washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and an audible
signal informs you of the end of the washing programme.
When the washing programme has ended, the optical
signal on the floor beneath the dishwasher's door will turn
off. Open the dishwasher door only when this optical
signal turns off.
If the door is not immediately opened at the end of the
programme, air will circulate inside the dishwasher to
prevent residual steam recondensing on the dishes as
water droplets.
This device operates intermittently for about 20
minutes, as long as the dishwasher is switched on.
If the On/Off button is pressed or the door is opened
during these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically
cancelled.
Hot steam may escape from the appliance when opening
the door immediately after the end of the programme,
therefore, open the door carefully.
The message END OF PROGRAMME alternated with
PLEASE SWITCH OFF is displayed.
In case refilling with salt and/or rinse aid is necessary, the
message PLEASE SWITCH OFF is replaced with the salt
and rinse aid refilling messages. If refilling is postponed, it
is possible, however, to switch off the appliance.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
8. 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 stainless steel 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.
