Electrolux BW450 - Programme Chart; Detergent Dispenser; Rinse-Aid Dispenser

7. Programme chart
The programmes are listed on the control panel of your dishwasher. They
correspond with the programme selector dial and are explained in more detail
on page 16 under ‘Programme and Sequence Chart’.
8. Upper dish rack
The upper dish rack is for cups, glassware, small plates, bowls and the like. It
has two sets of wheels which enable it to be placed in the dishwasher in one
of two alternative positions, depending on the articles to be washed. To
remove the upper dishrack, remove the stops (11) by pulling the bottom
towards you and then lifting off, and then remove the dish rack. When
replacing the dish rack don’t forget to refit the stops. The rack is fitted with a
flap which is used for holding cups.
9. Lower dish rack
The lower dish rack is for heavier items such as large plates and dishes. The
removable cutlery basket ( 1 0 ) is located in the front row as shown in the
illustration on page 10 or it can be completely removed to make room for
large items such as saucepans. When placing cutlery in the cutlery basket, do
not mix silver and stainless steel items, in the same section. Always place
items of cutlery with the handles downmost. See that spoons do not rest
together, and that slender items cannot protrude through the openings in the
bottom and sides of the basket to foul the spray arms.
If washing bulky items or saucepans in the lower dish rack, the upper spray
arm can be reversed (see item 15).
12. Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has a spring loaded flap which can be opened by
gently pushing the release button. Once it is released, the flap will spring
completely open. To reset, simply close the flap. The flap will now be held
in the closed position. At the appropriate time during the wash cycle, the flap
will be automatically released to uncover the detergent which is then washed
into the machine. The quantity of detergent to be loaded depends on the
degree of soiling and the type of load you are washing. On average, we
recommend 2 tablespoons (15 grams) if you have to wash normally soiled
dishes, and up to 3 tablespoons (20 grams) for heavily soiled dishes. Place
the appropriate amount of detergent into the dispenser and then close the lid.
Liquid detergent can also be used in the dispenser - read manufacturer’s
instructions carefully. However, under no circumstances should normal
washing up liquid be used.
13. Rinse-aid dispenser
Rinse-aid is a liquid agent which reduces the surface tension of the water so
that it readily runs off of the articles being rinsed instead of forming droplets
which could leave white spots or streaks after drying. The rinse-aid dispenser
automatically injects the rinse-aid into the machine during the final rinse.
14. Rinse-aid level indicator
The indicator is situated on the left hand side of the detergent dispenser and is
marked ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’. The pointer indicates how much rinse-aid is in
the dispenser.
