Need help?Do you have a question about the Electrolux ESL4201LO and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for the Electrolux ESL4201LO dishwasher, providing comprehensive instructions for its safe installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Electrolux ESL4201LO is a household dishwasher designed to clean crockery, cutlery, pots, and pans. It operates by spraying water and detergent onto dishes, followed by rinsing and drying cycles. The appliance features a water softener system to remove minerals from the water supply, which is crucial for optimal washing results and to prevent limescale buildup. It also includes a rinse aid dispenser to improve drying performance and prevent water spots. The dishwasher offers various programmes tailored to different soil levels and load types, including an ECO programme for efficient water and energy consumption, and a quick rinse programme for dishes with fresh soil or to prevent odours.
The dishwasher is designed for ease of use with a straightforward control panel featuring an on/off button, programme indicators, and a programme button. Users can select from several programmes, each optimized for specific washing needs. The appliance has a user mode that allows for customization of settings such as the water softener level, activation/deactivation of the end-of-programme acoustic signal, and the AirDry function.
The AirDry function is a key feature that enhances drying results while reducing energy consumption. It automatically opens the appliance door during the drying phase to allow air circulation. However, for households with children, it is advised to deactivate this function if the open door poses a safety risk.
Loading the dishwasher correctly is emphasized to ensure optimal cleaning. Users are advised to remove large food residues, avoid pre-rinsing by hand, and ensure that items do not obstruct the spray arms. Cutlery should be placed with sharp ends pointing down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in the cutlery drawer. The manual also provides guidance on using different types of detergents, including standard detergents and multi-tabs, and explains how to adjust the water softener and rinse aid dispenser settings accordingly. When using multi-tabs that contain salt and rinse aid, users are instructed not to fill the separate salt and rinse aid dispensers.
The appliance provides acoustic signals for malfunctions and at the completion of a programme, which can be activated or deactivated by the user. The manual also outlines the procedure for starting and cancelling a programme, and what happens if the door is opened during operation.
Regular maintenance is essential for the dishwasher's performance and longevity. The manual details how to clean the filter system, which consists of three parts, to prevent decreased washing results. It also advises on cleaning the spray arms by removing any soil that may clog the holes.
For external cleaning, users should use a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents, avoiding abrasive products or solvents. Internal cleaning involves carefully wiping the appliance, including the rubber gasket of the door, with a soft damp cloth. To prevent grease and limescale deposits, especially with frequent use of short programmes, it is recommended to run longer programmes at least twice a month and to use a specific dishwasher cleaning product monthly.
The manual also provides troubleshooting information for common issues, such as the programme not starting, the appliance not filling or draining water, or unsatisfactory washing and drying results. It guides users on checking basic elements like the water tap, mains plug, filters, and detergent levels before contacting an Authorized Service Centre. Instructions are given on how to adjust the water softener and rinse aid levels to address issues like whitish streaks or water spots on dishes. The importance of using only dishwasher-safe items and proper loading techniques is reiterated to prevent damage to tableware and ensure effective cleaning.
