Do you have a question about the Electrolux ESS87300SX and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

This document describes a dishwasher, model ESS87300SX / ESS87300SW, designed for household use to clean dishes and tableware. It emphasizes safety, proper installation, and efficient operation to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results while protecting the environment.

Function Description

The dishwasher is equipped with various programs and options to cater to different loads and soil levels. It features a water softener system that removes minerals from the water supply, crucial for preventing limescale buildup and ensuring good washing results, especially in areas with hard water. The water softener needs to be adjusted according to local water hardness and requires regular refilling of dishwasher salt.

For drying, the appliance incorporates an AirDry function, which automatically opens the door during the drying phase to improve drying results and reduce energy consumption. A Beam-on-Floor light projects onto the floor below the door, indicating the program status: red when running and green when completed. It also flashes red in case of a malfunction.

The control panel includes an on/off button, a display, program selection, an AUTO program button, and a delay button. Indicators for salt and rinse aid alert the user when these consumables need refilling.

Usage Features

Before first use, users must ensure the water softener level is correctly set, fill the salt container, fill the rinse aid dispenser, and open the water tap. It is recommended to run a short program without detergent or dishes to remove any processing residuals.

To operate, users load the baskets, add detergent, and select a program. The appliance offers a range of programs, including ECO for efficient use of water and energy, programs for normal to heavy soil, quick washes, and a Rinse Hold program for pre-rinsing. An AUTO program senses the degree of soil and quantity of items, automatically adjusting temperature, water quantity, energy consumption, and duration.

Several options can be activated to enhance washing results:

  • Extra Hygiene: Maintains a higher temperature during the last rinsing phase for improved cleaning.
  • Extra Power: Increases wash temperature and duration for better dishwashing results.
  • Glass Care: Protects delicate items by preventing rapid temperature changes and reducing the wash temperature to 45 °C.

The dishwasher also supports a delay start function, allowing users to postpone the program start for up to 24 hours. Opening the door during a running program pauses the appliance, which resumes after the door is closed. However, opening the door for more than 30 seconds during the drying phase (unless by AirDry) will end the program.

Acoustic signals indicate malfunctions, and an optional signal can be activated for program completion. The AirDry function, while beneficial for drying, can be deactivated if children have access to the appliance, as the automatic door opening may pose a danger.

Maintenance Features

Regular care and cleaning are essential for maintaining the appliance's performance and longevity.

  • Internal Cleaning: The interior should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth, avoiding abrasive products or strong chemicals. The door, including the rubber gasket, should be wiped weekly. A cleaning product designed for dishwashers should be used at least every two months, preferably with the automatic cleaning program, to remove limescale and grease buildup. Running long-duration programs twice a month is also recommended to prevent buildup.
  • Filter Cleaning: The filter system, consisting of three parts, should be checked and cleaned after each use to prevent foreign objects from decreasing cleaning performance or damaging the drain pump. The filters are easily disassembled, washed under running water, and reassembled.
  • Spray Arm Cleaning: The lower and upper spray arms should be cleaned regularly to prevent soil from clogging the holes, which can lead to unsatisfactory washing results. They can be removed, washed under running water, and any particles removed with a thin pointed tool. The ceiling spray arm also requires similar cleaning.
  • External Cleaning: The appliance exterior should be cleaned with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents, avoiding abrasive products.

The manual also provides troubleshooting guidance for common issues, such as the appliance not activating, programs not starting, water filling or draining problems, and unsatisfactory washing or drying results. It advises users to check basic conditions like power supply, water tap, filters, and proper loading before contacting an Authorized Service Centre. For problems with alarm codes not listed, or if issues persist after troubleshooting, users are instructed to contact customer support.
