Electrolux KEQC7200L - User Manual

The Electrolux KEQC7200L is a household-type dishwasher designed for cleaning dishes and tableware in an indoor environment. It features a water softener system that removes minerals from the water supply, which helps prevent limescale buildup and improves washing results. The appliance uses a Beam-on-Floor light projection to indicate its operational status: a red light signifies a running program, and a green light indicates program completion. In case of a malfunction, the red light flashes.

The dishwasher offers various programs and customizable settings to suit different needs. The MY TIME selection bar allows users to choose programs based on duration, ranging from a quick 30-minute wash for lightly soiled items to a 2-hour 40-minute program for heavily soiled items. The ECO program is the longest but most energy and water-efficient for normally soiled loads. An AUTO Sense program automatically adjusts the wash cycle based on the degree of soil and the amount of dishes, optimizing temperature, water quantity, and wash duration.

The appliance also includes EXTRAS options to enhance washing results. ExtraPower increases wash temperature and duration for improved cleaning, while GlassCare prevents damage to delicate items by preventing rapid temperature changes and reducing the wash temperature to 45 °C.

A key feature is the ECOMETER, which visually indicates the energy and water consumption impact of the selected program. More bars on the ECOMETER signify lower consumption. The ECO indicator specifically highlights the most environmentally friendly program for normally soiled dishwashing.

For drying, the AirDry function automatically opens the appliance door during the drying phase to improve results. The duration of the drying phase and door opening time vary by program and selected options.

Usage Features

To operate the dishwasher, users first need to ensure the water softener level is set correctly according to local water hardness, fill the salt container, and fill the rinse aid dispenser. Detergent, either powder or tablets, is added to a dedicated compartment, with an option for a small quantity on the inner part of the door for prewash phases.

The control panel includes an On/Off / Reset button, Delay Start button, a display, the MY TIME selection bar, EXTRAS buttons, and an AUTO Sense program button. The display shows the ECOMETER, various indicators (rinse aid, salt, machine care), and a time indicator.

Programs can be selected by sliding a finger across the MY TIME bar. The selected program's light turns on, and the ECOMETER updates to show its consumption impact. EXTRAS can be activated after program selection. The Delay Start function allows users to postpone the program start from 1 to 24 hours.

The appliance can be activated by pressing and holding the On/Off button. To start a program, the appliance door must be closed. If the door is opened during a running program, the appliance pauses and resumes from the point of interruption once the door is closed. However, if the door is opened for more than 30 seconds during the drying phase (unless by AirDry), the program ends. The Auto Off function automatically switches off the appliance after program completion or after 5 minutes of inactivity if a program was not started.

Loading the baskets correctly is crucial for optimal results. Hollow items should be placed with openings facing downwards, and items should not touch or cover each other. Light or plastic items should be secured in the upper basket to prevent movement.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential for the dishwasher's performance. The manual recommends cleaning the appliance interior with a soft damp cloth and avoiding abrasive products or strong chemicals. The door, including the rubber gasket, should be wiped clean weekly.

The Machine Care program is specifically designed for internal cleaning, removing limescale and grease buildup. The Machine Care indicator illuminates when this program is needed. Before running Machine Care, users should clean the filters and spray arms. A descaler or cleaning product designed for dishwashers should be used, without any dishes in the baskets.

The filter system, consisting of three parts, needs regular cleaning. Users are instructed to disassemble the filters by turning them counterclockwise, remove any foreign objects, wash the filters, and then reassemble them correctly, ensuring the flat filter is positioned under its guides and the main filter is locked clockwise.

The lower and upper spray arms also require cleaning to prevent clogged holes, which can negatively affect washing results. The lower spray arm can be removed by pulling it upwards, while the upper spray arm should not be removed. Particles of soil can be removed from the spray arm holes using a thin pointed tool like a toothpick.

The salt container and rinse aid dispenser need refilling when their respective indicators turn on. The salt container should be filled with rough salt designed for dishwashers, and water should be added only for the first time. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled up to the 'max' level, and any spills should be wiped away. The quantity of rinse aid released can be adjusted.

In case of problems, the manual provides a troubleshooting guide with possible causes and solutions, including alarm codes displayed on the appliance. For issues not covered or persistent problems, users are advised to contact an Authorised Service Centre, providing the product number code (PNC) found on the rating plate.
