Quick setup

Follow these easy steps to get your Electrolux FAVORIT 86080 Vi Dishwasher up and running in no time.

1

Setting the Water Softener

The water softener must be set manually and electronically to avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher. To set it manually, open the dishwasher door, remove the lower basket, and turn the water hardness dial on the left wall of the dishwasher interior to the appropriate setting based on your water hardness level. For electronic setting, follow the instructions specific to your model.

2

Filling Up with Special Salt

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, and if not using 3in1 detergent, fill the salt dispenser with special salt. Open the door, remove the lower basket, and unscrew the lid on the salt dispenser by turning it anti-clockwise. Fill the dispenser with water only the first time, add special salt, clean any remnants, and then screw the lid back on clockwise. Run a dishwashing cycle to wash away any spilled salt water and salt crystals.

3

Filling Up with Rinse Aid

Before the first use and when the rinse aid control indicator is illuminated, fill up with rinse aid to ensure smear-free, gleaming dishes and clear glasses. Locate the rinse aid dispenser, open the lid, and fill it with rinse aid until the indicator shows it is full. Close the lid securely.
