Dear customer!

Before you operate your dishwasher, please read through these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for your safety as well as operation and maintenance of your machine. For this small trouble, your dishwasher will reward you with faultless performance.

Should your dishwasher ever have a fault, please look it up in the section on "If you think your dishwasher is not working properly”. In many cases, you can rectify minor faults yourself and thus save yourself unnecessary service costs.

Keep the operating instructions in a safe place for future reference, and give them to any future owners of your dishwasher.

The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to accepted rules of techno logy and the Appliance Safety Act. We as manufacturers, however, see ourselves as being obliged to femiiiarise you with the foliowing safety instructions.

Using your dishwasher for Its intended purpose

□ Only use your dishwasher for machine washing of househoid crockery. If your

machine is misused or used for any purposes other than that for which it is intended, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused.

vyay.

Your dishwater in day-to-day use

□ The water protection system ensures reliable protection against water damage,

though this implies the fbllovwng conditions being iutfilled:

- The mains connection must be retained even when your dishwasher is switched off.

- Your dishwasher must be properly installed.

- Always turn off the water tap if your dishwasher is left unattended for any length of time,

□ Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, supply or drain

hose, control panel, worktop, or plinth are damaged.

□ In case of a fault, first turn off the water tap. Then switch off your machine and

pull the plug out of the plug socket. Jf there is a fixed connection, switch offer unscrew the fuse(s).

□ Never pull the plug out of the plug socket by the supply lead, biit by the plug

itself.

□ Dishwasher repairs should only be performed by trained personnel, improper

repairs may seriously endanger the user, if your dishwasher needs to be repaired, you should contact our service centre or your retailer.

□ If the connection lead of your dishwasher is damaged, it must be replaced by

the special lead through your AEG-authorised service centre. □ Never place any solvents in your dishwasher, or you may cause an explosion! □ Do not rest or sit on the open door, or you machine could tilt. □ The heating elements on the floor of the dishwasher remain hot for some time

after machine washing. Take care you do not scald yourself! Do not touch the

heating elements. □ Before using special dishwasher salt, detergent, and rinse aid, make sure that

the manufacturer of these products expressly specifies their Use in domestic

dishwashers. □ The high temperature in the immediate vicinity of the heating element may

deform or even melt plastic parts. Do not arrange any plastic parts in the lower

basket above the heating element. □ Always turn off the water tap when your dishwasher is left unattended for any

length of time, e.g. when you are away on holiday. □ The dishwasher should only be transported upright. Any tilting during trans

port may lead to salt water flowing into the dishwasher, which could result in

rusting.

Disposing of the packaging

Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always confine ourseives here to what is absoiuteiy necessary.

Aii used packaging materials are environmentaliy ffiendiy and reusabie.

The cardboard parts are produced from recycied paper, and the wood parts are

untreated. The piastics are marked as foliows: >PE< for poiyethyiehe, e.g. packaging fbiis >PS< for poiystyrene, e.g. padding (basicaiiy CFC-free) >POM< for poiyoxymethyiene, e.g. plastic ciamps

By recycling and reuse of the packaging, raw materials can be saved and the volume of refuse reduced. -

Give the packaging for reuse to your local recycling centre. Your municipal or local authority will give you its address.

Disposing of your old machine

When your machine needs replacing and you withdraw it from service, you should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of.

Marking of plastic parts for graded recycling: All plastic parts in your machine are marked with internationally standardised abbreviations (e.g. >PS< for polystyrene). When your machine is disposed of, this enables plastic waste to be sorted into individual types for. environmentally conscious recycling.

Take your decommissioned machine to your local recycling centre or dealer, who will take it back from you for a small handling charge.

operating your dishwasher economicaliy and with regard

for the environment

Connect your dishwasher to the hot water supply if you have a modern hot water

system. For electrically heated installations, you are recommended te connect

your dishwasher to the cold water supply.

Do not pre-rinse your dishes under running water.

Collect your dirty dishes, stack them in the dishwasher, and only wash them when

both baskets are liiil, making sure that the latter are never overloaded. Only then can you be sure that you are machine-washing economically and with regard for the environment.

Always select the programme corresponding to the type of crockery and degree of soiling (see “Programme chart“).

Never overdose detergent, special salt, and rinse aid. Follow the dosage recom mendations in these operating instructions as well as the instructions given by

manufacturers of these products.

Make sure that the water softener is correctly set.

Unsuitable crockery

Sponges, household cloths, and all objects which can become saturated with water should not be cleaned in your dishwasher.

The following are unsuitable for machine washing:

- wooden boards or platters

- non-heat-resistant plastic parts

- lead crystal glass

- tin or copper items

- glued crockery or cutlery

- older types of cutlery with temperature-sensitive adhesive

- steel knives that are liable to rust

- cutlery with wood, horn, porcelain, and mother-of-pearl handles.

Crockery that may be suitable for your dishwasher

The following items have certain machine washing limitations;

- Only wash earthenware crockery in your dishwasher if the manufacturer has

expressly indicated it as being suitable for that purpose.

- Some types of decoration which have been painted over the glaze may fede

after frequent machine washing.

- Silver and aluminium parts tend to discolour during machine washing.

- Many food residues, such as egg white, egg yolk, mustard, often cause

discolouratfons or staining on silver. Silver crockery and cutlery should there fore always be cleaned free from food residues if they are not washed imme diately after a meal. ’

- Some types of glass may become cloudy after many washing cycles. You should

therefore continue to hand-wash especially valuable glassware.

When buying new crockery and cutlery, confirm that they are dishwasher-safe.
