1)With this programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. (This is the standard programme for test institutes).

2)The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets . It automatically adjusts the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.

3)With this programme you can wash a load with mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower basket and normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and the temperature of the water in the lower basket are higher than in the upper basket.

4)This programme has a high temperature rinsing phase for better hygiene results. During the rinsing phase, the temperature stays at 70 °C for at least 10 minutes.

5)If you set the condition Fast, the option ProBoost is automatically deactivated.

6)With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.

7)This is the most silent programme. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise. Because of the low speed, the programme duration is long.

8)With this programme you can quickly rinse dishes to prevent remains of food to bond on dishes and odours to form in the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.

8.1 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have

14 www.aeg.com

a detrimental effect on the washing results and on the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales.

The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in

your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. It is important to set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results.

2.Close the water tap.

•When loading the appliance, make sure that the dishes can be completely reached and washed by the water released from the spray arm nozzles. Make sure that items do not touch or cover each other.

•You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'', ''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the instructions written on the packaging. Multi-tablets are usually suitable in areas with a water hardness up to 21 °dH. In areas exceeding this limit, rinse aid and salt must also be used.

18www.aeg.com

•Select the programme according to the type of load and degree of soil. With the ECO programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil.

10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

•Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.

•Multi-tablets are usually suitable in areas with a water hardness up to 21 °dH. In areas exceeding this limit, rinse aid and salt must be used in addition to the multi-tablets. However, in areas with hard and very hard water we recommend to use solo-detergent (powder, gel, tablets without additional functions), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.

•Rinse aid dispensing can be deactivated when using multi-tablets, but we recommend to always use rinse aid for better drying performance.

The water softener level can also be set to the lowest value when using multi-tablets and the water hardness level is lower than 21dH.

•Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets with long programmes.

•Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

10.3What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets

Before you start to use separately detergent, salt and rinse aid do the following procedure.

1.Set the highest level of the water softener.

2.Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are full.

3.Start the shortest programme with a rinsing phase. Do not add detergent and do not load the baskets.

4.When the programme is completed, adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.

5.Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.

6.Activate the rinse aid dispenser.

10.4 Loading the baskets

•Only use the appliance to wash items that are dishwasher-safe.

•Do not put in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.

•Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).

•Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into the waste bin.

•Make soft the remaining burned food on the items.

•Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening down.

•Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.

•Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery drawer.

•Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move.

•Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme.

10.5 Before starting a programme

Make sure that:

•The filters are clean and correctly installed.

•The cap of the salt container is tight.

•The spray arms are not clogged.

•There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid (unless you use multitablets).

•The position of the items in the baskets is correct.

•The programme is applicable for the type of load and for the degree of soil.

•The correct quantity of detergent is used.

10.6 Unloading the baskets

1.Let the tableware cool down before you remove it from the appliance. Hot items can be easily damaged.

2.First remove items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket.

11.CARE AND CLEANING
