Operating Instructions
• Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water
inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or
plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely
accessible.
• If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead,
the cable (obtainable from AEG Service Force) must be replaced by a
service engineer authorised by AEG.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the
plug.
• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for
safety reasons.
• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not
being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping
over the open door and hurting themselves.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
• Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be
positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
• When finished loading or unloading, close the door as an open door
can be a hazard.
Correct Use
• Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is
used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer cannot accept any liability for any damage caused.
• Only use detergents specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers.
• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explosion!
• The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against damage due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following
preconditions must be met:
– The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is
switched off.
– The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
– Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is
not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on holiday.
• Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.

Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips with which the dish
racks are secured for transport.
Then perform the following steps:
0 1. Adjust the water softener
2. Fill with Salt for the Water Softener
3. Fill with Rinse Aid
Adjusting the water softener
To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes
must be washed with soft water i.e. low lime content. The dishwasher
therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water from a
hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid of special
salt.
Your water supplier will be able to inform you about the hardness
3
range of the water in your area.
The water softener can be set to any of 5 settings:
10

Filling with Salt for the Water Softener
Use only salt designed for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container
1
with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent as this would irreparably damage the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of dishwasher salt in your hand.
Fill with dishwasher salt:
– Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
– When the SALT indicator
If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to
3
use dishwasher salt. The SALT indicator
remain illuminated.
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. When using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the container opening.
Fill the container with salt through

The water expelled by filling the salt container with salt runs out of the
3
salt container onto the base of the washing compartment. This is not a
cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the start of the
next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise dishwasher salt will leak
into the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this
run a rinse programme after filling the salt container with special salt.
This will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that have been spilt.
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
3
the salt to dissolve in the water and the special salt indicator
extinguish. The setting of the water softener and the consumption of
salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.

Operating Instructions
Bio Wash Programmes and Concentrated Detergents
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be
split into two basic types:
– Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
– Weak alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of BIO wash programmes in conjunction with concentrated
2
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; the BIO wash
programmes are specially matched to the soil dissolving properties of
the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. It is for this reason that
BIO wash programmes can achieve the same results at 50 °C that can
otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C programmes.
Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different
3
rates. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full
cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal
programmes with pre wash when using detergent tablets.
Detergent Recommendations
For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergent, rinse aid
and salt.

Installation and Connection Instructions
Leak Prevention System
For protection from damage due to water leaks, the dishwasher is
equipped with a leak prevention system, the AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve immediately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain pump switches on. By this
means water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in
the appliance is automatically pumped out.
The AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM also works when the appliance is switched
1
off – the appliance must however not be disconnected from the mains.
