Operating Instructions

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1 Safety Instructions

The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:

Installation, Connection and Placing into Operation

The dishwasher may only be transported upright.

Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do not in any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your retailer.

Before installing the appliance, ensure that the nominal voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dishwasher, please read the “Installation“ section. Adaptors / connectors and extension cables must not be used.

Child Safety

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

Keep all packaging away from children.

Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.

The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns!

When disposing of an old appliance, cut off the power supply cable and remove any door catches, to prevent young children being trapped inside.

General Safety

Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

5

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.

6

Operating Instructions

In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the mains: remove the fuse.

2 Disposal

Disposing of the Packaging Material

Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled.

• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:

– >PE<

for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material

– >PS<

for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free)

– >POM<

for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips

Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.

Disposal of Old Appliances

When disposing of old appliances, remove the plug and ensure that any locks or catches are removed to prevent young children becoming trapped inside.

Use an authorised disposal site.

2Economical and Ecological Dishwashing

Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.

Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.

When you wash a small load, the load sensor calculates the amount of water necessary and shortens the programme. It is more economical to always wash with a full load.

Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes.

Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the detergent manufacturer.

Operating Instructions

Prior to using for the first time

Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips with which the baskets are secured for transport.

Then perform the following steps: 0 1. Adjust the water softener

2.Fill the water softener with water and special salt

3.Fill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid

3

Special salt and rinse aid must not be added if you use 3-in-1 detergent

 

tablets.

Adjust the water softener

To prevent the build up of limescale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. For this reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid of special salt.

3

Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water

 

in your area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The water softener can be set manually using the water hardness

 

switch; it can also be set electronically using the buttons on the control

 

panel.

Operating Instructions

Filling with Salt for the Water Softener

1 Use only salt designed for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container 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 Jon the control panel is illuminated.

3

If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to

 

use dishwasher salt. The SALT indicator Jon the control panel will

 

remain illuminated.

 

 

0 1.

Open the door, remove the lower

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

basket.

3.When using for the first time: fill the salt container with water.

4.Place the funnel supplied on the con-

tainer opening.

Fill the container with salt through

the funnel; the capacity of the con- tainer is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg depend- ing on the grain size. Do not overfill

the salt container with salt.

3

The water expelled by filling the salt container with salt runs out of the

 

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.

3

Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for

 

the salt to dissolve in the water and the special salt indicator Jto

extinguish. The setting of the water softener and the consumption of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.

12

Operating Instructions

Rinse aid

Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, spot and streak free drying of dishes and glassware.

Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:

If you use the dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, add the rinse aid to the rinse aid container.

If you opt for this method, please note that

the rinse aid container must never be empty.

the amount of rinse aid dispensed must be set.

If you use dishwasher detergent which already contains rinse aid, add this to the detergent compartment.

If you opt for this method, please note that

the rinse aid container must be empty in order to avoid dispensing too much rinse aid.

You can switch off the Hcontrol indicator. Otherwise, the H control indicator would stay on permanently owing to the empty container.

1Only use rinse aid specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid container with dishwasher detergent or any other substance (e.g. vinegar essence) as this would damage the appliance.
