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

Water softener

To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The dishwasher therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and harder is softened with the aid of special salt.

3

Your water supplier will be able to inform you about the hardness and

 

hardness range 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

Setting the water softener

Using the table as a guide, adjust the water softener to that which corresponds to the hardness of the water in your area:

0 The dishwasher must be switched off.

Setting manually:

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower rack from the dishwasher.

3. Turn the hardness range switch to 0 or 1 (see table).

4. Replace the lower rack.

Setting electronically:

5.Press the ON/OFF button.

The LED indicators for all the buttons in the control panel that are now able to be selected will become illuminated.

3 If the only LED indicator illuminated is one that belongs to a programme button, this means that this dishwashing cycle has been activated. The dishwashing cycle must be cancelled (RESET):

Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx.1 second. The LED indicators for all the buttons in the control panel that are now able to be selected will become illuminated.

6.Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed. The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.

7.Press function button 1.

The LED indicator for function button 1 will flash. The LED indicator for the end of the dishwashing cycle is flashing and acoustic signals can be heard simultaneously (only when the acoustic signal has been activated):

The number of times that the LED indicator for the end of the cycle flashes and the number of acoustic signals correspond to the new hardness setting.

This sequence of flashes and acoustic signals is repeated many times, with a 5 second pause in between.

8.Pressing function button 1 increases the hardness setting by 1. (Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10).

9.When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF switch. The hardness setting is now saved.

11

Operating Instructions

Special salt for the water softener

3 If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, then the water in your dishwasher does not need to be softened and you do not need to use special salt or salt substitute.

Water can be softened in one of two ways:

If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt substitute, the detergent only is put into the detergent compartment.

In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and electronically to 1 to ensure that no special salt is added.

If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt container.

In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and electronically to between 2 and 10 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is dispensed from the salt container.

1Only use special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply container with different types of salt (e.g. cooking or table salt) or detergent. This would destroy the water softener.

Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of special salt in your hand.

 

Setting the amount of special salt to be added

3

Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3 in 1 function.

 

If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and select the 3 in 1 function

together with the programme, the inflow of special salt does not have to be deactivated (see ”3 in 1 function”).

SALE SALT SALZ SEL

Operating Instructions

Adding special salt

If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, add the special salt:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.

– When the indicator for special salt J is illuminated on the control panel.

0 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.

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

13

Operating Instructions

Filling with Rinse Aid

 

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thor-

 

ough rinsing, spot and streak free drying.

1

Only use rinse aid specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Never

 

fill the rinse aid container with any other substance as this would dam-

age the appliance.

Fill with rinse aid:

Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time

When the window indicator has a dark centre surrounded by a light ring. If there is rinse aid in the container, the indicator window is completely dark.

The rinse aid compartment is on the inside of the dishwasher door. 0 1. Open the door.

2. Press the rinse aid compartment release button with your finger.

3. Fully open the rinse aid compartment lid.

4.Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level marked “max”; this corresponds to a quantity of approx. 140 ml.

5.Close the lid and press until it locks

into place.

6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a cloth. Otherwise too much foam will be formed during the wash.

14

Operating Instructions

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dosing

3 As the dishes are washed rinse aid is released from the dispenser into the wash water. The dose is factory set at 4, and can be adjusted from 1 to 6. Only change the setting if streaks, milky spots or dried on water marks are visible on glasses or crockery.

0 1. Open the door of the dishwasher.

2.Press the rinse aid compartment release button with your finger.

3. Fully open the rinse aid compartment lid.

4. Set the dose level.

5. Close the lid and press until it locks into place.
