Safety instructions
The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to accepted rules of technology and
the Appliance Safety Act. We as manufacturers, however, see ourselves as being
obliged to familiarise you with the following safety instructions.
Using your dishwasher for its intended purpose
● Only use your dishwasher for machine washing of household 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.
● For safety reasons, you should not convert or modify your dishwasher in any way.
Before using your dishwasher for the first time
● Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. Never connect a damaged
machine. If your dishwasher is damaged, you should contact your supplier.
● Your dishwasher must be correctly installed and connected. Please read the
section on "Installation" to make sure you know all about this.
● Before using your dishwasher for the first time, do not forget that the nominal
voltage and current type indicated on the rating plate of your machine must be
the same as the nominal voltage and current type at the installation site. The
necessary electrical fusing is also given on the rating plate.
Child safety
● Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous for children, who
could even be suffocated! You should therefore keep all packaging well away
from children.
● Children may not recognise the dangers of improper use of electrical appliances.
You should therefore ensure proper supervision during operation and not allow
your children to play with your dishwasher.
● Detergents may have a caustic effect on eyes, mouth and throat and may even
cause suffocation! Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
● The water in your dishwasher should not be used for drinking. Detergent residues
may still be present in your machine. Make sure you do not splash these caustic
residues onto your skin or suffocate yourself! Keep children well away from your
dishwasher when its door is open.

Your dishwasher in day-to-day use
● Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, supply or drainhose,
control panel, worktop or plinth are damaged.
● If there is a fault, first turn the water tap off. Then switch off your machine and
pull the plug out of the socket. If there is a fixed connection, switch off or
unscrew the fuse(s).
● Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable - always hold the plug.
● 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.
● Never place any solvents in your dishwasher or you may cause an explosion!
● Do not rest or sit on the open door or the machine could tilt.
● Before using special dishwasher salt, detergent or rinse-aid, make sure that the
manufacturer of these products expressly specifies their use in domestic
dishwashers.
● 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.
● Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position. Tipping it upside down
during transport could cause salty water to leak into the internal compartment
and lead to the formation of rust.

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.
Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your machine
(and suffocate) or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore pull out
the main plug and detach and discard the electrical supply lead.
Disable the door lock so that the door no longer closes.
6
Disposing of packaging and old machine
All packaging materials used are environmentally compatible and reusable.
The cardboard parts are produced from recycled paper, and the wood is untreated.
The plastics are marked as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packaging foils.
>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding (essentially CFC-Free).
>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clamps.
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 finally reaches the end of its life and you withdraw it from
service, you should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of.
Disposing of the packaging
Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always
confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary.
Warning! Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous
for children, who could even be suffocated! You should therefore
keep all packaging well away from children.

Economical and ecological dishwashing
● Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if your hot water is not
electrically heated.
● Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.
● Do not pre-rinse under running water.
● 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 manufacturer of the respective product.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation
instructions.
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance.
3. Set the water softener.
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt.
5. Fill the rinse-aid dispenser.
Setting the water hardness range
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German, French and PPM degrees.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.
To ensure optimum regeneration of the water softener:
- the water softener must be adjusted to the local water hardness;
- the dishwasher salt container must always be filled with special salt.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

To select a different level be sure that the dishwasher is
off and then proceed as follows:
1. Press INTENSIV 70° and 30 MINUTEN programme push buttons simultaneously.
2. While keeping the programme push
buttons INTENSIV 70° and 30 MINUTEN
pressed switch on the dishwasher by
pressing the On/Off push button.
The On/Off indicator light comes on.
At the same time, also the indicator lights
of the INTENSIV 70° and 30 MINUTEN
push buttons start flashing.
Press the INTENSIV 70° push button, the
indicator light of the 30 MINUTEN push
button turns off, while the indicator light
of the INTENSIV 70° push button remains
fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it
starts flashing indicating the current level of the water softener.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the
INTENSIV 70° indicator light, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of
flashes, this for about 60 seconds.
Example:
1 flash = level 1
2 flashes = level 2
3 flashes = level 3
4 flashes = level 4
5 flashes = level 5
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no
need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt indicator
light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt indicator
light will illuminate only in setting mode and at the end of the
washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will remain off.

To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the
salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the
container (this is necessary only
before filling with salt for the first
time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the
salt until the container is full.
Do not worry if water overflows from
the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.
Filling with special salt
Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very similar. The
accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would ruin the water
softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you have in your hand really
is salt.
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing
programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
3. To change the level, press the INTENSIV 70° programme push button.
Each time the push button is pressed the level changes.
Examples:
if the current level is 3, by pressing the INTENSIV 70° programme push button
once, level 4 is selected
if the current level is 5, by pressing the INTENSIV 70° programme push button
once, level 1 is selected
The INTENSIV 70° indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds after which it
starts flashing indicating the new level selected.
4. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off
push button.
