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 supplier.
•Prior to placing the appliance in operation, 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. Multiway plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a safety hazard.
Child Safety
•Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with the use of electrical appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure children are adequately supervised and that you do not allow children to play with the dishwasher – there is a risk that children can shut themselves inside the appliance (risk of suffocation!).
•Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
•Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth, and throat, or even cause choking! Please observe the manufacturer's safety instructions for cleaners and detergents.
•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 the dishwasher: unplug from the mains, cut off and dispose of the mains cable. Break the door lock so that the door no longer shuts.
5
Operating Instructions
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 customer service or your dealer.
•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 customer service) 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.
•Sharp knives and other item of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid in the upper rack or placed in the cutlery rack with the point facing downwards.
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.
•Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their products in household 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.
6
Operating Instructions
•Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.
•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: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.
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
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher, please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose of it for you.
2Economical 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 dishes 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.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Water Softener
To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content water. For this reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degrees) 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 has 4 settings. |

Operating Instructions
Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
1 Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent. This would irreparably damage 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.
Fill with special 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 special salt. |
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower rack.
2.Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
3.Only 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 special salt through the funnel; the capacity of
the container is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg depending on the grain size. Do not
overfill the salt container with special salt.
SALE SALT SALZ SEL
3 |
The water expelled by filling the salt container with special 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 special 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 thus the consumption of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.
11
Operating Instructions
Filling with Rinse Aid
|
Rinse aid ensures that your dishes gleam and are free from spots, and |
|
that you glasses are clear. |
1 |
Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid con- |
|
tainer with any another substance (e.g. concentrated vinegar). This |
would damage the appliance.
Fill with rinse aid:
–Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
–When the RINSE AID indicator Hon the control panel is illuminated.
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.
12
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.
