Safety instructions

Please read this instruction book carefully before use and retain for future reference.

These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure you understand them before installing or using this appliance.

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.

●It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this 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, contact your supplier.

●Your dishwasher must be correctly installed and connected. Follow the instructions in the "Installation" section.

●Before using your dishwasher for the first time, ensure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the rating plate.

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 children well away from your dishwasher when its door is open.

Your dishwasher in day-to-day use

●Never operate your dishwasher if any part is 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, at the mains supply.

●Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable - always hold the plug.

3

●Dishwasher repairs should only be carried out by authorised service engineers.

Improper repairs may seriously endanger the user. If your dishwasher needs to be repaired, contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

●Do not rest or sit on the open door.

●Long bladed knives stored in a 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 finishing loading or unloading close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

●Only use salt, detergent and rinse-aid, specifically designed for use in dishwasher.

●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 onto the internal components.

Disposing of packaging and old machine

Disposing of the packaging

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.

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.

Contact your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities for re-cycling.

Disposing of your old machine

Warning! Cut off the mains cable and dispose of the plug safely to make the appliance unusable.

Ensure that any locks or door catches are removed to prevent young children being trapped inside

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.

Contact your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling appliances.

Important hints

Operating your dishwasher economically and with regard for the environment

Collect your dirty crockery, stack them in the dishwasher, only wash them when both baskets are full, making sure that the latter are never overloaded.

Select the programme corresponding to the type of crockery and degree of soiling (see "Washing programmes" chart).

Follow the dosage recommendations in these operating instructions as well as the instructions given by detergent manufacturers.

Make sure that the water softener is correctly set.

Unsuitable crockery

The following are unsuitable for machine washing:

-wooden boards or platters

-non-heat-resistant plastic parts

-lead crystal glass

-tin or copper items

-glued crockery or cutlery

-older types of cutlery with temperature-sensitive adhesive

-steel knives that are liable to rust

-cutlery with wood, horn, porcelain or mother-of-pearl handles.

The following items have certain machine washing limitations:

-Only wash earthenware crockery in your dishwasher if recommended the manufacturer.

-Some types of decoration which have been painted over the glaze may fade after frequent machine washing.

-Silver and aluminium parts tend to discolour during machine washing.

-Many food residues, such as egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouration or staining on silver. Silver crockery and cutlery should therefore always be cleaned of food residues if they are not washed immediately after a meal.

-Some types of glass may become cloudy after many washing cycles. You should therefore continue to hand-wash especially valuable glassware.

When buying new crockery and cutlery, ensure that they are dishwasher-safe.

The controls are located on the top of the door. When selecting a programme, the door needs to be partially opened.

Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations the dishwasher is performing.

Short signal - "Instruction accepted"

When any of the buttons are pressed: a short audible signal informs you that the machine has accepted the instruction given.

Long signal - "Programme start"

A continuous audible signal, lasting about one second, is heard when you close the dishwasher door, informing you that the washing programme is starting.

Intermittent signal - "End of programme"

An intermittent audible signal, lasting in total five seconds informs you that the wash programme has finished.

Deactivating and activating the audible signal

If you wish to deactivated these audible signals, press both the "Normal 65" and "Bio 50" programme pushbuttons together for about 3 seconds, until the audible signal can no longer be heard. To reactivate the audible signals, press both buttons again for about 3 seconds, until the audible signal is heard.

***The times and consumption values are intended as a guide, and depend on the pressure and temperature of the water.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time

When your new dishwasher is installed, you must first make it ready for use.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time, proceed as follows:

-set the water softener;

-fill the special salt container with special salt;

-fill the rinse-aid dispenser with rinse-aid.

The following sections give you more detailed information about the individual points.

Setting the water hardness range

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from 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, Clarke degrees and french degrees.

-the water softening system must be set to the local water hardness;

-the dishwasher salt container must always be filled with dishwasher salt.

Your local Water Company will provide you with information about water hardness in your area.
