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. 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).
4	● 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 your local AEG Service Force 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 as 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.

Disposing of packaging and old machines

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 and can cause suffocation. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for recycling the appliance.

Economical and ecological dishwashing

●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.

7. Programme phase indicator lights

As soon as you select a washing programme, this illuminates all the phases the programme consists of.

As the programme progresses, the phase under way will illuminate. At the end of the programme the phase indicator lights turn off.

8. Indicator lights

SALT

Illuminates when the salt has run out, to remind you to refill the salt container.

RINSE - AID

Illuminates when the rinse aid has run out, to remind you to refill the rinse aid dispenser.

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

"Instruction accepted" audible signal

When any of the push buttons are pressed, an audible signal informs you that the machine has accepted the instruction given.

"Programme run" audible signal

An audible signal informs you that the washing programme is starting.

"End of programme" audible signal

An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash programme has ended.

"Alarm" audible signal

The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help you determine the cause of any problems (see "What to do, if...).

An audible signal informs you that an alarm is activated.

To deactivate these audible signals, press the "SMALL LOAD" push button for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an audible signal informs you that the audible signals have been deactivated.

SO320

To reactivate these audible signals, press the "SMALL LOAD" push button for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an audible signal informs you that the audible signals have been reactivated.

Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible signals) must be carried out before starting a washing programme; the setting will remain memorised after switching off the dishwasher.

10

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 half a 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 degrees and PPM (parts per Million).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 4.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

Level						Water hardness					Use of salt
			°dH			°TH			PPM
			(german degrees)			(french degrees)			(parts per million)
0			0 - 4			0 - 8			0 - 80		NO
1			5	- 8		9 - 14			81 - 140		YES
2			9 - 11			15 - 20			141 - 200		YES
3			12	- 17		21 - 30			201 - 300		YES
4			18	- 22		31 - 40			301 - 400		YES
5			23	- 28		41 - 50			401 - 500		YES
6			29	- 33		51 - 60			501 - 600		YES
7			34	- 39		61 - 70			601 - 700		YES
8			40	- 45		71 - 80			701 - 800		YES
9			46	- 50		81 - 90			801 - 900		YES

If your water hardness 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 0 the salt indicator

light on the control panel will always remain off.

11

To set a different level, proceed as follows:

1.Press the ON/OFF push button.

2.Press the "SMALL LOAD" and "DELAY START" push buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds, in the display will appear L4 which corresponds to the current level.

3.Press the "DELAY START" push button as many times as necessary until the required level appears in the display. The level increases by 1 each time the push button is pressed. 5 seconds after this push button has last been pressed the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode.

SO321

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 (not the "Rinse and hold" programme). 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.

12

To fill:
1.	To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the
	salt container.
2.	Pour half a 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	SALE
	salt until the container is full.
		T
	Do not worry if water overflows from the	SAL
		SALZ
	unit when filling with salt, this is quite	SEL
	normal.

4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

5. Screw on the cap tightly.

SR14

When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically top up the container with salt.

You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which will illuminate when the salt has finished.

Important!

The salt refill indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. the function of the dishwasher is not affected.
