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.

Disposing of packaging and old machine

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.

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.

Take your decommissioned machine to your local recycling centre or dealer, who will take it back from you for a small handling charge.

Important hints

Operating your dishwasher economically and with regard for the environment

Collect your dirty dishes, stack them in the dishwasher, and only wash them when both baskets are full, making sure that the latter are never overloaded. Only then can you be sure that you are machine-washing economically and with regard for the environment.

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

Never overdose detergents, special salt or rinse-aid. Follow the dosage recommendations in these operating instructions as well as the instructions given by manufacturers of these products.

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.

Suitable crockery

The following items have certain machine washing limitations:

-Only wash earthenware crockery in your dishwasher if the manufacturer has expressly indicated it as being suitable for that purpose.

-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, confirm that they are dishwashersafe.
