Desired options must be activated every time before you start a programme. It is not possible to activate or deactivate options while a programme is running.
The Option button toggles between the available options and their possible combinations.
Not all options are compatible with each other. If you select non compatible options, the appliance automatically deactivates one or more of them. Only the indicators of the still active options are on.
If an option is not applicable to a programme, the related indicator is off or it flashes quickly for a few seconds and then goes out.
Activating options can affect the water and energy consumption as well as the programme duration.
In the other programmes the setting of XtraDry is permanent and it is automatically used in next cycles. This configuration can be changed at any time.
Every time is activated, XtraDry is off and needs to be chosen manually.
Activating XtraDry deactivates TimeSaver and vice versa.

10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 General

Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and to help you protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, select a programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in 1''). Follow the instructions on the packaging.
• Select a programme according to the type of load and the degree of soil.
offers the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption.
10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water we recommend to use plain dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, tablets containing no additional agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.
• At least once a month run the appliance with the use of appliance cleaner which is particularly suitable for this purpose.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

10.3 What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets

Before you start to use separately detergent, salt and rinse aid do the following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty
notification.

10.4 Loading the baskets

• Only use the appliance to wash items that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
• Remove remaining food from the items.
• Make soft the remaining burned food on the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond together. Mix spoons with other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.
• Put small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arm can move freely before you start a programme.

10.5 Before starting a programme

Before you start the selected programme, make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid (unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type of load and the degree of soil.

11. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the main socket.
Dirty filters and clogged spray arms decrease the washing results. Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean them.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

10.6 Unloading the baskets

1. Let the tableware cool down before
you remove it from the appliance. Hot items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower
basket, then from the upper basket.
After the programme is completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.

11.1 Cleaning the filters

The filter system is made of 3 parts.
2. Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B).
3. Remove the flat filter (A).
1. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise
and remove it.
4. Wash the filters.
www.aeg.com18
5. Make sure that there are no residues
of food or soil in or around the edge of the sump.
6. Put back in place the flat filter (A).
Make sure that it is correctly positioned under the 2 guides.
7. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C).
8. Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter (A). Turn it clockwise until it locks.
CAUTION!
An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and damage to the appliance.

11.2 Cleaning the spray arms

Do not remove the spray arms. If the holes in the spray arms are clogged, remove remaining parts of soil with a thin pointed object.

11.3 External cleaning

• Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.

11.4 Internal cleaning

• Carefully clean the appliance, including the rubber gasket of the door, with a soft damp cloth.
• If you regularly use short duration programmes, these can leave deposits of grease and limescale inside the appliance. To prevent this, we recommend to run long duration programmes at least 2 times per month.
• To maintain the performance of your appliance at its best, we recommend to use monthly a specific cleaning product for dishwashers. Follow carefully the instructions on the packaging of the product.
