1)
This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cut-
lery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes.
2)
The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It automatically ad-
justs the temperature and quantity of water as well as the wash duration.
3)
This programme is designed to wash heavily soiled items with high water pressure and at a high tem-
perature.
4)
This programme controls the temperature of the water to provide special care for delicate items,
glassware in particular.
5)
This programme is suitable for washing a load or a half load with fresh or light soil in a short time.
6)
This is the most silent programme. The wash pump works at a very low speed to reduce the noise
generated by the appliance. Due to the low speed, the programme duration is long.

6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local water authority can
www.aeg.com10
advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. It is important to set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results.
Softening hard water increases the consumption of water and energy as well as the programme duration. The higher the level of water softener, the higher the consumption and the longer the duration.

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
