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,

Regardless of the type of detergent

Regeneration process

For the correct water softener operation,
the resin of the softener device needs to
be regenerated regularly. This process is
automatic and is the part of the normal
dishwasher operation.

When the prescribed quantity of water
(see values in the table) has been used
since the previous regeneration process,
a new regeneration process will be
initiated between the final rinse and the
programme end.

In case of the high water softener setting,
it may occur also in the middle of the
programme, before the rinse (twice
during a programme). Regeneration
initiation has no impact on the cycle
duration, unless it occurs in the middle of
a programme or at the end of a
programme with a short drying phase. In
such cases, the regeneration prolongs
the total duration of a programme by
additional 5 minutes.

Subsequently, the rinsing of the water
softener that lasts 5 minutes may begin
in the same cycle or at the beginning of
the next programme. This activity
increases the total water consumption of
a programme by additional 4 litres and
the total energy consumption of a
programme by additional 2 Wh. The
rinsing of the softener ends with a
complete drain.

Each performed softener rinse (possible
more than one in the same cycle) may
prolong the programme duration by
another 5 minutes when it occurs at any
point at the beginning or in the middle of
a programme.

All the consumption values
mentioned in this section are
determined in line with the
currently applicable standard
in laboratory conditions with
water hardness 2.5mmol/L
(water softener: level 3)
according to the regulation:
2019/2022 .
The pressure and the
temperature of water as well
as the variations of the
mains supply can change
the values.

6.3 The rinse aid level

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes
without streaks and stains. It is
automatically released during the hot

ENGLISH 13

rinse phase. It is possible to set the
released quantity of rinse aid.

When rinse aid chamber is empty, the
rinse aid indicator is on notifying to refill
rinse aid. If the drying results are
satisfactory while using multi-tablets only,
it is possible to deactivate the dispenser
and the indicator. However, for best
drying performance, always use rinse aid
and keep the rinse aid indicator active.

To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and
indicator, set the level of rinse aid to 0A.

6.4 End sound

You can activate an acoustic signal that
sounds when the programme is
completed.

Acoustic signals sound also
when a malfunction of the
appliance occurs. It is not
possible to deactivate these
signals.

6.5 AirDry

AirDry improves the drying results. The
appliance door opens automatically
during the drying phase and remains
ajar.

AirDry is automatically activated with all
programmes.

The duration of the drying phase and the
door opening time vary depending on the
selected programme and options.

When AirDry opens the door, the display
shows the remaining time of the running
programme.

www.aeg.com14

CAUTION!

Do not try to close the
appliance door within 2
minutes after automatic
opening. This can cause
damage to the appliance.

CAUTION!

If children have access to
the appliance, we advise to
deactivate AirDry. The
automatic opening of the
door may pose a danger.

When AirDry opens the
door, Beam-on-Floor might
not be completely visible. To
see if the programme is
complete, look at the control

9. HINTS AND TIPS

9.1 General

Follow the hints below to ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and to protect the environment.

• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as
instructed in the user manual usually
consumes less water and energy than
washing dishes by hand.

• Load the dishwasher to its full
capacity to save water and energy.
For best cleaning results, arrange
items in the baskets as instructed in
the user manual and do not overload
the baskets.

• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It
increases the water and energy
consumption. When needed, select a
programme with a prewash phase.

• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes and empty cups and
glasses before putting them inside the
appliance.

• Soak or slightly scour cookware with
firmly cooked-on or baked-on food
before washing it in the appliance.

• 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.
ECO offers the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption.

• To prevent limescale buildup inside
the appliance:

– Refill the salt container whenever

necessary.

– Use the recommended dosage of

the detergent and rinse aid.

– Make sure that the current level of

the water softener agrees with the
hardness of the water supply.

– Follow the instructions in the

chapter "Care and cleaning".

9.2 Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
designed for dishwasher. Other
products can cause damage to the
appliance.

• In areas with hard and very hard
water, we recommend to use basic
dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,
tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying
results.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use tablets
with long programmes.

• Always use the correct quantity of
detergent. Insufficient dosage of
detergent can result in poor cleaning
results and hard-water filming or
spotting on the items. Using too much
detergent with soft or softened water
results in detergent residues on the
dishes. Adjust the amount of
detergent based on the water
hardness. Refer to the instructions on
the detergent packaging.

• Always use the correct quantity of
rinse aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse
aid decreases the drying results.
Using too much rinse aid results in
bluish layers on the items.

• Make sure that the water softener
level is correct. If the level is too high,
the increased quantity of salt in the
water might result in rust on cutlery.

9.3 What to do if you want to

stop using multi-tablets

Before you start using separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid, complete
the following steps:

1. Set the highest level of the water

softener.

2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid

containers are full.

3. Start the Quick programme. Do not

add detergent and do not put dishes
in the baskets.

ENGLISH 19

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.

9.4 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.

• The correct quantity of detergent is

used.

9.5 Loading the baskets

• Always use the whole space of the

baskets.

• Use the appliance to wash

dishwasher-safe items only.

• Do not wash in the appliance items

made of wood, horn, aluminium,
pewter and copper as they could
crack, warp, get discoloured or pitted.

• Do not wash in the appliance items
that can absorb water (sponges,
household cloths).

• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening facing
downwards.

• Make sure that glass items do not
touch each other.

• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not move
freely.

• Put cutlery and small items in the
cutlery drawer.

• Move the upper basket upwards to
accommodate large items in the lower
basket.

• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.

9.6 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.
