(30min) suitable for dishwashing a load with fresh and light soil.

B. 1h is a programme suitable for

dishwashing a load with fresh and lightly dried-on soil.

C. 1h 30min is a programme suitable

for dishwashing and drying normally soiled items.

D. 2h 40min is a programme suitable

for dishwashing and drying heavily soiled items.

E. ECO is the longest programme

offering the most efficient use of energy and water consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for

test institutes.

5.2 AUTO Sense

The AUTO Sense programme automatically adjusts the dishwashing cycle to the type of load.

The appliance senses the degree of soil and the amount of dishes in the baskets. It adjusts the temperature and quantity of water as well as the wash duration.

5.3 EXTRAS

You can adjust the programme selection to your needs by activating EXTRAS.

ExtraSilent

ExtraSilent allows to reduce the noise generated by the appliance. When the option is activated, the wash pump works quietly at a lower speed. Due to the low speed, the programme duration is longer.

ExtraPower

ExtraPower improves the dishwashing results of the selected programme. The option increases the wash temperature and duration.

GlassCare

GlassCare prevents delicate load, glassware in particular, from damaging. The option prevents rapid changes in the dishwashing temperature of the selected programme and reduces it to 45 °C.

5.4 Extras in the app

My AEG Kitchen app provides additional dishwashing options. To access all options, connect your dishwasher to the app. See chapter "Wireless connection".

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 advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. Set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results.

level

Regardless of the type of detergent used, set the proper water hardness level to keep the salt refill indicator active.

Multi-tabs containing salt are not effective enough to soften hard water.

Regeneration process

For the correct water softener operation, the resin of the softener device needs to

Page 14

www.aeg.com14

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 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.

Page 15

ENGLISH 15

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

6.6 Key tones

The buttons on the control panel make a click sound when you press them. You can deactivate this sound.

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.

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.

This function saves energy by switching the appliance off when it is not operating.

10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 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.

The function comes into operation automatically:

• When the programme is completed.

• After 5 minutes if a programme was not started.

9.12 End of the programme

When the programme is complete, the display shows 0:00.

The Auto Off function switches the appliance off automatically.

All buttons are inactive except for the on/off button.

If the display shows upd, refer to "Troubleshooting".

• 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".

Page 22

www.aeg.com22

10.2 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.

10.3 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.

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.

10.4 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.

10.5 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.
