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
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.
www.aeg.com10
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.
