Safety information
The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law.
Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to
make you aware of the following safety information:
General safety
● Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance
is used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer
cannot accept any liability for any damage caused.
● Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for
safety reasons.
Before using the dishwasher for the first time
● Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Never connect a
damaged machine. In the case of damage, please contact your
retailer.
● For information on how to correctly install and connect up your
dishwasher, please read the ”Installation” section.
● Before installing the appliance, ensure that the nominal voltage and
type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where
the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating can also be found
on the rating plate.
Child safety
● Ensure that the plastic bags included in the packaging are kept
away from children who do not understand the dangers.
● Children may not recognise the dangers of improper use of electrical
appliances. You should therefore ensure proper supervision during
operation and not allow children to play with the dishwasher.
● Detergents may have a caustic effect on eyes, mouth and throat
and may even cause suffocation. Keep all detergents in a safe
place out of children´s reach.
● The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are
still remnants of degergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns.
Keep children well away from the dishwasher when its door is open.

Instruction book
In daily use
● Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water
inlet or drain hose is damaged, or the control panel, or plinth area is
damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.
● In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appliance
and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to
the mains, remove the fuse.
● When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead.
● Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified ser-
vice engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards
for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your
local AEG Service Force Centre. Use only spare parts supplied by
these.
● If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead,
the cable (obtainable from AEG Service Force) must be replaced by
a service engineer authorised by AEG.
● Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an
explosion!
● Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.
● Before using special dishwasher salt, detergent or rinse aid, make
sure that the manufacturer of these products expressly specifies
their use in domestic dishwashers.
● The water safety system protects against water damage. The follo-
wing requirements must be fulfilled:
- The dishwasher must remain connected to the mains supply when
switched off.
- The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
- Always shut off the water supply whenever the dishwasher is left
unattended for an extended period.

Disposing of the packaging material
Caution!
Never leave packaging material in a place where children may play
with it.
All materials used in packaging this appliance are environmentallyfriendly. The cardboard components of the packaging are made from
recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection point for recycling.
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material

The appliance contains plastic and rubber components. These have
identifying marks to show what they are made from, so they can be

General information
Economical and ecological dishwashing
● Only connect the dishwasher to a cold water supply.
● Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.
● Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.
● Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the
soiling on the dishes.
● Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recom-
mended in this instruction booklet and by the detergent manufacturer.
For washing in the dishwasher the following
are not suitable:
- wooden platters
- plastic items that are not heat resistant
- lead crystal glass
- pewter or copper items
- bonded cutlery items or dishes
- older cutlery with cement that is not temperature resistant
- cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother of pearl handles
Instruction book
For washing in the dishwasher the following
are of limited suitability:
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked
as being dishwasher safe by the manufacturer.
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during
washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often
cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean
left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight
after use.
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes.
Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher safe.

Prior to using for the first time
Adjusting the water softener
To prevent the build up of lime on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the
dishes must be washed with soft water i.e. water with a low lime content.
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener in which tap water from
a hardness of 4°d (german degree) is softened with the aid of special salt.
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the water
hardness level for your area. Contact your local Water Authority to find
the exact water hardness level for your area.
The water softener has 5 settings:
Water hardness
1)
°d
mmol/l
> 24 > 4,2
18 - 24 3,2 - 4,2
12 - 18 2,1 - 3,2
4 - 12 0,7 - 2,1
below 4 below 0,7

salt container anticlockwise.
2. Fill the salt container with
water (only the first time).
