Safety instructions
The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to accepted rules of
technology and the Appliance Safety Act. We as manufacturers, however, see
ourselves as being obliged to familiarise you with the following safety
instructions.
Using your dishwasher for its intended purpose
● Only use your dishwasher for machine washing of household crockery. If
your machine is misused or used for any purposes other than that
for which it is intended, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any
damage caused.
● For safety reasons, you should not convert or modify your dishwasher in
any way.
Before using your dishwasher for the first time
● Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. Never connect a
damaged machine. If your dishwasher is damaged, you should contact
your supplier.
● Your dishwasher must be correctly installed and connected. Please read
the section on "Installation" to make sure you know all about this.
● Before using your dishwasher for the first time, do not forget that the
nominal voltage and current type indicated on the rating plate of your
machine must be the same as the nominal voltage and current type at the
installation site. The necessary electrical fusing is also given on the rating
plate.
Child safety
● Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous for
children,who could even be suffocated! You should therefore keep all
packaging well away from children.
● Children may not recognise the dangers of improper use of electrical
appliances. You should therefore ensure proper supervision during
operation and not allow your children to play with your 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.
3
● The water in your dishwasher should not be used for drinking. Detergent
residues may still be present in your machine. Make sure you do not
splash these caustic residues onto your skin or suffocate yourself! Keep
children well away from your dishwasher when its door is open.
Your dishwasher in day-to-day use
● Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, supply or
drainhose, control panel, worktop or plinth are damaged.
● If there is a fault, first turn the water tap off. Then switch off your
machine and pull the plug out of the socket. If there is a fixed
connection, switch off or unscrew the fuse(s).
● Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable - always hold the plug.
● Dishwasher repairs should only be performed by trained personnel.
Improper repairs may seriously endanger the user. If your dishwasher
needs to be repaired, you should contact our service centre or your
retailer.
● Never place any solvents in your dishwasher or you may cause an
explosion!
● Do not rest or sit on the open door or the machine could tilt.
● Before using special dishwasher salt, detergent or rinse-aid, make sure
that the manufacturer of these products expressly specifies their use in
domestic dishwashers.
● Always turn off the water tap when your dishwasher is left unattended
for any length of time, e.g. when you are away on holiday.
● Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position. Tipping it upside
down during transport could cause salty water to leak into the internal
compartment and lead to the formation of rust.

Disposing of packaging and old machine
Disposing of the packaging
Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we
always confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary.
Warning! Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be
dangerous for children, who could even be suffocated! You
should therefore keep all packaging well away from children.
All packaging materials used are environmentally compatible and reusable.
The cardboard parts are produced from recycled paper, and the wood is
untreated.
The plastics are marked as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packaging foils.
>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding (essentially CFC-Free).
>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clamps.
Give the packaging for reuse to your local recycling centre. Your municipal or
local authority will give you its address.
5
Disposing of your old machine
When your machine finally reaches the end of its life and you withdraw it
from service, you should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of.
Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your
machine (and suffocate) or otherwise endanger their lives.
Therefore pull out the main plug and detach and discard the
electrical supply lead.
Disable the door lock so that the door no longer closes.
Marking of plastic parts for graded recycling: all plastic parts in your
machine are marked with internationally standardised abbreviations (e.g.
<PS> for polystyrene). When your machine is disposed of, this enables plastic
waste to be sorted into individual types for environmentally conscious
recycling.
Take your decommissioned machine to your local recycling centre or dealer,
who will take it back from you for a small handling charge.

Important hints
Operating your dishwasher economically and with regard
for the environment
Collect your dirty dishes, stack them in the dishwasher, and only wash them
when both baskets are full, making sure that the latter are never overloaded.
Only then can you be sure that you are machine-washing economically and
with regard for the environment.
Always select the programme corresponding to the type of crockery and
degree of soiling (see "Washing programmes" chart).
Never overdose detergents, special salt or rinse-aid. Follow the dosage
recommendations in these operating instructions as well as the instructions
given by manufacturers of these products.
Make sure that the water softener is correctly set.
Unsuitable crockery
The following are unsuitable for machine washing:
- wooden boards or platters
- non-heat-resistant plastic parts
- lead crystal glass
- tin or copper items
- glued crockery or cutlery
- older types of cutlery with temperature-sensitive adhesive
- steel knives that are liable to rust
- cutlery with wood, horn, porcelain or mother-of-pearl handles.
7
Suitable crockery
The following items have certain machine washing limitations:
- Only wash earthenware crockery in your dishwasher if the manufacturer
has expressly indicated it as being suitable for that purpose.
- Some types of decoration which have been painted over the glaze may
fade after frequent machine washing.
- Silver and aluminium parts tend to discolour during machine washing.
- Many food residues, such as egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discolouration or staining on silver. Silver crockery and cutlery should
therefore always be cleaned of food residues if they are not washed
immediately after a meal.
- Some types of glass may become cloudy after many washing cycles. You
should therefore continue to hand-wash especially valuable glassware.
When buying new crockery and cutlery, confirm that they are dishwashersafe.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time
When your new dishwasher is correctly set up and installed, you must first
make it ready for use.
Before using your dishwasher for the first time, proceed as follows:
- set the water softener;
- fill the special salt container with special salt;
- fill the rinse-aid dispenser with rinse-aid.
The following sections give you more detailed information about the
individual points.
Setting the water hardness range
Soft (low-lime) water is necessary for machine washing to avoid lime
deposits on crockery and in your dishwasher. Tap water with a hardness
above 4°d (German degree) must therefore be softened for machine washing.
For this purpose, your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. The water
softener is treated (regenerated) automatically and at regular intervals with
salt solution. The salt consumption needed for regeneration thus depends on
the local water hardness. Your local water company will provide you with
information about water hardness in your area.
To ensure optimum regeneration of the water softener:
- the water softening system must be set to the local water hardness;
- the dishwasher salt container must always be filled with special salt.
Your local Water Company will provide you with information about water
hardness in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set "level 4" as this suits most users.
If you use phosphate free detergents containing enzymes, add salt starting
from 4°dH (7° TH).
To set a different level, proceed as follows:
The level setting is possible only with the dishwasher turned off.
Press and keep pressed the "NORMALBIO 50°" programme pushbutton.
Press the on/off pushbutton.
Keep pressed the "NORMAL BIO 50°" programme pushbutton for
approximately 5 seconds until the pilot light of the "NORMAL BIO50°"
programme starts to flash indicating the setting of level "2" (factory setting).
Press the programme pushbutton corresponding to the required level, (see
chart).
After 5 seconds the pilot light will turn off and the dishwasher will memorise
the new level setting.
If your water is level "0" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to
use salt. In this case do not take into account the salt light on the control
panel, which illuminates when there is no salt inside the salt container.
Salt MUST be used regularly from level "1" upward if you use the new
compact detergent containing enzymes.

Filling with special salt
Only use salt designed specifically for use in dishwashers. Other types of salt
i.e. table/cooking salt contain high percentages of other substances which
may reduce the efficiency of the softener.
Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very
similar. The accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would
ruin the water softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you
have in your hand really is salt.
To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container. Pour about half a litre
of water into the container, or until it is full (this is only necessary before
filling with salt for the first time).
Pour inside the container about 1 kg of regenerating salt.
SALE

SALZ
SEL
SR06
Clean any excess salt from the screw thread and the washer and carefully
close the cap.
Salt refill indicator
When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically top up the
container with salt.
You are reminded of this by the salt refill indicator light on the control panel
which will illuminate when the salt has finished.
Important: The salt refill indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuring the
dishwasher remains on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve
then this can take longer. The function of the dishwasher is not affected.
16
Caution: Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing
programmes (not the RINSEAND HOLD programme). This will prevent any
grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine for any period of time, which could cause corrosion.
The rinse-aid
The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry. It is
automatically dosed in during the hot rinsing cycle. The storage
compartment built in to the in side of the door can hold about 110 ml of
rinse-aid, which will be sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing
programmes, according to the dosage setting.
Filling up the rinse-aid
Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise (Fig. 3). Pour the
rinse-aid into the filler opening until the indicator (B) on the side of the
cover turns completely dark (i.e. until the container is full)

Setting the rinse aid quantity to be added
The correct dosage of the rinse-aid should be regulated on the basis of the
shine and drying results. For this purpose, set the quantity of liquid by means
of the six-position selector (C) located on the inside of the filler opening
(minimum quantity is position 1, maximum quantity is position 6). Use the
tip of a knife or a screwdriver to rotate the selector. If drops of water or
white marks remain on the crockery after it has been washed, gradually
increase the dosage. If the crockery comes out with whitish, sticky streaks,
reduce the dosage.

Adding dishwashing detergent
Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for
domestic dishwashers.
Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the rinse and
hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser. To open the dispenser
lid, pull the catch (D). This will open it. To help you to correctly dose the right
amount of detergent, inside the container there are two reference marks:
- MIN = 15 ml - MAX = 30 ml
18
D
DE12
MIN
MAX
The amount of detergent to be used varies depending on how soiled the
dishes are and the type of dishes being washed. We recommend the amounts
shown in the programme chart.
After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid.
All the programmes with prewash require a small extra amount of detergent
to be poured over the lid of the dispenser, as shown on the picture.
DE11
At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the
next wash.
Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the
instructions on the packet.
Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor
washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve
washing results and is also wasteful.
Using no more than correct amount of detergent also contributes to
reducing pollution.
19
BIO programmes and compact powders
On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be
classified into two groups:
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components:
- low-alkaline compact powders with natural enzymes.
The enzymes in low-alkaline compact powders have a dirt-dissolving effect
and are also biodegradable. These enzymes deploy their full dirt-dissolving
power within a temperature range of 40-50°C. In BIO washing programmes,
the temperature range and duration of the heating phases are precisely
matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes.
In combination with low-alkaline compact powders, BIO washing
programmes, at a temperature as low as 50°C, therefore achieve the same
cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C
programmes.
The lack of any caustic components in low-alkaline compact powders and the
lower cleaning temperature of BIO washing programmes not only relieve the
environment, but also care for your crockery.
20
Loading your machine
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any large scraps of food from
the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables,
fruit skins etc.) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
performance.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots
and pans.
Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily.
Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives etc. should be positioned
horizontally in the upper basket.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible; correct arrangement of
the items will give better washing results.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and
arranged so that they do not move during washing.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in
diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc.
UI11
IEC 436 / DIN 44990
UI12
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the
basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.
21
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to
allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down; to bring them back to
the standing position, just pull them up again.
UI18
Cutlery basket
Place knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery basket with their handles
pointing downwards.
Arrange cutlery loosely and distribute it in all compartments so that each
individual article has good contact with washing water. Also do not arrange
spoons and forks with their dirty side in contact with each other.
Important! Exceptionally long cutlery, such as soup ladles, kitchen knives, or
the like, may obstruct the upper spray arm.Such cutlery can be placed in the
upper basket.
To unload your dishwasher more easily, you can take the cutlery basket out
of the lower basket and unfold it. This makes it easier to remove small pieces
of cutlery.
22
Important note! To prevent the full cutlery basket from inadvertently
unfolding when being taken out, place your hand right round the two-piece
handle and hold it firmly.
❐ Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and unfold
both handle parts.
UI20
❐ After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.
UI25
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
23
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates
up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be
arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with long stems can be placed
upside-down in the raised cup-racks
US08
IEC 436 / DIN 44990
US07
The cup-rack on the left folds upwards to increase your loading flexibility.
Before closing the door , ensure that the spr ay arms can rotate fr eely.
24
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you
can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the
higher position as follows:
Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the
basket out.
Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their
original position.
A
RC01
When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20
cm in diameter and you will not be able to use raised cup racks.

26
Changing the programme
If a programme that is already running has to be changed proceed as follows:
Press the button of the selected programme for 5 seconds; after these 5
seconds the previous setting has been cancelled and you can select another
programme.
Interrupting a programme
Caution! Opening the door could let very hot steam escape: you risk being
scalded! Open the door with great care.
- A programme underway is interrupted when you open the door.
- Close the door again. The programme will start again at the point it was
interrupted.
Caution
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working;
if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine
stops.
Do not open the door during the hot phase: this may
cause hot water escape.
Care must be taken if the door is opened immediately
after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will
be cooler and drying will be improved.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water
dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
27
Care instructions
Internal and external cleaning
Clean the screen and controls of your dishwasher where necessary with a soft
cloth and lukewarm water.
Important note! Never use commercially available furniture cleaners or
aggressive detergents.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without
dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the central filter
(after each wash)
Scraps of food can sometimes accumulate in the centre filter (A) and should
be removed after each wash by rinsing the filter under running water.
To remove the filter, simply pull it outward by the handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original position until it
engages.

MA04
Cleaning the large filter
(every two months)
If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under running water,
using a brush.
To take it out remove the spray arm by pulling it upward on one side, turn
the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out the filter.
Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in reverse order.
Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the filter (A) should
be pointing towards the front of the appliance.

Caution
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the
machine.
29
Servicing
Before calling our Service Centre, please check whether you can rectify the
fault yourself by following the instructions given below. Should this
information be of no assistance to you in a specific case, please contact our
Service Centre.
The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems.
The dishwasher fails to start or stops during operation; and all the lights are
off (except pilot light) and the light corresponding to the phase under way
flashes. All pushbuttons are inoperative except the on/off button. Switch off
the machine by pressing the on/off button and carry out the suggested
corrective action:
● The water tap is off.
Turn the tap on.
● The water supply has been cut off.
Wait for it to be restored.
● The inlet hose may be squashed or bent.
Reposition correctly the inlet hose.
● The filter of the inlet hose may be clogged.
Clean the filter at the end of the inlet hose.
● The drain is bent.
Straighten out the bend.
● The spray arms are not turning because they are stopped by incorrectly
loaded dishes.

Installing
Positioning
Set the machine up as close as possible to a water tap and a connection for
waste water.
In order to ensure the door closes and seals properly, it is necessary for the
machine to stand firmly and horizontally on the floor.
Adjust the screw feet upwards and downwards until the machine stands
level.
For free-standing appliances only
If you wish to push your appliance under a kitchen work-top, you can
remove its built-in work-top (the cover of the dishwasher). The procedure is
as follows:
Loosen the two screws at the front. Then lift the work-top upwards, release it
from the rear stops, and pull it out.
Make sure, before you push the appliance into place, that the kitchen worktop is protected with aluminium foil (available from the service centre) on
the underside and along its front edge.
Installation instruction are to be found on the rear side of this foil. This is the
only way of ensuring that your kitchen work-top is protected form damage
caused by the water vapour which escapes when the door is opened.
Caution
If because of lack of space there is no alternative to setting up the
dishwasher directly next to a gas or a coal-fired oven, as heat-insulation
panel (measuring 85 x 57.5 cm) must be fitted between the oven and the
dishwasher. It must be covered with aluminium foil on the side towards the
oven.
35
Adapting the work-top
You can move the work-top 25 mm towards the front or the back so that it
fits exactly up against the kitchen cabinet. To do this, loosen the two fixing
screws at the front, bring the work-top into the required position, and
tighten the screws again.

Fitting a decor panel on the door
The door of this machine has frames for fitting a plastic laminate decor panel
in the colour required to match the dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen
furniture. If you wish to do this you must provide the panel yourself.
Width: 436 mm
Height: 592 mm
Max thickness: 4 mm

To fit the panel
Take the door frame off after removing the retaining screws around the
edge.
Position the panel, refit the frame and tighten the retaining screws around
the edge.
Note:
The panel should be fitted before positioning the machine.
For built-in appliances only
Please consult the enclosed template with the installation instructions.
Please note the following before installing:
When the door is opened after the programme has ended, steam escapes
from the machine as a normal operation feature and may cause nonwatertight bonded worktops to swell and warp.
The pack provided therefore includes a metal protection. In all cases, this
must be properly arranged to prevent subsequent damage to the worktop.
the protection should be arranged according to the instructions given on the
template.
The automatic dishwasher is then installed in the furniture recess.
When installing the dishwasher in the recess, please make sure that the
drain hose, supply hose and electrical supply lead are arranged so they
can move freely in the rear plinth area and so that any kinking or
squashing of these connections leads is prevented.
37
Connecting the water supply
Your dishwasher has been built in accordance with the valid regulations
governing water-consuming appliances and is equipped with safety devices
which prevent used water from flowing back into the drinking water mains.
Your dishwasher can be connected to either a cold or hot water supply of
max. 60°C.
Never connect your dishwasher to open hot water appliances and continuous
flow heaters!
The supply hose is fitted with a screwed hose connection (to DIN 259) and
can be connected to an outlet valve (water tap) with male thread (3/4").
Suitable washers are supplied with the machine. Do not use any washers
other than these!
The nut of the screwed hose connection can be tightened by and. If you require a supply hose which is longer than the one supplied, use only the VDEapproved complete hose kit (obtainable from our service centre) continuously
and to adequate length.
Never lengthen existing hoses.
Important note! The supply hose must not be kinked, squashed, or twisted.
Please ensure careful running.
To avoid reductions in water supply to the kitchen, we recommend you to
install a separate tap. Failing this, fit a branch piece to the existing water tap.
Additional installation expenditure (on the building side) can be reduced by
use of conventional sink mixers with connection and shutoff valve.
Minimum water pressure:
0,5 bar (5 N/cm2, 0,05 MPa).
If your water pressure is under 0,5 bar, please ask our service centre for
advice.
Maximum allowable water pressure:
8 bar (80 N/cm2, 0,8 MPa).
For a water pressure over 8 bar, a pressure-reducing valve (obtainable from
your specialist retailer) must be fitted upstream.
38
Water outlet connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows:
to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip;
to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and
100 cm (maximum) from the floor.
It makes no difference which way the drain hose faces, either to the right or
left of the dishwasher.
Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could prevent or slow down the
discharge of water.
Extension hoses
The necessary extension hoses can be obtained from specialist shops or from
our technical assistance centres.
The extension hose must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal
diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connection to the
waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the drain hose.
Arrange the extension hose horizontally along the floor and allow it to rise
only where it is to be connected to the drain.

Water protection system
To protect your dishwasher from water damage, it is equipped with a water
protection system.
Apart from an overflow protection, which prevents uncontrolled rising of
water in the appliance, it also features an outlet protection (float switch in
the floor tray). This responds in the event of any untightness in the machine.
In all cases of malfunction, the water supply is immediately interrupted and
the drain pump switched on. This prevents water from either flowing out or
overflowing.Any residual water in the appliance is automatically pumped
away. The pump also operates even if the machine is switched off and should
not be disconnected from the electricity supply.
A fault is recognised by the fact that a pump noise can be heard - even when
the machine is switched off.
If a fault occurs, first turn off the water tap. Then pull the plug out of the
plug socket. If there is a fixed connection, switch off or unscrew the fuse(s).
Electrical connection
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:
1. The mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the technical
specifications.
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the
maximum load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use
any type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket
replaced.
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety
precautions.
