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.
● 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.
4
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.
5
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.
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.
6
Economical and ecological dishwashing
● Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if your hot water is not
electrically heated.
● Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.
● Do not pre-rinse 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 recommended in these
operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product.

Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations the
SO272
dishwasher is performing.
"Instruction accepted" audible signal
When any of the push buttons are pressed, an audible signal informs you that the
machine has accepted the instruction given.
"Programme run" audible signal
An audible signal informs you that the washing programme is starting.
"End of programme" audible signal
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash programme has ended.
"Alarm" audible signal
The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help you determine the
cause of any problems (see "What to do, if...").
An audible signal informs you that an alarm is activated.
To deactivate these audible signals, press the programme push button "NORMAL
65°" for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an audible signal informs you that the
audible signals have been deactivated.
To reactivate these audible signals, press the programme push button "NORMAL
65°" for about 3 seconds, at the end of which an audible signal informs you that the
audible signals have been reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible signals) must be carried out
before starting a washing programme; the setting will remain memorised after
switching off the dishwasher.
10
Before using your dishwasher for the first time
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the
installation instructions.
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance.
3. Set the water softener.
4. Pour 0,5 l of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt.
5. Fill the rinse-aid dispenser.
Setting the water hardness range
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German, French degrees and PPM
(parts per Million).
The 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.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.
You may change the factory setting level by means of the wash programme selector
push buttons. Each push button corresponds to a different level (see chart).

If your water hardness is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need
to use salt. With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt indicator
light on the control panel will always remain off.
The setting of a new level must occur with the dishwasher switched off.
To set a different level, proceed as follows:
1. Press simultaneously and keep pressed the "INTENSIV 70°" and "NORMAL
65°" programme push buttons.
2. Press the On/Off push button.
3. Always keeping pressed the "INTENSIV 70°" and "NORMAL 65°"
programme push buttons wait about 5 seconds until the indicator light
of the programme which corresponds to the current level comes on.
4. Press the "INTENSIV 70°" push button as many times as necessary until
the indicator light of the programme corresponding to the new level
comes on. 5 seconds after this push button has last been pressed the
dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme
setting mode.

Filling with special salt
SALE
SALT
SALZ
SEL
SR14
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.
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing
programmes (not the "Rinse and 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
may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of
the salt container.
2. Pour 0,5 l of water inside the
container (this is necessary only
before filling with salt for the
first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in
the salt until the container is full.
Do not worry if water overflows
from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap making sure that
there is no trace of salt on the
screw thread or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
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 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.

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
1. Open the container by turning the lid
(A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is
completely full. The indicator (B) will
be completely dark.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.
Top up with rinse aid when the rinse aid
indicator light on the control panel
illuminates.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with
an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming
during the next wash.
Attention! Do not put liquid detergent in
the rinse aid department.
Adjusting the dose
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.
Start from position 3.

after a large number of washes.
Attention!
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof.
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging
the filters and consequently reducing the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets.
15
The lower basket
UI51
The lower basket is designed to take
saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery
etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be
arranged around the edge of the basket,
ensuring that the upper spray arm can
turn freely.
UI12
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow tou
to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
1. Slightly pull them upward and let them
drop down (see picture).
2. To bring them back to the standing
position, just pull them up again.
UI18
16
Cutlery basket
UI25
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.
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.
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.
1. Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and unfold
both handle parts.
2. After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.
UI20
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.
17
The upper basket
US60
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
The cup-rack on the left folds upwards to increase your loading flexibility.
Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup racks so that water can reach
all surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so
they do not move.
18
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
A
RC01
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.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Move the front runner stops (A) of
the upper basket outwards and
slide the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in the higher
position and replace
the stops (A) in their original
position.
Attention!
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 the raised cup racks.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.
19
Use of detergent
DE02
Attention!
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as
follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the
catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the
recommended quantity given in the
"Washing Programmes" chart. As all
detergents are not the same, please
pay attention to instructions on the
packet.
Min = 15 g
Max = 30 g
D
MIN
MAX
3. Always close the lid.
DE17
4. If the programme has a prewash add
the required detergent over the lid of
the dispenser.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as
follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet
inside the detergent dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash;
place a portion of a further tablet
on the lid of the detergent
dispenser.
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.
20
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.
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.

Maintenance and cleaning
MA15
MA17
Internal and external cleaning
Do not under any circumstances use furniture care products or aggressive
cleaners.
If necessary, clean the controls only with a soft cloth and pure warm water.
The spray arms do not need cleaning.
Occasionally check the internal containers, door seal and water inlet for soiling,
clean if necessary.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using
detergent.
Cleaning the filters
The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to large extent selfcleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to
time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.
1. Open the door, remove the
lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system
comprises a coarse/fine filter,
microfilter and a flat filter.
Unlock the filter system using a
handle on the microfilter, and
remove.
3. Turn the handle about 1/4a turn
anticlockwise and remove.
4. Take hold of the coarse/fine
filter (1/2) by the handle with
the hole and remove from the
microfilter (3).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly
under running water.
27
6. Remove the flat filter (4)
MA16

from the base of the washing
compartment and clean both
faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the
base of the washing
compartment.
8. Place the coarse/fine filter in
the microfilter and press
together.
9. Put the filter combination in
place and lock by turning the
handle clockwise to the stop.
During this process ensure
that the flat filter does not
protrude above the base of
the washing compartment.
Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters.

Installation instructions
Connecting the water supply
● 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!
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply. A hot water supply is not always
efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a
long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet
hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications.
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.
Water outlet connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows:
1. To the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip.
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide
provided.
3. 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.
36
Water protection system
To protect your dishwasher from water damage, it is equipped with a water
protection system.
In cases of malfunction on the control panel the phase indicator light "SPÜLEN"
starts flashing.
In this case turn off the water tap and call the Service Centre.
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.
