The safety features 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:
Installation, connection and initial use
• The dishwasher may only be transported upright.
• Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Under no circumstance
should a damaged appliance be connected up. In the event of damage, please contact your vendor.
• Before starting your appliance please ensure that the nominal voltage and type of current specified on the rating plate are the same as
those used at the place of installation. Please also refer to the type
plate for the type of fuse to be used.
• You will find details on how to correctly install and connect up your
dishwasher in the "Installation" section. Multi-way plugs / connectors
and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a safety
hazard.
Child Safety
• Often children do not recognise the hazards present in the use of
household appliances. Please therefore ensure that children are adequately supervised and do not let children play with the dishwasher –
there is a danger that children may shut themselves in the appliance
(risk of asphyxiation!).
• Packaging materials (e.g. sheet and Styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of asphyxiation! Keep packaging materials at a safe
distance from children.
• Detergents can cause burns to eyes, mouth and throat or even cause
asphyxiation! Please observe the detergent manufacturers safety
instructions.
• The water in the dishwasher is not drinking water. If there are still
remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is risk of burns!
• When disposing of the dishwasher: Pull out the mains plug, cut off
the mains cable and dispose of it. Break the door lock so that the do

Operating instructions
General safety
• Repairs to the dishwasher may only be performed by qualified service
engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for
the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer
service or your dealer.
• Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, inlet / drain hose are
damaged or the control panel, work surface or plinth area are damaged such that internal components of the appliance are openly
accessible.
• If the mains cable for the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced
with special cable (obtainable from AEG customer service) by an AEG
authorised customer service centre.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull on
the plug.
• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for
safety reasons.
• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed, except during loading and emptying. By this means you will avoid anyone tripping over the open door and injuring themselves.
• Sharp knives and other item of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid
in the upper rack or placed in the cutlery rack with the point facing
downwards.
Intended use
• Only wash household dishes with the dishwasher. If the appliance is
used for purposes other than those intended or used incorrectly, no
liability will be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that
may be caused.
• Prior to use ensure that the manufacturer’s of the special salt, detergent and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their
products in household dishwashers.
• Do not put solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explosion!
6
Operating instructions
• The leak prevention system provides reliable protection from damage
due to water leaks. For this system to function the following prerequisites must be met:
– The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is
switched off.
– The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
– Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is
not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on holiday.
• Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.
• In the event of a fault, shut off the water supply at the tap, then
switch off the appliance and unplug. In the case of a permanent connection: pull or unscrew the fuse(s).
2 Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material
Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled.
• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:
– >PE<for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material
– >PS<for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free)
– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips
• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and
should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.
Disposal of old appliances
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher, please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the
costs, dispose of it for you.

Operating instructions
2 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 dishes under running water.
• When you wash a small load, the load sensor calculates the amount
of water necessary and shortens the programme. It is more economical to always wash with a full load.
• 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.

Operating instructions
Prior to using for the first time
Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips with which the dish
racks are secured for transport.
Then perform the following steps:
0 1. Adjust the water softener
2. Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
3. Filling with Rinse Aid
Adjusting the Water Softener
To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the
dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content water. For this
reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap
water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degrees) is softened with the
aid of special salt.
Your water supplier will be able to inform you on the hardness and
3
hardness range of the water in your area.
0 Adjust the water softener to the setting given in the table that corre-
sponds to the hardness of the water in the area where you live. The
water softener can be adjusted in 10 steps.

Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with
1
any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent.
This would irreparably damage the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of special salt in your hand.
12
Fill with special salt:
– Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
– When the SALT indicator on the control panel is illuminated.
If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to
3
use special salt.
Operating instructions
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.

3. Only when using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the
container opening.
Fill the container with special salt
through the funnel; the capacity of
the container is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg
depending on the grain size. Do not
overfill the salt container with special salt.
The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs
3
out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment.
This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the
start of the next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise special salt will leak into
the wash water. Dull glasses may result.
7. If you are not going to wash your dishes immediately, you should run
the PRE WASH programme. This will wash away salt water that has run
out of the container and any grains of salt that have been spilt.
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
3
the salt to dissolve in the water and for the SALT indicator to extinguish.
The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption of salt are
dependent on the hardness of the local water.

Operating instructions
Filling with Rinse Aid
Rinse aid ensures that your dishes gleam and are free from spots, and
that you glasses are clear.
Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid con-
1
tainer with any another substance (e.g. concentrated vinegar). This
would damage the appliance.
Fill with rinse aid:
– Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
– When the RINSE AID indicator on the control panel is illuminated.
The rinse aid container is on the inside of the dishwasher door.
0 1. Open the door
2. Turn the lid of the container
¼ of a turn anticlockwise and
remove.
3. Fill with rinse aid, up to the broken
line as a maximum; this line corresponds to a quantity of approx.
150 ml
4. Replace the lid and tighten by turning clockwise.
5. If rinse aid has been spilt, wipe up
with a cloth. Otherwise there will be
too much foam during washing.
