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.
4
● 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.
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.

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.

Flashes when:
- The water tap is closed.
- The mains supply has been cut off.
- The inlet hose may be blocked.
Open door
Flashes when the door has not been properly closed.
9. "Delay start" pushbutton
Allows the start of the programme to be delayed by a minimum of 1
hour, up to 12 hours.
Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations
the dishwasher is performing.
"Instruction accepted" audible signal
When any of the pushbuttons 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.
10
To deactivate these audible signals, press the "small load" pushbutton for
SO280
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 "small load" pushbutton 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.
11
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 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

SO281
If your water hardness is level 0 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.
To set a different level, proceed as follows:
1. Press the On/Off pushbutton.
2. Press the "small load" and "delay start" pushbuttons simultaneously for
about 5 seconds, in the display will appear L4 which corresponds to the
current level.
2. Press the "delay start" pushbutton as many times as necessary until the
required level appears in the display. The level increases by 1 each time
the pushbutton is pressed. 5 seconds after this pushbutton has last
been pressed the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to
the programme setting mode.
