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 familiarize 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 forwhich
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 nomi-
nal 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 recognize the dangers of improper use of electrical appli-
ances. 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.
42
Your dishwasher in day-to-day use
■ Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, supply or drain
hose, 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.
43
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 un-
treated.
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.
By recycling and reuse of the packaging, raw materials can be saved and
the volume of refuse reduced.
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 mains 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 "Programme 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.
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 dishwasher-safe.

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 individ-
ual 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
hard- ness in your area.

For economic operation and as a contribution to environmental protection,
no more salt should be used than is necessary. For this reason, set the level
of water hardness which is correct for the water in your area.
To set a different level, proceed as follows:
Press the On/Off button to turn the dishwasher on.
Then simultaneosly press the “small load” button and “delay start” button for
approximately 5 seconds: an «L» followed by number 4 (the hardness level
set in the factory) will appear on the display.
SO201
Fig. 1
Press the “delay start” button consecutively until the required level appears
on the display.
Each time the button is pressed, you will go up one level.
When you have not pressed the “delay start” button for 5 seconds, the dish-
washer will set the hardness level to that shown on the display and return to
the programme setting mode.
Salt MUST be used regularly from level «1» upward if you use the new
compact detergent containing enzymes.
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.
53
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.

Clean any excess salt from the screw thread and the washer and carefully

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.
54
Caution: Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing
programmes (not the PREWASH 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 dish-washing 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
D
DE12
Fig. 6
56
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 detergen
to be poured over the lid of the dispenser, as shown on the picture.
DE11
Fig. 7
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.
57
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.
58
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 posi-
tioned 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.

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 odstruct 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.
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.
❐ After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.

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.

Interrupting a programme
Caution! Opening the door could let very hot steam escape: you risk be-
ing 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.

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.
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 (Fig. 21).

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.
AP02
Fig. 22
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 non-watertight 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.
73
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, 50 kPa).
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.
74
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 (Fig. 23).
75
Water protection system
To protect your dishwasher from water damage, it is equipped with a water
protection systyem.
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 recognized 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 adapter. 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.
