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.

As some products can be more efficient than others, please also pay attention
**
to the dosage instructions from the manufacturer of your brand.
If you use the modern “compact” powders containing enzymes, we recommend as
a fundamental rule that you select the 50°C programme as the enzymes function
at their most effectiveness at around this temperature.
These specifications are indicative values and depend on the pressure and
***
temperature of the water, and also on voltage modifications.
The duration of the programme depends on the total power absorbed. This

value can be found on the rating plate on the right hand side of the door. In this
way you will easily discover the column of the programme duration relating to your
appliance.
