Operating instructions

SGK(1) GB/EU

Dear customer!

Before you operate your dishwasher, please read through these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for your safety as well as operation and maintenance of your machine. For this small trouble, your dishwasher will reward you with faultless performance.

Should your dishwasher ever have a fault, please look it up in the section on “If you think your dishwasher is not working properly”. In many cases, you can rectify minor faults yourself and thus save yourself unnecessary service costs.

Keep the operating instructions in a safe place for future reference, and give them to any future owners of your dishwasher.

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.

❒ Multiway plugs, joints and extension cables must not be used.

Child safety

❒ Pointed knives and items of cutlery with sharp edges must be lain in the

upper basket or placed in the cutlery basket with the point facing downwards.

❒ Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous for children, as it

could lead to suffocation! You should therefore keep all packaging well away from children.

❒ Children may not recognise 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.

SH-1(5) GB/EU

Your dishwasher in day-to-day use

❒ The water protection system ensures reliable protection against water damage,

though this implies the following conditions being fulfilled:

– The mains connection must be retained even when your dishwasher is switched

off. – Your dishwasher must be properly installed. – Always turn off the water tap if your dishwasher is left unattended for any length

of time. ❒ Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, supply or drain

hose, control panel, worktop, or plinth are damaged. ❒ In case of a fault, first turn off the water tap. Then switch off your machine and

pull the plug out of the plug socket. If there is a fixed connection, switch off or

unscrew the fuse(s). ❒ Never pull the plug out of the plug socket by the supply lead, but by the plug

itself. ❒ 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. ❒ If the connection lead of your dishwasher is damaged, it must be replaced by

the special lead through your AEG-authorised service centre.

❒ Never place any solvents in your dishwasher, or you may cause an explosion! ❒ Do not rest or sit on the open door, or you machine could tilt. ❒ The heating elements on the floor of the dishwasher remain hot for some time

after machine washing. Take care you do not scald yourself! Do not touch the

heating elements. ❒ Before using special dishwasher salt, detergent, and rinse aid, make sure that

the manufacturer of these products expressly specifies their use in domestic

dishwashers. ❒ The high temperature in the immediate vicinity of the heating element may

deform or even melt plastic parts. Do not arrange any plastic parts in the lower

basket above the heating element. ❒ 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. ❒ The dishwasher should only be transported upright. Any tilting during trans-

port may lead to salt water flowing into the dishwasher, which could result in

rusting.

EVA(1) GB/EU

Disposal

Disposing of the packaging

Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always confine ourselves here 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 used packaging materials are environmentally friendly and reusable. The cardboard parts are produced from recycled paper, and the wood parts are untreated. The plastics are marked as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packaging foils >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding (basically 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 needs replacing 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.

AH-3(3) GB/EU

Important hints

Operating your dishwasher economically and with regard for the environment

Connect your dishwasher to the hot water supply if you have a modern hot water system. For electrically heated installations, you are recommended to connect your dishwasher to the cold water supply.

Do not pre-rinse your dishes under running water. 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 detergent, special salt, and 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

Sponges, household cloths, and all objects which can become saturated with water should not be cleaned in your dishwasher.

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, and mother-of-pearl handles.

Crockery that may be suitable for your dishwasher

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, mustard, often cause

discolourations or staining on silver. Silver crockery and cutlery should there-

fore always be cleaned free from food residues if they are not washed imme-

diately 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.

How to operate your machine

Before using your dishwasher for the first time

To ensure protection of the crockery baskets during transport, we have packed them with clamps. Please remove all clamps before operating your dishwasher.

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 on the individual points.

Setting the water softening system

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 °d1(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 competent water company will provide you with information about water hardness in your locality. 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.
