OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety Instructions
The safety aspects 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 Placing into Operation
• The dishwasher may only be transported upright.
• Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do not in any circum­stances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your retailer.
• Before installing the appliance, ensure that the nominal voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.
• For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dish­washer, please read the “Installation“ section. Adaptors / connectors and extension cables must not be used.
Child Safety
• This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.
• Keep all packaging away from children.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
• The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns!
• When disposing of an old appliance, cut off the power supply cable and remove any door catches, to prevent young children being trapped inside.
General Safety
• Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified serv­ice engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.
5
Operating Instructions
• Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.
• If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from AEG Service Force) must be replaced by a service engineer authorised by AEG.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the plug.
• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for safety reasons.
• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential haz­ard.
• Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
• When finished loading or unloading, close the door as an open door can be a hazard.
Correct Use
• Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer can­not accept any liability for any damage caused.
• Only use detergents specifically designed for use in domestic dish­washers.
• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explo­sion!
• The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against dam­age due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following preconditions 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.
6
Operating Instructions
• In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appli­ance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the mains: remove the fuse.
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
When disposing of old appliances, remove the plug and ensure that any locks or catches are removed to prevent young children becoming trapped inside.
Use an authorised disposal site.
2 Economical and Ecological Dishwashing
• 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 detergent manu­facturer.

Operating Instructions
Prior to using for the first time
Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips with which the baskets are secured for transport. Then perform the following steps:
0 1. Adjust the water softener
2. Fill the water softener with water and special salt
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid
Special salt and rinse aid must not be added if you use 3-in-1 detergent
3
tablets.
Water softener
To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The dishwasher therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and harder is softened with the aid of special salt.
Your water supplier will be able to inform you about the hardness and
3
hardness range of the water in your area. The water softener can be set manually using the water hardness switch; it can also be set electronically using the buttons on the control panel.

Operating Instructions
Special salt for the water softener
If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, then the water in
3
your dishwasher does not need to be softened and you do not need to use special salt or salt substitute.
Water can be softened in one of two ways:
• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt sub-
stitute, the detergent only is put into the detergent compartment. – In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and
electronically to 1 to ensure that no special salt is added.
• If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, the
special salt is to be put into the salt container. – In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and
electronically to between 2 and 10 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is dispensed from the salt container.
Only use special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply
1
container with different types of salt (e.g. cooking or table salt) or detergent. This would destroy 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.
Setting the amount of special salt to be added
Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3in1 function.
3
If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and select the 3in1 function together with the programme, the inflow of special salt does not have to be deactivated (see ”3in1 function”).
0 1. Set the water softener manually and electronically to the desired water

0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
3. 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 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 salt.
The water expelled by filling the salt container with salt runs out of the
3
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 dishwasher salt will leak
into the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse programme after filling the salt container with special salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that have been spilt.

Use of "3 in 1"/ Combi Detergent Tablets
General Advice
These products are tablets with combined detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions.
0 1. Before using these products you should first check that the water hard-
ness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products as per the detergent manufacturers instructions (on the product packaging).
2. These products should be strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or the cutlery basket as this will
1
result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the detergent doser.
3. If you encounter problems when using "3 in1" products for the first
time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging).
Special Advice
When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt lights are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to switch the rinse aid off ­please note that only some dishwashers have this facility - and selec­ting the lowest possible setting for water hardness.
For more information please refer to your instruction manual. If you decide to switch to the use of a standard detergent system we
advise that you:
• Refill both the salt and rinse aid compartments.
• Switch the waterhardness setting to the highest possible position
and run for three normal cycles without a load.
• Readjust the waterhardness setting again according to the conditions
for your region (as per the instruction manual).

Operating Instructions
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types: – conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components –low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of 50 °C wash programmes in conjunction with concentrated
2
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason 50 °C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C pro­grammes.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different makes dissolve at different speeds. For
3
this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use wash pro­grammes with pre wash when using detergent tablets.

2) Test programme for test institutes
3) The ECO 50° wash programme washes normally soiled dishes with a very low electricity consumption. If the dishes need to be washed more quickly, as an alternative you can use the NORMAL 50° wash programme.
4) Noise levels vary at different stages of the wash programme as at some programme stages the dishes are washed more energetically so that they will be cleaned more thor­oughly.
5) The consumption figures were determined under standard conditions. They are intended as a guide only and depend on the loading. For this reason figures may vary in practice.

3
them from the appliance, as hot dishes may be sensitive to knocks.
• Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15 minutes after the
end of the programme so that they dry better and can cool down.
• First empty the lower basket, and then the upper basket. This will
avoid any water that may be remaining in the upper basket, dripping onto the dishes in the lower basket and leaving water marks.

Installation and Connection Instructions
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the Dishwasher
• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted such
that it is stable and level.
• To compensate for unevenness in the
floor and to match the height of the
appliance to that of surrounding units
extend the threaded feet by unscrew-
ing:
– use a screwdriver.
• For built-in, integrated and fully integrated dishwashers, the rear feet
should be adjusted from the front of the appliance using a screwdriver.
• The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid such that
they are free to move in the rear of the plinth recess, so that they
cannot be kinked or crushed.
• The dishwasher must also be screwed on tightly to the work surface
or to the adjoining units. This is absolutely necessary so that its sta-
bility is guaranteed according to VDE regulations.
35
Installation and Connection Instructions
Dishwashers That Can Be Integrated
(see installation template supplied)
The door of the appliance can be fitted with a wooden/facing panel
3
with the following dimensions:
Width: 591 – 594 mm
Thickness: 16 – 24 mm
Height: (variable)

Installation and Connection Instructions
Connecting the Dishwasher
Water Connection
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.
• The dishwasher must be connected to a cold water supply.
•The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances
or instantaneous water heaters.
Permitted water pressure
Lowest permitted water pressure: 1 bar (=10 N/cm

=1 MPa)
Consult your installer if the water pres­sure is less than 1 bar.
In the case of a water pressure greater than 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve must be used (available from your dealer).
Connect the inlet hose
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it
1
is being connected up.
0 Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet
hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is equipped either with a plastic or with a metal connection nut: – Tighten plastic hose connection nuts by hand only. – Metal hose connection nuts must be tightened using an
appropriate tool. Finally, visually check that it is water-tight (ensure
that the tap is not dripping).
• In order that access to the tap in the kitchen is not limited by the use
3
of the dishwasher, we recommend the installation of an additional
tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the existing tap.
• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, VDE
approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from
your local Service Force Centre.
• Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used for
another appliance.
37
Installation and Connection Instructions
The following section is only applicable to dishwashers that have a
3
safety valve on the threaded hose fitting for the tap:
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water and the draining pump in the dishwasher is switched on.
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
1
– The distance between the bottom
edge of the safety value and the
floor on which the dishwasher is
standing must be at least 30 cm: – The electrical cable for the safety
valve is in the double-walled water
inlet hose. Do not immerse the
water inlet hose or the safety valve
in water. – If the water inlet hose or the safety
valve is damaged, remove the
mains plug immediately. – A water inlet hose with safety valve
must only be replaced by your local
Service Force Centre. – Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than
the bottom edge of the safety valve.
38
Installation and Connection Instructions

• Connecting the drain hose:
– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height 40 cm above the lower edge of the machine.
Extension hoses
• Extension hoses are available from
AEG Service Force. The internal
diameter of the extension hoses
must be 19 mm to ensure that the
function of the appliance is not
impeded.
• Hoses may be laid a maximum of
3 metres horizontally; the maximum
permitted height for the connection

When discharging into a standpipe, the upright standpipe should have a minimum, length of 30 cm (12“) from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
39
Installation and Connection Instructions
Leak Prevention System
For protection from damage due to water leaks, the dishwasher is equipped with a leak prevention system, the AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM. In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the appliance immediately interrupts the inflow of water and the drain pump is activated. By this means water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out.
The leak prevention system also works when the appliance is switched
1
off, the appliance must however not be disconnected from the mains.
Electrical Connection
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be car­ried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.
