Dear customer,

please read these user instructions carefully. Please observe the safety instructons on the first few pages of this instruction book. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety.

The warning triangle and/or specific words (Warning!, Caution!, Important!) are used to highlight instructions that are important for your safety or for the function of the appliance. It is imperative that these instructions are observed.

This symbol or numbered instructions lead you step by step through the operation of the appliance.

Next to this symbol you receive additional information and practical tips on using the appliance.

Tips and instructions for the economical and environmentally friendly use of the appliance are marked with a clover leaf.

In the event of a malfunction, these operating instructions contain information on how to rectify faults yourself, see the section ”In the event of a fault”.

Safety information

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:

General safety

● 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.

● Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for

safety reasons.

Before using the dishwasher for the first time

● Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Never connect a

damaged machine. In the case of damage, please contact your retailer.

● For information on how to correctly install and connect up your

dishwasher, please read the ”Installation” section.

● 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 can also be found on the rating plate.

Child safety

● Remember that the plastic bags included in the packaging can be

fatal playthings for small children.

● Children may not recognise the dangers of improper use of electrical

appliances. You should therefore ensure proper supervision during operation and not allow children to play with the 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 is not suitable for drinking. If there are

still remnants of degergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns. Keep children well away from the dishwasher when its door is open.

Instruction book

In daily use

● Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water

inlet or drain hose is damaged, or the control panel, or plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.

● 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.

● When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead.

● Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by a service

company authorized by the supplier. Use only spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair the dishwasher yourself, repairs carried out by unauthorized or inexperienced persons can cause injury or serious malfunctioning.

● 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.

● Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an

explosion!

● Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.

● Before using special dishwasher salt, detergent or rinse aid, make

sure that the manufacturer of these products expressly specifies their use in domestic dishwashers.

● The water safety system protects against water damages. The follo-

wing requirements must be fulfilled:

- The dishwasher must remain connected to the mains supply when switched off.

- The dishwasher must be correctly installed.

- Always shut off the water supply whenever the dishwasher is left unattended for an extended period.

Disposing of the packaging material

Caution!

Never leave packaging material in a place where children may play with it.

All materials used in packaging this appliance are environmentallyfriendly. The cardboard components of the packaging are made from recyclable paper and should be taken to a collection point for recycling.

>PE< stands for polyethylene, which is used for the bag around

the appliance and the bag in which these instructions were supplied.

>PS< stands for polystyrene (moulded), which is used for the sections

of packaging needed to cushion the appliance.

The appliance contains plastic and rubber components. These have identifying marks to show what they are made from, so they can be recycled or disposed of properly at the end of the appliance's life cycle. The materials are identified according to international standards.

Disposal of old appliances

At the end of the appliance's useful life, disconnect the electrical plug from the power supply, then cut the electrical lead at the point where it enters the appliance. Make quite sure that children will not be able to play with it.

General information

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 dishes 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 recom-

mended in this instruction booklet and by the detergent manufacturer.

For washing in the dishwasher the following

are not suitable:

- wooden platters

- plastic items that are not heat resistant

- lead crystal glass

- pewter or copper items

- bonded cutlery items or dishes

- older cutlery with cement that is not temperature resistant

- cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother of pearl handles

Instruction book

For washing in the dishwasher the following

are of limited suitability:

- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher safe by the manufacturer.

- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.

- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.

- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes.

Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher safe.

Adjusting the water softener

To prevent the build up of lime on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water i.e. water with a low lime content. This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener in which tap water from a hardness of 4°d (german degree) is softened with the aid of special salt.

Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the water hardness level for your area. Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area.

The water softener has 5 settings:

Water hardness

°d

mmol/l

> 24 > 4,2 18 - 24 3,2 - 4,2 12 - 18 2,1 - 3,2

4 - 12 0,7 - 2,1

below 4 below 0,7

1) german degree of measurement for the water hardness

2) millimol, internationel unit for water hardness *) factory setting

The dishwasher must be switched off.

1. Press in the On/Off button.

2. Press the combination buttons simultaneously and hold them pressed in. When the first three programme indicator lamps starts to flash, you can let go of the buttons.

3. Press the water softener button once. The lamps for the water softener and for the ended programme cycle starts to flash and a buzzer will sound, unless it is switched off.

- The number of flashes for the ended programme cycle and sound signals are equivalent with the set water hardness level.

- This sequence of flashes and sound is repeated several times after a few seconds pause.

4. The water hardness level is raised by 1 step every time you press the water softener button.

After hardness level 5 comes hardness level 1.

5. Once the hardness setting is set correctly, press the On/Off button.

If the setting 1 is chosen, the salt indicator lamp is not lit.
