3 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
water softener must be set according to the table to the water hard­ness in the area where you live. Your local water company will be able
to give you information about the water hardness in your area.

The dishwasher must be switched off.

Setting manually:

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Remove the lower basket from the

dishwasher.

3. Turn water hardness dial on the left
wall of the dishwasher interior to O
or 1 (see table).

Setting electronically:

Adding dishwasher Salt

To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with dishwasher
salt. Use only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.

If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with dishwasher salt:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the control indicator for dishwasher salt is illuminated on the

control panel.

1. Open the door and remove the low­er basket.

2. Unscrew the lid on the salt dispens­er by turning it anti-clockwise.

3. Only when using the dishwasher
for the first time:

Fill the salt dispenser with water.

4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the
dispenser opening.
Fill the dispenser with dishwasher
salt; the capacity of the dispenser is
approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on
the size of the grains. Do not overfill
the dispenser.

3 If water overflows when filling up with dishwasher salt, this is com-

pletely harmless.

5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.

6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.

7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with dish­washer salt. This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have

been spilt.

3 Depending on the size of the salt granules, it can take several hours for

the salt to dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for dish­washer salt to go out.

10

Filling Up with Rinse Aid

Rinse aid causes the rinse water to flow easily from the crockery leav­ing gleaming dishes and glassware.

If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:

– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control

panel.

Use only special rinse aid for dish­washers.

1. Open the door.
The rinse aid compartment is locat­ed on the inside of the dishwasher
door.

2. Press the release button on the rinse
aid compartment.

3. Open the cover.

4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to

the broken “max” line;
this corresponds to a volume of ap­prox. 140 ml when full.

5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into
place.

6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a
cloth. Otherwise there will be too
much foam when rinsing.

11

Setting the Amount of Rinse Aid Required

3 Only change the amount dispensed, if smears, milky spots (reduce the

amount) or dried on water spots (increase the amount) can be seen on
glasses and dishes. (See section “If dishwashing results are not satisfac­tory”.) The dosage can be set from 1-6. The dosage is pre-set to “4” in
the factory.

1. Open the dishwasher door.

2. Press the release button on the rinse

aid compartment.

3. Open the cover.

4. Set the dosage level.

5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into

place.

6. If rinse aid has leaked out, wipe it
away with a cloth.

Activating/Deactivating the Rinse Aid dispenser

If the 3in1 function is selected, you do not need to deactivate the rinse
aid dispenser.

1. Press the ON/OFF button.

3 If indicators for the programme buttons are lit, a dishwashing cycle is

activated. The cycle must be deactivated:
Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
All additional wash programme button indicators will go out.

2. Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 4 will flash.

3. Press function button 2 .
The LED indicator for function button 2 will flash.
The indicator for the end of the dishwashing cycle will display the cur­rent setting:

Indicator for the end of the cycle is lit:

Indicator for the end of the cycle is not lit: Rinse aid dispenser deactivated

4. Pressing function button 2 activates and deactivates the rinse aid dis­pensing function.

12

Rinse aid dispenser activated
(factory setting)

5. When the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct, press the ON/OFF but­ton.
The setting for the rinse aid dispenser is now saved.

In daily use

Loading cutlery and dishes

1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water

must not be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes
and pans tend to retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore
do not dry as well as those made of china and stainless steel.

For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes/pots and pans

are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn,
china or mother of pearl han­dles

• Plastic items that are not heat
resistant

• Older cutlery with cement
that is sensitive to temperature

• Dishes or cutlery with glued
parts

• Pewter or copper items

• Lead crystal glass

• Steel items that rust

• Wooden boards/platters

• Items made from synthetic ma-

terials

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

• Glazed patterns may fade if washed very fre­quently in the dishwasher.

• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing. Food remains, e.g.
egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discoloration and staining on silver. Therefore
always clean food residues from silver immedi­ately, if it is not to be washed straight after
use.

• Glass can become dull after a large number of
washes.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove the worst of the food residues.

– Soak pans with burnt-on food residues.

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

– Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so

that water cannot collect in them

– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover

one another

– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one another

13

– Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the dishes, but in

the cutlery basket, so that they can’t fall through the holes.

Loading cutlery

1 Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges

must be laid in the cutlery rack or in the upper basket to avoid the risk
of injury.

To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached
by the water, you should:

1.Place the grid insert on the cut­lery basket

2.Place forks and spoons in the
cutlery basket's grid insert with
their handles pointing down­wards.

14

For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid.

Pots, Pans, Large Plates

Load larger and heavily soiled dishes
and pans in the lower basket.
(Max. diameter for plates 29 cm).

To make it easier to load larger dish­es, the two plate racks on the right
in the lower basket can be folded
down.

15

Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service

Load smaller, fragile crockery and
long, sharp cutlery in the upper bas­ket.

• Arrange items of crockery on and
under the folding cup racks so
that they are offset from each
other and water can reach all
items.

• The cup racks can be folded up
out of the way for tall crockery
items.

• Lay or hang wine and brandy
glasses in the slots in the cup
racks.

16

Adding Detergent

Detergents remove the dirt from
dishes and cutlery.
The detergent must be added before
the cycle starts.

1 Only use detergent intended for do-

mestic dishwashers.
The detergent compartment is lo-

cated on the inside of the door.

1. If the lid is closed:
Press the release button.
The lid will spring open.

2. Place the detergent in the detergent
dispenser. The markings indicate the
dosing levels for powder detergents:
“20/30” corresponds to approx.
20/30 ml of detergent.
Follow the manufacturer’s instruc­tions with regard to dosing and
storage.

3. Close the lid and press until it locks
into place.

3 In the case of very heavily soiled

dishes, fill the adjoining compart­ment (1) with additional detergent.
This detergent comes into use during the pre-wash cycle.

17

Concentrated detergents

Today’s detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline
concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder
form.

2 Using 50°C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated

detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dish­washing cycles are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties
of the enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that us­ing 50 °C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with concentrated deter­gents can achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be
achieved using 65 °C cycles.

Detergent tablets

3 Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different

rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full
cleaning power during short cycles. Therefore please use dishwashing
cycles with pre-wash when using detergent tablets.

Using 3in1 detergents

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and
salt function.

1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Place detergent just in the detergent dispenser.

18

If you want to stop using 3in1 products, please do the following:

• Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.

• Switch the water softener to the highest setting and perform up to

three normal cycles without loading any dishes.

• Then set the water softener to the water hardness in your area.

result.

Removing the Dishes

3 It is normal for the inner door and the dispensers to be damp.

• Empty the lower basket first, then the upper basket. This way you

avoid dripping water from the upper basket onto dishes in the lower
basket.

21

Care and cleaning

Do not use furniture care products or aggressive cleaners.

1

• When necessary, clean the dishwasher’s controls with a soft cloth.

• Occasionally check the internal dispensers, door seal and water inlet

filter (if fitted) for dirt and clean them, if necessary.

Installation and connection instructions

1 Safety Information for the Installation

• Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt

water may run out.

• Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage

caused in transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an ap­pliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your
supplier.

• Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose

are damaged; or if the control panel, work top or plinth area are
damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.

• Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof

socket.

• Permanent connection: a permanent connection must only be in-

stalled by a trained electrician.

• Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated

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.

• Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

• The dishwasher’s cable must only be replaced by a Service Force Engi-

neer.

• A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a Serv-

ice Force Engineer.

30

Installing the Dishwasher

• The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to en-

sure that it is stable and level in all directions.

• To compensate for unevenness in

the floor and to match the height
of the appliance to that of sur­rounding units, extend the thread­ed feet using a screwdriver.

• The drain hose, inlet hose and

mains cable must be laid so that
they are able to move freely within
the plinth area, and so that they
are not kinked or crushed when the
dishwasher is in position.

• The dishwasher must also be

screwed tightly to the work surface
or to the adjoining units. This is essential to ensure the dishwasher
does not tip up.

31

Free-standing appliances

1 If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cooker, a heat-insulat-

ing, non-flammable panel (laminated with aluminium foil on the side
next to the cooker) must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work
surface (depth 57.5 cm).

If the appliance is built-in under a
kitchen work surface, the worktop
supplied with the dishwasher can be
removed in the following way:

1. Unscrew the screws from the elbows
at the rear (1).

2. Push the appliance’s worktop back­wards about 1 cm (2).

3. Lift the worktop at the front (3) and
remove it.

1 If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the work

surface supplied with it must be re-mounted.

3 The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

32

Connecting the dishwasher

Connecting to the water supply

• The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up

to max. 60°C.

• 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/cm2 =100 kPa)

Highest permitted water pressure:
10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa)

Consult your plumber if the water pres­sure is less than 1 bar.

If the water pressure is greater than 10
bar, a pressure reduction valve must be
used (available from your dealer).

Connecting the inlet hose

1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it

is being connected.
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 fitted
with either a plastic or a metal nut:

– Only tighten the plastic nut hand tight.
– You must tighten the metal nut using a tool.

Then do a visual check for water tightness (make sure that the tap is
not dripping).

3 So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of

the dishwasher, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a
T-branch to the existing tap.

If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, the following
VDE-approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available
from your local service centre.

33

Water drainage

Drain hose

1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled.

Connecting the drain hose:

– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bottom edge of the ap-

pliance.

Extension hoses

• Extension hoses are available from

your local Service Force Centre. To
ensure that the function of the ap­pliance is not impeded, the internal
diameter of extension hoses must
be 19 mm.

• Extension hoses must not be laid

more than a maximum distance of
3 metres horizontally; the maxi­mum permitted height for the con­nection for the drain hose is then
85 cm.

Sink outlet connection

• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly available

sink outlet types. The outer diameter of the sink outlet connection
must be at least 15 mm.

• The drain hose must be fixed to the sink outlet connection using the

hose clamp supplied.

34

Water drainage if the dishwasher is built-in at high level

If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the drain hose connec­tion is less than 30 cm from the lower edge of the appliance, adapter
kit ET 111099520 must be fitted by your local Service Force Centre.

Water drainage into sink (only possible with free-standing appli­ances)

If you wish to hang the drain hose over the edge of a sink, use a de­tachable hose elbow. You can obtain this from AEG Service Force by re­ferring to spare part number ET 646 069 190.

1. Fit the elbow to the drain hose.

2. Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slide off the edge of the sink.

Pass a piece of cord through the hose elbow and fix it to the wall or the
tap.

Anti-flood system

For protection from water damage, the dishwasher is equipped with a
anti-flood system.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water inlet hose immedi­ately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain
pump is activated. In this way water can neither escape nor overflow.
The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out.

35

Electrical Connection

measures not be observed.

Before switching on make sure the electricity supply voltage is the
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate.

To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the mains plug.
Important: The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has
been installed.

Changing a fuse

The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of hav­ing to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved
(BS 1363A) fuse must be used.

Should the plug need to be replaced
for any reason, proceed as described
below.
