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 circum-
stances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage,
please contact your supplier.
• Prior to placing the appliance in operation, 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. Multiway plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute
a safety hazard.
Child Safety
• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with the use
of electrical appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure
children are adequately supervised and that you do not allow children to play with the dishwasher – there is a risk that children can
shut themselves inside the appliance (risk of suffocation!).
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
• Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth, and throat, or even
cause choking! Please observe the manufacturer's safety instructions
for cleaners and detergents.
• 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 the dishwasher: unplug from the mains, cut off
and dispose of the mains cable. Break the door lock so that the door
no longer shuts.
5
Operating Instructions
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 customer
service or your dealer.
• 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 customer service) 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.
• Sharp knives and other item of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid
in the upper rack or placed in the cutlery rack with the point facing
downwards.
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.
• Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their
products in household 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.
6
Operating Instructions
– 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.
• In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appli-
ance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently
wired to the mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.
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
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher, please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the
costs, dispose of it for you.

Operating Instructions
2 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.
• 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 manufacturer of
the respective product.

Bio Wash Programmes and Concentrated Detergents
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be
split into two basic types:
– Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
– Weak alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of BIO wash programmes in conjunction with concentrated
2
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; the BIO wash
programmes are specially matched to the soil dissolving properties of
the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. It is for this reason that
BIO wash programmes can achieve the same results at 50 °C that can
otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C programmes.
During BIO programmes the water is briefly heated to 60 °C so that the
active oxygen becomes effective.
Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different
3
rates. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full
cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal
programmes with pre wash when using detergent tablets.

Load Sensing – Sensor Logic
If a wash programme is started even though there are only a few dishes
in the upper and/or lower rack, an intelligent electronic system adjusts
the amount of water and the duration of the wash programme to the
number of dishes. By this means it is possible to wash only a few dishes
quickly and economically. At half load (6 place settings), up to 2 litres
of water and 0.2 kWh of electricity are saved.

Emptying the Dishwasher
• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be
3
allowed to cool down before removing them from the appliance.
• The dishes will dry quicker if, when the programme has finished, you
briefly open the door fully and then leave it slightly ajar.
• 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 rack, and then the upper rack. By using this
procedure you will avoid any water that may be remaining in the
upper rack, dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and leaving
water marks.
Care and Cleaning
Do not under any circumstances use furniture care products or aggres-
1
sive cleaners.
• If necessary, clean the controls only with a soft cloth and pure warm
water.
• The spray arms do not need cleaning.
• Occasionally check the internal containers, door seal, and water inlet
for soiling, clean if necessary.

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.
• Using the spanner supplied, extend the threaded feet to compensate
for unevenness in the floor and to adjust the height of the appliance
to suit the surrounding units. The rear feet of the unit are to be
adjusted with a screwdriver from the front of the unit for built-in
and integrated dishwashers.
• 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
stability is guaranteed according to VDE regulations.
• Depending on type, the dishwasher is to be installed as follows:
Dishwashers That Can Be Integrated

Installation and Connection Instructions
If the facing panel is longer than 600 mm, the door of the appliance
1
cannot be opened completely (the facing panel bumps against the
plinth).
If this is the case, the plinth must be cut out (see installation template)
or the brace adapter for the extra long door BLT 60 must be used.
You can obtain this with the E No. 911 239 008.
Built-In Dishwasher
(see enclosed installation instructions)
Free-Standing Appliances
• can be set up as stand-alone without additional installation.

If the dishwasher is set up next to a gas or coal cooker, a heat-insulating, non-flammable plate must be mounted between the dishwasher and the cooker, flush to the top edge of the work surface
(depth
57.5 cm). The plate should have aluminium foil on the side facing the
cooker.
• If the dishwasher is installed underneath a kitchen work surface, the
original work surface of the dishwasher is to be removed as follows:
– Unscrew the screws (1) from the
elbows on the back side.
– Slide the work surface approx.
1cm to the rear (2)

work surface must be re-mounted.
Installation and Connection Instructions
3 The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
• Free-standing appliances can be
outfitted with a décor panel to
match the facings of other kitchen
equipment. The décor panels must
be obtained from the kitchen manufacturer. A décor frame is neces-
sary for installation, and can be
obtained as an accessory from the
dealer if not included in the scope
of delivery.
• Decor panel dimensions:
– Height 590 mm
– Width 581 mm
– Clamp thickness: max. 4 mm
• To ensure that thin decor panels do not flex or distort, attach them to
the door of the appliance using double sided adhesive tape.

Installation and Connection Instructions
Connecting the Dishwasher
Water connection
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the return of
wash water into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.
• 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 (=10N/cm2 =100 kPa)
Highest permitted water pressure:
10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa)
For a water pressure of less than 2 bar
please seek advice from customer service.
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 (DIN 259) on the water inlet hose to
a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). Tighten the threaded hose fitting only by hand.
• 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 the fitting a two way adapter 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 dealer:
– Hose set "WRflex 100" (E No.: 911 239 034)
– Hose set "WRflex 200" (E No.: 911 239 035)

• Connecting the drain hose:
– Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.
– Minimum required height 30 cm above the lower edge of the
machine.
Extension hoses
• Extension hoses are available from
your dealer or customer service.
The internal diameter of the extension hoses must be 19 mm to
ensure that the function of the
appliance is not impeded.
• Extension hoses may be laid a maximum of 3 metres horizontally; the
maximum permitted height for the
connection for the drain hose is
then 85 cm.
Siphon connection
• The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly available
siphon types. The outer diameter of the siphon connection must be at
least 15 mm.
• The drain hose must be fixed to the siphon connection using the hose
clamp supplied.
Water drain into wash basins (only possible with free-standing
appliances)
In the case that you wish to hang the drain hose in a wash basin, use a
detachable hose elbow. You can obtain this from AEG customer service
under spare part number ET 646 069 190.
0 1. Fit the elbow to the drain hose.
2. Secure the drain hose against sliding off the edge of the wash basin.
Pass a piece of cord through the hose elbow and fix it to the wall or the
tap.

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 immediately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain pump switches on. By this
means water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in
the appliance is automatically pumped out.
The AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM also works when the appliance is switched
1
off – the appliance must however not be disconnected from the mains.
Electrical connection
In compliance with electric company technical requirements for mains
1
connections, hard-wired connections to the mains may only be made
by approved electri-cians.
When connecting the appliance, observe the German VDE regulations
and, if applicable, any additional conditions required by your local electricity supplier. Following installation, live parts and live insulated wiring must not be accessible using a finger test in accordance with EN
60335/DIN VDE 0700.
Information on the electrical connection can be found on the rating
plate on the right side of the inner edge of the dishwasher door. If the
appliance has a change-over switch, the additional instructions on the
change-over diagram in the mains connector box must be observed.
Prior to connecting ensure that the mains voltage and current rating at
the site of installation match the nominal voltage and current rating
given on the rating plate. The required fuse protection is also to be
found on the 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.
If the appliance is hard-wired to the mains supply, then it must be
safely iso-lated from the mains within the electrical installa-tion with
an all-pole (N,L1) isolator (eg. protective cut-out) with a contact gap
of > 3 mm.
36
Installation and Connection Instructions
Connections
The water inlet and drain hoses, as well as the mains cable must be
connected beside the dishwasher because there is no space for them
behind the appliance.
The example plumbing and electrical installation given below can only
be regarded as a recommendation; the actual situation where the dishwasher is to be installed will define the exact installation (available
connections, local electricity and water board regulations for connecting up appliances, etc.).
