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.
Child safety
● 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.
● Children may not recognise the dangers of improper use of electrical appliances.
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.
42
Your dishwasher in day-to-day use
● Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, supply or drainhose,
control panel, worktop or plinth are damaged.
● If there is a fault, first turn the water tap off. Then switch off your machine and
pull the plug out of the socket. If there is a fixed connection, switch off or
unscrew the fuse(s).
● Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable - always hold the plug.
● 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.
● Never place any solvents in your dishwasher or you may cause an explosion!
● Do not rest or sit on the open door or the machine could tilt.
● Before using special dishwasher salt, detergent or rinse-aid, make sure that the
manufacturer of these products expressly specifies their use in domestic
dishwashers.
● 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.
● Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position. Tipping it upside down
during transport could cause salty water to leak into the internal compartment
and lead to the formation of rust.
43
Disposing of packaging and old machine
Disposing of the packaging
Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always
confine ourselves 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 packaging materials used are environmentally compatible and reusable.
The cardboard parts are produced from recycled paper, and the wood is untreated.
The plastics are marked as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packaging foils.
>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding (essentially CFC-Free).
>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clamps.
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 finally reaches the end of its life 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 main 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.
44
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 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 recommended in these
operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation
instructions.
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance.
3. Set the water softener.
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt.
5. Fill the rinse-aid dispenser.
Setting the water hardness range
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German, French and PPM degrees.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.
To ensure optimum regeneration of the water softener:
- the water softener must be adjusted to the local water hardness;
- the dishwasher salt container must always be filled with special salt.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt indicator
light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the
INTENSIV 70° indicator light, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of
flashes, this for about 60 seconds.
Example:
1 flash = level 1
2 flashes = level 2
3 flashes = level 3
4 flashes = level 4
5 flashes = level 5

Filling with special salt
Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very similar. The
accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would ruin the water softener .
Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you have in your hand really is salt.
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher,
especially table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing
programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt
container.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container
(this is necessary only before filling with salt
for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until
the container is full.
Do not worry if water overflows from the unit
when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no
trace of salt on the screw thread or on the
gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.

When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically top up the container
with salt. You are reminded of this by the salt container indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has run out.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6
hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains
switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can
take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt indicator
light will illuminate only in setting mode and at the end of the
washing programme.
50
During the run of the programme it will remain off.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and
spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds
about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes,
depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with rinse aid
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A)
anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is
completely full.
The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid
indicator light on the control panel
illuminates.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid
compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.

Attention!
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof.
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging
the filters and consequently reducing the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets.
53
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket,
ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

Cutlery basket
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.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing
downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the
lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing downwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent the from sticking together.

Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery
basket separate from the others.
To unload your dishwasher more easily, you can take the cutlery basket out of the
lower basket and unfold it. This makes it easier to remove small pieces of cutlery.
Important note! To prevent the full cutlery basket from inadvertently unfolding
when being taken out, place your hand right round the two-piece handle and hold it
firmly.
1. Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and unfold both
handle parts.
2. After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.

The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert
plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in
diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down
in the cup-racks
The cup-rack on the left folds upwards to increase
your loading flexibility.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so
that water can reach all surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so
they do not move.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load
them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the
upper basket outward and slide the basket
out.
2. Refit the basket in the higher position and
replace the stops (A) in their original
position.
When the top basket is in the higher position it
RC01
will only take plates up to 20 cm in
diameter and you will not be able to use the cup racks.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door
can be a hazard.

Use of detergent
Attention!
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing
programmes" chart. As all detergents are not the same, please pay attention also
to the instructions from the manufacturer of your brand.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of detergent over the lid of
the dispenser according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing
programmes" chart.
DE17
DE02
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of
the detergent dispenser.
At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash.
Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor
washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not
improve washing results and is also wasteful.
Using no more than correct amount of detergent also contributes to
reducing pollution.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been
replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegr adable substances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the "50°C" programmes you can therefor e achieve the same cleaning r esults
that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional
detergents.

Maintenance and cleaning
Internal and external cleaning
Do not under any circumstances use furniture care products or
aggressive 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.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using
detergent.
Cleaning the filters
The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to large extent self-cleaning.
Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty
filters will degrade the washing result.
1. Open the door, remove the lower
basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises
a coarse/fine filter, microfilter and a
flat filter.
Unlock the filter system using a handle
on the microfilter, and remove.

Declaration of guarantee terms
Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur. Our
consumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the
guarantee period. The service life of the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a result.
This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the
provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this legislation
are not affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendor’s statutory warranty to the end user. The appliance
is guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following terms:
1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of
charge any defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is delivered
to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent
purposes.
2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in
before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of
charge become our property.
3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention
immediately.
4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase showing
the purchase and/or delivery date.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous
ceramic), synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or the
overall reliability of the appliance.
7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:
● a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,
● abnormal environmental conditions in general,
● unsuitable operating conditions,
● contact with harsh substances.
8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred outside of
our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate installation or
assembly, lack of maintenance or failure to respect the assembly instructions or directions
for use.
9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are not qualified or
expert or defects that result from the addition of non-original accessories or spare parts
are not covered by the guarantee.
10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer services
department. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or built-in appliances.
11. If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that removing
and replacing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half an hour, the
costs that result therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage caused by these
removal and replacement operations will be the responsibility of the user.
68
12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or if
the repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with the consumer, the
defective appliance may be replaced with another appliance of the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated according
to the length of time it has been used.
13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be
extended nor that a new guarantee period begins.
14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.
15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee terms
excludes any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the consumer
wishes to assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, compensation will not
exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance.
These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For
exported appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical conditions
(e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the country concerned
and that they can withstand the local climatic and environmental conditions. For appliances
purchased abroad, the user must first ensure that they meet the qualifications required in
Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments are not covered by the guarantee and are not
possible in all cases.
Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee period
has expired.

Connection instructions
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a
qualified electrician or competent person.
Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a
qualified plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
Water supply connections
● Your dishwasher can be connected to either a hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.
● Never connect your dishwasher to open water appliances and continuous flow
heaters!
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the
washing programmes a lot.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your
area.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply.
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a
long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet
hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another
appliance.
Your dishwasher has been built in accordance with the valid regulations governing
water-consuming appliances and is equipped with safety devices which prevent used
water from flowing back into the drinking water mains.

Water outlet connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows:
1.To the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip.
2.To a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.

Ø 18
min 4 cm
min 30 cm
max 100 cm
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm
(maximum) from the floor.
It makes no difference which way the drain hose faces, either to the right or left of
the dishwasher.
Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could prevent or slow down the discharge
of water.
Extension hoses
The necessary extension hoses can be obtained from specialist shops or from our
technical assistance centres.
The extension hose must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must
be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connection to the waste
outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the drain hose.
Arrange the extension hose horizontally along the floor and allow it to rise only
where it is to be connected to the drain.

Protection against flooding
The machine is fitted with a device in the bottom of the machine to protect against
flooding.
The device will operate if there are any water leaks in the machine, however it will
only operate if the machine is on.
In case of malfunction, the "washing" and "drying" phase indicator lights start
flashing (see "What to do, if.....").
In this case turn off the water tap and call the Service Centre.
Electrical connection
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:
1. The mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the technical specifications.
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the maximum
load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use any type
of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above
safety precautions.
