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.

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.

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.

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.

Disposing of packaging and old machine

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.

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.

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.

If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. 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.

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.

To select a different level be sure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows:

1. Press INTENSIV 65° and NORMAL 50° programme push buttons simultaneously.

2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIV 65° and NORMAL 50°

pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light comes on. At the same time, also the indicator light of the INTENSIV 65° push button comes on and remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing indicating the current level of the water softener.

The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the INTENSIV 65° 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

3. To change the level, press the INTENSIV 65° programme push button. Each time the push button is pressed the level changes.

Examples:

if the current level is 3, by pressing the INTENSIV 65° programme push button once, level 4 is selected

if the current level is 5, by pressing the INTENSIV 65° programme push button once, level 1 is selected

The INTENSIV 65° indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the new level selected.

4. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

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. During the run of the programme it will remain off.
