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 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. Keep children well away from your
dishwasher when its door is open.

4

Your dishwasher in day-to-day use

● Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, inlet hose or drain

hose, 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 your local AEG Service Force 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 as 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.

5

Disposing of packaging and old machines

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 and can cause suffocation. 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 local Council 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.

Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are
facilities in your area for recycling the appliance.

Economical and ecological dishwashing

● 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 use

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.

6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.

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 degrees and PPM

(parts per Million).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.

Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

If your water hardness is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is
no need to use salt. In this case adjust the water softener on level 1
without using salt.
The salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain

With a screwdriver turn the selector on the
upper front corner of the machine until the
level required corresponds with the marker.

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 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 indicator light on the control panel which will
illuminate when the salt has finished.

Important!

The salt refill indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6
hours after salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains on. If you are
using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. the function of the
dishwasher is not affected.

The rinse-aid

The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry. It is automatically
dosed in during the hot rinsing cycle. The storage compartment built in to the inside
of the door can hold about 110 ml of rinse-aid, which will be sufficient for between
16 and 40 dishwashing programmes, according to the dosage setting.

Filling up the 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.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B)

becomes clear.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with

an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming
during the next wash.

Attention! Do not put liquid detergent in
the rinse aid compartment.

The correct dosage of the rinse-aid should be regulated on the basis of the shine and
drying results.

For this purpose, set the quantity of liquid by
means of the six-position selector (C) located
on the inside of the filler opening (minimum
quantity is position 1, maximum quantity is
position 6).

Use the tip of a screwdriver to rotate the
selector. If drops of water or white marks
remain on the crockery after it has been
washed, gradually increase the dosage. If the
crockery comes out with whitish, sticky
streaks, reduce the dosage.

Start from position 3.

Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water must not
be washed in the dishwasher.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

are not suitable:

● Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or

mother of pearl handles.

● Plastic items that are not heat resistant.

● Older cutlery with cement that is not

temperature resistant.

● Bonded cutlery items or dishes.

● Pewter or copper items.

after a large number of washes.

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.

The 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.

12

UI13

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing

UI73

downwards.
if the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray

arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

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.

1. Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and unfold both
handle parts.

2. After unloading, fold back both handle parts.

Important note!

To prevent the full cutlery basket from
inadvertently unfolding when being taken
out, place your hand right round the two­piece handle and hold it firmly.

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.

UI59

13

The upper basket

US29

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24
cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in
the pictures.

If dishes are loaded in the upper basket, tilt them forwards.

US70

Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cup-racks.
Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down 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 spr ay arms can r otate freely.

14

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

A

RC01

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 outwards and slide the
basket out.

2. Refit the basket in the higher position
and replace the stops (A) in their
original position.

Attention!
When the top basket is in the higher
position it will only take plates up to 20 cm
in diameter and you will not be able to use
the raised cup racks.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.

15

Use of detergent

DE02

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.

Min = 15 g
Max = 30 g

D

3. Always close the lid.

MIN

MAX

4. If the programme has a prewash add the
required detergent over the lid of the
dispenser. Follow the recommended
quantity of detergent given in the

DE17

"Washing programmes" chart.

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.

Attention!
Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions
on the packet.

16

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 the correct amount of detergent also contributes
to reducing pollution.

BIO programmes and compact powders

On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be classified
into two groups:

- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components:

- low-alkaline compact powders with natural enzymes.
The enzymes in low-alkaline compact powders have a dirt-dissolving effect and are

also biodegradable. These enzymes deploy their full dirt-dissolving power within a
temperature range of 40-50°C. In BIO washing programmes, the temperature range
and duration of the heating phases are precisely matched to the dirt-dissolving
properties of the enzymes.

In combination with low-alkaline compact powders, BIO washing programmes, at a
temperature as low as 50°C, therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would
otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes.

The lack of any caustic components in low-alkaline compact powders and the lower
cleaning temperature of BIO washing programmes are not only environmentally
friendly, but also care for your crockery.

When the wash programme has finished, it is recommended that the
dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Interrupting a programme

● A programme underway is interrupted when you open the door.

● Close the door again. The programme will start again at the point it was

interrupted.

Caution!
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is
working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the
machine stops.

Caution!
Opening the door could let very hot steam escape: you risk being
scalded! Open the door with great care.
Do not open the door during the hot phase: this may cause hot water to
escape.

Connecting the water supply

● Your dishwasher should be connected to a cold water supply.

● Never connect your dishwasher to open hot water appliances and continuous

flow heaters!

We advise you use a cold water supply because a hot water supply is not always
efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes.

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.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications.
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. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided.

3. To a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 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.

The necessary extension hoses can be obtained from specialist shops or from your
local Service Force Centre.

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 intervention, turn off the water tap and call the Service Force Centre.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for the socket, it must be

cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Important!
The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:

Green and Yellow -Earth
Blue -Neutral
Brown -Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance
may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug.

Proceed as follows:

1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug

which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth symbol or coloured
green and yellow.

2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.

3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter "L" or coloured red.

The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI
fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is
indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the product.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Service Force Centre.

This appliance must be earthed.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility should this safety measure
not be observed.

Warning!
A cut-off plug inserted into a 13amp socket is a serious safety (shock)
hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
