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 rating 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. 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).
5
● 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.
Disposing of packaging and old machines
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.
Disposing of the packaging
Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always
confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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 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 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

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.
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.
While the programme is running it will remain off.

To select a different level be sure that the dishwasher is off
and then proceed as follows:
1. Press INTENSIV 70° and 30 MIN programme push buttons simultaneously.
2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIV 70° and 30 MIN pressed
switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. The On/Off
indicator light comes on. At the same time, the indicator lights of the
INTENSIV 70° and 30 MIN push buttons start flashing.
Press the INTENSIV 70° push button, the indicator light of the 30 MIN push
button turns off, while the indicator light of the INTENSIV 70° push button
remains static for about 5 seconds and then starts to flash indicating the current
level.
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 continues 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 70° programme push button. Each time
the push button is pressed the level changes.
Examples:
If the current level is 3, by pressing the INTENSIV 70° programme push button
once, level 4 is selected.
If the current level is 5, by pressing the INTENSIV 70° programme push button
once, level 1 is selected.
The INTENSIV 70° 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
If rinse aid refilling is necessary, the rinse aid 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.
It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator light (see the following
instructions).
By default the rinse aid indicator light is active.
