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. 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.
4
● 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
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 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.
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.

When any of the push buttons are pressed, an audible signal informs you that the
machine has accepted the instruction given.
"Programme run" audible signal
An audible signal informs you that the washing programme is starting.
"End of programme" audible signal
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash programme has ended.
"Alarm" audible signal
The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help you determine the
cause of any problems (see "What to do, if...).
An audible signal informs you that an alarm is activated.
To deactivate these audible signals, press the "SMALL LOAD" push button for about
3 seconds, at the end of which an audible signal informs you that the audible signals
have been deactivated.
SO320
To reactivate these audible signals, press the "SMALLLOAD" push button for about
3 seconds, at the end of which an audible signal informs you that the audible signals
have been reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible signals) must be carried out
before starting a washing programme; the setting will remain memorised after
switching off the dishwasher.
10
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 half a 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 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

If your water hardness 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 0 the salt indicator
light on the control panel will always remain off.
11
To set a different level, proceed as follows:
1. Press the ON/OFF push button.
2. Press the "SMALL LOAD" and "DELAY START" push buttons simultaneously for
about 5 seconds, in the display will appear L4 which corresponds to the current
level.
3. Press the "DELAY START" push button as many times as necessary until the
required level appears in the display. The level increases by 1 each time the push
button is pressed. 5 seconds after this push button has last been pressed the
dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting
mode.

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 (not the "Rinse and hold" programme). 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.
12
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the
salt container.
2. Pour half a 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.
