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).

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 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.

6

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

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.

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.

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.

7

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.

Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations the
dishwasher is performing.

"Instruction accepted" audible signal

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 simultaneously "Intensive 70°" and
"Normal 65°" push buttons, after about 3 seconds an audible signal informs you that
the audible signals have been deactivated.

To reactivate these audible signals, press simultaneously "Intensive 70°" and
"Normal 65°" push buttons, after about 3 seconds 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.

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.
You may change the factory level setting by means of the wash programme selector

push buttons. each push button corresponds to a different level.

Level 1 = "Rinse and Hold" push button
Level 2 = "Intensive 70°" push button
Level 3 = "Normal 65°" push button
Level 4 = "Bio 50°" push button
Level 5 = "Breve 50°" push button

BIO

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
1 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.

11

To set a different level, proceed as follows:

1. Press the "Intensive 70°" and "Bio 50°" programme pus huttons simultaneously

for about 5 seconds. The pilot light corresponding to the current level flashes.

2. Press within 5 seconds the programme push button corresponding to the required
level. After 5 seconds the the dishwasher will memorise the new level setting and
will return to programme setting mode.

The setting will remain memorised after switching off the dishwasher.

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.

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 the salt has been replenished, assuring 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 in side
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 department.

Adjusting the dose

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

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.

● Lead crystal glass.

● Steel items subject to rusting.

● Wooden platters.

● Items made from synthetic fibres.

● Only wash stoneware in the

dishwasher if it is specifically
marked as being dishwasher-safe
by the manufacturer.

● Glazed patterns may fade if

machine washed frequently.

● Silver and aluminium parts have a

tendency to discolour during
washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often
cause discolouring and staining on
silver. Therefore always clean left­overs from silver immediately,
if it is not to be washed straight
after use.

● Some types of glass can become

dull after a large number of
washes.

are of limited suitability:

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.

Open the door and slide out the baskets.

Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

15

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

Place knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery basket with their handles pointing
downwards.

Arrange cutlery loosely and distribute it in all compartments so that each individual
article has good contact with washing water. Also do not arrange spoons and forks
with their dirty side in contact with each other.

Important! Exceptionally long cutlery, such as soup ladles, kitchen knives, or the like,
may obstruct the upper spray arm.Such cutlery can be placed in the upper basket.

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.

UI12

UI51

UI25

16

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.

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.

UI20

17

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; these
should be arranged as shown in the pictures.

Glasses with long stems can be placed upside­down 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 outwards 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 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.

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.

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. As all detergents are
not the same, please pay attention to
the dosage instructions from the
manufacturer of your brand.

3. Always close the lid.

4. If the programme has a prewash add the

required detergent over the lid of the
dispenser.

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.

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

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 not only relieve the environment,
but also care for your crockery.

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.

3. Turn the handle about

Installation and connection instructions

Positioning

Set the machine up as close as possible to a water tap and a connection for waste
water.

In order to ensure the door closes and seals properly, it is necessary for the machine
to stand firmly and horizontally on the floor.

Adjust the screw feet upwards and downwards until the machine stands level.
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or worksurface.

Connecting the water supply

● Your dishwasher can be connected to either a cold or hot water supply of max.

60°C.

● Never connect your dishwasher to open hot 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.

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.

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.

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.

Water protection system

To protect your dishwasher from water damage, it is equipped with a water
protection system.

In all cases of malfunction a fault code will appear on the control panel.
The fault is recognised by the fact that the indicator light of programme "Normal
65°" will start flashing, 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.
