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.
4
● 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.
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 your local 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.
6
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.

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, Clarke, 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.

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.
10
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.
The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre.
A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container, and
almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt.

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 knife or 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.
● Lead crystal glass.
● Steel items subject to rusting.

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.
14
The lower basket
UI19
UI04
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.
UI05
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.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable
cutlery basket with the handles facing
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.
A chemical reaction can occur between
silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery.
As a precaution, do not wash together.
15
The upper basket
US64
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 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 spray arms can rotate freely.
16
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.
17
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. As all
detergents are not the same, please
pay attention to the dosage
instructions from the manufacturer
of your brand.
Min = 15 g
Max = 30 g
D
MIN
MAX
3. Always close the lid.
DE17
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.
18
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.

water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
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!
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 escape.
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.

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the
levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet
until the machine is perfectly level.

Connecting the water supply
● This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water supply.
● Never connect your dishwasher to open hot water appliances and
continuous flow heaters!
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 dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to
the left or the right to suit the installation.
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical
specifications. Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.
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.

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.

Protection against flooding
In order to prevent water floods, the machine has been provided with a
device in the bottom of the machine and comes into operation as a result of
any water leaks in the machine and it functions only with the machine on.
