Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety Instructions
The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Neverthe­less, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:
Installation, Connection and Placing into Operation
The dishwasher may only be transported upright.
Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do not in any circum-
stances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your retailer.
Before installing the appliance, ensure that the nominal voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.
For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dish­washer, please read the “Installation“ section. Adaptors / connectors and extension cables must not be used.
Child Safety
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.
Keep all packaging away from children.
Keep all detergents in a safe place out of childrens reach.
The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are
still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns!
When disposing of an old appliance, cut off the power supply cable and remove any door catches, to prevent young children being trapped inside.
General Safety
Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified serv­ice engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.
5
Operating Instructions
Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.
If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from AEG Service Force) must be replaced by a service engineer authorised by AEG.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the plug.
Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for safety reasons.
Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves.
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.
When finished loading or unloading, close the door as an open door can be a hazard.
Correct Use
Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer can­not accept any liability for any damage caused.
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in domestic dish­washers.
Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explo­sion!
The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against dam­age due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following preconditions must be met: – The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is
switched off.
The dishwasher must be correctly installed.Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is
not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on holiday.
Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.
6
Operating Instructions
In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appli­ance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the mains: remove the fuse.
2 Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material
Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packag­ing materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recy­cled.
Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free) >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips
Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and
should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.
Disposal of Old Appliances
When disposing of old appliances, remove the plug and ensure that any locks or catches are removed to prevent young children becoming trapped inside.
Use an authorised disposal site.
2 Economical and Ecological Dishwashing
Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.
Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.
When you wash a small load, the load sensor calculates the amount
of water necessary and shortens the programme. It is more economi­cal to always wash with a full load.
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 detergent manu­facturer.

Operating Instructions
Adjust the Water Softener
To avoid the scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content, water. The dish­washer therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water from a
hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid of special salt.
You water supplier will be able to inform you on the hardness and
3
hardness range of the water in your area.
0 Adjust the water softener to the setting that corresponds to the hard-
ness of the water in your area. The water softener can be adjusted in 10 steps.
