The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales.
The water 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. It is important to set the
right level of the water softener to assure
good washing results.

10. HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 General
The following hints will ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and also help to protect the
environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.
When needed, use the prewash
programme (if available) or select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make
sure that the dishes can be
completely reached and washed by
the water released from the spray arm
nozzles. Make sure that items do not
touch or cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent,
rinse aid and salt separately or you
can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'',
''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the
instructions written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to
the type of load and degree of soil.
With the ECO programme you have
the most efficient use of water and
energy consumption for crockery and
cutlery with normal soil.
10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
for dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.
• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in
areas with a water hardness up to 21
°dH. In areas exceeding this limit,
rinse aid and salt must be used in
addition to the multi-tablets.
However, in areas with hard and very
hard water we recommend to use
solo-detergent (powder, gel, tablets
without additional functions), rinse aid
and salt separately for optimal
cleaning and drying results.
• If you use multi-tablets you can select
the Multitab option (if available). This
option increases the cleaning and
drying results with the use of multi-
tablets.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
10.3 What to do if you want to
stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid do the
following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent
and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according
to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
10.4 Loading the baskets
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items
made of wood, horn, aluminium,
pewter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that
can absorb water (sponges,
household cloths).
• Remove remaining food from the
items.
• Make soft the remaining burned food
on the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
www.aeg.com
14

• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do
not bond together. Mix spoons with
other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not
move.
• Make sure that the spray arm can
move freely before you start a
programme.
10.5 Before starting a
programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the
type of load and for the degree of
soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
10.6 Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before
you remove it from the appliance.
Hot items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower
basket, then from the upper basket.
At the end of the
programme water can still
remain on the sides and on
the door of the appliance.
11. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Before maintenance,
deactivate the appliance and
disconnect the mains plug
from the main socket.
Dirty filters and clogged
spray arms decrease the
washing results. Make a
check regularly and, if
necessary, clean them.
11.1 Cleaning the filters
The filter system is made of 3 parts.
C
B
A
1. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise
and remove it.
ENGLISH 15

2. Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B).
3. Remove the flat filter (A).
4. Wash the filters.
5. Make sure that there are no residues
of food or soil in or around the edge
of the sump.
6. Put back in place the flat filter (A).
Make sure that it is correctly
positioned under the 2 guides.
7. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C).
8. Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter
(A). Turn it clockwise until it locks.
CAUTION!
An incorrect position of the
filters can cause bad
washing results and damage
to the appliance.
11.2 Cleaning the spray arms
Do not remove the spray arms. If the
holes in the spray arms are clogged,
remove remaining parts of soil with a thin
pointed object.
11.3 External cleaning
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft
cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products,
abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.
11.4 Internal cleaning
• Carefully clean the appliance,
including the rubber gasket of the
door, with a soft damp cloth.
• If you regularly use short duration
programmes, these can leave
deposits of grease and limescale
inside the appliance. To prevent this,
we recommend to run long duration
programmes at least 2 times per
month.
• To maintain the performance of your
appliance at its best, we recommend
to use monthly a specific cleaning
product for dishwashers. Follow
carefully the instructions on the
packaging of the product.
