OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety Instructions
The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Neverthe-
less, 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 supplier.
• Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure that the nominal
voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the sup-
ply 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 dish-
washer, please read the „Installation“ section. Multiway plugs / con-
nectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute
a safety hazard.
Child Safety
• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with the use
of electrical appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure
children are adequately supervised and that you do not allow chil-
dren to play with the dishwasher – there is a risk that children can
shut themselves inside the appliance (risk of suffocation!).
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for chil-
dren. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
• Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth, and throat, or even
cause choking! Please observe the manufacturer's safety instructions
for cleaners and detergents.
• 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 the dishwasher: unplug from the mains, cut off
and dispose of the mains cable. Break the door lock so that the door
no longer shuts.

Operating Instructions
6
General Safety
• Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified serv-
ice engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for
the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer
service or your dealer.
• 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 customer service) 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.
• Sharp knives and other item of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid
in the upper rack or placed in the cutlery rack with the point facing
downwards.
Correct Use
• Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is
used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer can-
not accept any liability for any damage caused.
• Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the special salt, deter-
gent, and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their
products in household dishwashers.
• Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explo-
sion!
• The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against dam-
age 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.

Operating Instructions
7
– 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.
• In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appli-
ance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently
wired to the mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.
2 Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material
Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packag-
ing materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recy-
cled.
• 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
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher, please take it to a recy-
cling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the
costs, dispose of it for you.
2 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 dishes under running water.
• Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soil-
ing on the dishes.
• Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recom-
mended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of
the respective product.

Prior to using for the first time
Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips with which the dish
racks are secured for transport.
Then perform the following steps:
0 1. Adjust the water softener
2. Fill with Special Salt for the Water Softener
3. Fill with Rinse Aid
3 Special salt and rinse aid must not be added if you use 3-in-1 detergent
tablets.
Water softener
To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes
must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The
dishwasher therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water
with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and harder is softened with the
aid of special salt.
3 Your water supplier will be able to inform you about the hardness and
hardness range of the water in your area.
The water softener can be set manually using the water hardness
switch; it can also be set electronically using the buttons on the control
panel.

responds to the hardness of the water in your area:
0 The dishwasher must be switched off.
Setting manually:
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the
dishwasher.
3. Turn the hardness range switch to 0
or 1 (see table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
Setting electronically:
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
The ON/OFF button’s LED will illuminate.
3 If other indicators are also illuminated, this means that a wash pro-
gramme has been activated. The wash programme must be deselected
(RESET):

All other indicators will go out.
2. Press function buttons 2and 3simultaneously and keep them
pressed.
The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash.
3. Press function button 1.
The LED indicator for function button 1will flash.
The LED indicator for the end of the wash programme will flash simul-
taneously:
– The number of times that the LED indicator for the end of the wash
programme flashes corresponds to the hardness setting.
– This sequence of flashes is repeated many times, with a 3 second
pause in between.
4. Pressing function button 1increases the hardness setting by 1.
(Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10).
5. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF button.

Special salt for the water softener
3 If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, then the water in
your dishwasher does not need to be softened and you do not need to
use special salt or salt substitute.
Water can be softened in one of two ways:
• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt sub-
stitute, the detergent only is put into the detergent compartment.
– In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and
electronically to 1 to ensure that no special salt is added.
• If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, the
special salt is to be put into the salt supply container.
– In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and
electronically to between 2 and 10 (depending on the water
hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from
the detergent container only.
1 Use only special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply
container with different types of salt (e.g. cooking salt) or detergent.
This would destroy the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of special salt in your hand.
Setting the amount of special salt to be added
3 Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3in1function.
If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and select the 3in1function
together with the dishwashing cycle, the inflow of special salt does not
have to be deactivated (see ”3in1function”).
0 1. Set the water softener manually and electronically to the desired water
hardness:
3 If the water softener is electronically set at “1” for the purpose of using
detergent that includes special salt, the special salt indicator is deacti-
vated.

Adding special salt
If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, add
the special salt:
– Before using the dishwasher for the first time.
– When the indicator for special salt Jis illuminated on the control
panel.
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. Only when using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the con-
tainer opening.
Fill the container with special salt
through the funnel; the capacity of
the container is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg
depending on the grain size. Do not
overfill the salt container with special salt.
3 The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs
out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment.
This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the
start of the next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise special salt will leak into
the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a
rinse programme after filling the salt container with special salt. This
will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that have been spilt.
3 Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
the salt to dissolve in the water and the special salt indicator Jto
extinguish. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption
of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid ensures that your dishes gleam and are free from spots, and
that your glasses are clear.
Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:
• If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid,
the detergent including the rinse aid is put into the detergent com-
partment.
– In this case the mode which dispenses rinse aid from the supply
container must be deactivated to avoid a double dosage.
• If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the
rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid supply container.
– In this case the mode which dispenses rinse aid from the supply
container must be activated.
– The amount of rinse aid to be dispensed must be set.
1 Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid con-
tainer with any other substance (e.g. concentrated vinegar) or dish-
washer detergent. This would damage the appliance.
Activating/deactivating the inflow of rinse aid
3 Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3in1function.
