OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Operating instructions
44
152969 94/0de-en 8-04-2003 13:04 Pagina 44

●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 drain hose, 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 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.

Disposing of packaging and old machine
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, who could even be suffocated! 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 en-
ables plastic waste to be sorted into individual types for environmen-
tally 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.

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.

Prior to using for the first time
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
6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme
The water softener
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 degrees,
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 position 2.
If your water is below level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no
need to use salt. In this case adjust the water softener on level 1
without using salt.
If the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 and no salt is being
used, the salt refilling indicator light on the control panel will always
remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.

Setting the water softener
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness switch until the required level (see table)
corresponds with the marker .
4. Replace the lower basket.
Filling with salt
Special salt can be added in one of two ways:
●If you are using dishwasher detergent that already integrates the
salt function, this must be placed in the detergent compartment.
- In this case the water softener must be set to level 1 without
putting salt in the salt container.
●If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately,
the special salt is to be put into the salt container.
- In this case the water softener must be set to between level 1 and
5 (depending on the water hardness in your area).
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 washing
programmes (except the Rinse and Hold programme).
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have
been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period
of time, which may cause corrosion.
Operating instructions

152969 94/0de-en 8-04-2003 13:04 Pagina 51

To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
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.
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
turning it clockwise until it
stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are
reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which
will illuminate when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished,
assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using
salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The
function of the machine is not affected.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt,
this is quite normal.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which
is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is
sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the
dosage setting.
Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:
●If you are using dishwasher detergent that already integrates the
rinse aid function, this must be placed in the detergent
compartment.
- In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty.
If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait
until it has finished before using detergent that contains rinse aid.
●If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the
rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid dispenser.
- In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position from 1 to
6 (see "Adjusting the dose").
Filling with rinse aid
(Rinse aid dispenser type A)
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).
2. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level indicator marked
"max".
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
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.
The 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.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in
the cutlery basket separate from the others.

load them starting from the rear
positions of the basket; tilting
them slightly forwards and
avoiding the front positions near
the door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate
freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates 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.
After loading your machine always
close the door, as an open door
can be a hazard.

Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent contributes
to reducing pollution.
Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the "Rinse and Hold"
programme, that does not require the use of detergent). The detergent
is released during the washing phase.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage
recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.
Fill with detergent
(Detergent dispenser type A)
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent.
The marking indicates the dosing levels:
