5. PROGRAMME SELECTION
5.1 MY TIME
MY TIME selection bar allows to select a
suitable dishwashing cycle based on
programme duration.
CA B D E
A. Quick is the shortest programme
(30min) suitable for dishwashing a
load with fresh and light soil.
B. 1h is a programme suitable for
dishwashing a load with fresh and
lightly dried-on soil.
C. 1h 30min is a programme suitable
for dishwashing and drying normally
soiled items.
D. 2h 40min is a programme suitable
for dishwashing and drying heavily
soiled items.
E. ECO is the longest programme
offering the most efficient use of
energy and water consumption for
crockery and cutlery with normal soil.
This is the standard programme for
test institutes. 1)
5.2 AUTO Sense
The AUTO Sense programme
automatically adjusts the dishwashing
cycle to the type of load.
The appliance senses the degree of soil
and the amount of dishes in the baskets.
It adjusts the temperature and quantity of
water as well as the wash duration.
5.3 EXTRAS
You can adjust the programme selection
to your needs by activating EXTRAS.
ExtraSilent
ExtraSilent allows to reduce the noise
generated by the appliance. When the
option is activated, the wash pump works
quietly at a lower speed. Due to the low
speed, the programme duration is longer.
ExtraPower
ExtraPower improves the
dishwashing results of the selected
programme. The option increases the
wash temperature and duration.
GlassCare
GlassCare prevents delicate load,
glassware in particular, from damaging.
The option prevents rapid changes in the
dishwashing temperature of the selected
programme and reduces it to 45 °C.
5.4 Extras in the app
My AEG Kitchen app provides additional
dishwashing options. To access all
options, connect your dishwasher to the
app. See chapter "Wireless connection".
1) This programme is used to assess compliance with the Ecodesign Comission Regulation (EU)
2019/2022.

6.2 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals
from the water supply, which would have
a negative effect on the washing results
and on the appliance.
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. Set the right level of the
water softener to assure good washing
results.

ENGLISH 13

Multi-tabs containing salt are
not effective enough to
soften hard water.
Regeneration process
For the correct water softener operation,
the resin of the softener device needs to
be regenerated regularly. This process is
automatic and is the part of the normal
dishwasher operation.
When the prescribed quantity of water
(see values in the table) has been used
since the previous regeneration process,
a new regeneration process will be
initiated between the final rinse and the
programme end.
Water softener lev‐
el

2 100
3 62
4 47
5 25
6 17
7 10
8 5
9 3
10 3
In case of the high water softener setting,
it may occur also in the middle of the
programme, before the rinse (twice
during a programme). Regeneration
initiation has no impact on the cycle
duration, unless it occurs in the middle of
a programme or at the end of a
programme with a short drying phase. In
such cases, the regeneration prolongs
the total duration of a programme by
additional 5 minutes.
Subsequently, the rinsing of the water
softener that lasts 5 minutes may begin
in the same cycle or at the beginning of
the next programme. This activity
increases the total water consumption of
a programme by additional 4 litres and
the total energy consumption of a
programme by additional 2 Wh. The
rinsing of the softener ends with a
complete drain.
Each performed softener rinse (possible
more than one in the same cycle) may
prolong the programme duration by
another 5 minutes when it occurs at any
point at the beginning or in the middle of
a programme.
All the consumption values
mentioned in this section are
determined in line with the
currently applicable standard
in laboratory conditions with
water hardness 2.5mmol/L
(water softener: level 3)
according to the regulation:
2019/2022 .
The pressure and the
temperature of water as well
as the variations of the
mains supply can change
the values.
6.3 The rinse aid level
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes
without streaks and stains. It is
automatically released during the hot
rinse phase. It is possible to set the
released quantity of rinse aid.
When rinse aid chamber is empty, the
rinse aid indicator is on notifying to refill
rinse aid. If the drying results are
satisfactory while using multi-tablets only,
it is possible to deactivate the dispenser
and the indicator. However, for best
drying performance, always use rinse aid
and keep the rinse aid indicator active.
To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and
indicator, set the level of rinse aid to 0A.
6.4 End sound
You can activate an acoustic signal that
sounds when the programme is
completed.
Acoustic signals sound also
when a malfunction of the
appliance occurs. It is not
possible to deactivate these
signals.
www.aeg.com14

6.5 AirDry
AirDry improves the drying results. The
appliance door opens automatically
during the drying phase and remains
ajar.
AirDry is automatically activated with all
programmes.
The duration of the drying phase and the
door opening time vary depending on the
selected programme and options.
When AirDry opens the door, the display
shows the remaining time of the running
programme.
CAUTION!
Do not try to close the
appliance door within 2
minutes after automatic
opening. This can cause
damage to the appliance.
CAUTION!
If children have access to
the appliance, we advise to
deactivate AirDry. The
automatic opening of the
door may pose a danger.
6.6 Key tones
The buttons on the control panel make a
click sound when you press them. You
can deactivate this sound.
6.7 Latest programme
selection
You can set the automatic selection of
the most recently used programme and
options.
The latest programme that was
completed before the appliance
deactivation is saved. It is then selected
automatically after you activate the
appliance.
When the latest programme selection is
disabled, the default programme is ECO.
6.8 TimeBeam
TimeBeam displays the following
information on the floor below the
appliance door:
• The programme duration when the
programme begins.
•0:00 and CLEAN when the
programme is completed.
•DELAY and the countdown duration
when the delay start begins.
• An alarm code when the appliance
has a malfunction.
When AirDry opens the
door, TimeBeam is off. To
check the remaining time of
the running programme, look
at the control panel display.

8. BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Make sure that the current level of
the water softener agrees with the
hardness of the water supply. If
not, adjust the level of the water
softener.
2. Fill the salt container.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4. Open the water tap.
5. Start the programme Quick to
remove any residuals from the
manufacturing process. Do not use
detergent and do not put dishes in
the baskets.
After starting the programme, the
appliance recharges the resin in the
water softener for up to 5 minutes. The
washing phase starts only after this
procedure is complete. The procedure is
repeated periodically.
8.1 The salt container
CAUTION!
Use rough salt designed for
dishwashers only. Fine salt
increases the risk of
corrosion.
The salt is used to recharge the resin in
the water softener and to assure good
washing results in daily use.
How to fill the salt container
1. Turn the cap of the salt container
counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Put 1 litre of water in the salt
container (only for the first time).
3. Fill the salt container with dishwasher
salt (until it is full).
4. Carefully shake the funnel by its
handle to get the last granules inside.
5. Remove the salt around the opening
of the salt container.
6. Turn the cap of the salt container
clockwise to close the salt container.
CAUTION!
Water and salt can come out
of the salt container when
you fill it. After you fill the
salt container, immediately
start the shortest programme
to prevent corrosion. Do not
put dishes in the baskets.
