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.
152985 56/1 en-es 30-11-1999 15:03 Pagina 4

5
●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
drainhose, 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.
152985 56/1 en-es 30-11-1999 15:03 Pagina 5

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 enables plastic
waste to be sorted into individual types for environmentally 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.
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.

Disposing of packaging and old machine
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.
Disposing of the packaging
Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we
always confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary.
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.

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.

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 0,5 l of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt.
5. Fill the rinse-aid dispenser.
Setting the water hardness range
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, 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 level 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

To set a different level, proceed as follows:
1. Press the On/Off pushbutton.
2. Press the "small load" and "delay start" pushbuttons simultaneously for
about 5 seconds, in the display will appear L4 which corresponds to the
current level.
2. Press the "delay start" pushbutton as many times as necessary until the
required level appears in the display. The level increases by 1 each time
the pushbutton is pressed. 5 seconds after this pushbutton has last
been pressed the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to
the programme setting mode.
SO281
If your water hardness is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is
no need to use salt. With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the
salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.

Filling with special salt
Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very
similar. The accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would
ruin the water softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you
have in your hand really is salt.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of
the salt container.
2. Pour 0,5 l 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.
Do not worry if water overflows
from the unit when filling with
salt, this is quite normal.
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.
When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically top up the
container with salt.
You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel
which will illuminate when the salt has finished.
SALE
SALT
SALZ
SEL
SR14
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 complete
washing programmes (not the "Rinse and hold" programme).
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may
have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for
any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
152985 56/1 en-es 30-11-1999 15:04 Pagina 14

15
Important: The salt refill indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuring the
dishwasher remains on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve
then this can take longer. The function of the dishwasher is not affected.
The rinse-aid
The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry. It is
automatically dosed in during the hot rinsing cycle. The storage
compartment built in to the in side of the door can hold about 110 ml of
rinse-aid, which will be sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing
programmes, according to the dosage setting.
Filling up the rinse-aid
1. Open the container by turning the
lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the
container is completely full. The
indicator (B) will be completely
dark.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.
Top up with rinse aid when the rinse aid
indicator light on the control panel
illuminates.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.
Attention! Do not put liquid detergent in
the rinse aid department.

Adjusting the dose
The correct dosage of the rinse-aid
should be regulated on the basis of
the shine and drying results.
For this purpose, set the quantity of
liquid by means of the six-position
selector (C) located on the inside of
the filler opening (minimum quantity
is position 1, maximum quantity is
position 6).
Use the tip of a knife or a screwdriver
to rotate the selector. If drops of
water or white marks remain on the
crockery after it has been washed,
gradually increase the dosage. If the
crockery comes out with whitish,
sticky streaks, reduce the dosage.
Start from position 3.

Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water
may not be washed in the dishwasher.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are not suitable:
●Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother of pearl handles.
●Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
●Older cutlery with cement that is not
temperature resistant.
●Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
●Pewter or copper items.
●Lead crystal glass.
●Steel items subject to rusting.
●Wooden platters.
●Items made from synthetic fibres.
●Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher
if it is specifically marked as being
dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
●Glazed patterns may fade if machine
washed frequently.
●Silver and aluminium parts have a
tendency to discolour during washing.
Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and
mustard often cause discolouring and
staining on silver. Therefore always
clean left-overs from silver immediately,
if it is not to be washed straight after
use.
●Some types of glass can become dull
after a large number of washes.
are of limited suitability:
Attention!
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof.
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid
clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance.
Open the door and slide out the baskets.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

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 two rear rows of prongs on the lower
basket can be easily lowered to allow tou to
load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
1. Slightly pull them upward and let them
drop down (see picture).
2. To bring them back to the standing
position, just pull them up again.
Warning!
Long bladed knives stored in an
upright position are a potentail
hazard. These items should only be
placed in the removable knife
basket. Take care when loading or
unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving knives must be placed horizontally

Cutlery basket
Place knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery basket with their handles
pointing downwards.
Arrange cutlery loosely and distribute it in all compartments so that each
individual article has good contact with washing water. Also do not arrange
spoons and forks with their dirty side in contact with each other.
Important! Exceptionally long cutlery, such as soup ladles, kitchen knives, or
the like, may obstruct the upper spray arm. Such cutlery can be placed in the
upper basket.
To unload your dishwasher more easily, you can take the cutlery basket out
of the lower basket and unfold it. This makes it easier to remove small pieces
of cutlery.
Important note! To prevent the full cutlery basket from inadvertently
unfolding when being taken out, place your hand right round the two-piece
handle and hold it firmly.
1. Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and unfold
both handle parts.
2. After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.
