Dishwasher
Operating Instructions

Dear Customer
Before you put your dishwasher to use, please read this Instruction booklet thor-
oughly. It contains important information for your safety, and on the use, installa-
tion and maintenance of the machine. Your dishwasher will repay this effort with
excellent performance. If you have a problem with the dishwasher, look at the
chapter “Troubleshooting”.
In many cases, you can solve the problem yourself and thus avoid service
charges.
Take care of the Instruction booklet for later use. Pass it to any second owner.

The safety of AEG domestic appliances complies with the recognised technical
regulations and laws regarding mechanical safety. Nevertheless, as the manu-
facturer, we regard ourselves as obliged to give you the following safety advice:
Use as directed.
(J Only use the dishwasher for household dishes. If the dishwasher is misused,
you will be liable for any resulting damage.
(J Alteration or conversions to the dishwashers are not allowed for safety rea-
sons.
Before first use
(I) Check the dishwasher for transport damage. A damaged machine should
never be switched on. In case of damage, contact your supplier.
(J The dishwasher must be installed and connected properly. Read the chapter
"Installation” for all you need to know about this.
©) Before first use, make sure that the nominal voltage and current stated on the
machine's rating plate comply with the nominal voltage and current in your
area.
© When installing the dishwasher next to a source of heat, a heat insulated plate
must be installed for protection.
Child Safety
CJ Pieces of packaging (e.g. foil or polystyrene) can pose a danger to children.
There is danger of suffocation! Keep pieces of packaging away from children.
[J Children often do not recognise dangers posed by machines, therefore you
should keep children away from the machine when it is in operation. There is
also the risk of children getting trapped in the machine.
[J Detergents can cause irritation to the body and even lead to suffocation. Keep
cleaning agents out of children’s reach.
©) Water in the dishwasher is not drinking water. During the main wash, the
water will contain detergent that could be harmful if swallowed. Keep children
away from the dishwasher when in use.
SH-3 GB/UK

SH-3 GB/UK
Everyday Use
© The flood protection system will only operate correctly if:
— the appliance is plugged into the socket and the electrical supply is main-
tained
— the dishwasher has been corrctly installed
~— the water supply is shut off the dishwasher is not in use for prolonged periods.
(J Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, inlet or drain hose are damaged,
or the control panel, worktop or socket area is so damaged that the interior of
the machine is exposed.
CI In case of malfunction, first close off the water tap. Then switch off the ma-
chine and pull out the power plug. If hard wired: turn off the mains electricity,
pull out the fuse and disconnect the appliance.
CO) Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable. Always use the plug itself.
© Repairs to the dishwasher may only be carried out by qualified service engi-
neers. Inappropriate repairs can cause considerable danger to the user. If there
is a malfunction, please contact our Customer Service Department.
© Do not pour solvent into the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!
CJ Do not sit on or lean on the open door. This could tip the machine over.
CJ Make sure that the salt, detergent and rinse aid are designed for use in do-
mestic dishwashers,
(J Always close the water tap if the dishwasher is not to be used for a length of
time, e.g. holidays.
(J The dishwasher should only be transported in an upright position. Not doing
SO may result in a salt water solution entering the dishwasher interior possibly
Causing rust marks.

Disposal of Packaging
AEG dishwashers require effective packaging for the rigours of transportation.
We limit this to what is absolutely necessary.
Pieces of packaging (e.g. foil or polystyrene) can pose a danger to children.
There is danger of suffocation! Keep pieces of packaging away from children.
All packaging materials used are environmentally friendly and recyclable. Card-
board pieces are made from used paper and wooden items are untreated. Plas-
tic items are marked as follows:
PE = polyethylene, e.g. packing film
PS = polystyrene, e.g. packing (CFC-free)
POM = polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips
By using and re-using the packaging, raw materials are saved and waste volume
is decreased.
Take the packaging to the nearest recycling centre. You can find out where this is
from your Local Government Office.
Disposal of Old Machines
When you stop using your old machine, you should make it safe before dispos-
ing of it.
Plastic Labelling for Easy Recycling
All plastic parts in the machine are labelled with internationally recognised ab-
breviations (e.g. PS=polystyrene). Therefore, when disposing of the machine,
you can sort the plastic parts into groups for recycling purposes. Take your old
machine to the nearest recycling centre, who will dispose of it for a small charge.

Economical and Environmentally Friendly Washing
Connect the dishwasher to hot water if you have a modern, high-efficiency hot
water system. Connection to the cold water supply is recommended for electri-
cally heated water systems. Do not rinse the dishes under running water before-
hand.
Try to use the dishwasher only when it is full, since this way you wash economi-
cally and in an environmentally friendly way.
However, if you are only washing a small amount, the Sensorlogic electronically
calculates the exact amount of water required. In this way, you achieve the best
wash results with the minimum water and energy consumption.
Always select a wash programme which is suited to the type of crockery as well
as the level of soilage (See Programme Guide).
Above all, avoid using excessive amounts of detergent, salt and rinse aid. Con-
sult the dosing instructions in this Instruction booklet as well as the detergent
manufacturer's recommendation.
Ensure that the water softening unit is correctly set.
Unsuitable for Dishwashing
Sponges, household cloths, and all objects which can be saturated with water
should not be cleaned in your dishwasher.
ltems unsuitable for dishwashing include:
— wooden chopping boards
— non heat-resistant plastic items
— lead crystal
— tin and copper items
— items of crockery or cutlery repaired with glue
— older cutlery containing heat sensitive compounds
— rust-sensitive steel items
— cutlery with handles made of wood, bone, porcelain or mother of pear!
Suitable for Dishwashing
Most modern tableware is suitable for dishwashing, however there are excep-
tions. Unless confirmed as dishwasher safe by the manufacturer, some items
may be adversely affected when washed in a dishwasher, e.g.
— only wash stoneware in a dishwasher if the manufacturer confirms that it is
dishwasher safe
— glazed designs fade after many machine washes
— silver and aluminium tend to discolour when washed
— food remnants such as egg white, egg yolk and mustard, often cause
discolouration and tarnishing of silver, therefore always clean food remnants
off silverware straight away, even if you are not washing immediately.
— some types of glass go dull after many washes.
When you buy new crockery, glasses and cutlery, be sure that they are dish-
washer safe.

2) Values were calculated under normal conditions. Deviations are possible in practice.
3) On the AUTOMATIC programmes, the turbidity of the dishwashing water is used to determine how heavily your
crockery is soiled. If your crockery is heavily soiled, your dishwasher runs the programme sections in paratheses.
If your crockery is lightly soiled, your dishwasher omits these programme sections. The programme duration and
water and energy consumption on the AUTOMATIC programmes may therefore vary. 43

Before First Use
The dishwasher baskets are protected for transportation by special clamps.
Please remove all these clamps before you use the dishwasher.
After the dishwasher is installed you must prepare it for operation.
Before first use, carry out the following procedure:
— set up the water softening unit
— fill the salt container with salt
— fill the rinse aid dispenser
You will find comprehensive information on the individual point in the following
chapter.
Setting the Water Softening Unit
Soft (calcium-free) water is required for machine-washing dishes in order to avoid
calcium deposits on the crockery and in the dishwasher. Therefore,water with a
hardness of more than 4° Clarke must be softened for using in a dishwasher.
The dishwasher has a water softening unit for this purpose. The water softening
unit is automatically and regularly dosed with salt solution. The amount of salt
needed for regeneration depends on local water hardness.information on water
hardness and the range of hardness in your home is obtainable from your local
Water Authority.
To ensure optimum regeneration of the water softener:
— the water softening unit must be adjusted to the local water hardness
— the salt in the salt container must always be full
VIB GB/UK-WHB-1 GB/UK

WHB-1 GB/UK
To ensure minimum salt usage and optimum cleaning results, the dishwasher
has an electronic hardness setting with ten available settings - HO-H9.

Refilling the Dishwasher Salt
NOTE:
lf the water hardness in your home is less than 4°Clarke, you do not need to add
dishwasher salt.
Warning!
Only use dishwasher salt. Other types of salt (e.g. cooking salt) often contain
water insoluble components which block the softener and make it unusable.
The packaging of dishwasher salt and dishwasher detergent often appear very
similar. Before each refill, check that you have a Salt packet in your hand.
Dishwasher detergent accidentally poured into the salt container will destroy the
water softener!
(J Open door. Pull out lower basket.
Warning! Directly after wash the heating element in the bottom of the dish-
washer will remain hot for a time. Danger of burns. Do not touch the heating
element!
(© Open the salt container cap in an anti-clockwise direction and remove.
When filling for the first time, pour approx 0.5 litre of water into the container.
(J Place funnel in the opening and pour salt into the container. Capacity depends
on the granule size of the salt, 1-1.5 kg. Do not overfill the salt container.
SAE-5(1) GB/UK

SAE-5(1) GB/UK - SNA-1(1) GB/UK
(J Remove any excess salt granules from around the opening of the salt con-
tainer.
(J Replace the cap and turn in clockwise direction to the locking position. The
cap must be tightly closed otherwise salt will get into the wash water. Dull
glasses can result.
(J) If you do not use the dishwasher immediately after refilling the salt, you should
run a PRE WASH programme so that excess salt water and granules are washed
away.
Salt Refill Indicator
You should refill the salt container when the salt indicator is illuminated on the
control panel. Depending on the granule size of the salt, it may take a few hours
before the SALT indicator goes out.

18
Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aid is designed to ensure that the rins water runs off the dishes and glasses
leaving them free of water marks and sparkling.
The rinse aid is automatically dispensed during the wash programme.
IMPORTANT! Only use rinse aid designed for use in domestic dishwashers.
Other rinsing agents such as vinegar with a acid content greater than 5% could
damage the dishwasher and in any case do not give the right results.
The accidental filling of the rinse aid compartment with detergent will damage
the appliance.
The rinse aid dispenser is located on the inside of the door.
[J Open door
C1 To fill the dispenser, turn the locking lid of the rinse aid dispenser a quarter to
a turn anti-clockwise and open.
(J Pour in rinse aid: maximum to the indicated line. Maximum amount, approx.
150 mi.

Setting the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The adjuster to alter the quantity of rinse aid being dispensed is located in the
opening of the dispenser. The quantity can be set from 1 to 6 (1-6 cm’).
The dosage is pre-set to 4. At this setting the full dispenser will hold sufficient
rinse aid for 40 wash cycles. Do not alter this setting unless an unsatisfactory
rinse result makes it necessary (see “Troubleshooting’”).
CJ To adjust the dispenser, turn the locking lid of the rinse aid dispenser a quarter
of a turn anti-clockwise and open. (Fig. 5)
C Turn the adjuster to the desired setting using a screwdriver

Refilling Dishwasher Detergent
Important!
Do not use washing up liquid in the dishwasher. This causes excessive foaming
and does not clean the dishes properly. It can even damage the dishwasher.
Only use detergents intended for domestic dishwashers.
Store the detergent in a dry and sealed container. Detergent which has become
lumpy will no longer clean the dishes.
Detergent must be added to the dispenser before each wash. Only with the
prewash programme is no detergent necessary. The detergent is automatically
dispensed during the wash. ’
Recommended dosage (basket fully loaded):
Smaller amounts of dishes require less detergent
The efficiency of detergents varies. Take care to observe the dosing recommen-
dations of the manufacturer.
The detergent dispenser is located on the inside of the door. If the lid is closed:
(1 Press the lever forward (Fig. 8/1). The lid springs open.
CIFill the dispenser with detergent. To help you use the correct amount of
detergent, use the markings. MIN = approx 30 ml, MAX = approx. 40 ml
Fig. 8 1 Fig. 9
(J Close the lid of the dispenser until it clicks shut.
In case of heavily soiled dishes, it is possible to add extra detergent to the
tray on top of the dispenser lid (Fig. 8/2). Fill until level. The extra
detergent will be added during the prewash.
