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 familiarize you with the following safety instructions. Using your dishwasher for its intended purpose ■ Only use your dishwasher for machine washing of household crockery.
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.
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.
Important hints Operating your dishwasher economically and with regard for the environment Collect your dirty dishes, stack them in the dishwasher, and only wash them when both baskets are full, making sure that the latter are never overloaded. Only then can you be sure that you are machine-washing economically and with regard for the environment. Always select the programme corresponding to the type of crockery and degree of soiling (see "Programme chart").

Before using your dishwasher for the first time When your new dishwasher is correctly set up and installed, you must first make it ready for use. Before using your dishwasher for the first time, proceed as follows: - set the water softener; - fill the special salt container with special salt; - fill the rinse-aid dispenser with rinse-aid. The following sections give you more detailed information about the individual points.
For economic operation and as a contribution to environmental protection, no more salt should be used than is necessary. For this reason, set the level of water hardness which is correct for the water in your area. To set a different level, proceed as follows: Press the On/Off button to turn the dishwasher on. Then simultaneosly press the “small load” button and “delay start” button for approximately 5 seconds: an «L» followed by number 4 (the hardness level set in the factory) will appear on the display.
Filling with special salt Only use salt designed specifically for use in dishwashers. Other types of salt i.e. table/cooking salt contain high percentages of other substances which may reduce the efficiency of the softener. 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.
Caution: Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the PREWASH 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 could cause corrosion. 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.
Setting the rinse-aid quantity to be added 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.
The amount of detergent to be used varies depending on how soiled the dishes are and the type of dishes being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in the programme chart. After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid. All the programmes with prewash require a small extra amount of detergen to be poured over the lid of the dispenser, as shown on the picture. DE11 Fig. 7 At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash.
BIO programmes and compact powders On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be classified into two groups: - conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components: low-alkaline compact powders with natural enzymes. The enzymes in low-alkaline compact powders have a dirt-dissolving effect and are also biodegradable. These enzymes deploy their full dirt-dissolving power within a temperature range of 40-50°C.
Loading your machine Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any large scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc.) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
UI12 Fig. 10 The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. To lower the prongs: slightly pull them upward and let them drop down; to bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. UI18 Fig.
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 odstruct the upper spray arm. Such cutlery can be placed in the upper basket.
The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures.Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cup-racks US06 Fig. 14 (8 IEC) IEC 436 / DIN 44990 US08 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 Fig. 15 (9 IEC) The cup-rack on the left folds upwards to increase your loading flexibility. US07 Fig.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position as follows: Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. A RC01 Fig.
Operating instructions Set and start the programme Push the plug into the socket. Open the water supply. The selection of a programme occurs with the door partially opened. Press the On/Off button; two horizontal lines appear in the display. Press the button corresponding to the selected programme; in the display appears the duration of the programme in minutes. The following lights will illuminate: selected programme, the phases under way of the programme selected, “door” control light.

The pilot light will remain on until the On/Off button is depressed. Depress the On/Off button. Turn off the water tap and switch the machine off at the plug. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and drying will be improved.
Care instructions Internal and external cleaning Clean the screen and controls of your dishwasher where necessary with a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Important note! Never use commercially available furniture cleaners or aggressive detergents. Clean regularly the bottom spray arm. Cleaning the central filter (after each wash) Scraps of food can sometimes accumulate in the centre filter (A) and should be removed after each wash by rinsing the filter under running water.

Connecting the water supply Your dishwasher has been built in accordance with the valid regulations governing water-consuming appliances and is equipped with safety devices which prevent used water from flowing back into the drinking water mains. Your dishwasher can be connected to either a cold or hot water supply of max. 60°C.
Water outlet connection The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows: to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip; to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm. The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the floor. It makes no difference which way the drain hose faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.
Water protection system To protect your dishwasher from water damage, it is equipped with a water protection systyem. Apart from an overflow protection, which prevents uncontrolled rising of water in the appliance, it also features an outlet protection (float switch in the floor tray). This responds in the event of any untightness in the machine. In all cases of malfunction, the water supply is immediately interrupted and the drain pump switched on.
