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.
Child safety 4 ● 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.
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.
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 "Washing programmes" chart).
Suitable crockery The following items have certain machine washing limitations: - Only wash earthenware crockery in your dishwasher if the manufacturer has expressly indicated it as being suitable for that purpose. - Some types of decoration which have been painted over the glaze may fade after frequent machine washing. - Silver and aluminium parts tend to discolour during machine washing. - Many food residues, such as egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouration or staining on silver.

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.
To adjust the water softener 3 4 With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine until the level required corresponds with the marker. 5 2 2 1 AA05 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.
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in dishwasher, specially table salt, will damage the water softener. Caution: Only fill 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 could cause corrosion.
x 6 5 4 3 2 1 m a B A BR03 BR01 Rinse aid replenishment indicator Top up with rinse aid when the rinse aid control light on the control panel flashes (approx. 70 - 80 ml). Tighten firmly the cover. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. 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.
Adding dishwashing detergent Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the rinse and hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser. To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will open it.
At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution.
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.
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 upwards and let them drop down (see picture). - To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again.
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. For better cleaning results, we recommend that spoons should be intermingled with other cutlery items so that they do not nestle into one another.
IEC 436 / DIN 44990 US17 US32 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. 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 move to the higher position proceed as follows: 1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out. 2.
Operating instructions Set and start the programme Push the plug into the socket. Open the water supply. Close the dishwasher door. Turn the programme selector dial clockwise, until the letter of the required programme is opposite the indicator mark on the control panel. If necessary select the temperature of the main wash according to the instructions in the "Washing programmes" chart (see "Required pushbuttons"). If no temperature button is depressed, the water will be heated up to 65°C.
Do not open the door during the hot phase: this may cause hot water escape. Care must be taken if the door is opened immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and drying will be improved. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
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. We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the large filter (every two months) If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under running water, using a brush. To take it out remove the spray arm by pulling it upward on one side, turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out the filter. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in reverse order. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the filter (A) should be pointing towards the front of the appliance.
