152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 4 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.
152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 5 Your dishwasher in day-to-day use ● Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, inlet hose 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.
152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 6 Disposing of packaging and old machines 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 and can cause suffocation. You should therefore keep all packaging well away from children. All packaging materials used are environmentally compatible and reusable.

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.
152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 10 When this has been done, all that is required is to periodically top up the container with salt. The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt. SR11 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.
152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 11 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). m a x 6 5 4 3 2 1 Use the tip of a screwdriver to rotate the selector.
152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 12 Loading cutlery and dishes Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water must not be washed in the dishwasher.

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards.
152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 14 The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with long stems can be placed upsidedown in the cup racks. Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
2976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 15 Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 17 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 the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution.

152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 32 Connecting the water supply ● Your dishwasher should be connected to a cold water supply. ● Never connect your dishwasher to open hot water appliances and continuous flow heaters! We advise you use a cold water supply because a hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes. Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply.

The extension hose must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the drain hose.

The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow -Earth Blue -Neutral Brown -Live If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug.
152976 17/1 15-09-2001 9:10 Pagina 35 The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI fuses should be used.
