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.  
4
 
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.  
5
 
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.  
The cardboard parts are produced from recycled paper, and the wood is  
untreated.  
The plastics are marked as follows:  
>PE<  
>PS<  
for polyethylene, e.g. packaging foils.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
6
 
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.

9. "Delay start" pushbutton  
Allows the start of the programme to be delayed by a minimum of 1  
hour, up to 12 hours.  
Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate which operations  
the dishwasher is performing.  
"Instruction accepted" audible signal  
When any of the pushbuttons are pressed, an audible signal informs you that  
the machine has accepted the instruction given.  
"Programme run" audible signal  
An audible signal informs you that the washing programme is starting.  
"End of programme" audible signal  
An intermittent audible signal informs you that the wash programme has  
ended.  
"Alarm" audible signal  
The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems to help you determine  
the cause of any problems (see "What to do, if...").  
An audible signal informs you that an alarm is activated.  
10  
 
To deactivate these audible signals, press the "small load" pushbutton for  
about 3 seconds, at the end of which an audible signal informs you that the  
audible signals have been deactivated.  
SO280  
To reactivate these audible signals, press the "small load" pushbutton for  
about 3 seconds, at the end of which an audible signal informs you that the  
audible signals have been reactivated.  
Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the audible signals) must be  
carried out before starting a washing programme; the setting will remain  
memorised after switching off the dishwasher.  
11  
 
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.

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.  
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.

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 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.  
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).  
SALET  
SAL  
SALZ  
SEL  
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  
SR14  
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.  
14  
 
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.  
A
Ensure that the lid is closed after every  
refill.  
BR01  
Top up with rinse aid when the rinse aid  
indicator light on the control panel  
illuminates.  
B
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling  
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess  
foaming during the next wash.  
5
4
Attention! Do not put liquid detergent in  
the rinse aid department.  
BR03  
15  
 
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).  
C
5
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.  
BR02  
Start from position 3.  
16  
 
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:  
are of limited suitability:  
Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or  
mother of pearl handles.  
Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher  
if it is specifically marked as being  
dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.  
Plastic items that are not heat resistant.  
Glazed patterns may fade if machine  
washed frequently.  
Older cutlery with cement that is not  
temperature resistant.  
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.  
Bonded cutlery items or dishes.  
Pewter or copper items.  
Lead crystal glass.  
Steel items subject to rusting.  
Wooden platters.  
Items made from synthetic fibres.  
Some types of glass can become dull  
after a large number of washes.  
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.  
Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.  
Open the door and slide out the baskets.  
17  
 
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.  
UI12  
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.  
UI51  
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.  
UI18  
Removable knife basket  
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as  
carving knives must be placed horizontally  
in the removable knife basket, which is  
positioned at the left of the upper basket.  
UI55  
18  
 
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.  
UI25  
UI20

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  
The cup-rack on the left folds upwards  
to increase your loading flexibility.  
US60  
Arrange items on and underneath the  
fold-down 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.  
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.  
20  
 
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.  
To move to the higher position  
proceed as follows:  
A
1. Move the front runner stops (A) of  
the upper basket outwards and  
slide the basket out.  
2. Refit the basket in the higher  
position and replace  
the stops (A) in their original  
position.  
RC01  
Attention!  
When the top basket is in the  
higher position it will only  
take plates up to 20 cm in  
diameter and you will not be  
able to use the raised cup  
racks.  
After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door  
can be a hazard.  
21  
 
Use of detergent  
Attention!  
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.  
If using powder detergents proceed  
as follows:  
Min = 15 g  
Max = 30 g  
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling  
D
the catch (D).  
2. Add the detergent. As all  
detergents are not the same, please  
M A X  
M I N  
pay attention to the dosage  
instructions from the manufacturer  
of your brand.  
DE17  
3. Always close the lid.  
4. If the programme has a prewash  
add the required detergent over  
the lid of the dispenser.  
If using detergent in tablets proceed  
as follows:  
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet  
DE02  
inside the detergent dispenser.  
2. Always close the lid.  
3. For all programmes with prewash;  
place a portion of a further tablet  
on the lid of the detergent  
dispenser.  
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.  
22  
 
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.  
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. In BIO washing programmes,  
the temperature range and duration of the heating phases are precisely  
matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes.  
In combination with low-alkaline compact powders, BIO washing  
programmes, at a temperature as low as 50°C, therefore achieve the same  
cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C  
programmes.  
The lack of any caustic components in low-alkaline compact powders and  
the lower cleaning temperature of BIO washing programmes not only relieve  
the environment, but also care for your crockery.

Caution!  
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine  
is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures  
that the machine stops.  
A programme underway is interrupted when you open the door.  
- Close the door again. The programme will start again at the point it  
was interrupted.  
Caution!  
Opening the door could let very hot steam escape: you risk being  
scalded! Open the door with great care.  
Do not open the door during the hot phase: this may cause hot  
water escape.

Maintenance and cleaning  
Internal and external cleaning  
Do not under any circumstances use furniture care products or  
aggressive cleaners.  
If necessary, clean the controls only with a soft cloth and pure warm water.  
The spray arms do not need cleaning.  
Occasionally check the internal containers, door seal and water inlet for  
soiling, clean if necessary.  
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without  
dishes using detergent.  
Cleaning the filters  
The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to large extent  
self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned  
from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.  
1. Open the door, remove the  
lower basket.  
2. The dishwasher filter system  
comprises a coarse/fine filter,  
microfilter and a flat filter.  
Unlock the filter system  
using a handle on the  
microfilter, and remove.

filter (1/2) by the handle with  
the hole and remove from  
the microfilter (3).  
5. Clean all filters thoroughly  
under running water.

6. Remove the flat filter (4)  
from the base of the washing  
compartment and clean both  
faces thoroughly.  
7. Put the flat filter back in the  
base of the washing  
compartment.  
8. Place the coarse/fine filter in  
the microfilter and press

9. Put the filter combination in  
place and lock by turning the  
handle clockwise to the stop.  
During this process ensure  
that the flat filter does not  
protrude above the base of  
the washing compartment.  
Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without  
filters.

Installation and connection instructions  
Adjusting the worktop  
You can move the worktop forward or  
backward by 25 mm in order to align the  
machine with other kitchen units.  
Simply unscrew the two front retaining  
screws, move the top to the required  
position and then retighten the screws.  
IN02  
Fitting under a counter  
(kitchen worktop or sink)  
By removing the machine’s worktop, you  
can install it under a close fitting sink unit  
or a pre-existing top, providing the  
dimensions of the recess correspond to  
those shown in the picture.  
Proceed as follows:  
- Remove the machine’s worktop by  
IN04  
unscrewing the two front retaining  
screws, pull from the front and slide out  
the rear slots, lifting the worktop.  
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the adjustable  
feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain  
hoses are not kinked or squashed.  
Levelling  
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.  
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the  
levelling spacers, either side of the cabinet.  
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet  
until the machine is perfectly level.  
38  
 
Connecting the water supply  
Your dishwasher can be connected to either a cold or hot water supply of  
max. 60°C.  
Never connect your dishwasher to open hot water appliances and  
continuous flow heaters!  
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply. 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.  
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used  
for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before  
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging  
the inlet hose.  
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical  
specifications.  
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.  
39  
 
Water outlet connection  
The end of the drain hose can be connected as follows:  
1. To the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip.  
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide  
provided.  
3. To a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter  
4 cm.  
2
1
3
CS09  
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.  
Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could prevent or slow down the  
discharge of water.  
40  
 
Extension hoses  
The necessary extension hoses can be obtained from specialist shops or from  
our technical assistance centres.  
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.  
Arrange the extension hose horizontally along the floor and allow it to rise  
only where it is to be connected to the drain.  
+ 2 m max

Water protection system  
To protect your dishwasher from water damage, it is equipped with a water  
protection system.  
In cases of malfunction on the control panel will appear the flashing alarm  
"AL4" (see "What do do, when...).  
In this case turn off the water tap and call the Service Centre.  
Electrical connection  
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:  
1. The mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the technical  
specifications.  
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the  
maximum load required.  
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use  
any type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket  
replaced.  
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.  
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the  
above safety precautions.
