  • Page 5 If the connection lead of your dishwasher is damaged, it must be replaced by the special lead through your AEG-authorised service centre. Never place any solvents in your dishwasher, or you may cause an explosion! Do not rest or sit on the open door, or you machine could tilt.
  • Page 6: Disposal

    Disposal Disposing of the packaging Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always confine ourselves here 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.
  • Page 7: Operating Your Dishwasher Economically And With Regard For The Environment

    Important hints Operating your dishwasher economically and with regard for the environment Connect your dishwasher to the hot water supply if you have a modern hot water system. For electrically heated installations, you are recommended to connect your dishwasher to the cold water supply. Do not pre-rinse your dishes under running water.

    How to operate your machine Before using your dishwasher for the first time To ensure protection of the crockery baskets during transport, we have packed them with clamps. Please remove all clamps before operating your dishwasher. When your new dishwasher is correctly set up and installed, you must first make it ready for use.

  • Page 16: Filling With Special Dishwasher Salt

    How to operate your machine Filling with special dishwasher salt Important: If the water hardness in your locality is below 4 °d, you need not fill your dish- washer with special salt. Important note: Use only special dishwasher salt. Other types of salt (e.g. cooking salt) often con- tain water-insoluble components which choke the water softener and may render it unserviceable.
  • Page 17 Clean the container opening free so that no salt residues exist. Screw the cap back on clockwise. The cap must be tightly closed, since salt will otherwise find its way into the rinse water and may make your glasses cloudy. If you do not wash your crockery immediately after filling with salt, run the PRE-WASH programme to rinse away any salt water and salt grains that have been spilt.
  • Page 18: Filling With Rinse Aid

    How to operate your machine Filling with rinse aid The rinse aid ensures that the last rinse water flows off, leaving no drops, and gives your crockery its final sparkle. During a washing programme, rinse aid is automatically dispensed from the dispenser. Important note: Use only a branded rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.
  • Page 19: Setting The Rinse Aid Quantity To Be Dosed

    Setting the rinse aid quantity to be dosed The dispensing unit is located inside the filling opening of the rinse aid dispenser. You can use it to set the rinse aid quantity on a scale of 1–6 corresponding to a 1–6 cm rinse aid addition.
  • Page 20 How to operate your machine Recommended dose for fully loaded baskets: Normally soiled Heavily soiled, especially with starch and fat Dishwashing powder around 20 ml around 30 ml Dishwashing liquid around 30 ml around 40 ml Tablets When washing smaller crockery loads, you should dose correspondingly less detergent.
  • Page 21: Bio Dishwashing Programmes And Low-Alkaline Compact Powders

    BIO dishwashing programmes and low-alkaline compact powders On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be classified into two basic 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 more readily biodegradable.
  • Page 22: Loading Your Dishwasher Correctly

    Loading your dishwasher correctly Before loading your machine with dishes: – remove larger food residues that are not soluble in water, such as e.g. fish- bones, other bones, etc.; – pans with burnt-on food residues should be pre-soaked in water. Proper arrangement ensures perfect washing results.
