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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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;...

The dishwasher is factory set "level 4" as this suits most users. If you use phosphate free detergents containing enzymes, add salt starting from 4°dH (7° TH). To set a different level, proceed as follows: The level setting is possible only with the dishwasher turned off. Press and keep pressed the "NORMAL BIO 50°"...
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.
Caution: 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 could cause corrosion. The rinse-aid The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry.
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).

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 detergent to be poured over the lid of the dispenser, as shown on the picture.
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.
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.
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.

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. Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and unfold both handle parts. UI20 UI25 After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.
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 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 US07...
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.
Operating instructions Set and start the programme Push the plug into the socket. Open the water supply. The selection of the programme occurs with the door partially opened. Press the on/off pushbutton, the pilot light comes on. Press the button corresponding to the selected programme. The indicator lights corresponding to the programme and the phases of the programme will illuminate.
Changing the programme If a programme that is already running has to be changed proceed as follows: Press the button of the selected programme for 5 seconds; after these 5 seconds the previous setting has been cancelled and you can select another programme.
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.
