To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the water, you should: 1.Place the grid insert on the cut- 2.Place forks and spoons in the lery basket cutlery basket's grid insert with their handles pointing downwards. For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid.
To make it easier to load larger dishes, the two plate rests on the right in the lower basket can be folded down. Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the upper basket. • Arrange items of crockery on and under the folding cup racks so that they are offset from each other and water can reach all items. • The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall crockery items. • Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in the slots in the cup racks.

Installation and connection instructions 1 Safety information for the installation • Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt water may run out. • Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage caused in transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier.
Installing the dishwasher • The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level in all directions. • To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screwdriver. • The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so that they are able to move freely within the plinth area, and so that they are not kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position.
Free-standing appliances 1 If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cooker, a heat-insulating, non-flammable panel (laminated with aluminium foil on the side next to the cooker) must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm). If the appliance is built-in under a kitchen work surface, the worktop supplied with the dishwasher can be removed in the following way: 1. Unscrew the screws from the elbows at the rear (1). 2.
Connecting the dishwasher Connecting to the water supply • The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60°C. • The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters. Permitted water pressure Lowest permitted water pressure: 1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa) Consult your plumber if the water pressure is less than 1 bar.
Water drainage 1 Drain hose The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled. Connecting the drain hose: – Maximum permitted height: 1 metre. – Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bottom edge of the appliance. Extension hoses • Extension hoses are available from your dealer or from our Customer Care Department. To ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded, the internal diameter of extension hoses must be 19 mm.
Water drainage into sink (only possible with free-standing appliances) If you wish to hang the drain hose in a wash basin, use a detachable hose elbow. You can obtain this from AEG customer service by referring to spare part number ET 646 069 190. 1. Fit the elbow to the drain hose. 2. Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slide off the edge of the wash basin. Pass a piece of cord through the hose elbow and fix it to the wall or the tap.
Connecting systems The water inlet hose, drain hose and the mains cable must all be connected to the side of the dishwasher as there is no space for them behind the appliance.
