The water softener must be set according to the table to the water hardness in the area where you live.

Open the door and remove the lower basket. 2. Screw open the lid on the salt dispenser by turning it anti-clockwise. 3.

If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid: – Before using the dishwasher for the first time. – When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control panel. Use only special rinse aid for dishwashers and no other liquid detergents. 1. Open the door. The rinse aid compartment is located on the inside of the dishwasher door. 2.
Setting the amount of rinse aid required 3 Only change the amount dispensed, if smears, milky spots (reduce the amount) or dried on water spots (increase the amount) can be seen on glasses and dishes. (See section “If dishwashing results are not satisfactory”.) The dosage can be set from 1-6. The dosage is pre-set to “4” in the factory. 1. Open the dishwasher door. 2. Press the release button on the rinse aid compartment. 3. Open the cover. 4. Set the dosage level. 5.
In daily use Loading cutlery and dishes 1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water must not be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes and pans tend to retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do not dry as well as those made of china and stainless steel.
Loading cutlery 1 Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid in the cutlery rack or in the upper basket to avoid the risk of injury. 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. Pots, Pans, Large Plates Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in the lower basket.
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.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket Maximum height of dishes in the 3 Upper basket Lower basket with upper basket raised 22 cm 30 cm with upper basket lowered 24 cm 29 cm The height of the baskets can also be adjusted when they are loaded. Raising/lowering the upper basket 1. Pull out the upper basket completely. 2. Raise the upper basket as far as it will go and then lower it vertically. The upper basket will latch into the lower or the upper position.
Adding detergent 1 Detergents remove the dirt from dishes and cutlery. The detergent must be added before the cycle starts. Only use detergent intended for domestic dishwashers. The detergent compartment is located on the inside of the door. 1. If the lid is closed: Press the release button. The lid will spring open. 3 18 2. Place the detergent in the detergent dispenser. The markings indicate the dosing levels for powder detergents: “20/30” corresponds to approx. 20/30 ml of detergent.
Concentrated detergents 2 Today’s detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder form. Using 50°C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dishwashing cycles are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated detergents.

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.
3. Lift the worktop at the front (3) and remove it. 1 3 If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the work surface supplied with it must be re-mounted. The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable. 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.
If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, the following VDE-approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from your local dealer. – Hose kit “WRflex 100” (Code: 911 239 034) – Hose kit “WRflex 200” (Code: 911 239 035) 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.
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.
