Do not in any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your retailer. · Before installing the appliance, ensure that the nominal voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. · For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dishwasher, please read the "Installation" section. Adaptors / connectors and extension cables must not be used. Child Safety · This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product. · Keep all packaging away from children. · Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children's reach. · The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns! · When disposing of an old appliance, cut off the power supply cable and remove any door catches, to prevent young children being trapped inside. General Safety · Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. 5 Operating Instructions · Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible. · If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from AEG Service Force) must be replaced by a service engineer authorised by AEG. · Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the plug. · Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for safety reasons. · Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves. · Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. · Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. · When finished loading or unloading, close the door as an open door can be a hazard. Correct Use · Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer cannot accept any liability for any damage caused. · Only use detergents specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. · Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explosion! · The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against damage due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following preconditions must be met: ­ The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is switched off. ­ The dishwasher must be correctly installed. ­ Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on holiday. · Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over. 6 Operating Instructions · In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the mains: remove the fuse. 2 Disposal Disposing of the Packaging Material Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled. · Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations: ­ >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material ­ >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free) ­ >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips · Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling. Disposal of Old Appliances When disposing of old appliances, remove the plug and ensure that any locks or catches are removed to prevent young children becoming trapped inside. Use an authorised disposal site. 2 Economical and Ecological Dishwashing · Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted. · Do not pre-rinse dishes 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 detergent manufacturer. 7 Operating Instructions Appliance Features and Control Panel Rubber Seal for Connecting the Water Feed to the Upper Spray Arm Spray Arms Water Hardness Switch Container for Salt Container for Rinse Aid Container for Detergent Rating Plate Filters 8 Operating Instructions Control Panel ON/OFF Button with Power Indicator Light Door Handle Programme Buttons SALT Indicator Programme Dial Set the point at which the wash programme is to start using the programme dial.
