General safety
• Repairs to the dishwasher may only be performed by qualified service
engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the
user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer serv-
ice or your dealer.
• Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, inlet / drain hose are
damaged or the control panel, work surface or plinth area are dam-
aged such that internal components of the appliance are openly
accessible.
• If the mains cable for the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced
with special cable (obtainable from AEG customer service) by an AEG
authorised customer service centre.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull on
the plug.
• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for
safety reasons.
• Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed, except dur-
ing loading and emptying. By this means you will avoid anyone trip-
ping over the open door and injuring themselves.
• Sharp knives and other item of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid
in the upper rack or placed in the cutlery rack with the point facing
downwards.
Intended use
• Only wash household dishes with the dishwasher. If the appliance is
used for purposes other than those intended or used incorrectly, no
liability will be accepted by the manufacturer for any damage that
may be caused.
• Prior to use ensure that the manufacturer’s of the special salt, deter-
gent and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their
products in household dishwashers.
• Do not put solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explosion!
• The leak prevention system provides reliable protection from damage
due to water leaks. For this system to function the following prereq-
uisites 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.
