• Programme names and durations

The ECOMETER indicates how the programme selection impacts energy and water consumption. The more bars are on, the lower the consumption is. indicates the most environmentally friendly programme selection for a normally soiled load.

Indicator Description Rinse aid indicator. It is on when the rinse aid dispenser needs refilling. Refer to "Before first use". Salt indicator. It is on when the salt container needs refilling. Refer to "Be- fore first use". Machine Care indicator. It is on when the appliance needs internal clean- ing with the Machine Care programme. Refer to "Care and cleaning". Drying phase indicator. It is on when a programme with the drying phase is selected. It flashes when the drying phase operates. Refer to "Pro- gramme selection". Delay Start indicator. It is on when you set the delay start. Refer to "Daily use". Pause indicator. It flashes when you pause a wash cycle or the delay count- down by opening the appliance door. Refer to "Daily use". Alert indicators. They are on when a malfunction of the appliance occurs. Refer to "Troubleshooting".

Using MY TIME selection bar, you can select a suitable wash cycle based on programme duration, ranging from 30 minutes to four hours. CA B D E ENGLISH 7A. Quick is the shortest programme (30min) suitable for washing a load with fresh and light soil. B. 1h is a programme suitable for washing a load with fresh and lightly dried-on soil. C. 1h 30min is a programme suitable for washing and drying normally soiled items. D. 2h 40min is a programme suitable for washing and drying heavily soiled items. E. ECO is the longest programme (4h) offering the most efficient use of energy and water consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes.

You can adjust the programme selection to your needs by activating EXTRAS. SprayZone SprayZone improves the washing results by increasing the pressure and temperature of the water as well as wash time. The option operates within the designated area in the lower basket. SprayZone is suitable for washing items with stubborn soil, e.g. pots, pans and casserole dishes. CAUTION! Make sure that the items placed in the SprayZone area do not block the upper spray arm. ExtraPower ExtraPower improves the washing results of the selected programme. The option increases the wash temperature and duration. GlassCare GlassCare provides special care for a delicate load. The option prevents rapid changes in the wash temperature of the selected programme and reduces it to 45 °C. This protects glassware in particular from damaging.

The AUTO Sense program automatically adjusts the wash cycle to the type of load. The appliance senses the degree of soil and the amount of dishes in the baskets. It adjusts the temperature and quantity of water as well as the wash duration.

6.1 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales. The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. It is important to set the www.aeg.com10right level of the water softener to assure good washing results. Softening hard water increases the consumption of water and energy as well as the programme duration. The higher the level of water softener, the higher the consumption and the longer the duration. Water hardness German de- grees (°dH) French degrees (°fH) mmol / l Clarke de- grees Water softener lev-

Do not use salt at this level. Regardless of the type of detergent used, set the proper water hardness level to keep the salt refill indicator active. Multi-tabs containing salt are not effective enough to soften hard water.

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. It is automatically released during the hot rinse phase. It is possible to set the released quantity of rinse aid. When the rinse aid dispenser is empty, the display shows the indicator and Rinse aid low. If the drying results are satisfactory while using multi-tablets only, it is possible to deactivate the dispenser and the refill notification. However, for best drying performance, always use rinse aid and keep the notification active. To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and the notification, set the rinse aid level to

You can activate an acoustic signal that sounds when the programme is completed. Acoustic signals sound also when a malfunction of the appliance occurs. It is not possible to deactivate these signals. ENGLISH 116.4 AirDry AirDry improves the drying results. The appliance door opens automatically during the drying phase and remains ajar. AirDry is automatically activated with all programmes. CAUTION! Do not try to close the appliance door within 2 minutes after automatic opening. This can cause damage to the appliance. CAUTION! If children have access to the appliance, we advise to deactivate AirDry. The automatic opening of the door may pose a danger.

6.5 Latest programme

selection You can set the automatic selection of the most recently used programme and options. The latest programme that was completed before the appliance deactivation is saved.
