Quick setup

Follow these easy steps to get your AEG ÖKO_FAVORIT 50800 Dishwasher up and running in no time.

1

Adjust the Water Softener

To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, adjust the water softener. This ensures dishes are washed with soft, low-lime content water.

Open the door and remove the lower rack. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anticlockwise. For the first use, fill the salt container with water. Place the funnel supplied on the container opening and fill it with special salt. The capacity is approximately 1.0-1.5 kg depending on grain size.

Safety Instructions

The AEG ÖKO_FAVORIT 50800 dishwasher must be transported upright and installed on a firm, level floor. Ensure the water softener is correctly adjusted to avoid scale deposits. Do not sit or stand on the open door to prevent tipping over.
