Follow these easy steps to get your AEG FAVORIT 80860 Dishwasher up and running in no time.
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.
Press the ON/OFF button. Initially, 'HELLO' appears in the display. As soon as the dishwasher is ready for use, it will display 'LANGUAGE ENGLISH', with 'ENGLISH' flashing. Use the direction buttons to select the desired language and press the OK/START button.
If you do not use 3 in 1 detergent, you must set the water softener. Open the dishwasher door and remove the lower basket. Turn the water hardness dial on the left wall of the dishwasher interior to O or 1, depending on your water hardness level.
Open the door and remove the lower basket. Unscrew the lid on the salt dispenser by turning it anti-clockwise. Only when using the dishwasher for the first time: Fill the salt dispenser with water. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dispenser opening. Fill the dispenser with dishwasher salt; the capacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg.
Fill up the rinse aid dispenser if you are not using 3 in 1 detergent. This assists with the drying process.
The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to a maximum of 60°C. Connect the threaded hose fitting on the water inlet hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). Only tighten the nut hand tight.
Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Ensure that the electricity supply voltage matches that indicated on the appliance rating plate.
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.
Ensure that the drain hose, inlet hose, and mains cable are laid so that they are able to move freely within the plinth area, and are not kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position. The dishwasher must also be screwed tightly to the work surface or to the adjoining units.
