struction book.

• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures

are below freezing: Store the washing machine at room temperature

for a few hours before putting it into operation.

Intended Use

• The washing machine is only intended for washing normal domestic

washing. If the appliance is used for any other purpose or incorrectly

operated, the manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages

which may result.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this

product in any way.

• Only use detergents which are suitable for automatic washing ma-

chines, and follow the recommendations of the detergent manufac-

turer.

• Garments which have been in contact with flammable solvents

should not be washed. Also bear this in mind when washing pre-

cleaned washing.

• Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.

• Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if specifically permitted

by the manufacturer of these products. We cannot be held liable for

any damages.

• This appliance must be connected to the cold water supply only.

• Damage due to frost is not covered by the guarantee. If the washing

machine is located in a room in which below freezing temperatures

may occur, emergency emptying must be carried out (see "carrying

out an emergency emptying“).

Operating Instructions

Child Safety

• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for chil-

dren. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging well away from

children.

• This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Do not allow

children to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.

• Pets and children have been known to climb into washing machines.

Please check the drum before use.

• When disposing of the appliance, cut off the mains cable, and destroy

the plug. Disable the door lock to prevent young children being

trapped inside.

General Safety

• Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified

personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause

injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service

Force Centre.

• Never operate the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or

the control panel, work top or base area are damaged allowing inter-

nal components to be accessible.

• Switch off the appliance and isolate from the mains supply before

carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-

ply and shut off the tap.

• Do not use the mains cable to pull the plug out of the socket.

• Adapters and extension cables must not be used. There is a danger

of overheating!

• Do not clean the washing machine with a water jet. There is a danger

of electrical shock!

• During high temperature wash programmes, the glass of the door

may become hot. Do not touch!

• Allow the water to cool down before cleaning the drain pump, carry-

ing out emergency emptying or opening the door in an emergency.

• Small animals/pets can chew on power cables and water hoses. This

can cause the danger of an electrical shock to the animal and water

damage to the appliance and property. Keep small animals away from

the appliance.

2 Disposal

Packaging

Dispose of the packaging material correctly. All packaging materials

used are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any

danger to the environment.

• Plastic parts can be recycled and are identified as follows:

• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and

should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.

When disposing of the washing machine!

Cut off the mains cable and destroy the plug. Disable the door catch to

prevent young children becoming trapped inside. Use an authorised

disposal site.

2 Environmental tips

• It is not usually necessary to Pre-wash or Soak normally soiled wash-

ing. This will save you detergent, water and time (and protect the en-

vironment as well).

• It is more economical to wash full loads.

• When washing small loads, use half to two thirds the recommended

quantity of detergent.

• Pre-treat stains, if necessary, and then wash at a lower temperature.

• It can be possible to wash without fabric softeners, if clothes are

dried in a tumble dryer, as this can give soft and fluffy results.

• In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent can reduce

the amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturer’s recommen-

dations.

STARCHING

Separate starching, separate conditioning, separate treatment of damp

clothes (1 rinse, liquid conditioner is washed in from the æ compart-

ment, spin).

This can also be selected if a separate rinse is necessary. In this case,

you do not need to add anything to the compartment.

DRAIN

To drain the water after a rinse hold (without spinning).

3

The effect of Rinse Hold is that the washing is left to soak in the last

rinse water; it is not spun.

SPIN

Draining the water after a Rinse Hold and Spin, or separate spinning of

hand-washed Cottons/Coloureds and Easy-Cares.

SHORT SPIN

Draining the water after a Rinse Hold and Short Spin, or separate Short

Spin of delicate fabrics (delicates, woollens) at low spin speed.

DELICATES

Wash programme for Delicates at 30 °C or 40 °C.

WOOL / P (Handwash)

Wash programme (cold, up to 40 °C) for machine-washable wool and

hand-washable wool items carrying the ï care symbol. (Handwash).

SILK / P (Handwash)

Wash programme at 30 °C for hand and machine-washable silk.

3

Since silk is a very delicate material, we recommend washing only one

item at a time (if possible), and never washing together with other,

rougher fabrics. An even more gentle treatment can be selected for ex-

tremely delicate silk items, using the TIME SAVER button.

FASHION

A special care programme at 40 °C, for modern textiles such as Viscose,

Modal, Cupro, Lyocell, providing gentler handling than the DELICATES

programme, and a stronger cleaning action than the Handwash pro-

gramme.

REFRESH

A special programme of approx. 20 minutes at a maximum temperature

of 30 °C for quick washing of items such as sports wear, which have

been worn once and are only slightly soiled.

Operating Instructions

12

EASY IRON

gramme, are to be ironed only lightly or not at all.

2

ENERGY SAVING

Special energy and water saving programme at about 60 °C, for lightly

to normally soiled Cottons/Coloureds (cotton/linen), with extended

wash time.

Programme option buttons

The programme option buttons are used to adapt

the programme to suit the degree of soiling of the

wash. The additional PRE-WASH and STAIN options

are not needed for normally soiled washing.

The different functions can be combined together,

depending on the programme.

PRE-WASH (Pre-wash/Soaking)

Cold pre-wash before the main wash, which follows

automatically. The DELAY TIMER button is used to

switch from Pre-wash to warm Soaking.

SENSITIVE

Special extra programme function that gives an extra rinse along with

better fabric care (less drum movement). This is ideal when frequent

washes are necessary, for example in cases of sensitive skin. RINSE+ can

still be selected as well.

STAIN

For heavily soiled or stained washing. (In-wash stain treatment prod-

ucts (salts or tablets) are washed in at the optimum time as the pro-

gramme progresses.)

3

With the WOOL/P (Handwash) setting, the programme option buttons

cannot be used.

Consumption values and programme times

The following table gives the values for selected programmes under

normal conditions. The energy and water consumed depend on the se-

lected programme settings (additional functions), as well as external

conditions such as water temperature or type of detergent. The tables

do, however, give a helpful guide for normal household use.

Wash Time Display

3

The multi-display indicates the estimated du-

ration, in minutes, of the programme.

These timings are estimates and can vary.

During the programme countdown, the re-

maining time can be recalculated due to any of the following:

incoming water temperature, type and quantity of laundry, out of bal-

ance spin detection and foam detection.

What does "UPDATE" mean?

The control system of your washing machine is fully electronic. The

software which determines this control system can be reprogrammed.

If a further improvement to washing technology is introduced by AEG,

then your machine can be updated. The cost of the UPDATE will be ad-

vised at the time of the request.

For further information regarding this, please contact the AEG Cus-

tomer Care Department.

Anti-flood Aqua Control + Aqua Alarm

The inlet hose has a mechanical built in safety device. In the event of

the filling hose failing, the safety device will automatically shut off the

water supply.

In the event of a leak within the machine the float switch, which is

mounted in the base of the appliance, will operate the drain pump and

an audible signal will be heard

The system will operate as long as the appliance is connected to the

mains electricity supply, even if the programme selector is in the off

position.

Operating Instructions

16

Before the first wash

0 Run a washing programme without laundry (selecting COTTONS/LINEN,

EASY-CARES 95, with half the normal amount of detergent).

This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left

during manufacturing.

Preparing for a wash cycle

Sorting and preparing the washing

• Sort the washing according to care symbols (see Section "Types of

washing and care symbols").

• Empty out the pockets.

• Remove metal objects (such as paper clips, safety pins, etc.).

• To avoid damage and tangling: close zips, button pillow-cases and

duvet covers, tie together loose tapes and strings (for example on

aprons).

• Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (sleeping bags, ano-

raks, etc.).

• Knitted coloured fabrics such as woollens and other materials with

decorations or jewellry should also be turned inside out.

• Wash small, delicate items (such as baby's socks, tights, bras, etc.) in a

washing net, cushion cover with a zip or in large socks.

• Special care must be taken with net curtains. Remove metal or plastic

rollers liable to snag or tie the curtains up in a net or bag. We cannot

accept liability for any damage.

• Coloured and white washing should not be washed together in the

same cycle. Otherwise, whites can discolour or turn grey.

• New coloured garments often have excess dye. It is better to wash

these items separately for the first time.

• Mix large items with smaller ones. This gives more effective washing

and distributes items better during the spin cycle.

• Shake out the washing before loading it into the washing machine.

• Separate items from one another before placing in the drum.

• Pay attention to care advice such as "Wash separately" or "Wash sep-

arately several times"!

Types of washing and care symbols

Care symbols help you to choose the correct wash programme.

Washing should be sorted by type and according to care symbols.

The temperatures indicated on the care symbols are the maximum wash

temperatures.

Cottons ç

Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not sensitive to ma-

chine washing or high temperatures. The COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES

programme is suitable for this type of washing.

Coloureds èë

Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not sensitive to ma-

chine washing. The COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES programme is suita-

ble for this type of washing.

Easy-Care washing êí

Materials such as fine cotton, cotton-blend fabrics and synthetics with

these care symbols require a gentler machine wash. The COTTONS/

LINEN, EASY-CARES and EASY-IRON programmes are suitable for these

types of washing.

Delicates ì

Materials such as layered fibres, microfibres, synthetics and net curtains

with this care symbol require careful handling. The DELICATES pro-

gramme is suitable for this types of washing.

Viscose íì

Modern fabrics such as Viscose, Cupro, Lyocell, Modal, etc. need partic-

ularly careful handling. The FASHION programme is suitable for this

type of washing.

Wool, silk and especially sensitive washing 9ìï

Detergent and Conditioners

Which detergent and conditioners?

Only use detergents and conditioners that are suitable for use in wash-

ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Quantities of detergent and conditioners?

The quantity to be used will depend on:

• degree of soiling of the washing

• degree of hardness of the water supply

• load

2

If the manufacturer does not indicate the amounts to use for smaller

loads, for half-loads use a third less than the amount recommended for

a full load, and for smaller loads and EASY IRON use half the amount

recommended for a full load.

Please follow the detergent and conditioner manufacturers’ instruc-

tions for use and dosing recommendations.

Water softening

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards) a water

softening agent can be used. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent (underdosing)

for hardness class I (soft). Your local Water Authority can advise you on

the hardness of the water in your area.
