Operating Instructions
1 Safety
The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as
manufacturers we regard it as our responsibility to inform you about
the following safety instructions.
Before Using for the First Time
• Refer to the "Installation and Connection Instructions" further on in
this user information.
• If units are delivered in the winter months at minus temperatures:
Store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours be-
fore putting it into operation.
Correct Use
• The washing machine is only intended for washing normal domestic
washing. If the appliance is used for a wrong purpose or wrongly op-
erated, the manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any dam-
ages.
• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly for-
bidden due to safety reasons.
• Use only detergent which is suitable for washing machines. Refer to
the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
• The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also bear this
in mind when washing pre-cleaned washing.
• Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.
• Dyes /dye-removing agents may only be used in the washing machine
if the manufacturer expressly permits use of these products. We can-
not accept liability for any damage.
• Use only water from the water mains. Use rain water or service water
only if it meets the requirements defined in DIN 1986 and DIN 1988.
• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine
is in a room subject to possible frost hazards, emergency emptying
must be carried out if there is a risk of frost (see the Section "Carry-
ing out emergency emptying“).
Operating Instructions
7
Safety of Children and Infirm Persons
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for
children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
• The appliance is not intendet for use by young children or infirm per-
sons without supervision.
• Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling
electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly super-
vised during operation and never allow children to play with the
washing machine -there is a risk that they can lock themselves inside it.
• Ensure that children or small animals do not climb into the washing
machine's drum.
• When disposing of washing machines pull out the mains plug, destroy
the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and dispose of the
plug and remaining cable. This means that playing children cannot
shut themselves in and cannot encounter a potentially lethal hazard.
General Safety
• Repairs to washing machines may only be carried out by skilled
persons. Improper repairs can cause significant hazards for the user.
If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer service or
your dealer.
• Never put the washing machine into operation if the mains cable is
damaged or if the control panel, work top or base area is damaged in
such a way that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.
• Before cleaning, care and maintenance work, switch off the washing
machine. Also, pull the mains plug out of the socket, or - in the case
of permanent connection - switch off the LS switch in the fuse box
or completely unscrew the screw-in fuse.
• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-
ply and shut off the tap.
• Never pull the mains plug out of the socket by the cable. Always use
the plug.
• Multiple connectors, couplings and extension cables must not be
used. Fire hazard through overheating!
• Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Danger of
electrical shock!
• The glass in the filling door become hot when high-temperature
washing programmes are used. Do not touch!
Operating Instructions
8
• Allow the washing solution to cool down before performing and
emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the solution
pump or before an emergency opening of the filling door.
• Small animals can chew on power cables and water hoses. This can
cause a danger of electric shock and water damage. Keep small
animals away from washing machines.
2 Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material!
Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakka-
ging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable.
• Plastic parts are identified with internationally standardised abbrevi-
ations:
• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and
should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.
Disposing of your old appliance!
When you put your unit out of operation one day, please bring it to
your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.
2 Environmental Tips
• You do not need to use a pre wash cycle or soak for washing with av-
erage soiling. This saves detergent, water and time (and protects the
environment).
• When loaded to the capacities indicated the washing machine is es-
pecially efficient.
• For small loads, use only one half to two thirds of the recommended
quantity of detergent.
• By pre-treating stains and marks you will be able to wash at a lower
temperature.
• It is often possible to wash without using softener. Give it a try! If
you use a drier, your washing will be soft and fluffy even without a
softener.
• For medium to high water hardness (from hardness range II, see “De-
tergents and Conditioners”) you should use water softener. The
detergent can then always be dosed as for hardness range I (= soft).
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packing films.
>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. cushion parts (always CFC-free)
>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips.

t } (COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES)
Wash programme between 20 °C and 95 °C, may be used for all cotton
and linen washing (cottons/linen), easy-cares (blended fabrics, e.g., cot-
ton/polyester) and synthetics. The wash programme adjusts to suit the
various types of fabric and quantities. If there is mostly cotton/linen a
suitable cottons/linen programme is carried out; if there is more syn-
thetic material a programme for easy-cares is selected. If the machine
is loaded exclusively with easy-cares the quantity should not exceed
2.5 kg in order to avoid creasing.
w (STARCHING)
Separate starching, separate rinsing, separate conditioning or separate
soaking of damp washing (1 rinse, liquid conditioner is added from the
compartment æ, spin).
If a separate rinse is carried out do not put any conditioner into the
compartment.
v (DRAIN)
The water is pumped away after a rinse hold (without spin).
3
Rinse hold means: the washing remains in the last rinsing water and is
not spun.
K (SPIN)
The water is pumped out at the end of a rinse hold and spin, or hand
washed cottons/linen and easy cares are spun separately.
L (SHORT SPIN)
The water is pumped out at the end of a rinse hold and short spin, or
delicate fabrics (delicates, woollens) are given a separate short spin at
low revs.
à (DELICATES)
Wash programme for delicates at 30 °C or 40 °C.
s (WOOL) / P (Hand wash)
Wash programme (cold to 40 °C) for machine-washable woollens and
for hand-washable woollen fabrics bearing the ï care symbol (hand
wash).
Ñ
(SILK) / P (Hand wash)

3
As silk is a very sensitive fabric, we recommend that you only wash one
item of clothing at a time, and that such items never be washed with
other rough fabrics. A still more gentle wash is possible for extremely
sensitive silk fabrics using the ] (TIME SAVER) button.
Operating Instructions
12
f (FASHION)
A particularly gentle special programme at 40 °C for modern fabrics
such as viscose, modal, cupro, lyocell, with a gentler wash action than
the à (DELICATES) programme, but washing more thoroughly than
the hand wash programmes.
g (REFRESH)
A special programme lasting approx. 20 minutes at 30 °C to give fabrics
a quick wash, such as, for example, very slightly soiled sports clothes
that have been worn only once.
<(EASY IRON)

be ironed lightly, if at all, at the conclusion of the programme.
2
ECO (ENERGY SAVING)
A wash programme at approx. 60 °C that is particularly economical on
electricity and water for slightly to normally soiled cotton and linen
washing (cottons/linen) with an extended washing time.
Programme Option Buttons
The programme option buttons are used to adapt
the wash programme to suit the degree of soiling of
the washing. For washing with a normal degree of
soiling such programme options as k (PRE WASH)
and ä (STAIN) are not necessary.
The different functions can be combined with one
another depending on the programme.
k (PRE WASH )
(Pre wash/Soaking)
Cold pre wash prior to the main wash cycle that fol-
lows automatically. Using the b (DELAY TIMER)
button pre wash can be changed to warm soaking.
e (SENSITIVE)
Special programme option with significantly increased rinse action (ad-
ditional rinse cycle) and at the same time increased gentleness to fab-
rics (reduced drum movement). Ideal if items have to be washed
frequently such as when the wearer has sensitive skin. +Á (RINSE+)
may be selected in addition.
Operating Instructions
13
ä (STAIN)
For treating heavily soiled or stained washing. (In-wash stain treatment
or tablets are washed in from the compartment at the optimal point in
the programme cycle.)

Wash Time Display
3
The wash times for the wash programmes
depend on the usual washing practice and
the ambient conditions at the place of in-
stallation. The washing type and quantity,
the type of washing detergent, the water temperature and the room
temperature etc. can influence the duration of the wash programme.
What does “UPDATE” mean?
The wash programmes in your washing machine are controlled by soft-
ware.
New types of fabric or new detergents may require new wash pro-
grammes in the future. In most cases, the software can be adapted to
this.
For further information on a possible “update” please contact customer
service.
Anti-flood system Aqua Control +
Aqua Alarm
In the event of damage to the supply hose, the system blocks the fur-
ther supply of water to the unit directly st the water tap.
If water escapes at another point, the drainage pump pumps the water
off automatically - even if the unit is switched on. It is merely neces-
sary for the washing machine to be connected to the mains. If the anti-
flood system responds, a warning signal sounds at the same time.
Operating Instructions
16
Before the First Wash
Run a wash cycle without washing; t } (COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-
CARES 95) programme with half the amount of washing detergent. This
removes any residues from the drum and solution container which may
have been left during manufacturing.
Preparing a Wash Load
Sorting and preparing a wash load
• Sort the washing according to care symbol (see “Washing Types and
Care Symbols”).
• Empty all pockets.
• Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
• In order to prevent the washing tangling and being damaged: close
zippers, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, and tie up loose
straps such as from aprons.
• Turn articles with double layered fabric inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
• In the case of knitted coloured fabrics and also wool and fabrics with
jewellery attached: turn inside out.
• Place small and delicate articles (baby booties, stockings, bras etc.)
into a washing net, a pillow case with zipper, or in large socks before
washing.
• Handle curtains with particular care. Metal fittings or burred, plastic
fittings must be removed or tied into a net or bag. We cannot accept
liability for damage.
• Do not wash coloured and white washing together. This could trans-
fer colour to white washing or turn it grey.
• New coloured items often have an excess of colour. It is better to
wash such items separately the first time.
• Mix small and large items of washing. This improves the wash effi-
ciency and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin cy-
cle.
• Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.
• Do not place folded washing into the drum.
• Observe such washing instructions as “wash separately” and “wash
separately several times”!

The care symbols help you choose the correct wash programme. Wash-
ing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The tempera-
tures indicated in the care symbols are all maximum temperatures.
Cottons ç
Fabrics made from cotton and linen with this care symbol will with-
stand maximum wash actions and high temperatures. The t }
(COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES) programme is suitable for this type of
washing.
Linen èë
Fabrics made from cotton and linen which carry this care symbol will
withstand maximum wash actions. The t } (COTTONS/LINEN,
EASY-CARES) programme is suitable for this type of washing.
Easy-care washing êí
Fabrics such as treated cotton, cotton mixed fabrics and synthetics
which carry this care symbol need a gentler wash action. The t }
(COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES) and
<
(EASY IRON) programmes are
available for this type of washing.
Delicates ì
Fabrics such as those with layered fibres, microfibres, synthetics and cur-
tains with this care symbol require particularly careful handling. The
à (DELICATES) programme is appropriate for these types of washing.
Viscose íì
Modern fabrics such as viscose, cupro, lyocell, modal and others require
particularly careful handling. The f (FASHION) programme is appro-
priate for these types of washing.
Woollens, silk and particularly delicate wash items 9ìï
Fabrics such as wool, wool mixtures and silk which carry these care
symbols require a very gentle wash cycle. The s (WOOL)/P (Hand
wash) and Ñ (SILK)/P (Hand wash) programmes are suitable for this
type of fabric.
Important! Fabrics which bear the care symbol
ñ
(Do not wash!)
may not be machine washed!

Detergents and care agents
Which detergent and care agent?
Use only detergents and care agents which are suitable for use in wash-
ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
How much detergent and care agent?
The required quantity depends upon:
• extent of soiling of the washing
• on the hardness class of the mains water
• the amount of washing
2
If the detergent manufacturer does not give any metering quantities
for small loads, add a third less for half a load or only half the amount
of detergent for small loads for < (EASY IRON) which is recommen-
ded for a full load.
Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent
and conditioner manufacturer.
Water softener
For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards), you
should use softener. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then al-
ways add the appropriate amount of detergent for hardness class I
(= soft). The responisable water works will provide information on the
local water hardness.
2
Since the water softener is rinsed in before the main detergent (water
pre-softening), 80% of the stated quantity of softener shown on the
package is sufficient.
