However, we also consider it our obligation as a manufacturer to inform you about the following safety information. Prior to initial start-up • Observe the "Installation and Connection Instructions" in this instruction 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 machines, and follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer. • Garments which have been in contact with flammable solvents should not be washed. Also bear this in mind when washing precleaned 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“). 6 Operating Instructions Child Safety • Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. 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 internal components to be accessible. • Switch off the appliance and isolate from the mains supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work. • 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, carrying 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. 7 Operating Instructions 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: for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in >PE< the interior. >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding (always CFC-free) >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips • 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 To save water and energy, and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips. • Do not use a pre-wash for normally soiled washing. • It is more economical to wash full loads. • When washing small loads, reduce the detergent by half to two thirds. • Pre-treat stains, and then wash at a lower temperature. • Use the energy-saving programme when washing light to normally soiled garments. • In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent can reduce the amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturers recommendations. 8 Operating Instructions Description of the Appliance Front view Detergent dispenser drawer Control panel Rating plate (behind door) Main door Screw feet (height-adjustable); rear left: Automatic adjustment foot. Flap in front of drain pump Detergent dispenser drawer Stain removers Main wash detergent in powder form and water softening agent if required.

Liquid conditioners (fabric softener, starch) 9 Operating Instructions Control panel Programme progress Spin speed / RINSE HOLD display button Programme option Programme selector DOOR/LIGHT button buttons Multi-display DELAY TIMER button OVER DOSING indicator START/PAUSE button Programme selector The programme selector defines the nature of the washing cycle (e.g. water level, drum movement, number of rinses, spin speed) to suit the type of washing, as well as the wash temperature. OFF Switches the washing machine off, the machine is switched on at all other positions. COTTONS/LINEN Main washing cycle Cottons / Linen (Cottons / Linen) at 30 °C to 95 °C. 2 ENERGY SAVING position: Energy-saving programme at approximately 67 °C for lightly to normally soiled cottons, extended washing time (cannot be combined with QUICK WASH and STAIN) EASY-CARES Main washing cycle for easy-care textiles (mixed fabrics) at 40 °C to 60 °C. 10 Operating Instructions EASY IRON position: Main washing cycle at 40 °C for easy-care fabrics which, with the aid of this programme, only require a gentle iron, if any ironing at all. DELICATES Main washing cycle for delicates at 30 °C or 40 °C. WOOLLENS / P (hand wash) Washing cycle (cold up to 40 °C) for machine-washable woollens and for hand-washable woollen fabrics with the care symbol ï (hand wash). SILK / P (hand wash) Main washing cycle 30 °C for hand-washable and machine-washable silk. 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 very gentle wash is possible using the QUICK WASH button for extremely sensitive silk fabrics. STARCHING Separate starching, separate softening, separate conditioning of wet washing (one rinse cycle, liquid conditioner is washed in from the æ compartment, and a spin - max. spin 1800 rpm). If a separate rinse cycle is required, this can be carried out by omitting the conditioner from the æ compartment. PUMP OUT Pumping out the water after a rinse hold (without spinning). 3 Rinse hold means the washing remains in the last rinsing water and is not spun. SPIN Pumping out the water after a rinse hold and spinning, or separate spinning of hand-washed cottons/linen (max. spin 1200 rpm). SHORT SPIN Pumping out the water at the end of a rinse hold and short spin, or separate short spin for delicate fabrics (easy-care washing, delicates, wool). 11 Operating Instructions Programme option buttons The programme option buttons are used to adapt the washing programme to suit the degree of soiling of the washing. Programme options are not required for normally soiled washing. The different functions can be combined together depending on the programme. PRE WASH You can select the pre-wash before the main wash on the following programmes: COTTONS / LINEN, EASY CARE and DELICATES. There is a short spin between the pre-wash and the COTTONS / LINEN main wash. The EASY CARE and DELICATES main wash follow the pre-wash without a spin. SOAKING Approx. 1 hour at 30 °C or 40 °C depending upon the wash programme set. Can be extended to a maximum of 19 hours with the DELAY TIMER button. The main washing programme then follows automatically. QUICK WASH Short main washing cycle for lightly soiled washing. STAINS For treating heavily soiled washing or stained washing. (In-wash stain treatment is washed in from the æ compartment at the optimal part in the programme cycle.) 3 12 When the WOOLLENS /P (hand washing) setting is chosen, the programme options cannot be selected (any buttons pressed have no effect). Operating Instructions Consumption data and wash times The values given in the following table for selected programmes were calculated under standard conditions. They provide a useful guide for operation in the home. Programme selector/ temperature Load in kg Water in litres Energy in kWh Time in minutes COTTONS/LINEN 95 5 39 1.65 137 COTTONS-/LINEN 60 1) 5 39 0.89 125 COTTONS-/LINEN 40 5 44 0.55 122 EASY-CARES 40 2.5 45 0.42 102 DELICATES 30 2.5 49 0.40 68 2 42 0.20 37 WOOLLENS/ P (hand wash) 30 1) Note: The selected programme is tested in accordance with EN 60 456. The consumption values, however, can deviate depending on the following: water pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, washing type and washing quantity, the detergent used, and the selected programme options. Run time display 3 The multi-display indicates the estimated duration, in minutes, of the programme. These timings are estimates and vary. During the programme countdown the remaining time can be recalculated due to any of the following: incoming water temperature, type and quantity of laundry, out of balance spin detection and foam detection. 13 Operating Instructions What does UPDATE mean? The control system of your 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 advised at the time of the request. For further information regarding this please contact the AEG Customer 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. 14 Operating Instructions Before the first wash 0 Run a washing cycle without washing (COTTONS 95, with half the amount of detergent). This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left during manufacturing. Preparing a Wash Load Sorting and preparing a wash load • Sort washing according to the care symbol and type (see "Washing types and care symbols"). • Empty all pockets. • Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.). • In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing, close zippers, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, and tie up loose straps such as from aprons. • Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks etc.). • Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and fabrics with appliqués should be turned inside out. • Place small and delicate items (e.g. socks, tights and stockings, bras etc.) in a washing net, or pillow case. • Handle curtains with care. Metal rollers or burred, plastic rollers 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 discolour white washing or turn it grey. • New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these separately the first time. • Mix small and large items of washing. This improves washing efficiency and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spinning cycle. • Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine. • Do not place folded washing into the drum. • Observe tips such as "wash separately“ and "wash separately several times". 15 Operating Instructions Washing Types and Care Symbols The care symbols help you choose the correct washing programme. Washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The temperatures indicated in the care symbols are maximum values. Cottons ç Fabrics made from cotton and linen with this care symbol will withstand maximum wash actions and high temperatures. The programme COTTONS/LINEN is appropriate for this type of washing. Linens è ë Fabrics made from cottons and linens with this care symbol will withstand maximum wash actions. The programme COTTONS/LINEN is appropriate for this type of washing. Easy-care washing ê í Fabrics such as treated cotton, cotton mixed fabrics, viscose and synthetics with this care symbol require chemically more gentle treatment. The programme EASY CARES/EASY IRON is suitable for this type of washing. Delicates ì Fabrics such as those with layered fibres, micro fibres, viscose, as well as synthetics and Curtains with this care symbol require particularly careful handling. The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of washing. Wool, silk and particularly sensitive washing 9 ì ï Fabrics such as wool, wool mixtures and silk which carry this care symbol are particularly sensitive to mechanical stress. The programmes WOOLLENS /P (hand wash) and SILK/P (hand wash) are suitable for this type of fabric. Important! Fabrics with this care symbol ñ (do not wash) must not be washed in the washing machines. 16 Operating Instructions Detergents and Conditioners Which detergent and conditioner? Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in automatic washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. How much detergent and conditioner? The required quantity depends upon: • the extent of soiling of the washing • the hardness class of the mains water • the amount of washing 2 Should the detergent manufacturer not specify the dosage quantity for less than full loads, reduce the detergent accordingly: For a half load reduce the quantity by 1/3. For a small load or an EASY IRON programme reduce the quantity by 1/2. Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent and conditioner manufacturer. 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. Water hardness details Water hardness in °dH (German hardness scale) Water hardness in ppm (Parts Per Million) I - soft 0-7 to 125 II - medium hard 7 - 14 125 - 250 III - hard 14 - 21 250 - 375 greater than 21 greater than 375 Hardness class IV - very hard 17 Operating Instructions Running a washing cycle Brief instructions A washing cycle consists of the following steps: 0 1.
