programmes with the RINSE HOLD option. Before selecting

this programme the selector dial must be turned to O.

You can choose the speed by pressing the relevant button

to adapt it to the fabrics to be spun.

DELICATE RINSES

With this programme it is possible to rinse and spin

garments which have been washed by hand. The machine

performs 3 rinses, followed by a final short spin. The spin

speed can be reduced by relevant button.

DRAIN

For emptying out the water of the last rinse in

programmes with the RINSE HOLD option. Before selecting

this programme the selector dial must be turned to O.

Washing programmes

Programme information

40 ECO

Special programme for white and coloured cotton suitable

for different washing temperatures. This programme can be

used for laundry, which should be washed at 40°C or 60°C

separately. So, you can put into the drum the maximum

load capacity in order to save energy and water. You will

obtain the same good washing result as a normal

programme at 60°C.

EASY IRON PLUS

Selecting this programme the laundry is gently washed

and spun to avoid any creasing. In this way ironing is

easier. Furthermore the machine will perform additional

rinses.

Preparing the wash cycle

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s

washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics,

delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their “whiteness” in

the wash.

New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed

separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips,

safety pins, pins).

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or

long tapes.

Remove persistent stains before washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Maximum loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the washing programme charts.

General rules:

Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;

Synthetics: drum no more than half full;

Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no more than one third full.

Preparing the wash cycle

95° or 90° for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths,

towels, tablecloths, sheets...).

60°/50°

for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night

dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and

for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

40°-30°- Cold

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry

including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label

«pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink».

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.

For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy. For

heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.

Laundry weights

The following weights are indicative:

Removing stains

Stubborn stains may not be removed by just water and detergent. It is therefore

advisable to treat them prior to washing.

Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried stains, soak overnight in

water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.

Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain remover, lay the garment on a soft

cloth and dab the stain; treat several times.

Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay the garment on a soft

surface and dab the stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.

Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust removing product used cold. Be

careful with rust stains which are not recent since the cellulose structure will

already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.

Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites and fast coloureds only).

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites and fast coloureds only).

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft

cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated

spirits. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and treat with acetic or citric acid,

then rinse. Treat any residual marks with bleach.

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric first with acetone (*), then

with acetic acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then

rinse thoroughly.

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub

with detergent paste.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the

correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large

quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens,

cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washer-dryer detergents may be used in this appliance:

• powder detergents for all types of fabric,

• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens,

• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C

max) for all types of fabric, or special for woollens only.

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate

compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without

prewash must be selected.

The washer-dryer incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal

use of the concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just

before starting the programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment

marked before starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturers’ recommendations on quantities to use and do

not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size,

Preparing the wash cycle

132962861.qxd 29/05/2008 11.34 Pagina 27

degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if:

• you are washing a small load,

• the laundry is lightly soiled,

• large amounts of foam form during washing. For the stain treatment before

the washing cycl, follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on

detergent quantities. If you use any specific product to remove the stains, you

must start the cycle of washing immediately .

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on

hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water

supply company, or from your local authority.

Note: A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree

of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (=

soft).

Preparing the drying cycle

As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle.

Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain

water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Attention!

Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of washed laundry, in

order to obtain good performances.

Laundry not suitable for drying

•Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments

with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers,

quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

•Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these

can attract the fluff.

•Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished drying.

•To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener

when you are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tum-

ble dryers.

•Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must

not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

•Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or

similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of

harmful vapours.

Gargment’s labels

For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels:

May be tumble dried

Drying at high temperature

Drying at reduced temperature

Do not tumble dry.

Drying cycle duration

The drying time may vary depending on:

• speed of the final spin

• dryness degree required (extra dry, iron dry, store dry)

• type of laundry

• wheight of the load size

The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in the «Drying program-

mes» chapter. The experience will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable

way, according to the different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time of the

already performed cycles.

Additional drying

If the laundry is till dump at the end of the drying programme, select again a short

drying.

Attention! Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of

fabrics or garment’s shrinking .

132962861.qxd 29/05/2008 11.35 Pagina 29

Care and cleaning

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can

carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a

water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry

washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions.

This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells

forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help

to preserve the door seal.

Maintenance wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of

residues inside the drum.

We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

• The drum should be empty of laundry.

• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological

properties.

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then

dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean

the cabinet.

Detergent dispenser drawer

The detergent dispenser drawer should be

cleaned regularly.

1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer

by pulling it firmly.

5. Clean all parts of the washing ma-

chine, especially the nozzles in the top

of the washing-in chamber, with a

brush.

6. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in the guide rails and push it in.

Washing drum

Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the

washing or tap water containing iron.

Important! Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents

containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.

1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless

steel.

2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent

residues. Programme: COTTONS/LINEN 90° or 95°C, press button 8, add

approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate

eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the

fold.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as

safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the appliance.

2. If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

3. Open the pump door.

132962861.qxd 29/05/2008 11.35 Pagina 31

4. Place a container close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

5. Release the emergency emptying hose,

place it in the container and remove

9. Screw the pump fully in.

10. Close the pump door.

Warning!

When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there

can be hot water in the pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash

cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When

replacing the cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and

young children being able to remove it.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to

fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is

not blocked.

1. Turn off the water tap.

2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.

3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush.

4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

132962861.qxd 29/05/2008 11.35 Pagina 33

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below

0°C, proceed as follows:

1. Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.

2. Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a

bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.

3. Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying

hose after having put the cap on again.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice

forming and consequently damage to the appliance.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is

above 0°C.

Important! Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying

hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the

detergent drawer and then run the drain programme. This will activate the ECO

VALVE device avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next

washing.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

1. pull out the plug from the power socket;

2. close the water tap;

3. if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

4. open the pump door;

5. place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose

into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the

bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl.

Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;

6. clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

7. replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;

8. screw the pump again and close the door.

42 Installation

Positioning and levelling

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.

Make sure that air circulation around the machine is

not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.

Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber

coating.

Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by

putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar

materials under the machine.

If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal-

burning stove, an insulating panel covered with aluminium foil on the side facing

the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.

The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop

below 0.

The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the

engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard,

wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness

in the floor.

Water inlet

An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.

Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the

water supply.

This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.

2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine.

Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or

right depending on the position of your water

tap.

132962861.qxd 29/05/2008 11.35 Pagina 42

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring

nut.

After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to

tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”

thread. Always use the hose supplied with

the appliance.

Installation should comply with local water

authority and building regulations requirements. A minimum water pressure of

0.05 MPa is required for safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising mains, you

may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water storage system. There

should be a minimum distance of between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of

the water storage tank.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to

move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for

this type of use.

Water drainage

This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage

system using one of the following methods.

1. Into a drainage standpipe.

Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using

the “U” piece” supplied.

Place the drain hose into your

standpipe, which should have an

internal diameter of approximately

38mm thus ensuring there is an air

break between the drain hose and

standpipe.

132962861.qxd 29/05/2008 11.35 Pagina 43

When discharging into a standpipe

ensure that the top of the standpipe is

no more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no less

than 60 cm (23.6'') above floor level.

The drain hose may be extended to a

maximum of 4 metres. An additional

drain hose and joining piece is available

from your local Service Force Centre.

The joining piece must have an internal

diameter of 18 mm.

If your drain hose looks like this (see the relevant

pcture) you do not require the “U” piece”. Just push

the hose firmly into the standpipe.

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove

any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a

clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain

hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink

entering the washing machine.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4

metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local

Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.

If you intend the drain hose from the machine to

empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and

the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic “U -Piece”

supplied.

In the interest of the environment

Washing machines and dishwashers

should be connected to the FOUL

drainage system, the water will then

be taken to a sewage works for treat-

ment before being discharged safely

into a river.

It is essential that these appliances are

not connected to the surface water

drainage system as this water is dis-

charged directly into a river or stream

and may cause pollution.

If you require any further advice please

contact your local water authority.

Electrical connection

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or

injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it

must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.

The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case

it should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.

letter «L» or coloured red.

The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13

Amp BS1363/AAfuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indi-

cated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local AEG/ELECTROLUX

Service Centre.

The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the

machine.

Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this MUST

be carried out by a Service Centre.

Permanent connection

In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole

switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum

gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required

load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
