The AEG ÖKO-System / Ecological hints

This new machine is part of AEG’s ÖKO-System range, which

meets all requirements for modern handling of laundry with

reduced consumption of water, energy and detergent.

This is a rinsing and spinning process developed by AEG which

ensures the best washing results with reduced water consump-

tion.

The automatic metering device automatically regulates the amount

of water used according to the size of load and type of fabric.

The drum is fitted with special paddles which keep the water mov-

ing upwards. In this way, the laundry is soaked more evenly and

faster.

Preliminary softening of the water, achieved by means of a two-

stage device for dispensing the softener and detergent, ensures

ecological operation even in very hard water areas.

All the materials used for packaging are non-polluting! They may

be disposed of quite safely.

Plastic materials can be recycled and are marked with the follow-

ing symbols:

>PE< polyethylene

>PS< polystyrene

>PP< polypropylene

You are advised to dispose of all cardboard packaging in special

paper collection containers so that it can be recycled.

For medium soiling, use programmes without prewash. This

will save detergent and water.

Always wash full loads for maximum savings.

Use the “ENERGY SAVING” (Economy) programme for nor-

mally or lightly soiled cottons and coloureds.

For best results, even at low temperatures, remove individual

stains from laundry before washing.

Use minimum amounts of detergent. Follow the instructions on

the pack.

Installation instructions

All transit devices must be removed before installing and

connecting the appliance.

Proceed as follows:

Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt.

Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses.

This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces

between the machine and the floor.

Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom panel by

unscrewing the central screw.

Carefully remove the right-hand bag.

Pull out the three plastic pegs from the holes into which the bolts

were fitted.

Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find at the back

of the appliance.

Hint:

Keep all transit devices for re-use in case you move house.

The machine stands on four adjustable rubber feet which can be

used to compensate any unevenness in the floor or to adjust the

machine to the correct height.

Positioning

122

Lock the feet in position by fully tightening up the locknuts.

The appliance must be level and resting on all four feet. It must not

tilt when pressure is exerted on one side only. If necessary, use a

spirit level to check that it is perfectly level.

The floor must be clean, dry and free of any wax residue or other

polish to prevent any risk of sliding. Never use viscous substances

to move the appliance by sliding it across the floor!

It is inadvisable to stand the appliance on long pile carpet or rugs

or on layers of foam rubber, as this could make it unstable. Place

a rubber mat beneath the appliance if the floor is made of very

small tiles.

If the appliance is to be placed on non-solid flooring, especially

made of wooden joists and flexible boards, a waterproof wood

panel, 15 mm thick, must be secured with screws to at least two

of the floor joists. If possible, the machine should be placed in a

corner of the room, as this is where the joists are most firmly fixed

and have less tendency to flex.

Never use wedges of wood, cardboard or other similar materials to

compensate for unevenness in the floor.

If space is tight and you cannot avoid placing the machine next to

a gas oven or coal burning stove, a sheet of insulating material

(85 x 57 cm), covered with aluminium foil on the side facing the

oven or stove, must be fitted between the two appliances.

This appliance has been designed to be built into the kitchen fur-

niture.

The recess should have the dimensions shown in picture A.

The machine is originally pre-arranged for the assembly of a door

opening from right to left.

In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and the

counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at the right level

(Fig. B).

124

a) Door

The dimensions of the door should be:

- width 595-598 mm

- thickness 16-22 mm

The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the adjacent furni-

ture's base.

b) Hinges

To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes (dia. 35 mm,

depth 14 mm) on the inner side of the door. The distance between

the holes must be 416 mm.

The distance (B) from the lower part of the worktop to the centre

of the upper hole is approx. 178 mm.

This is not a precise dimension since adjacent furniture also has

to be taken into account. The door height can be adjusted by

+/- 3.5 mm by means of the hinges.

The required dimensions are given in the picture C.

The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood

(2-Fig. B).

c) Mounting the door

Fix the hinges to the machine by means of the M5x9 screws

(3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible

uneven thickness of the door.

To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw

(3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw again.

d) Counter-magnet (6)

The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of the door.

To enable a correct operation of this device, it is necessary to

screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the

inner side of the door.

Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the appliance

(see picture D).

If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the position of

the plates (7), the magnet (4) and the rubber cap (5) (Fig. B and E).

Mount the countermagnet (6) and the hinges (1) as previously

described.

Important: the plastic screw (8) should never be loosened (Fig. B

and E).

Connection

Details of the mains voltage, type of current and protection

required are given on the appliance rating plate which can be

found on the frame, after opening the porthole door.

If the appliance is to be permanently connected to the power sup-

ply you must install a circuit breaker with a gap of at least 3 mm

between the contacts, which enables the appliance to be com-

pletely isolated from the mains supply.

The mains supply cable must not be extended. If it is not long

enough, replace it with a new, longer cable or move the appliance

closer to the power socket.

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread after hav-

ing inserted the small filter supplied with the machine.

The minimum water pressure must be 5 N/cm

and the maximum

100 N/cm

If the pressure is too high, a reduction valve should be used.

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

cannot move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose

specially designed for this type of use.

The end of the hose connected to the back of the machine can be

turned in any direction. Simply slacken the connector fitting, posi-

tion the hose as required and fully tighten the connector to avoid

leakage of water.

Water drainageEvery appliance is fitted with a pump for discharging the wash and

rinse water. This pump is controlled by the programme selector

mechanism and is capable of pumping water through the drain

hose to a height of up to 1 m above the surface on which the

machine is standing.

The curved end of the drain hose can be positioned in two ways:

Hooked over the edge of the sink. In view of the speed with

which the water comes out during the discharge phase, it is impor-

tant to ensure that the curved end of the hose cannot slip off the

edge of the sink. It should therefore be tied to the tap with a piece

of string or secured to the wall with a hook, by inserting the hook

into the hole provided in the curved part of the hose.

Joined into a branch of the sink waste pipe. The branch must

be above the sink trap and at least 60 cm above the floor.

The drain hose may be extended up to a maximum length of

400 cm. Use an extension with an internal diameter the same as

that of the original hose. Use a suitable connector.

The hose extension must rest on the floor and only the part near

the drainage point must be raised.

Preliminary operations for washing

Check that garments are machine-washable by looking at the

international wash code symbols on the label.

Whites

Coloureds

Synthetics

Delicate fabrics

Wool

Sort clothing according to type of fabric, degree of soiling and

wash temperature.

Wool garments marked with only the symbol should not

be washed in your machine, but those on which the symbol is

accompanied by the words “non felting” or “machine-wash-

able” may be machine-washed.

Never machine-wash garments labelled with the following

symbols:

Hand wash only

Do not wash in water

Dry clean only

Do not dry clean

May be bleached

Do not use bleach

Always follow the instruction “Wash separately”.

New coloured items often contain excess dye which could run

and stain other, lighter items in the wash. It is advisable to wash

these items separately the first time.

If possible, treat stains when they are still new. Use water, soap or

suitable detergents (stain remover spray, stick, paste, etc.).

Empty all pockets.

Be particularly careful to remove metal objects (paper clips,

safety pins, loose change, etc..).

Do up buttons and hooks, close zips and press studs.

Tie up loose belts or long apron strings.

Turn woollen garments, coloured embroidered garments and

those with sewn-on designs inside out.

Very small or delicate items (e.g. baby socks, tights) can be

protected by placing them inside a pillowcase with zip fasten-

er, or inside long socks.

Treat net curtains with special care.

The fabric may be damaged by opening the window or when

removing the curtains for washing (pulled threads). Remove

metal or plastic hooks or enclose in a net or cloth bag.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage.

Net curtains should be spin dried only if the manufacturer’s

label states that this may be done.

Selecting the programme

Programme selector/Switching on

The programme selector dial may be turned clockwise or anti-

clockwise.

When the ON/OFF switch is pressed the machine switches on

(power ON) or off.

You may select normal washing programmes, or the following spe-

cial programmes:

For normally or lightly soiled cotton and linen whites the ECONO-

MY ( ) programme may be used instead of the 95°C programme.

The duration of the programme will be maintained, but the wash-

ing temperature is reduced to about 67°C, to save energy.

For heavily soiled fabrics (except wool and delicates) the SOAK

programme “A” may be selected.

The cycle is performed at 40°C and ends with water in the drum.

To drain the water depress the START/PAUSE button. After 18

hours soaking the water is drained automatically.

This programme allows you to rinse and spin separately, items

which have been washed by hand.
