10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,

synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that are

on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash together white and col-

oured items.

• Some coloured items can discolour

with the first wash. We recommend

that you wash them separately for the

first times.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,

hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets and unfold the

items.

• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,

wool and items with painted illustra-

tions.

• Remove hard stains.

• Wash with a special detergent heavy

soil stains.

• Be careful with the curtains. Remove

the hooks or put the curtains in a

washing bag or pillowcase.

• Do not wash in the appliance :

– Laundry without hems or with cuts

– Underwired bras.

– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this

occurs, adjust manually the items in

the tub and start the spin phase again.

10.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is

not sufficient.

We recommend that you remove these

stains before you put the items in the

appliance.

Special stain removers are available. Use

the special stain remover that is applica-

ble to the type of stain and fabric.

10.3 Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives

specially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of deter-

gents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of de-

tergent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on

the on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type

and colour of the fabric, the pro-

gramme temperature and the level of

soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set

the prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the deter-

gent dispenser with the flap device,

add the liquid detergents with a dos-

ing ball.

10.4 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you

use a water softener for washing ma-

chines. In areas where the water hard-

18

www.aeg.com

ness is soft it is not necessary to use a

water softener.

To know the water hardness in your area,

contact your local water authority.

Obey the instructions that you find on

the packaging of the products.

Equivalent scales measure the water

hardness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-

national unit for the hardness of wa-

ter).

• Clarke degrees.
