Instructions for use

1 Safety

The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to the recognised

technical regulations and the legislation covering the safety of appli-

ances. However, as manufacturers, we still regard it as our responsibility

to inform you of the following safety information.

Before Putting into Operation for the First Time

• Refer to the ”Installation and Connection Instructions” later in this

user information.

• When the unit is delivered in winter months with minus tempera-

tures: Store the washing machine for 24 hours at room temperature

before putting it into operation.

Correct Use

• The washing machine is only designed for normal domestic washing.

If the unit is used for purposes other than that for which it is de-

signed, the manufacturer can accept no liability for any resulting

damages.

• For safety reasons, conversions or modifications to the washing ma-

chine are not permissible.

• Use only detergents which are suitable for washing machines. Follow

the washing detergent manufacturer's instructions.

• The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also remem-

ber this when washing pre-cleaned washing.

• Do not use the washing machine for chemical cleaning.

• Dyes/dye removers may only be used in washing machines if the

manufacturer expressly allows these products. We cannot be held lia-

ble for any resulting damage.

• Use only water from the water mains. Use rainwater or service water

only if it meets the requirements outlined in DIN1986 and DIN1988.

• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine

is in a room which is at risk from frost, an emergency emptying oper-

ation must be carried out when there is a frost risk (see the section

”Carry Out Emergency Emptying”).

Instructions for use

7

Child Safety

• Packaging components (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be hazardous to

children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.

• Children often cannot recognise the hazards associated with handling

electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure the necessary supervision dur-

ing operation and do not allow children to play with the washing ma-

chine – there is a risk that children can get trapped inside.

• Ensure that children or small animals cannot climb into the washing

machine's drum.

• When disposing of the washing machine: Pull out the mains plug, de-

stroy the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and throw away

the plug and the left-over cable. This means that children at play

cannot shut themselves inside and in so doing be in danger.

General Safety

• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by skilled

persons. Incorrect repairs can cause significant hazards. If repairs are

necessary, consult our Customer Service or your specialist dealer.

• Never put the washing machine into operation if the mains cable is

damaged or if the control panel, work top or base area are damaged

in such a way that the inside of the unit is open and accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine before carrying out cleaning, care

and maintenance work. Also pull the mains plug out of the socket or,

– if it is permanently connected, – switch off the LS switch in the

fuse box or completely unscrew the screw-in fuse.

• If the appliance will be out of operation for an extended period of

time, unplug it from the mains.

• Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the socket. Always pull

the plug itself.

• Multiple connectors, couplings and extension cables must not be

used. There is a fire risk with overheating!

• Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Electric

shock risk!

• The glass in the filling door becomes hot in the case of washing pro-

grams with high temperatures. Do not touch!

• Allow the washing solution to cool down before emergency emptying

of the unit, before cleaning or before emergency opening of the fill-

ing door.

Instructions for use

8

• Small animals can chew the power cables and water hoses. Risk of

electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away

from the washing machine.

2 Disposal

Dispose the packing material!

Dispose of your washing machine's packaging correctly. All the packag-

ing materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recy-

cled.

• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:

• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and

should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.

Dispose the old appliance!

When you finally put your appliance out of operation,

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).

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.

Water Protection 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 elsewhere, the drainage pump automatically pumps

off – even if the unit is switched off. The washing machine merely has

to be connected to the electricity mains. When the water protection

system responds, a warning signal sounds at the same time.

Before the first wash

0 Carry out a wash cycle without washing;

• 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”!

Washing Detergents and Care Agents

Which washing detergent and care agent?

Use only washing detergents and care agents which are suitable for use

in washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

How much washing detergent and care agent?

The amount to be used depends on:

• the dirtiness of the washing

• the hardness category of the mains water supply

• the filling quantity

2

If the detergent manufacturer gives no details of the dosing quantities

for minimum loads, add one third less for half loads and, in the case of

very small loads and for EASY IRON (LEICHTBÜGELN, FACILE A

REPASSER), only half the amount of detergent recommended for a full

load.

Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's instructions on use

and dosage.

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you

should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instruc-

tions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The

responsible water works can provide information on the local water

hardness.

2

Since the water softener is added before the main washing detergent,

(water pre-softening), eighty percent of the softener quantity stated on

the package is sufficient.
