Operating Instructions

Operating Instructions

1 Safety

The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we regard it as our responsibility to inform you about the following safety instructions.

Before Using for the First Time

Refer to the "Installation and Connection Instructions" further on in this user information.

If units are delivered in the winter months at minus temperatures: Store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.

Correct Use

The washing machine is only intended for washing normal domestic washing. If the appliance is used for a wrong purpose or wrongly operated, the manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any damages.

Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly forbidden due to safety reasons.

Use only detergent which is suitable for washing machines. Refer to the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also bear this in mind when washing pre-cleaned washing.

Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.

Dyes /dye-removing agents may only be used in the washing machine if the manufacturer expressly permits use of these products. We cannot accept liability for any damage.

Use only water from the water mains. Use rain water or service water only if it meets the requirements defined in DIN 1986 and DIN 1988.

Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine is in a room subject to possible frost hazards, emergency emptying must be carried out if there is a risk of frost (see the Section "Carrying out emergency emptying“).

6

Operating Instructions

Child Safety

Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.

Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly supervised during operation and never allow children to play with the washing machine -there is a risk that they can lock themselves inside it.

Ensure that children or small animals do not climb into the washing machine's drum.

When disposing of washing machines pull out the mains plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and dispose of the plug and remaining cable. This means that playing children cannot shut themselves in and cannot encounter a potentially lethal hazard.

General Safety

Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified specialists. Incorrect repairs may result in significant risk to the user. If repairs are necessary, consult our customer service or your specialist dealer.

Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the conrol panel, work surface or base panel area are so badly damaged that the interior of the unit is openly 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 circuit breaker at the household power distribution box or completely remove the screw-in fuse.

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 risk of fire with overheating!

Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Risk of electric shock!

The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of wash programmes with high temperatures. Do not touch!

Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning the drain pump.

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.

for polyethylene, e.g. packing films.
for polystyrene, e.g. cushion parts (always CFC-free) for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips.

Operating Instructions

2 Disposal

Disposing of the Packaging Material!

Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakkaging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable.

• Plastic parts are identified with internationally standardised abbreviations:

>PE<

>PS<

>POM<

Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.

Disposing of your old appliance!

When you put your unit out of operation one day, please bring it to your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.

2Environmental tips

A pre-wash cycle is not necessary in the case of washing which is not excessively dirt. This saves detergent, water and time (and is gentle on the environment.)

If the indicated load capacities are taken full advantage of, the washing machine is especially efficient.

For small loads, use only one half to one third of the recommended detergent quantity.

Suitable pre-treatment enables marks and limited amounts of dirt to be removed. You can then wash at a lower temperature.

Wash slightly to normally dirty cottons with the energy-saving program.

There is often no need for the softener. Try it once! If you use a drier, your washing will become soft and fluffy even without a softener.

In the case of medium to high water hardness (hardness range runs to upwards, see "Detergent and care agents“), you should use a water softener. The detergent can then always be metered for hardness range I (= soft).

The consumption values can deviate from the stated values depending on the water pressure, hardness, inlet temperature, room temperature, type and quantity of washing, the detergent powder/liquid used, fluctuations in the mains voltage and selected additional functions.

Before the First Wash

01. Pull the washing powder drawer out slightly.

2.Pour about 1 litre of water through the washing powder drawer into the washing machine. The next time a programme is started the solution container will be closed and the eco-sluice can function correctly.

3.Run one wash cycle without washing:

Operating Instructions

Prepare washing cycle

Sort washing and prepare

Sort the washing according to the care symbol and type (see "Washing types and care codes").

Empty all pockets.

Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).

To prevent damage to the washing and tangled washing: Close zip fasteners, button bed and pillow covers closed, tie up loose strings e.g. of aprons.

Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks etc.).

In the case of knitted coloured textiles and also with wool and textiles with jewelry attached: turn inside out.

Wash small and sensitive items (e.g. baby socks, tights and stockings, bras etc.) in a washing net, a cushion with a zip fastener or in larger socks.

Handle curtains with particular care. Metal rollers or burred, plastic rollers must be removed or tied into a net or bag. We cannot accept liability for damage.

Coloureds and white items must not be washed together in a washing cycle. This could discolour white washing or turn it grey.

There is often excess dye in new, coloured items. It is best to wash such items separately the first time.

Mix small and large items. This improves the washing effect and the washing is more favourably distributed during spinning.

Fluff washing before placing into the washing machine.

Do not place folded washing into the drum.

Pay attention to the care instruction "wash separately" and "wash separately several times".
