Cleaning the filter

Installation instructions

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the filler. Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened. This will prevent leaks and also stop young children being able to remove the filter.

The water inlet filters

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean them from time to time.

Turn off the water taps. Unscrew the

water inlet hoses.

Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.

Slide out the 3 plastic pins and stop the holes with the plastic plugs supplied with the instruction booklet.

Your new AEG washing machine has

been designed to be permanently

plumbed in to your home’s water supply and drainage system. How ever, if this is not possible, it may be connected to suitable existing taps, with the drain hose discharging into a sink. The appliance has two inlet valves, hot and cold, with female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection size is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alterations to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber.

The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded, blue for cold, red for hot.

Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit the mesh filters supplied as per diagram.

If only a cold water supply is

available, connect the two hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a «Y» connection piece. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements. The appliance must be given a separate cold water supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water pressure of 7 psi 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.

Page 10

Installation instructions

Cleaning the filter

There should be a minimum distance of 5.02 m (16V2 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank. There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply from the hot water cylinder if the height between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the cold water storage cistern (not between the appliance and hot water cylinder) is at least 2.74 m (9 ft).

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.

if you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure the sink is empty and that the plug hole is not blocked.

If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end of the hose into a standpipe installed for the

purpose. The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least 30 mm (1 Vz in),

in order that there is an air gap

between the drain hose and standpipe. Make sure, that it is designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.

Important: Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected In the pipes.

Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe check that the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too low. The top of the curve In the hose’s end should be no more than 90 cm (35.4”) and no less than 60 cfn (23.6”) above floor level.

The water drain filter

A clean filter is important for correct functioning of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every wash.

Place a container underneath to catch any spillage. Unscrew the filter. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water from the machine at this stage.

To do this, unhook the drain hose

from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until the water stops flowing out.

Clean carefully under a fast-running tap.

Installation instructions

Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run programme 4 for a few minutes and then the drain cycle 15 to clear any residues.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certàin

precautions should be taken. Turn off the water taps and unscrew

the inlet hoses. Select a wash programme and run for

a few seconds.

Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end in a

bowl. Run the draining programme for a few seconds.

When you intend to start the machine

up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Important Before carrying out any maintenance

or cleaning you MUST disconnect the appliance from the eiectricity supply.

Décalcification

The water we normally use contains

lime. From time to time, and more often for hard water, it is a good idea to use a water softening powder in the machine. Add this powder

according to the manufacturer’s

instructions. This will prevent the formation of lime deposits.

After each wash

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

stagnant smells forming inside the

appliance.

Cleaning the drawer

From time to time the washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned.

under a tap. The upper part of the additives compartment can be removed for easier cleaning.

Externai cieaning

Use soap and water only and then dry

thoroughly.

Page 13

Washing hints and drying

Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too long before drying.

Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy, any subsequent ironing may become more difficult because the fabric couid be heavily crumpled.

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 tumble dryers.

For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturers’ labels.

Heavy soil button

By pressing the heavy soil button, the machine will take in cold water only on programmes with a water temperature of 60®C and hotter.

These would normally be hot and

cold, or hot fill only. The water is then gradually heated to the required temperature. The effect is to improve the overall wash performance, particularly on biological stains such as egg, blood and grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics, since the longer «cool-soak» phase as the water heats up provides the right conditions for the powder and the water temperature to interact, and achieve the best possible results.

Rinse hold button

Press this button to leave the water in the wash tub after the wash cycle is completed.

This works only on mixed fabrics, wool or delicate/synthetic

programmes.

The clothes are left suspended in water after the final rinse to prevent the formation of creases.

Depress the button to drain the water.

Do not overload the machine. Weigh

the laundry the first few times you

use the appliance. The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide:

1000 g = 1 kg (2 lb) sheet

pillow case tablecloth serviette tea towel linen hand towel towelling hand towel towelling bath towel bath robe man’s shirt apron

Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with small ones.

Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric, colour-fastness and how dirty it is.

Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may unravel.

Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws etc.), as these could damage the drain pump.

When washing curtains, remove the hooks.

Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.

It is essential to wash new coloured items separately when washing for the first time.

When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures together, always select the lowest temperature.

White items should not be washed with coloured items.

Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc.) should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.

Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines.

Use the correct quantities of

detergent.

For wool, use gentle detergents only in small quantities.

Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care and kept out of reach

of children. Some stains such as fruit, wine,

grass, rust etc. are difficult to remove and should be treated before washing with specific products which can be found in most household shops.

In some cases it may help to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-soak product or biological detergent.

Only wool marked «Pure New Wool washable, preshrunk» can be washed in the machine using the wool programme: other types of wool should be washed by hand or dry cleaned.

When drying always load well spun

laundry. The higher the spin speed the lower is electric energy consumption and the shorter is the drying time.

How and when to use the controls

Drying 2.25 kg (5 lb) of cotton

Start

After loading the laundry and placing

the washing powder or liquid and additives into the appropriate

compartments, before starting up the

machine check that: — the appliance is plugged in — the water supply taps are turned

— the drain hose is correctly and

securely positioned

— the door and the washing powder

dispenser drawer are closed. Depress the required pushbutton(s). Select the washing temperature via the adjustable thermostat dial. Select the required programme by turning the programme dial clockwise. Set the drying time if you are using the Wash ’n’ Dry option. At this stage, press the ON/OFF button to start the programme up. The pilot light will come on and the programme will start.

Stop

When the programme has finished,

the programme dial will be in the «•» position and the machine will automatically stop.

If you have depressed the «Rinse

Hold» button, the water remaining In

the wash tub must be drained by pressing again the same button

before opening the door.

If necessary, stop the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button again.

At the end of the programme, all the

buttons must be reset to the «rest» position {not depressed).

The washing programmes

This washing machine has a wide

range of programmes for optimum washing of all types of fabrics.

The differences between the

programmes are the rotation rhythm of the drum, the washing temperature, the water level, use or not of the spin cycle etc.

Drying

The dryer part of this machine is a Turbo Condenser Dryer.

During the drying cycle the machine uses a small amount of water.

The clothes are dried by means of a

continuous flow of hot air which as it passes through the drum, gradually

reduces the moisture in the laundry. The moisture is then condensed within the machine. The condensed

water is then drained away, together

with the cooling water, through the drain hose. There is no need to

provide special ventilation in the

room in which the machine is

installed. The duration of the preset drying time

may be shortened or extended during the drying cycle. Do not extend or

shorten the drying period within the 8-0 minute cycle. During this time

both the machine and the laundry are cooling off.

During a power failure it is advisable to remove the laundry from the

machine. After a short mains power

failure the machine will continue with

the selected programme once the

power is restored.

You have for example just machinewashed and spun at 1200 rpm 4.5 kg (10 lb) of laundry. They are cotton fabrics of medium weight which you want to iron as soon as they are dry. Switch off the machine. Then remove the laundry from the appliance and divide the items to obtain two loads of approx. 2.25 kg (5 lb) each.

Load the laundry

Load the items you have to dry one at a time, shaking them out loosely and close the door.

Select the programme

Turn the programme dial clockwise

until number 6 on the dial coincides

with the grey dot.

Washing 2 kg of synthetic fabrics at 40**С

How and when to use the controls

Start up

Check that: — the appliance is plugged in — the water taps are on — the drain hose is correctly

positioned

Then push the ON/OFF- button ® The pilot light will come on and the

machine will start.

At the end of the programme

The machine automatically stops.

The door Is controlled by a safety

device which releases 1 • 2 minutes after the end of the progr^me.

When the programme has finished you are advised to unplug the

appliance and turn off the water taps.

Important

The washer-dryer operates on the

condensation principle. For this

reason, when drying takes place, the

water tap must be open and the drain

hose must be hooked over the sink If the machine Is not permanently

plumbed In. The dispenser drawer

must be fully closed.

Only laundry washed in water should

be dried in this machine. In particular,

the following fabrics should not be

loaded into the machine:

Clothes which were dry-cleaned or cleaned with chemical solvents; Woollens or mixed woollens which will shrink with heat;

Extremely delicate fabrics such as

silk and delicate synthetics; Sponge, rubber and similar items;

Fibre glass items;

Fabrics tending to fray.

Wash ‘n’ dry

It is possible to programme the

machine to run automatically from the wash programme through to the drying programme without pausing. In this case, the wash load must be no more than 2.25kg (5 lb) for cottons

and a maximum of 1.5kg (2.2 lb) for

synthetics. The drying time should be

selected at the beginning of the wash

programme. This is possible on all

programmes except the Wool, Silk

and Délicates (10-11-12-13-14

programmes).

Drying times

The drying times of all fabrics will depend on the extent to which they

have been spun as well as the fabric characteristics. The higher the spin speed the shorter the drying time. To alleviate creasing, care should be taken not to overdry clothes. All clothes should be removed from the drum as quickly as possible after completion of a drying cycle.

Important

Polycottons of less than 70% cotton should NOT be dried using «High Temperature» drying. Only polycottons with more than 70% cotton content should be dried using programme 6.

If you are not sure of the cotton content use «Low Temperature» drying.

Pour the softener, if required, into the compartment marked® ; do not exceed the MAX levei. Close the drawer gently.

Seiect the temperature

Turn the adjustable thermostat dial to 95°C.

Select the programme

Choosing the right washing powder

Always use a low lather powder. This

is important as too much lather prevents the articles from being properly cleansed and you may

damage the machine.

Use of washing powder

The washing powder should be

placed in the appropriate compartments in the washing powder dispenser drawer before starting the programme.

How much detergent?

Your washing machine has a unique water circulation system which runs

continuously. This means that it uses

detergent sparingly.

Initially you are advised to use less than the quantity specified by the detergent manufacturer. Subsequently it is worth experimenting to see if your laundry comes out clean with smaller quantities.

Powder residue left on the clothes at the end of a wash indicates the use of too much powder. If the drum is only half-full, you can obviously use less detergent.

The compartment marked with the

symbol (jj is for the prewash

powder (if required by the

programme). The compartment marked with the symbol uu is for the main wash

powder.

Turn the programme dial clockwise

until number 2 on the dial coincides

with the grey dot.

Page 22

Use of detergent, and additives

Washing 4 kg of white cotton at 95°C

Use of liquid detergent

Suitable liquid detergent can be used

instead of washing powder. In this case a progrannme without

prewash must be selected.

Pour the liquid detergent into the compartment ULI in the dispenser drawer immediateiy before starting the programme.

If the detergent has its own dispenser ball, this should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Use of liquid additives

Any liquid additives for softening or starching the laundry must be poured into the appropriate compartment of the washing powder dispenser drawer before starting the programme. The compartment marked with the symbol ^ is for softeners or starching agents. Concentrated additives MUST be diluted before pouring in the compartment. Never exceed the MAX ievel.

Important

Before the drying cycle always remove re-usable plastic detergent dispensers designed to be placed inside the drum with the clothes as the plastic used is not designed to withstand the heat of the drying cycle.

Note

Once the dispenser is filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using fabric conditioner because if the drawer Is slammed it will cause the conditioner to enter the machine prematurely.

Suppose you have 4 kg of normally soiled laundry to wash. It is white cotton and resistant to high temperature washing.

Load the iaundry

open the door by pulling the catch outward. Load the items to be washed one at a time and close the door.

Measure out the washing

powder

Pour the washing powder into compartment Uii , the main wash compartment.
