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.
8
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.
10
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.
36
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).
11
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.
12
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.

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

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.

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.

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
on
— the drain hose is correctly and
securely positioned
— the door and the washing powder
dispenser drawer are closed.
Depress the required pushbutton(s).

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.

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.

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

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
