Run time display

3 The multi-display indicates the estimated duration, in minutes, of the programme. These timings are estimates and vary.

During the programme countdown the remain-

ing time can be recalculated due to any of the following: incoming water temperature, type and quantity of laundry, out of balance spin detection and foam detection.

13

Operating Instructions

What does UPDATE mean?

The control system of your machine is fully electronic. The software which determines this control system can be reprogrammed. If a further improvement to washing technology is introduced by AEG then your machine can be updated.

The cost of the update will be advised at the time of the request. For further information regarding this please contact the AEG Customer Care Department.

Anti-flood Aqua Control + Aqua Alarm

The inlet hose has a mechanical built in safety device. In the event of the filling hose failing, the safety device will automatically shut off the water supply.

In the event of a leak within the machine the float switch, which is mounted in the base of the appliance, will operate the drain pump and an audible signal will be heard

The system will operate as long as the appliance is connected to the mains electricity supply, even if the programme selector is in the off position.

14

Operating Instructions

Before the first wash

0Run a washing cycle without washing (COTTONS 95, with half the amount of detergent).

This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left during manufacturing.

Preparing a Wash Load

Sorting and preparing a wash load

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

•Empty all pockets.

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

•In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing, close zippers, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, and tie up loose straps such as from aprons.

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

•Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and fabrics with appliqués should be turned inside out.

•Place small and delicate items (e.g. socks, tights and stockings, bras etc.) in a washing net, or pillow case.

•Handle curtains with care. Metal rollers or burred, plastic rollers 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 discolour white washing or turn it grey.

•New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these separately the first time.

•Mix small and large items of washing. This improves washing efficiency and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spinning cycle.

•Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.

•Do not place folded washing into the drum.

•Observe tips such as "wash separately“ and "wash separately several times".

16

Operating Instructions

Detergents and Conditioners

Which detergent and conditioner?

Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in automatic washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

How much detergent and conditioner?

The required quantity depends upon:

•the extent of soiling of the washing

•the hardness class of the mains water

•the amount of washing

2 Should the detergent manufacturer not specify the dosage quantity for less than full loads, reduce the detergent accordingly: For a half load reduce the quantity by 1/3. For a small load or an EASY IRON programme reduce the quantity by 1/2.

Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent and conditioner manufacturer.

Water softening

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards) a water softening agent can be used. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent (underdosing) for hardness class I (soft). Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

Water hardness details

	Hardness class	Water hardness in °dH	Water hardness in ppm
		(German hardness scale)	(Parts Per Million)
	I - soft	0 - 7	to	125
	II - medium hard	7 - 14	125	- 250
	III - hard	14 - 21	250	- 375

If the washing results are not satisfactory

If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in the drum

•Insufficient detergent has been added.

•Incorrect detergent was used.

•Stains were not pre-treated.

•Programme or temperature was not set correctly.

•If using modular detergents, the individual components were not used in the correct ratio.

If there are still grey stains on the washing

•Soiled garments with ointments, grease or oils were washed with insufficient detergent.

•The temperature selected for the wash was too low.

•A frequent cause is that fabric softener - particularly a concentrated one - has come into contact with the washing. Wash out these types of stains as soon as possible and use the fabric softener carefully.

If after the last rinse foam is still visible

•Modern detergents can still cause foam in the final rinse cycle. However, the washing is still sufficiently rinsed.

If there are white residues on the washing

•These are insoluble contents of modern detergents. They are not the result of an insufficient rinse. Shake out the washing or brush it off. Turn the washing inside out before washing it. Review your choice of detergent and if necessary use liquid detergent.
