Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances
can be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully
supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a
risk that they could become trapped inside.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dan­gerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of chil­dren’s reach.

• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply
cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door
catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside
while playing.

Proper use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is
used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufactur­er accepts no responsibility for any damage that might occur.

• For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified.

• Use only detergents suitable for washing machines and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

• Garments which have been in contact with flammable solvents
should not be machine washed.

• Do not use your machine for dry cleaning.

• Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if specifically permitted
by the manufacturer of these products. We cannot be held responsi­ble for any damage.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water tap after use.

Safety instructions

The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and
with legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as man­ufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety notes.

General safety

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified person­nel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local AEGService Force Centre.

• Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or
the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components
can be reached.

• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or mainte­nance operations.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the sock­et; always take hold of the plug itself.

• Never spray the machine with a jet of water . Danger of electric shock!

• During high temperature wash programmes and during the drying
cycle the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

• Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or
before opening the door in an emergency.

• Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water hoses causing elec­trocution hazard and damage due to water leaks.

Positioning, connection, starting up

• Follow the instructions for positioning and connection.

• Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS 60, with half the
amount of detergent) in order to remove any manufacturing residue
from the tub and the drum.

• Should the machine be purchased in winter, when temperatures can
be below 0°, leave the appliance for 24 hours at ambient temperatur e
before starting it.

Safety instructions

Main features of your washer-dryer

• Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.

• Stain programme for effectively treating stained washing.

• Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items.

• Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 1200, 900 or 700 rpm.

• RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to
prevent creasing.

• Delay timer: programme start can be delayed by 1 to 19 hours (e.g.
to times with a more economical power rate).

• Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected
and the programme phase which is running.

• Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes
your garments with extreme care.

• The drying programmes will enable you to have dry and soft laun­dry in a short time.

• 3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.

• Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

Tips for environmental protection

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order
to save detergent, water and time (the environment is pr otected too!).

• Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments.

• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both
washing and drying cycles).

• When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the rec­ommended amount of detergent.

• The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately
spun before being dried.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

• If the water has a medium or high degree of hardness (starting from
hardness degree II, see “Detergents and additives”) water softeners
must be added.
The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to hardness degr ee I (= soft).

- SECO PLANCHA (Iron dry).
The drying time is automatically adjusted by the machine: the laundry

will be dried to the selected degree of dryness.

DRYING TIME button (TIEMPO DE SECADO)

If you wish to carry out a timed programme instead of an electr onic pr o­gramme push the button until the drying time you want appears in the
display according to the fabrics (cotton or synthetics) you have to dry.

For COTTON you can select a drying time from 10 minutes to 2 hours
and 10 minutes (2.10).

For SYNTHETICS you can select a time from 10 minutes to 1 hour and
40 minutes (1.40).

Programme Option buttons

Depending on the programme, different functions can be combined.

washing lightly soiled laundry.

This option is not available with the wool programme.

PREWASH (PRELAVADO)

The machine performs a prewash cycle at 40°C max. The prewash cycle
ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics, and
with emptying of the water only for Delicates.

selected together: one automatically disables the others.

EXTRA RINSE (ACLARADO PLUS)

Can be used with all programmes except the wool programme. The
machine performs 4 rinses instead of 3.

This option is recommended for people who are allergic to detergents
and in areas where the water is very soft.

RINSE HOLD (AGUA EN LA CUBA)

When this button is pressed, the last rinse water is not emptied out, to
prevent the fabrics from creasing. When the programme has finished,
the corresponding pilot light on the programme progress display flashes
to indicate that the water must be emptied out.

To empty out water:

• press the START/PAUSE button: after emptying, the machine performs
the spin cycle required for the type of wash selected;

• select the PUMP OUT programme (DESCARGA) to empty out the
water without spinning.

Warning! The programme selector dial must be turned first to ANULA­CION (RESET) and then to the DRAIN programme “DESCARGA”.

This option can also be selected for the wool programme: the last
rinse water is emptied out but the machine does not spin.

If the water is not emptied out, the machine automatically empties
itself after 18 hours.

The RINSE HOLD option cannot be selected for the automatic WASHING

&

DRYING programme.
