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 for-

bidden 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

Safety of Children and Infirm Persons

• Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for

children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.

• The appliance is not intendet for use by young children or infirm per-

sons without supervision.

• 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 riskthat theycan lockthemselves insideit.

• 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.

• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-

ply and shut off the tap.

• 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.

7

Operating Instructions

• 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.

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 abbrevi-

ations:

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

• 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.

2 Environmental 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 wash-

ing 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 pro-

gram.

• 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).

What does "UPDATE“ mean?

Your washing machine's washing programs are controlled by software.
New types of textiles or new detergents may require new washing pro­grams in the future. In most cases, the software can be adapted to this.
For further information on the "update“, please consult the Customer
Service. You can also enquire about the costs for an "update“ with your
Customer Service.

Operating Instructions

Before the first wash

0 Perform a washing cycle without washing. Program: t (COTTONS/

LINEN) 95 with half the amount of detergent.
This removes residues left over from production on the drum and solu­tion container.

Prepare washing cycle

Sort washing and prepare

• Sort the washing according to the care symbol and type (see "Wash-

ing 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 tex-

tiles 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".

Operating Instructions

Washing Types and Care Symbols

The care symbols help you chose the correct washing program. The
washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The tem­peratures shown in the care symbols are the maximum temperatures in
each case.

Cottons

Textiles made of cotton and linen which carry this care symbol are in­sensitive to mechanical stress and high temperatures. The programm
t (COTTONS/LINEN) is suitable for this type of washing.

Linen

Textiles made of cotton and linen which carry this care symbol are in­sensitive to mechanical stress The programm t (COTTONS/LINEN) is
suitable for this type of washing.

Easy-care washing

Textiles such as treated cotton, cotton mixed fabrics, viscose and syn­thetics which carry this care symbol require chemically more gentle
treatment. The program } (EASY CARES)/< (EASY IRON) is suitable
for this type of washing.

Delicates

Textiles such as layered fabrics, micro fabrics, viscose, synthetics and cur­tains which carry this care symbol require particularly gentle treatment.
The program à (DELICATES) is suitable for this type of washing.

Wool and especially sensitive washing 9ìï

Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk which carry this care sym­bol are particularly sensitive to mechanical stress. The program
s (WOOLLENS)/P (Hand Wash) is suitable for this type of textile.

Important! Textiles with the care symbol (do not wash!) must not be
washed in washing machines.

15

Operating Instructions

Detergents and care agents

Which detergent and care agent?

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

How much detergent and care agent?

The required quantity depends upon:

• extent of soiling of the washing

• on the hardness class of the mains water

• the amount of washing

If the detergent manufacturer does not give any metering quantities

2

for small loads, add a third less for half a load or only half the amount
of detergent for small loads for < (EASY IRON) which is recommen­ded for a full load.
Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent
and conditioner manufacturer.

Water softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards), you
should use softener. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then al­ways add the appropriate amount of detergent for hardness class I
(= soft). The responisable water works will provide information on the
local water hardness.

16

Since the water softener is rinsed in before the main detergent (water

2

pre-softening), 80% of the stated quantity of softener shown on the
package is sufficient.

– } (EASY CARES)/< (EASY IRON) 900 revolutions per minute
– Ã (DELICATES) 700 revolutions per minute
– s (WOOLLENS)/P (Hand Wash) 900 revolutions per minute

The speed for the intermediate spin cycle is dependent on the wash cy­cle selected and cannot be altered.

Selecting the rinse hold function

0 Continue pressing the spin speed/o (RINSE HOLD) button until the

indicator o (RINSE HOLD) for the desired spin speed is illuminated.
If o (RINSE HOLD) is selected, the washing will remain in the final

rinse water and will not be spun.
The washing will not be spun throughout the entire wash cycle.
As a result the cycle is a very quiet one. o (RINSE HOLD) is therefore
especially suitable for washing at night.
Note: The laundry remains lying in the water until you drain or spin
(see section “Ending a wash cycle”). After 18 hours however, it is auto­matically drained and pumped.

Operating Instructions

Problem Possible Cause Remedy

The rinsing water is
murky.

The corresponding dis­play does not light up
when one of the addi­tional program but­tons is pressed.

The cause is probably a de­tergent with a high silicate
content.

The selected additional pro­gram cannot be combined
with the set program.

No negative effect on the

rinsing result, use liquid de-

tergent if necessary.

Make another selection.

If the washing results are not satisfactory

If the washing has turned grey and if limescale is deposited in the
drum, then

• Too little detergent was used.

• The wrong detergent was used.

• Special soiling was not pre-treated.

• Program or temperature not set correctly.

• If multi-component detergents are used, the individual components

were not used in the correct ratio.

If there are still grey spots on the washing,

• Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with too
little detergent.

• Too lower temperature was used for washing.

• A frequent cause is that softener - particularly that in concentrated

form - has reached the washing. Wash out such spots quickly and use
the softener concerned carefully.

If at the end of the last rinse foam is still visible

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

If there are white remnants on the washing

• These are insoluble components of modern detergents. They are not
the result of an insufficient rinsing effect.
Shake or brush out the washing. In future, perhaps you should turn
the washing inside out before washing it. Examine your choice of de­tergent and if necessary use liquid detergent.

Installation and connection instructions

Prepare the installation place

• The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor polish

residues and other greasy coatings so that the unit does not slip
away. Do not use lubricants as a sliding aid.

• Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs

is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is
then no longer ensured.

• By installation surfaces with small-format tiles, lay a conventional

rubber mat underneath.

• Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by

laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but rather should al­ways be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet.

• If, for space reasons, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit di-

rectly next to a gas or coal-fired cooker: install a thermal insulation
panel between the cooker and washing machine (85 x 57cm) which
must have an aluminium film on the side against the cooker.

• The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there is a

danger of frost. Frost hazard!

• Flexible feed and drain tubings may not be crinkled or squeezed.

Installation on a concrete base

If the unit is set up on a concrete base,
for safety reasons it is essential to fit
stand plates in which the washing ma­chine is adjusted. The stand plates are
available from Customer Service under
the spare parts number 645 425 058.

Installation on vibrating floors

Where the floor vibrates, particularly in the case of wooden beam
floors with pliable boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden
panel at least 15mm thick onto at least 2 floor planks. If possible, set up
the unit in the corner of a room, as the wooden floor is optimally re­strained there and is therefore least likely to be subject to resonance vi­brations.

43

Installation and connection instructions

Compensate for floor unevenness

Floor unevenness can be compensated for and the height can be cor­rected with the four adjustable screw feet. The height can be adjusted
in the range +10 .. -5mm.

To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied for removing the
transport braces.

0 1. Slide the special key firmly onto

the hexagon head of the threa­ded foot as far as it will go.

2. Adjust the screw feet so that the
unit is horizontal and stable. The
unit must not wobble over when
loaded.

3. If necessary, check the setting
with a spirit level.

Important! Minor unevenness of
the floor surface should never be
levelled out by laying pieces of
wood, card or similar materials,
but rather should always be com­pensated for by adjusting the adjustable feet.

44

Installation and connection instructions

Electrical connection

Details of the mains voltage, current
type and required fuses can be
found on the rating plate. The ra­ting plate is located at the top
above the filling door.

For permanent electrical connection
within the electrical circuit, provi­sions must be made which allow for electrical disconnection of the ap­pliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least 3 mm at all
poles. Suitable devices include circuit breakers, fuses (threaded fuses
must be entirely removed from the socket), ground fault circuit inter­rupters and contactors. Permanent connection may only be carried out
by an authorised electrician.

This appliance complies with the following EC directives:

;

– The "Low Voltage Directive" 72/23/EU with changes
– The "EMC Directive" 89/336/EU with changes

Water connection

The washing machine has safety features which prevent back-contami-

3

nation of the drinking water and which conform to the national regu­lations of the water authorities (e.g. for Germany: DVGW guidelines).
This means that additional protective measures in the installation are
not necessary.

Important!

– Units for connecting to cold water must not be connected to hot wa-

ter.

– Use only new hose sets for the connection.

Permissible water pressure

The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (= 10 N/cm2 = 0.1 Mpa), max­imum 10 bar = 100 N/cm

• If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure-reduction valve upstream.

• If less than 1 bar: Unscrew the inlet hose on the unit side at the sole-

noid intake valve and remove the flow regulator (to do this, remove
the filter with pointed pliers and take out the rubber washer behind).
Replace the filter.

2

= 1 Mpa).

45

Installation and connection instructions

Water inflow

A pressure hose of 1.35m in length is supplied.
If a longer inflow hose is required, only a VDE-approved, complete set
of hoses with fitted hose screw connections offered by our Customer
Service is permissible.
– Hose sets in lengths of 2.2m, 3.5m and 5m are available for washing

machines without Aqua-Control.

– Hose sets in lengths of 2.0m, 2.9m and 3.5m are available for washing

machines with Aqua-Control.

Important! Never cut into pieces in order to extend the hoses!

Sealing rings are supplied either in the plastic

3

nuts of the hose screw connection or in the enc­losed pack. Do not use other seals!

0 1. Connect the hose with the angled connection to

the machine.

Important!

– Do not lay the inlet hose verti-

cally downwards, instead run it
to the right or left as shown in
the diagram.

– Tighten the hose screw connec-

tion only by hand.

2. Connect the hose with the
straight connection to a water valve with a
screw thread R 3/4 (inches).
Important! Only tighten the screw connection
manually.

3. By slowly opening the water valve before
putting the washing machine into operation,
check that the connection is free of leaks.

46

Installation and connection instructions

Water drain

The drainage hose can either be connected to a siphon or hung in a
wash basin or discharge basin or a bath tub.

Only original hoses may be used for extensions (max. 3m laid on the
floor and then up to 80cm high). Customer Service stocks drainage
hoses in lengths of 2.7 and 4m.

Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.

Water drain-off inside a siphon

The grommet on the hose end fits all
standard siphon types.

0 Secure the connection between the

grommet and siphon with a hose clamp.

Water drain-off inside a basin
Important!

– Small basins are not suitable for

drainage. Water could overflow!

– The end of the drainage hose must not

be submerged in the pumped-out wa­ter. Otherwise, the water could be
sucked back into the unit.

– When hanging in a wash basin or a

bath tub, the drainage hose must be
secured with the supplied attachable
bend to prevent it slipping. The back­surge force of the escaping water
could otherwise force the hose out of
the basin.

0 Tie the bend to the tap or the wall using

a piece of string.

Delivery heads over 1m

To pump off the washing / rinsing solution, every washing machine has
a drain pump which carries liquids up to a height of 1m via the drain­age hose, calculated from the machine's standing surface.

Please contact Customer Service for delivery heads of over 1m.

Service

In the chapter "What to do if...“ , some faults are listed which you can
remedy yourself. Look there first if a fault occurs. If you do not find any
information there, please consult your Customer Service. (You can find
the addresses and telephone numbers in the section "Customer Service
Centres“.)

Always prepare in advance for the discussion. By doing so you will sim­plify the diagnosis and the decision on whether customer service is
necessary.

Note the PNC number and S. num­ber. You will find both on the rating
plate on the inside of the door of
your washing machine.

PNC .....................................................

S. No. .....................................................

Answer as precisely as possible:

• What form does the fault take?

• Under what circumstances does the fault occur?

• Does the multi display show an error message?

Service

When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?

– If you could have remedied the fault yourself with the aid of the fault

table (see the section "What to do if..."),

– If several journeys by the customer service technician are necessary

because for example he did not receive all the important information
before his visit and must collect spare parts. These multiple trips can
be avoided if you prepare your phone call as described above.
