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 AEG Service Force Centre.

•Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or the control panel is 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 temperature before starting it.

62

Safety instructions

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.

63

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 protected 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 degree I (= soft).

64

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 900, 700 or 500 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 24 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.

Description of the appliance

Position Energiesparen corresponds to the ENERGY SAVING programme at approx. 67°C for normally soiled laundry, extended washing time [cannot be combined with STAIN (FLECKEN) and QUICK (KURZ)].

Position LEICHTBÜGELN at 40°C = Easy to iron.

In this position the laundry ìs gently washed and spun to avoid any creasing. In this way ironing is easier.

Position KALT = Cold wash.

Position TROCKNEN = Drying.

ON/OFF button (EIN/AUS)

Press this button to switch the machine on. Press it again to switch the machine off.

Mains-on light

This light comes on when the ON/OFF button is pressed, and goes out when it is pressed again.

START/PAUSE button

This button has three functions: a) Start

After having selected the required programme, press this button to start the machine; the corresponding pilot light stops flashing.

b) Pause

To interrupt a programme which is running, press the START/PAUSE button: the corresponding pilot light will start to flash.

To restart the programme from the point at which it was interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.

c) Empty out water

At the end of a programme which ends with water in the drum (RINSE HOLD option), or after the “soak” programme “EINWEICHEN”, press the START/PAUSE button to empty out the water: after the soak programme, the machine will empty only; after RINSE HOLD programmes, the machine will empty and spin.

DELAY START button (ZEIT-VORWAHL)

The wash programme can be delayed from 1 hour up to a maximum of 24 hours.

The button must be pressed after selecting the programme and before pressing the START/PAUSE button.

68

Description of the appliance

The figures indicating the delay appear for about 3 seconds in the display. The duration of the selected wash programme is then displayed. One minute after depressing the START/PAUSE button, the machine starts its hourly countdown.

To alter or cancel the preset delay, press the START/PAUSE button, then press the DELAY START button until the required time is displayed or, if you wish to cancel the delay, until the symbol 0 h is displayed.

Then press the START/PAUSE button again.

When the delay is cancelled, the display shows the duration of the wash programme previously selected.

DRYING TIME button (TROCKENZEIT)

By depressing this button you can select the desired drying time according to the fabrics (cotton or synthetics) you have to dry.

To select the drying time you have to push the button until the drying time you want appears in the display.

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).

In automatic WASHING & DRYING programme the drying time is displayed for 3 seconds, then the duration of the programme will appear.

Programme Option buttons

Depending on the programme, different functions can be combined. These must be selected after choosing the desired programme and before depressing the START/PAUSE button.

When these buttons are pressed, the corresponding pilot lights come on. When they are pressed again, the pilot lights go out.

If an incorrect option is selected, the pilot lights flash for about 2 seconds and the message Err is displayed.

SPIN SPEED (SCHLEUDERN)

Press this button to reduce the maximum speed of the final speed proposed by the machine for the selected programme.

The maximum spin speed for cotton is 1200 rpm, for synthetics and wool 900 rpm and for delicates 700 rpm.

69

Description of the appliance

RINSE HOLD (SPÜLSTOPP)

When selecting this option, 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 is on to indicate that the water must be emptied out. The light of the START/ PAUSE button flashes.

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 SPIN SPEED and press START/PAUSE-button;

•select the PUMP OUT programme “PUMPEN” to empty out the water without spinning.

Warning! The programme selector dial must be turned first to RESET “KORREKTUR” and then to programme “PUMP OUT” “PUMPEN”.

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.

PREWASH (VORWÄSCHE)

The machine performs a prewash cycle at 30°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.
