purposes.

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working".

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.

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, 700 or 400 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.

Description of the appliance

Programme selector dial

The programme selector determines the type of washing cycle (e.g. water level, drum movement, number of rinses), the washing temperature and enables the required drying programme to be selected according to the type of laundry.

The selector dial is divided into 6 sections:

• Cottons-Linens

• Synthetics

• Delicates

• Wool (hand washing)

• Special programmes

• Reset programme O

The selector dial can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise. Position E corresponds to the ENERGY SAVING programme at approx.

67°C for normally soiled laundry, extended washing time (cannot be combined with QUICK WASH).

Description of the appliance

Position 40°C Easy to iron. In this position the laundry is gently washed and spun to avoid any creasing. In this way ironing is easier.

Description of the appliance

Detergent dispenser drawer

Compartment for prewash or soak detergent and stain remover. The prewash or soak detergent is added at the beginning of the wash programme. The stain remover is added during the STAIN-Action phase in the main wash.

Compartment for powder or liquid detergent used for main wash. It is emptied at the beginning of the wash cycle.

Compartment for liquid additives (fabric softener, starch). It is emptied at the last rinse.

The quantity of additives must not exceed the “MAX” mark in the drawer.

Before the first wash

Before your first wash, we recommend that you run a cotton cycle at 60°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufac- turing residue from the drum and tub.

Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the machine.

Preparing the wash cycle

Sorting out and preparing the laundry

• Sort out the laundry according to type of fabrics and care labels (see “Types of fabric and care labels”).

• Empty pockets.

• Remove any metal parts (safety pins, clips, etc.).

• To prevent the laundry from getting damaged and forming bundles, it is advisable to close zips, button up pillowcases and quilt covers and tie up loose straps such as those of aprons.

• Turn double faced items inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.)

• Turn coloured knitted fabrics, woollens and fabrics with trim inside out.

• Wash small and delicate items (baby socks, tights) inside a laundry net or in a pillow case closed with a zip, or in larger socks.

• Treat curtains with special care. Remove all metal or plastic hooks or put them in a net or a bag. We decline any responsibility in case of damage.

• Whites and coloureds must be washed separately: white items can loose their whiteness.

• New coloured fabrics often have excess dyes; it is advisable to wash them separately for the first time.

• Wash small and large items together; this improves the washing result and the laundry is better distributed during spinning.

• Shake out garments before putting them into the machine.

• Insert each garment separately.

Types of fabric and care labels

The labels on garments help you to select the most suitable wash programme. The laundry should be sorted out according to the type of fabric and the instructions indicated on care labels.

Temperatures indicated on labels are always maximum temperatures.

Cotton

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol can be washed at high temperatures.

Cotton

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be washed at 60°C.

Cotton

Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore the washing temperature must not exceed these values.

Synthetics

Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a gentle wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the specific programme.

Approximate

dry weights

Preparing the wash cycle

Delicates

Microfibres, synthetics or curtains marked with these symbols require a very gentle treatment. The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric.

Woollens and particularly delicate items

Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOLLENS programme is suitable for this type of fabric.

If the label has the symbol (do not wash), the garments must not be machine washed!

Detergents and additives

Which detergent?....

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICAL

If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal.

COLOUREDS

For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preserve colours.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as woollens, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may wish to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach which is used in addition to your chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable fabrics including silks, woollens and coloureds.

STAIN REMOVER

For heavily soiled garments to be washed with STAINAction, you should use stain removers such as VANISH In-Wash, Ecover Stain Salt and GloWhite Booster.

Preparing the wash cycle

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is your own personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.

COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.

* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing

device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving “softness”, and also reduce static cling on easy-cares and make ironing easier. They are available in two types:

• For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol . Follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions and never exceed the MAX level.

• Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a tumble dry- er. We recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned (using a safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed in the tumble dryer.

Preparing the drying cycle

As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle. Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must

drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.

Load

Sort of laundry

Warning:

Loads of washed laundry exceeding these values must be divided before being dried, otherwise poor results will be obtained.

Garments not suitable for drying

• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.

• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foamrubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.

• Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.

Drying symbols on garment labels

Always look at the garment label to check whether garments can be machine dried.

The following symbols refer to drying: Machine drying is usually possible

Normal drying (normal temperature)

Gentle drying (reduced temperature)

Do not machine dry

Duration of the drying cycle

The drying time can vary according to

• the final spin speed;

• the required degree of drying (store dry or iron dry);

• the type of laundry;

• the size of load. The usual drying times for the timed programmes are indicated in the

programme chart. As you become more familiar with the appliance, you will discover the drying times that best suit your needs according to the various type of fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of these times.

Modification of the drying time or degree of drying

If you wish to modify the drying time or the degree of drying when a drying programme is running, first depress START/PAUSE button to set the machine to PAUSE. After modifying the time or degree, depress START/PAUSE again to continue the programme.

Fibre residue

After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is advisable to perform the RINSE programme to be sure that any residue that may remain in the tub is completely removed and does not stick to garments dried afterwards.

After each drying cycle the filter should be checked and cleaned.

Additional drying

Should the laundry still be too wet at the end of the programme, set another short drying time.

Warning! To prevent the formation of creases or shrinking of fabrics, avoid excessive drying.

Cleaning and maintenance

After each wash

At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a little to let it dry.

Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.

If the machine is not used for a prolonged period:

Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

The drum should be empty of laundry. Select the hottest cotton wash programme. Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder (such as Ariel

Futur).

Periodical cleaning

Exterior

Clean the outside of the cabinet with soap and water only. Rinse with clean water and dry.

Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.

Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer.

Clean the drawer, from time to time, by rinsing it under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner.

Cleaning and maintenance

P0859

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush.

Refit the drawer after cleaning.

Door seal

Regularly check to see, if there are deposits or foreign objects in the rubber seal behind the door and remove them.

Drain filter

The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean.

Open the filter door.

Place a container under the filter and unscrew it; some water will come out of the filter.

Pull out the filter. Clean the filter

under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.

Cleaning and maintenance

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap. Clean the filter with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain pipe are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled;

• place a bowl on the floor;

• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out.

Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly.

At the end screw the filter in again.

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows:

• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.

• Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed

on the floor.

• Select the “DRAIN” programme and run it until the machine stops.

• Turn the programme selector dial to O (RESET).

• Remove the plug from the power socket.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its

place.

By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice forming and consequently damage to the appliance.

When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

Something not working?

If during the spin cycle the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor.

If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the instructions below.

If you call out an engineer when one of the following problems arises, or to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the call-out will be charged even if requested within the guarantee period.

During machine operation the following alarm codes may be displayed:

- E10: problem with the water supply (phase light EXTRA RINSE is on)

- E20: problem with water draining (phase light RINSES is on)

- E40: door open (phase light WASH is on) Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button

to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

If the alarm code EFO (water leakage) appears on the display, contact the Service Force Centre.

Unsatisfactory washing results

If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum

• Too little detergent has been used.

• An unsuitable detergent has been used.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

• The programme/temperature has not been correctly selected.

If grey stains remain on the laundry

• Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with an insufficient amount of detergent.

• The temperature selected for the wash programme was too low.

• Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type - has come into direct contact with the laundry. Wash these stains immediately and pour fabric softener carefully.

Foam is still visible even after the last rinse

• Modern detergents often produce foam, even in the last rinse. However the laundry has been completely rinsed.

White residue is left on the laundry

• This is due to insoluble components in modern detergents and is therefore not the result of insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the laundry. In future, it may be better to turn garments inside out before washing them. Check the choice of detergent; try using liquid detergents.

Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.

Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor.

Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the machine and release the two plastic bags which are fixed under the filter door.

Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards the centre of the machine.

Set the machine upright and remove the two remaining bolts from the back.

Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into which the bolts were fitted.

Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find in the plastic bag containing the instruction booklet.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by

carpets, rugs etc.

• Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.

• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.

• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances;

• The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop below 0°C.

• The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.

• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Levelling

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Installation on a suspended floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Water inlet (cold water connection only)

Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations’ requirements.

nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

Do not connect to a hot water supply.

Model 16800

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Force Centre to replace the hose.

Water drainage

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece” supplied. The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90 cm (35.4”) and no less than 60 cm (23.6”) above floor level.

Installation

The upright standpipe should have a minimum length of 30 cm (12”) from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.

If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic “U -Piece” supplied.

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.

In the interest of the environment

Washing machines and dishwashers should be connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river.

It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution.

If you require any further advice please contact your local water authority.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure

not be observed.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of

to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of

your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «E» or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured red.

The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13 Amp BS1362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local AEG Service Centre.

The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the machine.

Installation

Permanent connection
