Safety instructions

The safety of AEG/ELECTROLUX 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/ELECTROLUX Service 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 temperature before starting it.

Page 7

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.

Disposal

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene >PS<=polystyrene >PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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.

Page 9

• 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).

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

Position ECONOMIA corresponds to the ENERGY SAVING programme at approx. 67°C for normally soiled laundry, extended washing time (cannot be combined with QUICK-LAVADO RAPIDO).

Position FACIL DE PLANCHAR at 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.

Position FRIO = cold wash Position SECADO = drying

START/PAUSE button (MARCHA/PAUSA)

This button has three functions:

a) Start After having selected the required programme, press this button to start

the machine. If you have selected the DELAY START option (ARRANQUE RETARDADO), the machine starts its hourly countdown.

b) Pause To interrupt a programme which is running, press the START/PAUSE

button: the information on the display starts 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-AGUA EN LA CUBA), press the START/PAUSE button to empty out the water: the machine will empty and spin.

DELAY START button (ARRANQUE RETARDADO)

The wash programme can be delayed from 1 hour up to a maximum of 19 hours.

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

The figures indicating the delay appear for about 3 seconds in the display. The duration of the selected wash programme is then displayed. 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.

Page 13

ELECTRONIC DRYING button

By means of this button you can choose the required degree of drying for cottons and synthetics:

- Store dry (Seco armario)

- Iron dry (not for synthetics) (Seco plancha)

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 electronic programme 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 130 minutes. For SYNTHETICS you can select a time from 10 minutes to 100 minutes.

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.

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 take no responsibility for any 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.

Page 19

Weight of laundry

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.

Woollens and particularly delicate items

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

If the label has the symbol (do not wash), the garments must not be machine washed! The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark products provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. M9605.

Preparing the wash cycle

Page 21

Detergents and additives

Which detergent and additive?

Use only detergents and additives for washing machines. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

How much detergent?

The quantity depends on:

• the load: if the manufacturer does not provide any indications on the amount of detergent for small loads, use about one third less than the suggested amount for half loads and half the amount for very small loads;

• the degree of soil: use a small amount of detergent for lightly soiled garments. Judge the amount according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions and size of the load;

• the water hardness: the harder the water, the more detergent required. Instructions according to water hardness are given on the detergent pack.

Liquid detergent

Liquid detergent can be poured directly into the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer immediately before starting the programme, or a special dispenser can be used that is placed directly in the drum. Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Adding a water softener (descaling product)

A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft). Information on water hardness can be obtained from your local water supply authority.

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

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.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.

Drain filter

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

Open the door of the machine.

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.

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. To do this press the small yellow but-

ton on the hose. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Cleaning and maintenance

Page 36

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 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 “DESCARGA” 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

Page 37

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 ACLARADO ADICIONAL is on)

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

- E40: door open (phase light LAVADO 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/ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.

detects this and tries to redistribute it more evenly by means of a few drum rotations. Only when the laundry is more evenly distributed will the spin cycle be performed, at a lower speed, if the laundry is not evenly distributed. If, after about 16 minutes, the laundry is still tangled, the machine will not spin. Therefore, if the laundry is still wet at the end of the cycle, it is advisable to redistribute it manually inside the drum and to select the spin programme.

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. How-

ever 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.

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.

• 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.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a separate tap with a 3/4" thread.

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 Centre to replace the hose.

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

Installation

P0352

Page 48

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case, make sure the end cannot come

unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap

with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.
