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 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 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.

49

132996350.qxd 19/06/01 9.44 Pagina 49 (Nero/Process Black pellicola)

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.

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

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.

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

• 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).

132996350.qxd 19/06/01 9.44 Pagina 51 (Nero/Process Black pellicola)

Main features of your washing machine

• 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 800, 600 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.

• 4-compartment drawer for detergent, fabric softener and bleaching

agent.

• Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

• Synthetics (Sintéticos)

• Delicates (Delicados)

• Woollens (Lana) (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 - LAVADO RAPIDO).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ADI-

CIONAL 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 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.

Service

In the section “Something not working?” some problems that can be
solved by yourself are listed. Read this section in the event of problems.
If you are not able to find a solution, contact the Service centre.
(Addresses and telephone numbers are given on the enclosed leaflet).

In all cases, explain your problem carefully, in order to facilitate trou­bleshooting: the engineer will be able to decide whether a service call is
necessary.

Take note of the serial number (Ser.No.) and the product number (Prod.
No.) indicated on the rating plate.

Ser. No. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Prod. No. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Furthermore, try to specify, as precisely as possible:

- The symptoms of the fault

- When the fault occurs

- The alarm code displayed

When can a service visit be charged during the guarantee period?

- when it should have been possible to solve the problem by yourself,

with the help of the troubleshooting chart (see section “Something
not working?”)

- when the engineer has to come out several times because he has not

been given all the relevant information he needs and so, for exam­ple, has to fetch spare parts. Repeated trips can be avoided if you
prepare your call to the Service centre as described above.

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 car-

pets, 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 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.

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.

132996350.qxd 19/06/01 9.44 Pagina 84 (Nero/Process Black pellicola)

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 can-

not 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.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase,
50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum
load required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in
use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or

injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

Installation

132996350.qxd 19/06/01 9.44 Pagina 85 (Nero/Process Black pellicola)

Permanent connection

In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a
double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply
(mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and
of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current
electrical regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
This operation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Important: The power supply cable must be easily accessible after

installing the machine.
