Safety instructions

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 E60, 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.

48

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.

49

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.

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 or soak 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).

50

Main features of your washing machine

•Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.

•Stain option 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 up to 23 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.

•Balance control device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

•The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

Description of the appliance

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.

STAIN

To treat heavily soiled or stained laundry with stain remover (extended main wash with time optimised stain action phase, not selectable for wool, handwash or programmes with temperatures lower than 40°C).

This function cannot be used with SOAK and PREWASH.

QUICK

By pressing this button the washing time is reduced. For use when washing lightly soiled laundry.

This option is not available with programme wool, handwash and economy programmes.

SOAK

This function cannot be used with WOOL programme, PREWASH or STAIN options.

The soak programme ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics, and with emptying of the water without spinning for Delicates.

PREWASH

The machine performs a prewash cycle before the main wash. The prewash cycle ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics, and with emptying of the water without spinning for Delicates.

This option is not available with the wool programme and cannot be used with SOAK and STAINS.

To be used for heavily soiled laundry.

AGUA EN LA CUBA

RINSE HOLD

By selecting this option, the last rinse water is not emptied out, to prevent the fabrics from creasing. When the programme has finished, the START/PAUSE button goes off, the END pilot light (FIN) on the programme progress display illuminates, the DOOR light (PUERTA) remains off and the display shows a static zero to indicate that the water must be emptied out.

To empty out water there are two possibilities:

•Select programme “DESCARGA” (draining): The water is emptied out without spinning.

•Select programme “CENTRIFUGADO” (SPIN) or “CENTRIFUGADO DELICADO” (DELICATE SPIN). Select the spin speed by means of the relevant button and then depress the START/PAUSE button. The water is emptied out and the laundry is spun at the selected spin speed.

Warning! The programme selector dial must be turned first to RESET O and then to the DRAIN programme “DESCARGA” or “CENTRIFUGADO” (SPIN) or “CENTRIFUGADO DELICADO” (DELICATE SPIN).

If the water is not emptied out, the machine automatically empties itself after 18 hours.

Display (TIEMPO RESTANTE)

The display shows the following information:

•Duration of the selected programme (in minutes), calculated automatically on the basis of the maximum recommended load for each type of fabric.

•When the programme has finished, a steadily lit zero is displayed.

•Delayed start, (23 hours max.) programmed using the button ARRANQUE RETARDADO. The countdown is updated every hour during the first two hours and then every thirty minutes.

•Alarm code indicating a fault in the machine operation (see page 78).
