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.

48

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.

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

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 con-
sumption so saving energy.

Cl

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.

Compartment for bleaching agent.
It is emptied at the first rinse.

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

Before the first wash

Before your first wash, we recommend that you pour 2 litres of water
into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer in
order to activate the ECO valve.

Then, run a cotton cycle at E60°C, without any laundry in the
machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and
tub.

58

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 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.

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.

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 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. M9604.

61

Preparing the wash cycle

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

62

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Refit the drawer after cleaning.

71

Cleaning and maintenance

Door seal

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

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if
the machine does not empty and/or spin

the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects
such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:
Disconnect the appliance.
If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
Open the pump door.

Place a contain­er close to the
pump to collect
any spillage.

Release the
emergency
emptying hose,
place it in the
container and
remove its cap.

When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump and remove it.
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing
the pump.

72

Remove any
objects from the
pump impeller
by rotating it.

Put the cap
back on the
emergency
emptying hose
and place the
latter back in its seat.

Screw the pump fully in.
Close the pump door.

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 in the hose with a stiff brush.
Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, 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 down;
open the the pump door;
place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency empty-

ing hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by grav­ity into the bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose.
Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;

clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;
screw the pump again and close the door.

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 emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet

hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.
Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emp-

tying hose after having put the cap on again
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.

Important

Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying hose

!!

.

73

Something not working?

you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the
detergent drawer and then run the drain programme “C”. This will acti­vate the ECO valve avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused
at next washing.

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 it is possible that an acoustic warning signal
sounds, the FIN (END) light blinks and the following alarm codes may be
displayed:

- E10: problem with the water supply

- E20: problem with water draining

- E40: door open
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.

Something not working?

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.

Unpacking

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

Using a spanner,
unscrew and
remove the 2
rear bottom
screws. Slide out
the 2 plastic
pins. 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.

Carefully slide out
the left-hand bag
removing it
towards the right
and then down­wards.

Slide out the
right-hand bag
removing it
towards the left
and then
upwards.

Set the machine
upright and
remove the
remaining rear
screw. Slide out
the relevant pin.

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

82

Installation

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.

• 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.

83

Installation

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.

For a correct functioning of the machine the drain hose must
remain hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top
part of the back side of the appliance.

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.

84

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.
