13. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

13.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white,
coloured, synthetics, delicates and
wool.

• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.

• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.

• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first couple of times.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.

• Pre-treat stubborn stains.

• Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent.

• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:

a. interrupt the programme and

open the door (refer to "Daily
Use" chapter);

b. manually redistribute the load so

that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;

c. press the Départ/Pause button.

The spin phase continues.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,
cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or
with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash
small and/or delicate items (e.g.
underwired bras, belts, tights,
shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

ENGLISH 27

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

13.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.

We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.

Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

13.3 Detergent type and quantity

The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the environment:

• Use only detergents and other
treatments specially made for
washing machines. First, follow these
generic rules:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer

www.aeg.com28

powder detergents containing
bleach for whites and laundry
sanitization,

– liquid detergents, preferably for

low temperature wash
programmes (60 °C max) for all
types of fabric, or special ones for
woollens only.

• The choice and quantity of detergent
will depend on: type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the
colour of clothes, size of the load,
degree of soiling, wash temperature
and hardness of the water used.

• Follow the instructions that you find
on packaging of the detergents or
other treatments without exceeding

the indicated maximum level (

• Do not mix different types of
detergents.

• Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam

during washing.

• When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not
in the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,

• the wash load to turn grey,

• greasy clothes,

• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,

• reduced washing effect,

• inadequate rinsing,

• a greater impact for the environment.

13.4 Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help
protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:

• Loading the appliance to the

maximum capacity indicated for
each programmes helps to reduce
energy and water consumption.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of
detergent, refer to the quantity
suggested by the detergent producer
and check the water hardness of you

).

domestic system. Refer to 'Water
hardness'.

• Set the maximum possible spin
speed for the selected washing
programme before drying your
laundry in a tumble dryer. This will
save energy during drying!

13.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
additive for water softening. In areas
where the water hardness is soft it is not
necessary to use him.

To find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of additive for
water softening. Follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging of the
product.

14. CARE AND CLEANING

available programme Machine Clean.
Add a small quantity of powder
detergent into empty drum, in order to
rinse out any left residues.

14.6 Door seal

This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light

fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be
drained out with the water. Regularly
examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other
small items can be recovered at the end
of the cycle.

CAUTION!

Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
