12. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

12.1 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:
The drum turns regularly to prevent the creases in the laundry.
The lid lock indicator is on. The lid stays locked.
You must drain the water to open the lid:
1. If necessary, decrease the spin speed.
2. Press the Start/Pause
The appliance drains the water and spins.
3. When the programme is completed
and the door lock indicator goes off, you can open the door .
4. Press On/Off some seconds to deactivate the appliance.
The appliance drains and spins automatically after approximately18 hours.
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 Start/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. ).
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
button.
Page 25

12.2 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.

12.3 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 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.

12.4 Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:
Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewash in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• 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!

12.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing
).
machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.
ENGLISH 25

www.aeg.com26
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.

13. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
