SAFETY INFORMATION

Before the installation and use of the ap­pliance, carefully read the supplied in­structions. The manufacturer is not re­sponsible if an incorrect installation and
use causes injuries and damages. Always
keep the instructions with the appliance
for future reference.

1.1 Children and vulnerable
people safety

WARNING!

Risk of suffocation, injury or per­manent disability.

• Do not let persons, children included,
with reduced physical sensory, re­duced mental functions or lack of ex­perience and knowledge use the ap­pliance. They must have supervision or
instruction for the operation of the ap­pliance by a person who is responsible
for their safety.

• Do not let children play with the appli­ance.

• Keep all packaging away from chil­dren.

• Keep all detergents away from chil­dren.

• Keep children and pets away from the
appliance door when it is open.

• If the appliance has a child safety de­vice, we recommend you activate it.

1.2 Child safety device

• When you activate this device, you
cannot close the door. This prevents
children or pets to be closed in the
drum. To activate the device, turn it
clockwise, until the groove is horizon­tal. To deactivate the device, turn it
counterclockwise, until the groove is
vertical.

1.3 General safety

• Do not use the appliance for profes­sional use. The appliance is only for
domestic use.

• Do not change the specifications of
this appliance. There is the risk of in­jury and damage to the appliance.

• Do not dry not washed items in the
appliance.

• Do not use the drying programme if
you have used industrial chemicals for
cleaning.

• When you load the appliance make
sure that no gas lighters or matches
are accidentally left in the garments
pockets .

• Wash in hot water with extra deter­gent before you dry the items that
have stains of substances such as
cooking oil acetone, petrol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers .

• Do not dry in this appliance items such
as foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof textiles (if there is no
special drying programme), rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows
fitted with foam rubber pads.

• Oil-affected items can ignite sponta­neously, especially when exposed to
heat sources such as in a drying pro­gramme. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in the
oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, the items can become
hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stack­ing or storing oil-affected items can
prevent heat from escaping and so
create a fire hazard.

If you can not avoid that you dry fab­rics that contain vegetable or cooking
oil or products contaminated by hair
care, first wash them in hot water with
extra detergent - this will reduce, but
not eliminate, the hazard.

The final part of the drying pro­gramme occurs without heat (cool
down cycle) to ensure that the items
are left at a temperature that ensures
that items will not be damaged.

• Do not install the appliance behind a
lockable door, a sliding door, a door
with a hinge on the opposite side in
such a way that a full opening of the
door is restricted.

• Fabric softener or equivalent products
must be used as specified by the fab­ric softener manufacturer.

• Obey the safety instructions on the
detergent packaging to prevent burns
to eyes, mouth and throat.

• Plastic items are not heat resistant.
– If you use a detergent ball, remove

it before you set the drying pro­gramme.

– Do not use a detergent ball when

you set a non-stop programme.

WARNING!

Risk of explosion or fire.

• Do not put flammable products or
items that are wet with flammable
products in, near or on the appliance.
if it is not possible to avoid it, fully
rinse with extra water items cleaned
with flammable products.

• To prevent from the risk of self com­bustion do not stop the drying pro­gramme before the end of the drying
cycle unless all items are quickly re­moved and spread out so that the
heat is dissipated.

WARNING!

Risk of burns!

• When you interrupt the drying pro­gramme, the laundry and the drum
may be hot. Remove the laundry care­fully.

• Do not touch the glass of the door
while a programme operates. The

15.3 Fluff in the fabrics

During the washing and/or drying phase,
some types of fabric, (sponge, wool,
sweatshirt) could release fluff.

ENGLISH 21

The released fluff could stick to the fab­rics during the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with techni­cal fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we
recommend that you:

• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light coloured fab­rics (new sponge, wool, sweatshirt )
and the contrary.

• To dry this type of fabrics at open air
when they are washed the first time.

• To clean the drain filter.

• After the drying phase, clean the emp­ty drum, the gasket and the door with
a wet cloth.

To remove the fluff inside the drum,
set a special programme:

• Empty the drum.

• Clean the drum, the gasket and the
door with a wet cloth.

• Set the rinse programme.

16. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

16.1 The laundry load

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

• Obey the washing instructions that are
on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash together white and col­oured items.

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

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.

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

• Remove hard stains.

• Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.

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

• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.

• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase again.

16.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.

www.aeg.com

22

We recommend that you remove 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.

16.3 Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of deter­gents.

• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of de­tergent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the pro­gramme temperature and the level of
soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set
the prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the deter­gent dispenser with the flap device,

add the liquid detergents with a dos­ing ball.

16.4 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.
To know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water
hardness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter­national unit for the hardness of wa­ter).

• Clarke degrees.

Water hardness table

Level Type

machines. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the manufactur­er.
Do this separately from the laundry
wash.

17.2 External cleaning

Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.

With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance
wash. To do this:

• Empty the laundry from the drum.

• Set the hottest cotton wash pro­gramme

• Use a correct quantity of powder de­tergent with biological properties.

After each wash, keep the door open for
a while to prevent mould and to let un­pleasant smells go out.
