This programme can also be used as water-repellent restoring
cycle, specifically tailored for treating clothes with a hydropho‐
bic coating. To perform the water-repellent restoring cycle, pro‐
ceed as follows:

• Pour the washing detergent in the compartment

• Pour a special water-repellent restorer for fabric in the

drawer compartment for fabric softener .

• Reduce the laundry load to 1 kg.

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 Старт/Пауза 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.

If you set a programme or an
option that ends with water
in the drum, the Stand-by
function doesn't deactivate
the appliance to remind you
to drain the water.

underwired bras, belts, tights,
shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).

• 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.

Do not spray stain remover on garments
near the appliance as it is corrosive to
the plastic parts.

www.aeg.com30

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 (also tablets

and single-dose detergents) for all
types of fabric, excluding delicate.
Prefer powder detergents
containing bleach for whites and
laundry sanitization,

– liquid detergents (also single-dose

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 and follow
the manufacturer's
recommendations .

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:

• 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!

13.5 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.

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

Use the correct quantity of water
softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.

14. CARE AND CLEANING

14.2 Removing foreign objects

Make sure that pockets are
empty and all loose
elements are tied up before
running your cycle. Refer to
"The laundry load" in "Hints
and tips".

Remove any foreign objects (such as
metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you
may find in the door seal, the filters and
the drum. Refer to "Door seal with double
lip trap", "Cleaning the drum", "Cleaning

the drain pump" and "Cleaning the inlet
hose and the valve filter" paragraphs. If

limescale.

The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with empty
drum and a descaling product
occasionally.

Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.

14.5 Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues,
bacterial growth inside the drum and the
tub. This could generate bad odours and
mildew.

To eliminate these deposits and
hygienize the inner part of the appliance,

least once a month):

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.

2. Run a cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small
quantity of powder detergent or, if
available, run the Очистка
programme.

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.

Clean it when needed, using ammonia
cream cleanser agent without scratching
the seal surface.

Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.

For a thorough clean:

1. Clean the drum with special products
