1) According to Commission Regulation EU 2019/2023. This programme at default temperature and

spin speed, in washing only mode, with rated capacity 8 kg is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle.

For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data, please refer to 'Consumption Values' chapter. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

2) Cottons energy saving programme. This programme at 60ºC with a load of 8 kg is the reference

programme for data entered in the energy label, in compliance with 96/60/EC Directive. Set this pro‐ gramme to have a good washing results and decrease the energy consumption. The time of the washing programme is extended.

3) According to Commission Regulation EU 2019/2023. This programme at default temperature and

spin speed, in washing and drying mode, with rated capacity 6 kg and with Cupboard dry level performs the wash and dry cycle able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle and, after drying phase, the laundry can be immediately stored in a cupboard.

4) This programme is the drying reference programme for data entered in the energy label on compliance

with 96/60/EC Directive. The test performance, in accordance with EN 50229, must be carried out with a FIRST drying load of the maximum declared drying capacity (load composition according to EN61121) by setting the AUTOMATIC CUPBOARD DRY for Eco 40-60 programme. The SECOND drying load with the residual load must be tested by setting the AUTOMATIC CUPBOARD DRY for Eco 40-60 programme.

5) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't

rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.

6) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry could be humid. It

15. FLUFF IN THE FABRICS

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

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:

• Do not wash dark fabrics after you

washed and dried light coloured fabrics (hand towel, wool, sweatshirt ) and the contrary.

• Dry this type of fabrics at open air

when they are washed the first time.

• Clean the drain filter.

• After the drying phase, clean the

empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.

16. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

16.1 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.

After drying phase, clean the drum, the seal and the inside of the door with a wet cloth.

To remove the fluff inside the drum, proceed as follows:

• Empty the drum.

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

• Set the rinse programme.

• Simultaneously press the Spin and the Quick Wash buttons until the display shows CLE to activate the cleaning function.

• Touch the Start/Pause button to start the programme.

If the appliance is frequently used, carry out the CLE programme regularly.

• 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 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. ).

www.aeg.com36

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

16.2 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.

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.

16.3 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

16.4 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

ENGLISH 37

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 programme for saving energy during drying phase!

16.5 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.

16.6 Prepare the drying cycle

• Open the water tap.

• Check if the drain hose is connected properly. Refer to installation chapter for more information.

• For the maximum laundry load of the drying programmes, refer to the drying programmes table.
