key supplied with the appliance.
We recommend that you
keep the packaging and the
transit bolts for any
movement of the appliance.

Do not use an extension
hose if the inlet hose is too
short. Contact the service
centre for the replacement
of the inlet hose.
3.4 Water-stop device
The inlet hose has a water stop device.
This device prevents water leaks in the
hose because of its natural ageing.
The red sector in the window «A» shows
this fault.
Make sure that the inlet hose
is not in vertical position.
3. If necessary, loose the ring nut to set
it in the correct position.
4. Connect the water inlet hose to the
cold water tap with 3/4" thread.
If this occurs, close the water tap and

drain hose and the
extension.
Page 10
www.aeg.com10
It is possible to connect the drain hose in
different ways:
1. Make a U shape with the drain hose
and put it around the plastic hose
guide.
2. On the edge of a sink - Fasten the
guide to the water tap or to the wall.
Make sure that the plastic
guide cannot move when
the appliance drains.
The end of the drain hose
must always be ventilated ,
i.e. the inner diameter of the
drain pipe (min. 38 mm min. 1.5") must be larger
than the external diameter
of the drain hose.
4. If the end of the drain hose looks like
this (see the picture), you can push it
directly into the stand pipe.
5. Without the plastic hose guide, to
a sink spigot - Put the drain hose in
the spigot and tighten it with a
clamp. Refer to the illustration.
Make sure that the drain
hose end is not immersed in
the water. There may be a
return of dirty water into the
appliance.
3. To a stand pipe with vent-hole Insert the drain hose directly into a
drain pipe. Refer to the illustration.
Make sure that the drain
hose makes a loop to
prevent particles going into
the appliance from the sink.
6. Position the hose directly to a builtin drain pipe in the room wall and
tighten it with a clamp.

13. 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, we
recommend that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you
washed and dried light coloured
fabrics (new sponge, hand towel,
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 air
filters, the empty drum, the gasket
and the door with a wet cloth.
Page 30
www.aeg.com30
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.
• Simultaneously press the Centrif. and
the Quick Wash buttons until the
display shows CLE to activate the
cleaning function.
14. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
14.1 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.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty pockets and unfold.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
• Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• 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, etc. ).
• 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
"Opening the door when a
programme or the delay start
operates");
• Touch the Inicio/Pausa button to start
the programme.
If the appliance is frequently
used, carry out the CLE
programme regularly.
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c. press the Inicio/Pausa button.
The spin phase continues.
14.2 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.
14.3 Detergents and other
treatments
• Only use detergents and other
treatments specially made for
washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate
fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for
low temperature wash
programmes (60 °C max) for all
types of fabric, or special ones for
woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the recommended quantity
of detergent.
• Follow the instructions that you find
on packaging of the detergents or
other treatments without exceeding
the indicated maximum level (
).
Page 31
ENGLISH 31
• Use the recommended detergents for
the type and colour of the fabric, the
programme temperature and the
level of soil.
14.4 Ecological hints
• Set a programme without the
prewash phase to wash laundry with
normal soil.
• Always start a washing programme
with the maximum load of laundry
allowed.
• If you pre-treat the stains, you can use
a stain remover when you set a
programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of
detergent, check the water hardness
of your domestic system. Refer to
"Water hardness".
14.5 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.
14.6 Drying hints
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.
14.7 Items not suitable for
drying
Do not set a drying programme for
this laundry:
• Very delicate items.
• Synthetic curtains.
• Pieces of clothing with metal inserts.
• Nylon stockings.
• Quilts.
• Bed covers.
• Duvets.
• Anoraks.
• Sleeping bags.
• Fabrics with residue of hair sprays, nail
solvents or similar.
• Garments with foam-rubber or
materials similar to foam-rubber.
14.8 Garment labels
When you dry the laundry, obey the
indications on the labels of the
manufacturers:
•
= The item can be tumble dried
= The drying cycle is at high
•
temperature
•
= The drying cycle is at reduced
temperature
= The item can not be tumble
•
dried.
14.9 Drying cycle duration
The drying time can change depending
on:
• speed of the last spin
• dryness level
• type of laundry
• weight of the load
14.10 Additional drying
If, at the end of the drying programme,
the laundry is still damp, set a short
drying cycle again.
WARNING!
To avoid creasing and
shrinkage do not overdry
the laundry.
14.11 General Tips
Refer to the «Drying programmes» table
to find the average drying times.
Experience will help you to dry the
laundry better. Take note of the duration
of the cycles done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of
the drying cycle:
1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing
cycle.
Page 32
www.aeg.com32
2. Use special fabric conditioner for
tumble dryers.
15. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
15.1 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and

surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
15.2 Descaling
If the water hardness in your
area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a
water descaling product for
washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to check for
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.
When the drying programme is
completed remove the laundry promptly.
