appliance level prevents the vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.

3.3 The inlet hose

1. Connect the water inlet hose to the
back of the appliance.
2. Position it toward left or right depending on the position of the water tap.
ENGLISH 9
CAUTION!
Make sure that there are no leaks from the couplings.
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 contact the authorized service centre to replace the hose.

3.5 Water drainage

The drain hose should stay at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 100 cm.
You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400 cm. Contact the authorized service centre for the other 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:

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.

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

17. CONSUMPTION VALUES

Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant stand­ards. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltage and the temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing pro­gramme duration.
Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve the quality of product.
During the washing programme, the Prosense technology can vary the wash duration and the consumption values. For more details see 'The Prosense load detection' paragraph in 'Daily Use' chapter.
