4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

4.1 Special features

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for an effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption and proper care of fabric.
• The AutoDose technology automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent according to the load; the drawer has two integrated tanks (detergent + softener) and two additional compartments for detergent and additives manual load. It gives the highest use flexibility.
• The Wi-Fi connection and Remote Start enable you to start a cycle, to interact with your washing machine and to check the washing cycle status in remote control.
• The Oko-Mix technology has been designed to protect the fabric fibres thanks to different pre-mixing phases that dissolves first the detergent and then fabric softener in the water before they are distributed in the laundry. So every fibre is reached and cared for.
• The ProSense technology detects the laundry load size defining the programme duration in 30 seconds.

Read this chapter carefully.

7.1 Introduction

Right detergent and fabric softener dosage takes better care of the laundry and ensuring good wash performances.
Page 21
Manual
Aut oDos e
(Manual)
ENGLISH 21
Too much detergent damages your clothes and too little doesn’t ensure good wash performances.
This appliance is equipped with an auto dosing system able to automatically provide the right detergent and fabric softener dosage to preserve the fabric integrity and colour brightness.
AutoDose detergent tank.
AutoDose fabric softener tank.
The appliance is pre-set by the factory to suit most users habits.
Once started the programme, the appliance will automatically release the right amount of detergent and softener according to the real fabric load, if the
indicators and/or are on in the display.
In some programmes, AutoDose is OFF (OFF is on
and the indicators
and/or are off in the display) because there are garments requiring special detergents or treatments. When OFF is on, pour the detergent and other treatments in the proper manual filling compartment. Please refer to "AutoDose and options compatibility with programmes" in "Programmes" chapter.
Further explanations on AutoDose and activation of advanced settings are available downloading the APP.

7.2 Detergent dispenser with AutoDose tanks and manual compartments

When using detergent and any other treatments, always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the detergent products. Anyway, we recommend not to exceed the maximum indicated level in each
compartment (
If both AutoDose tanks are enabled in the set programme, liquid detergent and fabric softener are automatically loaded.
If one of the AutoDose tank or both are disabled (OFF ) in the set
programme, proceed by manually filling the product in the proper compartment.

7.3 AutoDose basic setting

The factory pre-set doses for a large load are 90 ml for detergent tank and 25 ml for fabric softener tank: the optimal configuration to meet majority of use condition. Based on this setting, the appliance will calculate the precise dosage for each wash.
However, under extreme conditions (very soft or very hard water) and particular type of detergent (such as super compact), we recommend to adjust the pre-set dosage by following the indication given on detergent and fabric softener container: e.g when using super compact detergent you may need to reduce the pre-set dosage considerably.
If the washing results are not satisfying or there is too much foam during washing, you may need to change the factory setting. Read in the paragraph 'AutoDose configuration mode' how to change the basic setting, but before:
1. Identify the water hardness level.
Check the water hardness level in your area. The levels are generally indicated as: soft, medium and hard. If necessary, please contact your local water authority to check the water hardness in your area.
2. Identify the customized detergent dosage.
Check the label in the detergent/ fabric softener container suggesting the quantity to use. This suggestion is measured combining three different factors:
• Water hardness level (see the
following table);
• Normal soil level;
• Rated capacity of the appliance
(e.g. maximum load capacity 9 kg). If the rated capacity on the product container refers to lower capacity appliances, the customized dosage should be increased.

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

11.1 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 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.
Page 38
www.aeg.com38
• 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. ).
• 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.
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

11.2 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.
– 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.
• 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 (
• Use the recommended detergents for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.

11.4 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, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer.
