• Ensure that there are no visible water leaks during and after the first use of the appliance.

2.4 Use

WARNING!
Risk of injury, electric shock, fire, burns or damage to the appliance.
• This appliance is for household use only.
• Do not change the specification of this appliance.
• Do not put flammable products or items that are wet with flammable products in, near or on the appliance.
• Do not touch the glass of the door while a programme operates. The glass can be hot.
• Do not dry the damaged items which contain padding or fillings.
• If you have washed your laundry with a stain remover start an extra rinse cycle before you start a drying cycle.
• Make sure that you remove all metal objects from the laundry.
• Only dry fabrics which are applicable to dry in the washer-dryer. Follow the instructions on the fabric label.
• Plastic items are not heat resistant.
– If you use a detergent ball,

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 (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 empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.
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 Stains/ Prewash and the Anti-crease 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.

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.
• 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, 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.

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 type and quantity of detergent

Low sudsing detergent is required for this washing machine to prevent oversudsing problems, unsatisfied washing result and harm to the appliance. Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled "Front loading", "high efficiency", "HE" or "Matic".
Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent or Soap-Based products in your front-load washing machine. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor and, in extreme cases, suds flowing out of the appliance with symptoms similar to water leak.

Quantity of detergent to be used

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.
Page 31
ENGLISH 31
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which in large quantities can upset the delicate balance of nature.
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 soil;
• wash temperature; and
• hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified by so-called "degrees" of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufactures' instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly.
Not enough washing powder causes:
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam during washing.

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 or use a stain remover, 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 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:
• 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.
Page 32
www.aeg.com32

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.

15. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

15.1 External cleaning

Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm water only. Fully dry all the 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.

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.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for tumble dryers.
When the drying programme is completed remove the laundry promptly.
Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

15.3 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.
