During the washing and/or drying phase,
some types of fabric, (sponge, wool,

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.
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.
• Touch at the same time Spin and
Extra Rinse to activate the cleaning
function until the display shows CLE.

HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
14.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that
are on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and
coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted
illustrations.
Page 26
26
www.aeg.com
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance 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. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase
again.
14.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove 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 additives
• Only use detergents and additives
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 for
woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of
detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the
programme temperature and the
level of soil.
• If your appliance has not the
detergent dispenser with the flap
device, add the liquid detergents with
a dosing ball (supplied by the
detergent's manufacturer).
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.
• If necessary, use a stain remover when
you set a programme with a low
temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of the
detergent, check the water hardness
of your domestic system
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 know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
14.6 Drying hints
Prepare the drying cycle
• Open the water tap.
• Do a check if the connection of the
drain hose is correct. Refer to

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 size
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 creases of fabrics
or shrinks of the clothing
do not over dry the
laundry.
14.11 General Tips
Refer to the «Drying programmes» table
to find the average drying times.
The experience will help you to dry the
laundry in a more correct way. Take note
of the duration drying time 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 in a short
time.
15. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
15.1 External cleaning
Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
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 prevent
limescale and rust particles.
To remove rust particles use only special
products for washing machine. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.
Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.
15.3 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance
wash. To do this:
• Remove the laundry from the drum.
Page 28

To have best drying performances clean regularly the air filters with warm
water and afterwards dry them with a towel.
Clogged air filter increases the drying time and the energy consumption!

The primary filter recess must not be blocked by any object.
If you only wash the laundry with your washer-dryer, it is normal to find
some humidity in the primary air filter.
15.7 Cleaning the drain filter
Do not clean the drain filter if the water in the appliance is hot.

ENGLISH 41
The appliance can be installed as
freestanding or below the kitchen counter
with correct space (see picture).
CAUTION!
To assure free air circulation
under the appliance, do not
attach the sound barriers (if

• Install the appliance on a flat hard floor.
• Make sure that carpets do not stop the air
circulation below the appliance.
• Make sure that the appliance does not
touch the wall or other units.

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.
17.6 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.
If this occur, close the water tap and contact
the service centre to replace the hose.
17.7 Water drainage
There are different procedures to connect the drain hose:
With the plastic hose guide:

• Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not
less than 60 cm (23.6”) and not more than
100 cm (39.3”). Refer to the illustration.
• 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.
Without the plastic hose guide.
Drain hose end
• If the end of the drain hose looks like this
