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 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 SoftWater Technology acts as water softener and removes harsh minerals from the inlet water and supplies soft water for the washing. Wash after wash, fabric stiffness,

shrinkage and colour fading are prevented.

• The MyWash 49min programme ensures a perfect care of fabrics and optimal washing results in maximum 49 minutes. It makes your clothes life longer reducing colour fading and pilling formation!

• 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.

1 2 3

12 13

www.aeg.com12

The washing programme is tailored to the laundry load and the type of fabric without consuming more time, energy and water than necessary.

• The steam has a quick and easy way to refresh the clothes. The gentle steam programmes remove odours and reduce creases in dry fabrics so they need little ironing.

4.2 Appliance overview

The Plus Steam option, finishes every cycle with gentle steam that relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric creasing. Ironing will be easier!

• The Stains option pre-treats stubborn stains optimizing the effectiveness of the stain remover.

5. THE WATER SOFTENER (SOFT WATER)

ENGLISH 13

5.1 Introduction

The water contains harsh minerals. The higher the content of these minerals the harder the water is.

Hard water can reduce the effectiveness of the detergent, reduce the softness of fabrics and contribute towards shrinkage and colour fading.

This appliance is equipped with a water softener able to provide the right degree of water softening to preserve the fabric integrity, colour brightness and ensuring good wash performances at low temperature.

The water softener should be adjusted according to the water hardness of your inlet water. A correct setting allows to achieve the best washing results and the maximum garments protection.

To set the water softener correctly, please refer to 'How to set the water hardness level'.

5.2 How to set the water hardness level

The appliance allows you to chose between 7 levels corresponding to 7 different ranges of water hardness.

Depending on the country, the water hardness is expressed in equivalent scales: e.g. French degrees (°f), German degrees (°d), English degrees (°e), mmol/l and ppm.

If necessary, please contact your local water authority to check the water hardness in your area.

Check in the "Water hardness levels" table which is the proper level.

To set the water hardness level:

1. Press the On/Off button for a few seconds to activate the appliance.

2. Wait about 10 seconds for appliance internal check.

3. Touch the Stains/Prewash and the Plus Steam buttons simultaneously (by touching the two buttons at the

www.aeg.com14

same instant, as shown in the next drawing) for some seconds until the display shows the default level C04

and the indicator

goes on. It means the water softener is active during washing only.

4. Touch repeatedly the Stains/Prewash button until the desired level appears (from C01 to C07).

5. Touch the Start/Pause button to confirm your choice and exit the menu.

How to set the water softener also during rinse phase

The factory setting allows to soften the water during washing phase only. This setting satisfies most of the use condition. However, if the inlet water is particularly hard (C06 and C07 levels),

we suggest to set the water softener also during rinsing phase to preserve the fabric softness.

Once you have entered the menu by pressing Stains/Prewash and the Plus Steam buttons:

1. Touch the Plus Steam button. The

goes on.

This setting increases the salt consumption.

2. Touch the Start/Pause button to confirm your choice and exit the menu.

How to deactivate the water softener

Once you have entered the menu by pressing Stains/Prewash and the Plus Steam buttons:

1. By touching the Plus Steam button twice, the water softener is excluded

completely. The indicator

5.3 Pouring salt

The water softener function acts through special resins present in the appliance.

To regenerate the resins and make them ready to soften the water pour a special

salt in the compartment

1. Open the detergent dispenser.

2. Open the compartment

The compartment

can contain about 600 gr of salt that are sufficient for about two months if the default water hardness level (C04) is set and the water softener is activated during wash phase only. A different water hardness level or different setting may increase or decrease the salt consumption. Refer to 'How to set the water hardness level' and 'How to set the water softener also during rinse phase'.

The display shows the indicator

WARNING!

Do not put anything but salt

in the compartment

. If any other detergent/additive is poured inadvertently in this compartment, please refer to 'Eliminating detergent or other additives from salt compartment' in 'Troubleshooting' chapter.

3. Pour the special salt.

4. Close the salt compartment and the

detergent dispenser.

Regularly check if there is enough salt.

Only use special salt for dishwasher and/or washing machine. The proper salt can be ordered from the web site! Other types of salts are less efficient and over time could damage the water softener technology permanently. Do

not use fine salt!

The appliance works normally even without salt, but without exploiting its full potential. If you use the appliance without salt for a long time, once the salt is finally refilled, the water softener function is completely restored after a few long washing cycles.

gramme for spinning the laundry and draining the water left in the drum. The default spin speed is the one used for cotton programmes. Reduce the spin speed accordingly to the type of laundry.

Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation

1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected programme.

During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't

rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.

If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry can be humid.

Line dry the items for about 10 minutes.

Steam programme doesn't remove particularly intense odour.

11. HINTS AND TIPS

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 stubborn 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.

If you set a programme or an option that ends with water in the drum, the Stand-by function doesn't deactivate the appliance to remind you to drain the water.

• 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.

11.3 Detergents and other

treatments

• Only use detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines:

– 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.

www.aeg.com36

• 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.

12. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

12.1 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.

• 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.

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.

CAUTION!

Do not clean the metal surfaces with chlorine-based detergent.

12.2 Descaling

If you use the salt regularly to activate the SoftWater Technology, the descaling procedure described in this paragraph is not necessary.

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water descaling product for washing machines.

12.3 Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low temperature and short programmes can cause detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial growth and biofilm formation inside the drum and the tub. This could generate bad odours and mildew.

To eliminate these deposits and hygienize the inner part of the appliance, run a maintenance wash at least once a month:

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.

2. Run a cotton programme with the

highest temperature with a small quantity of powder detergent.
