spin speed, in washing only mode, with rated capacity 10 kg is able to clean normally soiled cotton laun‐ dry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle.

For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data, please refer to 'Consumption Values' chapter. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.

2) Cottons energy saving programme. This programme at 60ºC with a load of 10 kg is the reference

programme for data entered in the energy label, in compliance with 96/60/EC Directive. Set this pro‐ gramme to have a good washing results and decrease the energy consumption. The time of the washing programme is extended.

3) According to Commission Regulation EU 2019/2023. This programme at default temperature and

spin speed, in washing and drying mode, with rated capacity 6 kg and with Cupboard dry level performs the wash and dry cycle able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle and, after drying phase, the laundry can be immediately stored in a cupboard.

4) This programme is the drying reference programme for data entered in the energy label on compliance

with 96/60/EC Directive. The test performance, in accordance with EN 50229, must be carried out with a FIRST drying load of the maximum declared drying capacity (load composition according to EN61121) by setting the AUTOMATIC CUPBOARD DRY for Eco 40-60 programme. The SECOND drying load with the residual load must be tested by setting the AUTOMATIC CUPBOARD DRY for Eco 40-60 programme.

5) 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.

6) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry could be humid. It

is better to expose the items to the fresh air for about 10 minutes to let the humidity dry. When the pro‐ gramme is completed, quickly remove the laundry from the drum. After a steam cycle, items may be iron‐ ed however with less effort.

16. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

16.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white,

coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Follow the washing instructions on the

laundry care labels.

Page 36

www.aeg.com36

• 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 stubborn 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.

• 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.

• 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. ).

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

16.2 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.

Do not spray stain remover on garments near the appliance as it is corrosive to the plastic parts.

16.3 Detergent type and quantity

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:

• Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines. First, follow these generic rules:

– 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.

• 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 soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used.

• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding

the indicated maximum level (

Page 37

ENGLISH 37

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• Use less detergent if:

– you are washing a small load, – the laundry is lightly soiled, – there is large amounts of foam

during washing.

• When using detergent tabs or pods, always put them inside the drum, not in the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,

• the wash load to turn grey,

• greasy clothes,

• mould in the appliance.

Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,

• reduced washing effect,

• inadequate rinsing,

• a greater impact for the environment.

16.4 Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

• Loading the appliance to the

maximum capacity indicated for each programmes helps to reduce energy and water consumption.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer and check the water hardness of you domestic system. Refer to 'Water hardness'.

• Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected programme for saving energy during drying phase!

16.5 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.

17. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

17.1 Periodic cleaning schedule

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life of your appliance.

After each cycle, keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air circulation and dry the humidity inside the appliance: this will prevent mildew and odours.

If the appliance is not used for a long time: close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

Descaling Twice a year

Maintenance wash Once a month

Clean door seal Every two months

Clean drum Every two months

Remove fluff inside the drum

Clean detergent dis‐ penser

Primary air filter After each cycle

Twice a month

Every two months

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.

3. Do not pour any detergent or softener before a drying cycle.

4. Do not dry rough and smooth textiles together, to avoid scorching on smooth garments.

5. Remove all objects from garment pockets, especially melting objects.

When the drying programme is completed remove the laundry in a short time.

Remove any foreign objects (such as metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you

may find in the door seal, the filters and the drum. Refer to 'Door seal with double lip trap', 'Cleaning the drum', 'Cleaning the drain pump' and 'Cleaning the inlet hose and the valve filter' paragraphs. If necessary, please contact the Authorised Service Centre.

Page 39

ENGLISH 39

17.3 External cleaning

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

Do not use a scouring pads or any scratching material.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.

CAUTION!

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

17.4 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 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.

17.5 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.

To eliminate these deposits and hygienize the inner part of the appliance, run a maintenance wash regularly (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 or, if

available, run the Machine Clean programme.

17.6 Door seal

This appliance is designed with a self cleaning draining system, allowing light

fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be drained out with the water. Regularly examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other small items can be recovered at the end of the cycle.

Clean it when needed, using ammonia cream cleanser agent without scratching the seal surface.

Always obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

17.7 Cleaning the drum

Regularly examine the drum to prevent unwanted deposits. Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign body in the washing or tap water containing iron.

Clean the drum with special products for stainless steel.

Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product. Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling products, scouring products containing chlorine or iron or steel.

For a thorough clean:

1. Clean the drum with special products for stainless steel.

Page 40

www.aeg.com40

Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

2. Run a short cotton programme at high temperature with empty drum and with a small quantity of powder detergent or, if available, run the Machine Clean programme.

17.8 Cleaning the detergent

dispenser

To prevent possible deposits of dried detergent or clotted fabric softener and/or formation of mould in the detergent dispenser drawer, once in a while carry out the following cleaning procedure:

1. Open the drawer. Press the catch downwards as indicated in the picture and pull it out.

3. Make sure that all detergent residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Use a small brush to clean the recess.

4. Insert the detergent drawer into the guide rails and close it. Run the rinsing programme without any clothes in the drum.

2. Remove the top part of the additive compartment to aid cleaning and flush it out under running warm water, to remove any traces of accumulated detergent. After cleaning, replace the top part in its position.

17.9 Cleaning the air filters

The air filters collect the fluff. The fluff normally occurs when the clothes are dried in a washer-dryer.

• At the end of each drying cycle in the

display the indicator is on to advise to clean the primary air filter (see pictures from 1 to 5). The acoustic signal operates.

• Occasionally the indicator may flash to remind you that both air filters should be cleaned: the primary air filter and the secondary air filter (for secondary filter, see pictures from 6 to

8). The acoustic signal operates.

To have best drying performances clean the air filters regularly. Clogged filters make cycles longer and increase the energy consumption.
