To remove the fluff inside the drum, set a special programme:

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.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• 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, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
• Empty the drum.
• Clean the drum, the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.
• Set the rinse programme.
• Simultaneously press the Centrifugeren - Essorage and the Tijd besparen - Rapide buttons until the display shows CLE to activate the cleaning function.

If the appliance is frequently used, carry out the CLE programme regularly.
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/Pauze - Départ/
Pause button. The spin phase continues.
• Avoid washing garments full of long animal hair or poor quality garments releasing lots of fluff that could block the drain circuit and therefore requiring the Service assistance.
• 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.
Page 34
34
www.aeg.com
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 other treatments 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 (detergent flap rotated in position B in the main wash dispenser compartment).
Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• Do not use single dose tablets inside the detergent dispenser.
• 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.
• 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).
14.5

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.

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.

14.11 General Tips

Refer to the «Timed drying» table to find the average drying times.

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.
Regularly examine the drum to check for limescale.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
