Instructions for use

Instructions for use

1 Safety

The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to the recognised
technical regulations and the legislation covering the safety of appli­ances. However, as manufacturers, we still regard it as our responsibility
to inform you of the following safety information.

Before Putting into Operation for the First Time

• Refer to the ”Installation and Connection Instructions” later in this
user information.

• When the unit is delivered in winter months with minus tempera­tures: Store the washing machine for 24 hours at room temperature
before putting it into operation.

Correct Use

• The washing machine is only designed for normal domestic washing.
If the unit is used for purposes other than that for which it is de­signed, the manufacturer can accept no liability for any resulting
damages.

• For safety reasons, conversions or modifications to the washing ma­chine are not permissible.

• Use only detergents which are suitable for washing machines. Follow
the washing detergent manufacturer's instructions.

• The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also remem­ber this when washing pre-cleaned washing.

• Do not use the washing machine for chemical cleaning.

• Dyes/ dye removers may only be used in washing machines if the

manufacturer expressly allows these products. We cannot be held lia­ble for any resulting damage.

• Use only water from the water mains. Use rainwater or service water
only if it meets the requirements outlined in DIN1986 and DIN 1988.

• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine
is in a room which is at risk from frost, an emergency emptying oper­ation must be carried out when there is a frost risk (see the section
”Carry Out Emergency Emptying”).

6

Instructions for use

Child Safety

• Packaging components (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be hazardous to
children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.

• Children often cannot recognise the hazards associated with handling
electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure the necessary supervision dur­ing operation and do not allow children to play with the washing ma­chine – there is a risk that children can get trapped inside.

• Ensure that children or small animals cannot climb into the washing
machine's drum.

• When disposing of the washing machine: Pull out the mains plug, de­stroy the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and throw away
the plug and the left-over cable. This means that children at play
cannot shut themselves inside and in so doing be in danger.

General Safety

• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified
specialists. Incorrect repairs may result in significant risk to the user.
If repairs are necessary, consult our customer service or your special­ist dealer.

• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the
conrol panel, work surface or base panel area are so badly damaged
that the interior of the unit is openly accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine before carrying out cleaning, care
and maintenance work. Also pull the mains plug out of the socket or,
– if it is permanently connected, – switch off the circuit breaker at
the household power distribution box or completely remove the
screw-in fuse.

• Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the socket. Always
pull the plug itself.

• Multiple connectors, couplings and extension cables must not be
used. There is a risk of fire with overheating!

• Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Risk of
electric shock!

• The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of wash programmes
with high temperatures. Do not touch!

• Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying out an emergency
emptying operation or cleaning the drain pump.

• Small animals can chew the power cables and water hoses. Risk of
electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away
from the washing machine.

Instructions for use

2 Disposal

Dispose the packing material!

Dispose of your washing machine's packaging correctly. All the packag­ing materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recy­cled.

• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:

>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material
>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free)
>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips

• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and
should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.

Dispose the old appliance!

When you finally put your appliance out of operation,
please bring it to your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.

2 Environment Tips

• The pre-wash cycle is not required for averagely dirty washing. This
saves washing powder/liquid, water and time (and does not harm the
environment).

• The washing machine is especially economical when you fully utilise
the stated filling quantities.

• For small amounts of washing, use only half to two thirds the recom­mended amount of washing powder/liquid.

• Suitable pretreatment enables stains and small amounts of dirt to be
removed. You can then wash at a lower temperature.

• Use the energy-saving program to wash garments which are lightly to
moderately dirty.

• There is often no need for conditioner. Try it once! If you use a dryer,
your washing will become soft and velvety even without conditioner.

• In the case of medium to high water hardness, (hardness range II or
higher, see ”Washing and Care Agents”), you should use water sof­tener.
The washing powder/liquid can then always be metered for hardness
range I (= soft).

Instructions for use

Prepare the Washing Cycle

Sort and Prepare the Washing

• Sort the washing according to care codes and type (see ”Washing

Types and Care Codes”).

• Empty pockets.

• Remove metal parts (paper clips, safety pins etc.).

• To prevent washing damage and washing snags: Close zip fasteners,

button closed bed covers and pillow cases, and tie together ribbons,

e.g. on aprons.

• Use clothing made of double-layer fabric (sleeping bag, anorak etc.).

• On knitted, coloured textiles and on wool and textiles with fitted

decorations: Turn inside out.

• Wash small and sensitive items (baby socks, stockings, tights, bras

etc.) in a washing net, a cushion with a zip fastener or in larger socks.

• Treat curtains with particular care. Remove small metal rollers or

small, burred rollers or tie them in a net or in a bag. We cannot ac-

cept any liability for damage.

• Do not wash coloureds and whites together in one washing cycle.

Otherwise, whites will discolour or turn grey.

• New coloureds often contain surplus dye. It is best to wash such

items separately the first time.

• Mix small and large items of washing! This speeds up theeffect of

washing and the washing is more favourably distributed during spin-

ning.

• Loosen up the washing before loading it into the washing machine.

• Put the washing into the drum folded out.

• Pay attention to the care instructions ”Wash separately” and ”Wash

separately several times”!

Instructions for use

Washing Types and Care Symbols

The care symbols help you choose the correct wash programme. The
washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The tem­peratures stated in the care symbols are all maximum values.

Cottons ç

Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care symbol are resistant to
mechanical stress and high temperatures. The t (COTTONS/LINEN)
programme is suitable for this type of washing.

Linen è ë

Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care symbol are resistant to
mechanical stress. The t (COTTONS/LINEN) programme is suitable for
this type of washing.

Easy-care washing ê í

Textilies such as finished cotton, cotton mixtures, viscose and synthet­ics with these care symbols require gentler mechanical treatment. The
} (EASY-CARES) programme is suitable for this type of washing.

Delicates ì

Textiles such as fibre blends, microfibres, viscose, synthetics and net cur­tains with this care symbol need particularly gentle treatment. The Ã
(DELICATES) programme is suitable for this type of washing.

16

Woollens and particularly delicate washing 9 ì

Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with these care symbols
are especially sensitive to mechanical stress. The s (WOOLLENS) pro­gramme is suitable for this type of textile.

Important! Textiles with care symbols ï (handwash) or ñ (Do not
wash!) must not be washed in the washing machine!

Instructions for use

Washing Detergents and Care Agents

Which detergent and care agent?

Use only detergents and care agents which are suitable for use in wash­ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

How much detergent and care agent?

The amount to be used depends on:

• the dirtiness of the washing

• the hardness category of the mains water supply

• the quantity of washing

If the detergent manufacturer does not include dosing instructions for

2

reduced loads, use one third less for half loads and only half of the full
load detergent quantity for very small loads.
Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's instructions on use
and dosage.

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you
should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instruc­tions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The
responsible water works can provide information on the local water
hardness.

Water Hardness Details

Hardness Category

I – soft 0 - 7 up to 1.3

II – medium hard 7 - 14 1.3 - 2.5

Instructions for use

If the washing result is not satisfactory

If the washing is grey and limescale forms in the drum

• Not enough washing detergent added.

• The right washing detergent was not used.

• Special types of stain were not pretreated.

• Program or temperature incorrectly set.

• If binary wahing detergents were used, the individual components

were not added in the correct ratio.

If there are still grey stains on the washing

• Washing contaminated with creams, grease or oils was washing with

too little detergent.

Setting up and connection instructions

Prepare the Installation Location

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and free of floor wax resi-

due and other lubricating coatings so that the unit does not slide
away. Do not use any lubricants as sliding aids.

• It is not recommended to set up the washing machine on deep-pile

carpets or on floor coverings with soft foam underlays, as this would
mean that the stability of the unit would not be guaranteed.

• Use ordinary rubber mats as underlays in locations with small-format

tiles.

• Never use wood, card or similar underlays to compensate for minor

floor unevenness. Always use the adjustable screw-type feet of the
machine.

• If, for reasons of space, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit

next to a gas cooker or coal stove: Insert a thermally-insulating panel
between the washing machine and the cooker (85 x 57cm). This panel
must have an aluminium foil on the side against the cooker.

• The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there

is a danger of frost. Frost damage!

• The intake and drainage hoses must not be bent or pinched.

38

Setting Up on a Concrete Pedestal

When setting up the washing machine on
a concrete pedestal, it is essential for
safety reasons to fit stand plates in which
the washing machine is then adjusted.
The stand plates are available from the
Customer Service under spare part
number 645 425 058.

Setting Up on a Vibrating floor

In the case of vibrating floors, especially wooden beam floors with flex­ible boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden panel at least
15mm thick onto at least 2 of the floor beams. If possible, set up the
unit in a corner of the room where the wooden floor is best firmly in­stalled and is therefore least likely to be susceptible to vibrations.

Setting up and connection instructions

Compensate for Floor Unevenness

Floor unevenness can be compensated for and the height can be cor­rected with the four adjustable screw feet. The height can be adjusted
in a range of +10 ... -5 mm.

DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS.

Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still oc­cur. Our consumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or
after the guarantee period. The service life of the appliance will not, however, be re­duced as a result.

This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and
the provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this
legislation are not affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendor's statutory warranty to the end user. The
appliance is guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following
terms:

1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of
charge any defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is deliv­ered to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent
purposes.

2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was
in before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced
free of charge become our property.

3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention imme­diately.

4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase show­ing the purchase and/or delivery date.

5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous
ceramic), synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.

6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or the
overall reliability of the appliance.

7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:

• a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,

• abnormal environmental conditions in general,

• unsuitable operating conditions,

• contact with harsh substances.

8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred outside
of our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate installa­tion or assembly, lack of maintenance or failure to respect the assembly instructions or
directions for use.

9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are not qualified
or expert or defects that result from the addition of non-original accessories or spare
parts are not covered by the guarantee.

10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer services
department. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or built-in appli­ances.

11. If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that remov­ing and replacing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half an hour,
the costs that result therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage caused by these
removal and replacement operations will be the responsibility of the user.

Guarantee conditions

12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive,
or if the repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with the consumer,
the defective appliance may be replaced with another appliance of the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated accord­ing to the length of time it has been used.

13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be ex­tended nor that a new guarantee period begins.

14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.

15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee

terms excludes any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the con­sumer wishes to assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted liability, compensa­tion will not exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance.

These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For
exported appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical con­ditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the coun­try concerned and that they can withstand the local climatic and environmental
conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the user must first ensure that they meet
the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments are not
covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases.

Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee
period has expired.

Service

In the section ”What to do if ...” there is a list of some faults which you
can remedy yourself. Look there first if a fault occurs. If you find no in­formation there, please consult your Customer Service Centre.

Always prepare in advance for the discussion. By doing so you will sim­plify the diagnosis and the decision on whether customer service is
necessary.

Note the PNC-number and the
S-number. Both can be found on the
rating plate on the inside of the door
on your washing machine.

PNC .....................................................

S-No. .....................................................

Answer as precisely as possible:

• What form does the fault take?

• Under what circumstances does the fault occur?

When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?

– if you could have dealt with the fault yourself with the aid of the

Faults Table (see the section ”What to do if ...”),

– if several trips by the customer service technician are necessary be-

cause he had not received all the necessary information before his
visit and must now e.g. fetch spare parts. These multiple trips can be
avoided if you prepare your phone call as described above.
