Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions
1 Safety
The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as
manufacturers we regard it as our responsibility to inform you about
the following safety instructions.
Before Using for the First Time
• Refer to the "Installation and Connection Instructions" further on in
this user information.
• If units are delivered in the winter months at minus temperatures:
Store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.
Correct Use
• The washing machine is only intended for washing normal domestic
washing. If the appliance is used for a wrong purpose or wrongly operated, the manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any damages.
• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly forbidden due to safety reasons.
• Use only detergent which is suitable for washing machines. Refer to
the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
• The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also bear this
in mind when washing pre-cleaned washing.
• Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.
• Dyes /dye-removing agents may only be used in the washing machine
if the manufacturer expressly permits use of these products. We cannot accept liability for any damage.
• Use only water from the water mains. Use rain water or service water
only if it meets the requirements defined in DIN 1986 and DIN 1988.
• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine
is in a room subject to possible frost hazards, emergency emptying
must be carried out if there is a risk of frost (see the Section "Carrying out emergency emptying“).
6
Operating Instructions
Child Safety
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for
children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
• Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling
electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly supervised during operation and never allow children to play with the
washing machine -there is arisk that they can lockthemselves inside it.
• Ensure that children or small animals do not climb into the washing
machine's drum.
• When disposing of washing machines pull out the mains plug, destroy
the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and dispose of the
plug and remaining cable. This means that playing children cannot
shut themselves in and cannot encounter a potentially lethal hazard.
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.

Operating Instructions
2 Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material!
Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakkaging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable.
• Plastic parts are identified with internationally standardised abbreviations:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packing films.
>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. cushion parts (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.
Disposing of your old appliance!
When you put your unit out of operation one day, please bring it to
your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.
2 Environmental tips
• A pre-wash cycle is not necessary in the case of washing which is not
excessively dirt. This saves detergent, water and time (and is gentle on
the environment.)
• If the indicated load capacities are taken full advantage of, the washing machine is especially efficient.
• For small loads, use only one half to one third of the recommended
detergent quantity.
• Suitable pre-treatment enables marks and limited amounts of dirt to
be removed. You can then wash at a lower temperature.
• Wash slightly to normally dirty cottons with the energy-saving program.
• There is often no need for the softener. Try it once! If you use a drier,
your washing will become soft and fluffy even without a softener.
• In the case of medium to high water hardness (hardness range runs to
upwards, see "Detergent and care agents“), you should use a water
softener. The detergent can then always be metered for hardness
range I (= soft).

What does "UPDATE“ mean?
Your washing machine's washing programs are controlled by software.
New types of textiles or new detergents may require new washing programs in the future. In most cases, the software can be adapted to this.
For further information on the "update“, please consult the Customer
Service. You can also enquire about the costs for an "update“ with your
Customer Service.

Operating Instructions
Before the first wash
0 Perform a washing cycle without washing. Program: t (COTTONS/LI-
NEN) 95 with half the amount of detergent.
This removes residues left over from production on the drum and solution container.
Prepare washing cycle
Sort washing and prepare
• Sort the washing according to the care symbol and type (see "Washing types and care codes").
• Empty all pockets.
• Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
• To prevent damage to the washing and tangled washing: Close zip
fasteners, button bed and pillow covers closed, tie up loose strings
e.g. of aprons.
• Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
• In the case of knitted coloured textiles and also with wool and textiles with jewelry attached: turn inside out.
• Wash small and sensitive items (e.g. baby socks, tights and stockings,
bras etc.) in a washing net, a cushion with a zip fastener or in larger
socks.
• Handle curtains with particular care. Metal rollers or burred, plastic
rollers must be removed or tied into a net or bag. We cannot accept
liability for damage.
• Coloureds and white items must not be washed together in a washing
cycle. This could discolour white washing or turn it grey.
• There is often excess dye in new, coloured items. It is best to wash
such items separately the first time.
• Mix small and large items. This improves the washing effect and the
washing is more favourably distributed during spinning.
• Fluff washing before placing into the washing machine.
• Do not place folded washing into the drum.
• Pay attention to the care instruction "wash separately" and "wash
separately several times".

Operating Instructions
Washing Types and Care Symbols
The care symbols help you chose the correct washing program. The
washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The temperatures shown in the care symbols are the maximum temperatures in
each case.
Cottons
Textiles made of cotton and linen which carry this care symbol are insensitive to mechanical stress and high temperatures. The programm
t (COTTONS/LINEN) is suitable for this type of washing.
Linen
Textiles made of cotton and linen which carry this care symbol are insensitive to mechanical stress The programm t (COTTONS/LINEN) is
suitable for this type of washing.
Easy-care washing
Textiles such as treated cotton, cotton mixed fabrics, viscose and synthetics which carry this care symbol require chemically more gentle
treatment. The program } (EASY CARES) /< (EASY IRON) is suitable
for this type of washing.
Delicates
Textiles such as layered fabrics, micro fabrics, viscose, synthetics and curtains which carry this care symbol require particularly gentle treatment.
The program à (DELICATES) is suitable for this type of washing.
Wool and especially sensitive washing 9ìï
Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk which carry this care symbol are particularly sensitive to mechanical stress. The program
s (WOOLLENS)/P (Hand Wash) is suitable for this type of textile.
Important! Textiles with the care symbol (do not wash!) must not be
washed in washing machines.

Operating Instructions
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 required quantity depends upon:
• extent of soiling of the washing
• on the hardness class of the mains water
• the amount of washing
If the detergent manufacturer does not give any metering quantities
2
for small loads, add a third less for half a load or only half the amount
of detergent for small loads for < (EASY IRON) which is recommended for a full load.
Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent
and conditioner manufacturer.
Water softener
For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards), you
should use softener. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent for hardness class I
(= soft). The responisable water works will provide information on the
local water hardness.
16
Since the water softener is rinsed in before the main detergent (water
2
pre-softening), 80% of the stated quantity of softener shown on the
package is sufficient.
