1 Safety instructions
The safety standards of AEG electric appliances are in keeping with the recognised rules of technology and the law governing the safety of appliances. Nevertheless as a manufacturer we are committed to familiarise you with the following safety instructions:
General safety
•Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified personnel. As a result of incorrect repairs considerable dangers for the user may result. Please contact our customer service department or an authorised AEG dealer in the event of repairs being necessary.
•Never start the washing machine if the mains flex is damaged or the control panel, work top or base area are so damaged that the inside of the washing machine is accessible.
•Switch off the washing machine before carrying out any cleaning, care and maintenance work! You can make totally sure by pulling the mains plug out of the socket or by switching off the fuse switch in the fuse box.
•Never use the flex to pull the plug out of the socket but pull the actual plug.
•Do not spray the washing machine with water.
•During washing programs at a high temperature, the glass of the door heats up. Do not touch!
•Allow the water to cool down before cleaning the drain pump, emergency emptying or opening the door in an emergency.
•Small animals can nibble at power cables and water hoses. Electric shock hazard and danger of damages from water!
Installation, connection and initial operation
•Please follow the separate Installation and connection instructions.
•If the machine is delivered during the winter at freezing temperatures: store the washing machine for 24 hours at room temperature before starting it.
•Run the first washing cycle without washing (COTTONS 95, with half the amount of washing powder) to remove residues from the drum wich may have been left during manufacture.

Safety instructions
Safety of children
•Often children are not aware of the dangers involved in handling electrical equipment. Therefore please ensure they are adequately supervised whilst the appliance is on and do not allow children to play with the washing machine – there is a risk that the children may lock themselves in the appliance.
•Packaging (e.g. plastic films, polystyrene) could be dangerous for children – danger of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
•Please make sure that children or small animals do not climb into the drum of the washing machine.
•When disposing of the washing machine pull out the plug, cut off the flex, dispose of the plug and remaining flex and destroy the door lock. This hinders children from locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Intended use
•Only use the washing machine to wash normal domestic washing. If the washing machine is used for any other purpose or is incorrectly used, the manufacturer adopts no liability for any damages which may result.
•Conversions or changes to washing machines are not permitted due to safety reasons.
•Only use washing powder which is suitable for washing machines. Please follow the instructions of the washing powder manufacturers.
•The washing may not contain any flammable solvents.
Please observe this above all when washing prewashed laundry.
•Do not use your washing machine for dry cleaning.
•Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if specifically permitted by the manufacturer of these products. We cannot be held liable for any damages.
•Installation must comply with local water authority and building regulations requirements.

2 Disposal
Dispose of the packaging!
Dispose of the packaging material of your washing machine correctly. All packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any danger or burnt in the refuse incinerator. The plastic parts can be reused:
•The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of polyethylene (marking >PE<).
•The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene (marking >PS<).
When disposing of the washing machine, cut off the mains cable, and destroy the plug. Disable any door catches to prevent young children being wrapped inside.
Use an authorised disposal site.
2Environmental tips
•For normally soiled washing you do not need a prewash. In this way you can save washing powder, water and time (and not pollute the environment!).
•The washing machine works particularly economically if you exploit the maximum loads.
•For small quantities of washing use half to two thirds of the recommended washing powder quantity.
•By suitable pretreatment stains and a certain amount of dirt can be removed. Then you can wash at a low temperature.
•Wash slightly soiled to normally soiled cottons with the energy saving program.
•Often you do not need a fabric softener. Just try it! If you use a tumble dryer your washing will become soft and fluffy without softener.

263740.bk : 263740 Seite 8 Dienstag, Juni 17, 1997 11:59 AM
Important features of your appliance
•Program and temperature setting using the program selector.
•4 extra programs selectable with buttons.
•Stain program for effectively treating stained washing.
•Energy saving program for slightly soiled to normally soiled cottons.
•Maximum Spin speed 1200 revolutions per minute, speed for the
final spin automatically adapted depending on the washing program:
–COTTONS/LINEN |
1200 revolutions per minute |
–EASY CARES |
1000 revolutions per minute |
–DELICATES |
1000 revolutions per minute |
–WOOLLENS |
1000 revolutions per minute |
•Speed for the final spin can be changed to 1000, 800, 600 or 400 revolutions per minute.
•Rinse hold can be added: the washing remains in the final rinse water, it is not spun.
•Delay timer: program start can be delayed by 1 to max. 19 hours (e.g. to times with a more economical power rate).
•Multi-display to show
–estimated program duration or time left until the end of the program,
–delay timer (start time delay or time left to start of program), –error code.
•Program progress display
•Automatic load adaptation with fuzzy logic: sensor controlled washing process with variable number of rinse cycles, water quantity dependent on foam and load, controlled spin etc, thus best washing and rinsing results with the lowest automatically adapted water consumption.
•4-chamber detergent compartment for washing powder and fabric softener: temporally delayed addition of softener, washing powder and stain removing agent enables environmentally friendly washing and improves the effectiveness of the detergents.
•ÖKO lock: The Öko lock ensures 100% effective detergent usage. The Öko valve closes off the wash tub from the drainage system during all wash programmes.
•Scoop ribs in the washing machine drum: ensure washing is wet fast and equally.
•Anti-unbalance control system: for stability and smooth running.

Important features of your appliance
•Extra water switch: suds cooling only or suds cooling with extra rinse can be set.
What does "update" mean?
The control system of your machine is fully electronic. The software which determines this control system can be reprogrammed. If a state of the art in washing technology is reached, your machine can be updated.
