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 tempera-
tures: 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.

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.

Environmental 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 17 Dienstag, Juni 17, 1997 11:59 AM
Preparing the washing cycle
Sorting out and preparing washing
Sort out washing according to the type and care symbol (see "Types
of washing and care symbols").
Empty the pockets.
Remove any metal parts (safety pins, badges).
To prevent washing from getting damaged and forming bundles:
close zips, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, tie up loose straps
such as from aprons.
Turn clothes made from double layer fabric inside out (e.g. anoraks,
sleeping bags).
For knitted coloured fabrics as well as woollens and fabrics with
appliqué: turn inside out.
Put small and delicate items (baby socks, tights) in a washing net or a
pillow case with a zip.
Handle curtains with special care. Remove metal strips or plastic
hooks.
Keep coloureds and whites separately in different washing cycles.
When washing fabrics requiring different wash temperatures always
select the lowest temperature.
New coloured fabric often contains excess dyes. Wash this laundry
separately for the first time.
Mix small and large pieces of washing! This improves the
effectiveness of the wash and the washing is distributed better when
spinning.
Shake out washing before putting it into the machine.
Unfold the washing before putting it into the drum.
Types of washing and care symbols
The care symbols help to choose the correct washing program. The
washing should be sorted according to the type and care symbol.
The temperature specifications in the care symbols are always
maximum specifications.

Preparing the washing cycle
How much washing powder and fabric softener?
The amount to be used depends on
the load:
If the washing powder producer does not make any specifications for
small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads
only use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a
full load.
the degree of soiling of the washing:
For only slightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the
instructions of the washing powder producer and load.
on the degree of hardness of the tap water:
The harder the water, the higher the dosage! You will find the
quantities to use according to water hardness on the washing powder
packaging.
Liquid detergent
Add liquid detergent using the dispenser provided by the detergent
manufacturer. Please follow the instructions on the package.
Using a water softening agent
In areas of hard water, the use of a water softening agent can reduce
the amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturers
recommendations.

Troubleshooting
If the washing results are not satisfactory
If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in
the drum
Insufficient washing powder has been added.
Incorrect washing powder was used.
Special stains were not pretreated.
Program or temperature was not set correctly.
When using modular washing powders the individual components
were not used in the correct ratio.
If there are still grey stains on the washing
Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with
insufficient washing powder.
The temperature selected for the wash was too low.
A frequent cause is that fabric softener especially a concentrated one
has come into contact with the washing. Wash out these types of
stains as fast as possible and use the fabric softener carefully.
If after the final rinse foam is still visible
Modern washing powders can still cause foam in the final rinse cycle.
The washing is nevertheless sufficiently rinsed.
If there are white residues on the washing
These are insoluble contents of modern washing powders. They are
not the result of an insufficient rinse.
Shake out the washing or brush it off. Turn the washing inside before
washing it. Review your choice of powder, possibly use liquid
detergents.
Carrying out an emergency emptying
Warning! Switch off the washing machine before the emergency
1
emptying!
If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water an emergency
emptying must be carried out.
Warning! The water, which flow out of the emergency emptying hose
can be hot. First allow the water to cool down before emergency
emptying!
0 Put down a flat container to catch the water draining out.
33
263740.bk : 263740 Seite 34 Dienstag, Juni 17, 1997 11:59 AM
Troubleshooting
0 Pull down the flap in the left corner of
the base strip and remove it.
0 Release the emergency emptying hose
from its holder.
0 Pull the emergency emptying hose out a
little.
0 Place a container underneath to
catch the water.
0 Release the plugs of the emergency
emptying hose by turning them anti-
clockwise and pull them out.
The water will drain out. Depending on
the amount of water, it may be necessary
to empty the container to catch the
water several times. To do this, temporarily
close the emergency emptying hose again with the plugs.
When the water has drained out completely:
0 Push the plug firmly back into the emergency emptying hose.
0 Push the emergency emptying hose back in a little and let it catch onto
the holder.
0 Replace the flap in the base plate and close it.
When the washing machine is completely empty, the ÖKO lock can no
3
longer function correctly. Therefore before the next wash fill in approx
1 litre water (pour it in through the washing powder compartment).
Cleaning the drain pump
Warning! Switch off the washing machine and pull the plug out of the
1
socket before cleaning the drain pump!
0 First carry out an emergency emptying (see section "Carrying out an
emergency emptying").
0 Place a towel on the floor in front of the lid of the drain pump. Left
over water may flow out.

0 Unscrew the lid of the drain pump by
twisting it anti-clockwise and pull it off.
0 Remove any foreign bodies which may be

0 Check whether the impeller of the pump
can be turned. (It is normal for the pump
to turn in steps.) If the impeller cannot be
turned at all please contact your local
AEG Service Force Centre.
0 Replace the lid (insert the ridges on the
lid into the guiding slots) and screw on
tightly in a clockwise direction.
0 Close the emergency emptying hose, push
it in and fasten it.
0 Close the flap.
Unlocking the door in an emergency
If the door cannot be opened (e.g. due to a faulty door lock or due to a
power cut during the washing program), it can be opened using the
emergency unlock feature.
0 If water can be seen in the window of the door first carry out an
emergency emptying (see section "Carrying out an emergency
emptying").
0 Turn the knob anti-clockwise with the help
of a coin or a screwdriver.

Troubleshooting
Selecting suds cooling or an extra rinse
The washing machine is on a very economical water consumption
setting.
For people who suffer from a washing powder allergy, it may be helpful
to rinse with extra water (extra rinse cycle). This can be set with the
extra water switch:
Position 1: Suds cooling
The suds are cooled down before being pumped out at the end of the
main wash (by adding cold water). This reduces thermal shock to
fabrics, helping to prevent creasing. (This setting is only effective for
COTTONS/LINEN at a temperature of above 40 °C.)
Position 2: Suds cooling and extra rinse
The water is cooled down as for position 1, in addition to this (except
for WOOLLENS) an extra rinse cycle is carried out.
On delivery of the machine the extra water switch is in the 0 position.
Due to the process of cooling down the suds or an extra rinse cycle, the
3
water consumption and wash time is increased.
Setting:
0 Pull the washing powder compartment out until
the extra water switch on the left of the frame is
accessible.
0 Set the extra water switch to 1 (suds cooling) or 2
(suds cooling and extra rinse).
