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.

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.

of the art in washing technology is reached, your machine can be
updated.
