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 washing machines may only be carried out by skilled
persons. Improper repairs can cause significant hazards for the user.
If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer service or
your dealer.
• Never put the washing machine into operation if the mains cable is
damaged or if the control panel, work top or base area is damaged in
such a way that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.
• Before cleaning, care and maintenance work, switch off the washing
machine. Also, pull the mains plug out of the socket, or - in the case
of permanent connection - switch off the LS switch in the fuse box
or completely unscrew the screw-in fuse.
• Never pull the mains plug out of the socket by the cable. Always use
the plug.
• Multiple connectors, couplings and extension cables must not be
used. Fire hazard through overheating!
• Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Danger of
electrical shock!
• The glass in the filling door become hot when high-temperature
washing programmes are used. Do not touch!
• Allow the washing solution to cool down before performing and
emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the solution
pump or before an emergency opening of the filling door.
• Small animals can chew on power cables and water hoses. This can
cause a danger of electric shock and water damage. Keep small
animals away from washing machines.

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
1. Pull out the washing powder drawer slightly.
2. Pour about 1 litre of water through the washing powder drawer into
the washing machine. With the next program start, this will close the
solution container and the eco-sluice can function correctly.
3. Run the washing cycle without washing (COTTONS/ LINEN 95 °C, with
half the amount of washing 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 "Wash-
ing 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 tex-
tiles 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.
14
Operating Instructions
• Do not place folded washing into the drum.
• Pay attention to the care instruction "wash separately" and "wash
separately several times".
Washing Types and Care Codes
The care codes help you choose the correct washing program.
The washing should be sorted according to type and care code.
The temperatures stated in the care codes are all maximum values.
Cottons ç
Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care code are insensitive to
mechanical stress and high temperatures. The program COTTONS/LINEN
is suitable for this type of washing.
Linen èë
Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care code are insensitive to
mechanical stresses. The program COTTONS/LINEN is suitable for this
type of washing.
Easy-Care Garments êí
Textiles such as finished cottons, cotton mixtures, viscose and synthetics with this care code require mechanically more mild treatment. The
program EASY-CARES/EASY IRON is suitable for this type of washing.
Delicates ì
Textiles such as layered fibres, microfibres, viscose, synthetics and curtains with this care code require very gentle treatment.
The program DELICATES is suitable for this type of washing.
Wool and Very Sensitive Washing 9 ìï
Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with this care code are
especially sensitive to mechanical stresses.
The program WOOL/P (Handwash) is suitable for this type of textiles.
Attention! Textiles with the care codeñ (Do not wash!) must not be
washed in the washing machine!

Operating Instructions
Washing Detergents and Care Agents
Which washing detergent and care agent?
Use only washing detergents and care agents which are suitable for use
in washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
How much washing 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 filling quantity
If the detergent manufacturer gives no details of the dosing quantities
2
for minimum loads, add one third less for half loads and, in the case of
very small loads and for EASY IRON, only half the amount of detergent
recommended for a full load.
Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's instructions on use
and dosage.
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.
