Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety
The safety features of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, we also consider it our obligation as a manufacturer to inform you about the following safety information.
Prior to initial start-up
•Observe the"Installation and Connection Instructions" in this instruction book.
•If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing: Store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.
Intended Use
•The washing machine is only intended for washing normal domestic washing. If the appliance is used for any other purpose or incorrectly operated, the manufacturer accepts no liability for any damages which may result.
•It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way.
•Only use detergents which are suitable for automatic washing machines, and follow the recommendations of the detergent manufacturer.
•Garments which have been in contact with flammable solvents should not be washed. Also bear this in mind when washing precleaned washing.
•Do not use the 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.
•This appliance must be connected to the cold water supply only.
•Damage due to frost is not covered by the guarantee. If the washing machine is located in a room in which below freezing temperatures may occur, emergency emptying must be carried out (see "carrying out an emergency emptying“).

Operating Instructions
Child Safety
•Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging well away from children.
•This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.
•Pets and children have been known to climb into washing machines. Please check the drum before use.
•When disposing of the appliance, cut off the mains cable, and destroy the plug. Disable the door lock to prevent young children being trapped inside.
General Safety
•Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.
•Never operate the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the control panel, work top or base area are damaged allowing internal components to be accessible.
•Switch off the appliance and isolate from the mains supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.
•Do not use the mains cable to pull the plug out of the socket.
•Adapters and extension cables must not be used. There is a danger of overheating!
•Do not clean the washing machine with a water jet. There is a danger of electrical shock!
•During high temperature wash programmes, the glass of the door may become hot. Do not touch!
•Allow the water to cool down before cleaning the drain pump, carrying out emergency emptying or opening the door in an emergency.
•Small animals/pets can chew on power cables and water hoses. This can cause the danger of an electrical shock to the animal and water damage to the appliance and property. Keep small animals away from the appliance.

Operating Instructions
2 Disposal
Packaging
Dispose of the packaging material correctly. All packaging materials used are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any danger to the environment.
• Plastic parts can be recycled and are identified as follows:
>PE< |
for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in |
|
the interior. |
||
|
||
>PS< |
for polystyrene, e.g. padding (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.
When disposing of the washing machine!
Cut off the mains cable and destroy the plug. Disable the door catch to prevent young children becoming trapped inside. Use an authorised disposal site.
2 Environmental tips
To save water and energy, and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips.
•Do not use a pre-wash for normally soiled washing.
•It is more economical to wash full loads.
•When washing small loads, reduce the detergent by half to two thirds.
•Pre-treat stains, and then wash at a lower temperature.
•Use the energy-saving program when washing light to normally soiled garments.
•In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent can reduce the amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturers recommendations.

1)Note: The selected program is tested in accordance with EN 60 456. The consumption values, however, can deviate depending on the following: water pressure, water hardness, water inlet temperature, room temperature, washing type and quantity, the detergent used, fluctuations in the mains voltage and the selected program options.
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 further improvement to washing technology is introduced your machine can be updated.
The cost of the update will be advised at the time of the request. For further information regarding this please contact the AEG Customer Care Department.
13
Operating Instructions
Before the first wash
0Run a washing cycle without washing (COTTONS 95, with half the amount of detergent).
This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left during manufacturing.
Preparing a Wash Load
Sorting and preparing a wash load
•Sort washing according to the care symbol and type (see "Washing types and care symbols").
•Empty all pockets.
•Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
•In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing, close zippers, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, and tie up loose straps such as from aprons.
•Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks etc.).
•Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and fabrics with appliqués should be turned inside out.
•Place small and delicate items (e.g. socks, tights and stockings, bras etc.) in a washing net, or pillow case.
•Handle curtains with care. Metal rollers or burred, plastic rollers must be removed or tied into a net or bag. We cannot accept liability for damage.
•Do not wash coloured and white washing together. This could discolour white washing or turn it grey.
•New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these separately the first time.
•Mix small and large items of washing. This improves washing efficiency and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spinning cycle.
•Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.
•Do not place folded washing into the drum.
•Observe tips such as "wash separately“ and "wash separately several times".

Operating Instructions
Detergents and Conditioners
Which detergent and conditioner?
Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in automatic washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
How much detergent and conditioner?
The required quantity depends upon:
•the extent of soiling of the washing
•the hardness class of the mains water
•the amount of washing
2 Should the detergent manufacturer not specify the dosage quantity for less than full loads, reduce the detergent accordingly: For a half load reduce the quantity by 1/3. For a small load or an EASY IRON program reduce the quantity by 1/2.
Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent and conditioner manufacturer.
Water softening
For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards) a water softening agent can be used. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then always add the appropriate amount of detergent (underdosing) for hardness class I (soft). Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
