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 washing machines 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.
•If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and shut off the tap.
•Do not use the mains cable to remove the plug from the socket. Always pull the plug itself.
•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 electric 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 lead to the risk of electric shock 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 programme 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.

Operating Instructions
Before the First Wash
01. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer out slightly.
2.Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent dispenser drawer into the washing machine. The next time a programme is started the solution container will be closed and the ECO valve can function correctly.
3.Carry out a washing cycle without any washing laundry (COTTONS 95, using half the usual quantity of washing detergent). This removes any residues from the drum and solution container 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.

Operating Instructions
•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".
Washing Types and Care Symbols
The care symbols help you chose the correct washing programme. Washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The temperatures indicated in the care symbols are the maximum temperatures.
Cottons ç
Fabrics made from cotton and linen with this care symbol will withstand maximum wash actions and high temperatures. The COTTONS / LINEN programme is appropriate for this type of washing.
Linen è ë
Fabrics made of cotton and linen which carry this care symbol will withstand maximum wash actions. The COTTONS / LINEN programme is appropriate for this type of washing.
Easy-cares ê í
Fabrics such as treated cotton, cotton mixed fabrics, viscose and synthetics which carry this care symbol need a softer wash action. The EASY CARES / EASY IRON programme is appropriate for this type of washing.
Delicates ì
Fabrics such as those with layered fibres, micro fibres, viscose, synthetics, as well as curtains with this care symbol require particularly careful handling. The DELICATES programme is appropriate for this type of washing.
Wool and particularly sensitive washing 9 ì ï
Fabrics such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with this care symbol require a very gentle wash cycle. The WOOL /P(hand wash) programme is suitable for this type of washing.
Important! Fabrics with this care symbol ñ(do not wash!) must not be washed in washing machines.

Operating Instructions
Detergent and Conditioners
Which detergent and conditioners?
Only use detergents and conditioners that are suitable for use in washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Quantities of detergent and conditioners?
The quantity to be used will depend on:
•degree of soiling of the washing
•degree of hardness of the water supply
•load
2 If the manufacturer does not indicate the amounts to use for smaller loads, for half-loads use a third less than the amount recommended for a full load, and for smaller loads and EASY IRON use half the amount recommended for a full load.
Please follow the detergent and conditioner manufacturers’ instructions for use and dosing recommendations.
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.
