the interior.
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.

spin).
STARCHING
Separate starching, separate conditioning, separate impregnating of
damp washing (1 rinse cycle, liquid conditioner from the compartment
æ is rinsed in, spin).
DRAIN
Draining the water following a rinse hold (without spinning).
Rinse hold means: The washing remains in the final rinse water and is

Operating Instructions
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 by AEG then
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.
Before the first wash
0 Run 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.

Operating Instructions
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 discol-
our white washing or turn it grey.
• New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these sep-
arately the first time.
• Mix small and large items of washing. This improves washing effi-
ciency 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
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
If the manufacturer does not indicate the amounts to use for smaller
2
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.
