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<

>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.

for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in
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.

hand-washable wool textiles and silk with the ï care label (hand­wash).

GENTLE RINSE

Separate gentle rinse, e.g. for rinsing hand-washed textiles (2 rinse cy­cles, liquid conditioner from the compartment æ is rinsed in, gentle
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

3

not spun.

spinning of hand-washed cottons/ linen.

11

Operating Instructions

SHORT SPIN

Draining the water following a rinse hold and gentle spinning or sepa­rate spinning of delicate textiles (easy-care washing, delicates, wool).

Additional programme buttons

The additional programme buttons are used to ad­just the wash programme to the degree of soiling of
the washing. Additional programmes are not neces­sary for washing that is soiled to a normal degree.
Various functions can be combined depending on
the programme.

PRE WASH

Cold pre wash before the main wash cycle which
follows automatically; with intermediate spinning
for COTTONS/LINEN and EASY-CARE, without inter­mediate spinning for DELICATES.

SOAKING

Approx. 1 hour at 30 °C or 40 °C, according to the programme set. Can
be increased to a maximum of 19 hours using the DELAY TIMER button.
The main wash cycle follows automatically.

QUICK WASH

Shortened main wash cycle for lightly soiled washing.

12

STAIN

For treating heavily soiled washing or stained washing. (Stain salt is
rinsed in at an optimal time in the cycle.)

If the WOOL/SILK P (hand-wash) setting is used the additional pro-

3

grammes cannot be selected (buttons that have been pressed have no
effect).

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.

14

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".

of washing.

Easy-Cares êí

Materials such as fine cotton, wool-blend fabrics, viscose, and synthet­ics with these care symbols require gentler treatment. The EASY-CARES/
EASY IRON programmes are suitable for this type of washing.

Delicatesì

Materials such as layered fibres, microfibres, viscose, synthetics, and net
curtains with this care symbol require particularly careful treatment.
The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of washing.

16

Wool/silk and especially sensitive materials 9ìï

Woollens, wool blends and silk with these care symbols are particularly
sensitive to machine washing. The WOOL/SILK P (Handwash) pro­gramme is suitable for this type of washing.

Important! Materials with the care symbol ñ (Not machine-washa-
ble!) should not be washed in the washing machine.

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.

Operating Instructions

If the washing results are not satisfactory

If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in
the drum

• Insufficient detergent has been added.

• Incorrect detergent was used.

• Stains were not pre-treated.

• Programme or temperature was not set correctly.

• If using modular detergents, the individual components were not

used in the correct ratio.

If there are still grey stains on the washing

• Soiled garments with ointments, grease or oils were washed with in­sufficient detergent.

• The temperature selected for the wash was too low.

• A frequent cause is that fabric softener - particularly a concentrated

one - has come into contact with the washing. Wash out these types
of stains as soon as possible and use the fabric softener carefully.

If after the last rinse foam is still visible

• Modern detergents can still cause foam in the final rinse cycle. How­ever, the washing is still sufficiently rinsed.

If there are white residues on the washing

• These are insoluble contents of modern detergents. They are not the
result of an insufficient rinse. Shake out the washing or brush it off.
Turn the washing inside out before washing it. Review your choice of
detergent and if necessary use liquid detergent.

Installation and connection instructions

Installation on a Suspended Floor

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To
help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood
panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least
2 floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the
corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Levelling the Appliance

Floor unevenness can be compensated for and the height can be cor­rected with the four adjustable screw feet. The height can be adjusted
in a range of +10 ... -5 mm.

To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied.

0 1. Slide the special key firmly onto

the hexagon head of the
threaded foot as far as it will go.

2. Adjust the screw feet so that the
appliance is horizontal and stable.

3. Check that the appliance is level
using a spirit level.

Water Drainage

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia­gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.

Important! It is essential to lay
the drainage hose without kinks.

When discharging into a stand­pipe ensure that the top of the
curve in the hose end is no more
than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less
than 60 cm (23.6’’) above floor
level.

50

The upright standpipe should
have a minimum, length of
30 cm (12’’) from the bottom of
the elbow to the top of the pipe
(see diagram). Make sure that it is
designed in such a way that the
end of the drain hose cannot be
covered with water.
Longer drain hoses are available
in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres
from your AEG Service Force
Centre.

Installation and connection instructions

If you intend the drain hose from
the washing machine to empty
into a sink, make sure that the
sink is empty and the plug hose
is not blocked. Use the plastic
“U-Piece“ supplied.

Important! The end of the
drainage hose must not be
submerged in the pumped-out
water. Otherwise, the water
could be sucked back into the ap­pliance.

Pump head of greater than 1m

Every washing machine includes a wash water pump for the removal of
wash and rinse water, which can pump fluids through the outlet hose
up to a height of 1m, measured from the surface on which the machine
