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 a riskthat theycan lockthemselves insideit.

• 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).

on the washing habits and ambient conditions
at the installation location. E. g. the washing
type, washing quantity, type of detergent, wa­ter temperature and room temperature etc.
can influence the duration of the washing program.
The washing machine saves from each program the running times of
the last wash cycles and calculates from them the average running time
for a washing cycle. This average running time is shown by the Multi­display during the next wash.
After several washes, the running time shown in the multi display is
thereby adapted to the usual washing practice and the ambient condi­tions at the installation location.

Operating Instructions

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.

Anti-flood system Aqua Control +
Aqua Alarm

In the event of damage to the supply hose, the system blocks the fur­ther supply of water to the unit directly st the water tap.
If water escapes at another point, the drainage pump pumps the water
off automatically - even if the unit is switched on. It is merely neces­sary for the washing machine to be connected to the mains. If the anti­flood system responds, a warning signal sounds at the same time.

14

Operating Instructions

Before the first wash

0 Perform a washing cycle without washing. Program: t (COTTONS/LI-

NEN) 95 with half the amount of 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 "Wash­ing 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 tex­tiles 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.

• Do not place folded washing into the drum.

• Pay attention to the care instruction "wash separately" and "wash

separately several times".

Operating Instructions

Washing Types and Care Symbols

The care symbols help you to choose the right washing program. The
washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The tem­peratures shown in the care symbols are maximum values.

Cottons ç

Textiles made of cotton and linen and which have this care symbol are
insensitive to mechanical stress and high temperatures. The program
t (COTTONS/LINEN) is suitable for this type of washing.

Cottons èë

Textiles made of cotton and linen and which have this care symbol are
insensitive to mechanical stress. The program t (COTTONS/LINEN) is
suitable for this type of washing.

Easy cares êí

Textiles such as treated cotton, cotton mixed fabrics, viscose and syn­thetics with these are symbols require mechanically more gentle treat­ment. The program } (EASY CARES)/< (EASY IRON) is suitable for
this type of washing.

Delicates ì

Textiles such as layered fibres, micro-fibres, viscose, synthetics and cur­tains which have this care symbol require particularly gentle treatment.
The program à (DELICATES) is suitable for this type of washing.

16

Woollens, silk and especially sensitive washing 9ìï

Textiles such as woollens, wool mixtures and silk with this care symbol
are particularly sensitive to mechanical stress. The programs
s (WOOLLENS)/P (HAND WASH) and (SILK) are suitable for tex­tiles of this type.

Caution! Textiles with the care symbol ñ (Do not wash!) must not be
washed in the washing machine.

Operating Instructions

Detergents and care agents

Which detergent and care agent?

Use only detergents and care agents which are suitable for use in wash­ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

How much detergent and care agent?

The required quantity depends upon:

• extent of soiling of the washing

• on the hardness class of the mains water

• the amount of washing

If the detergent manufacturer does not give any metering quantities

2

for small loads, add a third less for half a load or only half the amount
of detergent for small loads for < (EASY IRON) which is recommen­ded for a full load.
Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent
and conditioner manufacturer.

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.

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.

Operating Instructions

If the washing results are not satisfactory

If the washing has turned grey and if limescale is deposited in the
drum, then

• Too little detergent was used.

• The wrong detergent was used.

• Special soiling was not pre-treated.

• Program or temperature not set correctly.

• If multi-component detergents are used, the individual components

were not used in the correct ratio.

If there are still grey spots on the washing,

• Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with too
little detergent.

• Too lower temperature was used for washing.

• A frequent cause is that softener - particularly that in concentrated

form - has reached the washing. Wash out such spots quickly and use
the softener concerned carefully.

If at the end of the last rinse foam is still visible

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

If there are white remnants on the washing

• These are insoluble components of modern detergents. They are not
the result of an insufficient rinsing effect.
Shake or brush out the washing. In future, perhaps you should turn
the washing inside out before washing it. Examine your choice of de­tergent and if necessary use liquid detergent.

Installation Safety Precautions

• Do not tilt the washing machine onto its front or onto its right side

(viewed from the front). Electronic components can get wet.

• Check the washing machine for transport damages. A damaged unit

must never be put into operation under any circumstances. In the
event of damage, please contact your supplier.

• Ensure that all parts of the transport safeguard are removed and that

the unit is splash protected, see "Removing transport safeguard".
Otherwise, the units or neighbouring furniture can be damaged when
spinning.

• Always insert the plug into a correctly installed earthed socket.

• In the case of permanent connection: A permanent connection may

only be made by an authorised specialist.

• Before putting the machine into operation, ensure that the mains

voltage and current type shown on the unit's rating plate correspond
with those at the place where the machine is being installed. The fuse
rating is also found on the rating plate.

• The mains lead may only be replaced by the customer service or by an

authorised electrician.

Installation and connection instructions

Installation of the appliance

Washing machines with curved panels are not suitable for installing

3

under units.

Transporting the appliance

• Do not place the washing machine on its front or on its right side

(viewed from the front). Otherwise, electrical components can get
wet.

• Never transport the unit without the transport safeguard. Do not re-

move the transport safeguard until the appliance is at the installation
location. Transporting the unit without the transport safeguard can
damage it.

• Lift the appliance neither by an open filling door nor by the base.

When transporting the unit with a sack trolley:

• Attach the sack trolley only at the side. The sack trolley shovel must

not be longer than 24 cm, otherwise the float switch can be de­stroyed.

Remove transportation protection

Important! It is essential to re-

move the transport safeguard be­fore putting the unit into
operation. Keep all parts of the
transport safeguard in a safe
place for possible later transport
(moving).

0 1. Open both hose holders on the

unit's rear side and remove the
hoses and mains cable.

43

Installation and connection instructions

2. Pull both hose holders off the
unit with a strong pull.

The special key E and the caps D

3

(2 each) and G (1 each) are sup­plied with it.

3. Unscrew the two screws with the
special spanner.

4. Unscrew the 4 screws B with spe­cial spanner E.

5. Remove the transport rail C.

6. Screw the 4 screws B back in.

7. Close the 2 large holes with the

caps D.
Important! Press in the caps with

sufficient strength so that they
engage in the rear panel (protects
the inside of the units against
splash water).

8. Remove the screw F, including the
compression spring, with the spe­cial spanner E.

9. Close the hole with the cap G.
Important! Press in the cap with

sufficient strength so that it en­gages in the rear panel (protects
the inside of the unit against
splash water).

44

Installation and connection instructions

Prepare the installation place

• The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor polish

residues and other greasy coatings so that the unit does not slip
away. Do not use lubricants as a sliding aid.

• Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs

is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is
then no longer ensured.

• By installation surfaces with small-format tiles, lay a conventional

rubber mat underneath.

• Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by

laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but rather should al­ways be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet.

• If, for space reasons, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit di-

rectly next to a gas or coal-fired cooker: install a thermal insulation
panel between the cooker and washing machine (85 x 57cm) which
must have an aluminium film on the side against the cooker.

• The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there is a

danger of frost. Frost hazard!

• Flexible feed and drain tubings may not be crinkled or squeezed.

Installation on a concrete base

If the unit is set up on a concrete base,
for safety reasons it is essential to fit
stand plates in which the washing ma­chine is adjusted. The stand plates are
available from Customer Service under
the spare parts number 645 425 058.

Installation on vibrating floors

Where the floor vibrates, particularly in the case of wooden beam
floors with pliable boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden
panel at least 15mm thick onto at least 2 floor planks. If possible, set up
the unit in the corner of a room, as the wooden floor is optimally re­strained there and is therefore least likely to be subject to resonance vi­brations.

45

Installation and connection instructions

Compensate for floor unevenness

Automatic adjustment foot: The rear left foot of your washing ma-

3

chine is designed as a spring leg. This means that it guarantees that
your unit will stand securely even at high spin speeds.

If, nevertheless, the washing machine is unstable during spinning,
please proceed as follows:

0 1. Set the three adjusted feet at the

nominal value of 10 mm. To do
this, use the supplied special
spanner to remove the transport
safeguard.

If the automatically adjusting
foot does not reach the floor:

2. Automatic adjustment foot (rear
left) manually for extending the
reqired dimension.

3. If necessary, check the setting
with a spirit level.

Caution! Never use wood, card or
similar underlays to level out minor
floor unevenness. Instead, always adjust
the adjustment foot.

46

Installation and connection instructions

Electrical connection

Details of the mains voltage, current
type and required fuses can be
found on the rating plate. The ra­ting plate is located at the top
above the filling door.

For permanent electrical connection
within the electrical circuit, provi­sions must be made which allow for electrical disconnection of the ap­pliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least 3 mm at all
poles. Suitable devices include circuit breakers, fuses (threaded fuses
must be entirely removed from the socket), ground fault circuit inter­rupters and contactors. Permanent connection may only be carried out
by an authorised electrician.

This appliance complies with the following EC directives:

;

– The "Low Voltage Directive" 72/23/EU with changes
– The "EMC Directive" 89/336/EU with changes

Water connection

The washing machine has safety features which prevent back-contami-

3

nation of the drinking water and which conform to the national regu­lations of the water authorities (e.g. for Germany: DVGW guidelines).
This means that additional protective measures in the installation are
not necessary.

Important!

– Units for connecting to cold water must not be connected to hot wa-

ter.

– Use only new hose sets for the connection.

Permissible water pressure

The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (= 10 N/cm2 = 0.1 Mpa), max­imum 10 bar = 100 N/cm

• If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure-reduction valve upstream.

• If less than 1 bar: Unscrew the inlet hose on the unit side at the sole-

noid intake valve and remove the flow regulator (to do this, remove
the filter with pointed pliers and take out the rubber washer behind).
Replace the filter.

2

= 1 Mpa).

47

Installation and connection instructions

Water inflow

A pressure hose 1.5m in length is supplied.
If a longer inflow hose is required, only a VDE-approved, complete set
of hoses with fitted hose screw connections offered by our Customer
Service is permissible.
– Hose sets in lengths of 2.2m, 3.5m and 5m are available for washing

machines without Aqua-Control.

– Hose sets in lengths of 2.0 m, 2.9m and 3.9m are available for wash-

ing machines with Aqua-Control.

Caution! Never cut into pieces in order to extend the hoses!

Sealing rings are supplied either in the plastic

3

nuts of the hose screw connection or in the enc­losed pack. Do not use other seals!

0 1. Connect the hose with the angled connection to

the machine.

Caution!

– Do not lay the infeed hose ver-

tically downwards. Instead, turn
it to the right or left as shown
in the diagram.

– Tighten the hose connection

only by hand.

2. Connect the hose with the straight connection
to a water tap with a R 3/4 (inch) screw thread.
Caution! Only tighten the screw connection ma­nually.

3. By slowly opening the water tap before putting
the washing machine into operation, check that
the connection is free of leaks.

48

Installation and connection instructions

Water drain

The drainage hose can either be connected to a siphon or hung in a
wash basin or discharge basin or a bath tub.

Only original hoses may be used for extensions (max. 3m laid on the
floor and then up to 80cm high). Customer Service stocks drainage
hoses in lengths of 2.7 and 4m.

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

Water drain-off inside a siphon

The grommet on the hose end fits all
standard siphon types.

0 Secure the connection between the

grommet and siphon with a hose clamp.

Water drain-off inside a basin
Important!

– Small basins are not suitable for

drainage. Water could overflow!

– The end of the drainage hose must not

be submerged in the pumped-out wa­ter. Otherwise, the water could be
sucked back into the unit.

– When hanging in a wash basin or a

bath tub, the drainage hose must be
secured with the supplied attachable
bend to prevent it slipping. The back­surge force of the escaping water
could otherwise force the hose out of
the basin.

0 Tie the bend to the tap or the wall using

a piece of string.

Delivery heads over 1m

To pump off the washing / rinsing solution, every washing machine has
a drain pump which carries liquids up to a height of 1m via the drain­age hose, calculated from the machine's standing surface.

Please contact Customer Service for delivery heads of over 1m.

Service

In the chapter "What to do if...“ , some faults are listed which you can
remedy yourself. Look there first if a fault occurs. If you do not find any
information there, please consult your Customer Service. (You can find
the addresses and telephone numbers in the section "Customer Service
Centres“.)

Always prepare in advance for the discussion. By doing so you will sim­plify the diagnosis and the decision on whether customer service is
necessary.

Note the PNC number and S. num­ber. You will find both on the rating
plate on the inside of the door of
your washing machine.

PNC .....................................................

S. No. .....................................................

Answer as precisely as possible:

• What form does the fault take?

• Under what circumstances does the fault occur?

• Does the multi display show an error message?

Service

When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?

– If you could have remedied the fault yourself with the aid of the fault

table (see the section "What to do if..."),

– If several journeys by the customer service technician are necessary

because for example he did not receive all the important information
before his visit and must collect spare parts. These multiple trips can
be avoided if you prepare your phone call as described above.
