Instructions for use

1 Safety

The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to the recognised technical regulations and the legislation covering the safety of appliances. However, as manufacturers, we still regard it as our responsibility to inform you of the following safety information.

Before Putting into Operation for the First Time

• Refer to the ”Installation and Connection Instructions” later in this

user information.

• When the unit is delivered in winter months with minus tempera-

tures: Store the washing machine for 24 hours at room temperature before putting it into operation.

Correct Use

• The washing machine is only designed for normal domestic washing.

If the unit is used for purposes other than that for which it is designed, the manufacturer can accept no liability for any resulting damages.

• For safety reasons, conversions or modifications to the washing ma-

chine are not permissible.

• Use only detergents which are suitable for washing machines. Follow

the washing detergent manufacturer's instructions.

• The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also remem-

ber this when washing pre-cleaned washing.

• Do not use the washing machine for chemical cleaning.

• Dyes/dye removers may only be used in washing machines if the

manufacturer expressly allows these products. We cannot be held liable for any resulting damage.

• Use only water from the water mains. Use rainwater or service water

only if it meets the requirements outlined in DIN1986 and DIN1988.

• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine

is in a room which is at risk from frost, an emergency emptying operation must be carried out when there is a frost risk (see the section ”Carry Out Emergency Emptying”).

Instructions for use

Child Safety

• Packaging components (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be hazardous to

children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.

• Children often cannot recognise the hazards associated with handling

electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure the necessary supervision during operation and do not allow children to play with the washing machine – there is a risk that children can get trapped inside.

• Ensure that children or small animals cannot climb into the washing

machine's drum.

• When disposing of the washing machine: Pull out the mains plug, de-

stroy the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and throw away the plug and the left-over cable. This means that children at play cannot shut themselves inside and in so doing be in danger.

General Safety

• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by skilled

persons. Incorrect repairs can cause significant hazards. If repairs are necessary, consult our Customer Service or your specialist dealer.

• Never put the washing machine into operation if the mains cable is

damaged or if the control panel, work top or base area are damaged in such a way that the inside of the unit is open and accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine before carrying out cleaning, care

and maintenance work. Also pull the mains plug out of the socket or, – if it is permanently connected, – switch off the LS switch in the fuse box or completely unscrew the screw-in fuse.

• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-

ply and shut off the tap.

• Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the socket. Always pull

the plug itself.

• Multiple connectors, couplings and extension cables must not be

used. There is a fire risk with overheating!

• Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Electric

shock risk!

• The glass in the filling door becomes hot in the case of washing pro-

grams with high temperatures. Do not touch!

• Allow the washing solution to cool down before emergency emptying

of the unit, before cleaning or before emergency opening of the filling door.

Instructions for use

• Small animals can chew the power cables and water hoses. Risk of

electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away from the washing machine.

2 Disposal

Dispose the packing material!

Dispose of your washing machine's packaging correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled.

• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material

>PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (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.

Dispose the old appliance!

When you finally put your appliance out of operation, please bring it to your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.

2 Environmental Tips

• You do not need to use a pre wash cycle or soak for washing with av-

erage soiling. This saves detergent, water and time (and protects the environment).

• When loaded to the capacities indicated the washing machine is es-

pecially efficient.

• For small loads, use only one half to two thirds of the recommended

quantity of detergent.

• By pre-treating stains and marks you will be able to wash at a lower

temperature.

• It is often possible to wash without using softener. Give it a try! If

you use a drier, your washing will be soft and fluffy even without a softener.

• For medium to high water hardness (from hardness range II, see “De-

tergents and Conditioners”) you should use water softener. The detergent can then always be dosed as for hardness range I (= soft).

Instructions for use

COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARE (WITTE/BONTE WAS, BLANC/COULEURS, KREUKHERSTELLEND, DEFROISSABLE)

Wash programme from 20 °C to95 °C can be used universally for cotton/linen, easy-care (e.g. cotton/polyester) and synthetics. The washing programme adapts itself to the various types of types of weaves and amount of filling. For mostly cotton/linen, the programme for cotton/ linen will be carriedout; for mostly synthetics, a programme for easycare washing. For purely easy-care loading, the amount of filling should not exceed 2.5 kg in order to prevent increased creasing build-up.

RINSING (SPOELEN, RINCAGE)

Separate rinse, separate Conditioning, separate impregnation of wet washing (1 rinse cycle, fluid conditioner from the compartment æ is rinsed in, spin). Do not pour conditioner into the compartment if a separate spin cycle is to be carried out.

PUMP OUT (POMPEN, VIDANGE)

Pumping out the water after a rinse stop (without spinning). Rinse stop means: the washing remains in the last rinse water, it is not

spun.

SPIN (CENTRIFUG., ESSORAGE)

Pumping out the water after a rinse stop and spin, or separate spinning of hand washed cotton/linen and easy-care washing.

GENTLE SPIN (KORT CENTRIFUG., ESSORAGE DELICAT)

Instructions for use

Wash Time Display

The wash times for the wash programmes

depend on the usual washing practice and the ambient conditions at the place of installation. The washing type and quantity, the type of washing detergent, the water temperature and the room temperature etc. can influence the duration of the wash programme.

What does “UPDATE” mean?

The wash programmes in your washing machine are controlled by software. New types of fabric or new detergents may require new wash programmes in the future. In most cases, the software can be adapted to this. For further information on a possible “update” please contact customer service.

Water Protection 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 elsewhere, the drainage pump automatically pumps off – even if the unit is switched off. The washing machine merely has to be connected to the electricity mains. When the water protection system responds, a warning signal sounds at the same time.

Instructions for use

Before the first wash

0 Carry out a wash cycle without washing; Programme COTTON/LINEN

(WITTE/BONTE WAS, BLANC/COULEURS) 95, with half the washing powder/liquidquantity. In this way, manufacturing remains in the drum and water container will be removed.

Preparing a Wash LoadLoad

Sorting and preparing a wash load

• Sort the washing according to care symbol (see “Washing Types and Care Symbols”).

• Empty all pockets.

• Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).

• In order to prevent the washing tangling and being damaged: close

zippers, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, and tie up loose straps such as from aprons.

• Turn articles with double layered fabric inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks etc.).

• In the case of knitted coloured fabrics and also wool and fabrics with jewellery attached: turn inside out.

• Place small and delicate articles (baby booties, stockings, bras etc.) into a washing net, a pillow case with zipper, or in large socks before washing.

• Handle curtains with particular care. Metal fittings or burred, plastic fittings 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 transfer colour to white washing or turn it grey.

• New coloured items often have an excess of colour. It is better to wash such items separately the first time.

• Mix small and large items of washing. This improves the wash efficiency and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin cycle.

• Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.

• Do not place folded washing into the drum.

• Observe such washing instructions as “wash separately” and “wash

separately several times”!

Instructions for use

Types of washing and care symbols

The care symbols help in the selection of the correct wash programmes. The washing should be sorted according to type and care symbols. The temperature information on the care symbols are always maximum values.

Instructions for use

Washing Detergents and Care Agents

Which washing detergent and care agent?

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

How much washing detergent and care agent?

The amount to be used depends on:

• the dirtiness of the washing

• the hardness category of the mains water supply

• the filling quantity

If the detergent manufacturer gives no details of the dosing quantities

for minimum loads, add one third less for half loads and, in the case of very small loads and for EASY IRON (STRIJKVRIJ, SANS REPASSAGE), only half the amount of detergent recommended for a full load.

Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's instructions on use and dosage.

Water Softener

For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The responsible water works can provide information on the local water hardness.

Since the water softener is added before the main washing detergent,

(water pre-softening), eighty percent of the softener quantity stated on the package is sufficient.

Setting up and connection instructions

Setting Up the Unit

Washing machines with curved panels are not suitable for substruc-

tures.

Transporting the Unit

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

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

• Never transport the unit without using the transport safeguard. Do

not remove the transport safeguard until you reach the installation site. Transporting the unit without the transport safeguard can result in damage to the unit.

• Never lift the unit by the open filling door or by its base.

When transporting the unit with a sack trolley:

• Attach the sack trolley only at the side. The scoop of the sack trolley

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

Remove the Transport Safeguard

Attention! 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 house).

0 1. Open both hose holders on the

rear of the unit and remove the hoses and the mains cable.

Setting up and connection instructions

Prepare the Installation Location

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and free of floor wax resi-

due and other lubricating coatings so that the unit does not slide away. Do not use any lubricants as sliding aids.

• It is not recommended to set up the washing machine on deep-pile

carpets or on floor coverings with soft foam underlays, as this would mean that the stability of the unit would not be guaranteed.

• Use ordinary rubber mats as underlays in locations with small-format

tiles.

• Never use wood, card or similar underlays to compensate for minor

floor unevenness. Always use the adjustable screw-type feet of the machine.

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

next to a gas cooker or coal stove: Insert a thermally-insulating panel between the washing machine and the cooker (85 x 57cm). This panel must have an aluminium foil 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 damage!

• The intake and drainage hoses must not be bent or pinched.

Setting Up on a Concrete Pedestal

When setting up the washing machine on a concrete pedestal, it is essential for safety reasons to fit stand plates in which the washing machine is then adjusted. The stand plates are available from the Customer Service under spare part number 645 425 058.

Setting Up on a Vibrating floor

In the case of vibrating floors, especially wooden beam floors with flexible boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden panel at least 15mm thick onto at least 2 of the floor beams. If possible, set up the unit in a corner of the room where the wooden floor is best firmly installed and is therefore least likely to be susceptible to vibrations.

Setting up and connection instructions

Compensate for Floor Unevenness

Automatic Adjustment Foot: Your washing machine's rear left foot is

of a spring leg design. This guarantees good stability of the unit, even at high spinning speeds.

If the washing machine still does not stand firmly enough during spinning, proceed as follows:

0 1. Adjust the three adjustment feet

to the setpoint 10mm. To do this, use the supplied special button to remove the transport safeguard.

If the automatic adjustment foot still does not reach the floor:

2. Manually extend the automatic adjustment foot (rear left) by the necessary amount.

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

Attention! Never use wood, card or similar underlays to compensate for minor floor unevenness. Always use the adjustable screw-type feet of the machine.

Setting up and connection instructions

DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS.

Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur. Our consumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the guarantee period. The service life of the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a result.

This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this legislation are not affected by this declaration of guarantee terms. This declaration does not affect the vendor's statutory warranty to the end user. The appliance is guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following terms:

1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of charge any defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is delivered to the first end user. These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent purposes.

2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become our property.

3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention immediately.

4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase showing the purchase and/or delivery date.

5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic), synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.

In the section ”What to do if ...” there is a list of some faults which you can remedy yourself. Look there first if a fault occurs. If you find no information there, please consult your Customer Service Centre.

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 the S-number. Both can be found on the rating plate on the inside of the door on 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?

When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?

– if you could have dealt with the fault yourself with the aid of the

Faults Table (see the section ”What to do if ...”) ,

– if several trips by the customer service technician are necessary be-

cause he had not received all the necessary information before his visit and must now e.g. fetch spare parts. These multiple trips can be avoided if you prepare your phone call as described above.
