1Safety instructions
Warning: Notes that concern your personal safety.
Attention: Notes that show how to avoid damage to the appliance.
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
Safety of Children and Infirm Persons
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
• The appliance is not intendet for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
• 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 risk that they canlock themselves inside it.
• 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 the washing machine 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 pull the plug out of the socket.
• 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 electrical 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 cause the danger of an electrical shock to the animal and water
damage to the appliance and property. Keep small animals away from
the appliance.

1Warning! When an appliance is finished with, remove the plug from
the mains socket. Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them.
Destroy the door lock. This prevents children from trapping themselves
inside and endangering their lives.
2Environmental Tips
• You do not need to use a pre wash cycle or soak for washing with average soiling. This saves detergent, water and time (and protects the
environment).
• When loaded to the capacities indicated the washing machine is especially 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 “Detergents and Conditioners”) you should use water softener. The
8
detergent can then always be dosed as for hardness range I (= soft).

Wash programmes
LINEN/EASY-CARE
Wash programme (20 °C to 60 °C) for cottons/
coloureds (cotton/linen), easy-care (mixed fabrics, e.g. cotton/polyester) and synthetics. The appliance adjusts the programme according to the
different fabric types and load sizes. If the wash
load is predominantly cotton/linen, the programme is set for cottons/coloureds. If it consists
mainly of synthetics, the easy-care programme is
selected. If the load to be washed contains easy-care only, do not load
more than 3 kg in order to avoid excessive creasing of the laundry.

Preparing a Wash Load
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 trans-
fer 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 effi-
ciency 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”!
22
Types of washing and care symbols
Care symbols help you to choose the correct wash programme. Washing
should be sorted by type and according to care symbols. The temperatures indicated on the care symbols are the maximum wash temperatures.
Cottons O
Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not sensitive to machine washing or high temperatures. The COTTONS programme is suitable for such items.
Coloureds MJ
Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not sensitive to machine washing. The LINEN/EASY-C. programme is suitable for such
items.
Easy-care items NK
Materials such as fine cotton, cotton-blend fabrics and synthetics with
these care symbols require a gentler machine wash. The LINEN/EASY-C.
andEASY IRON programmes are provided for use with such items.
Delicates L
Materials such as layered fibres, micro-fibres, synthetics and curtains
with this care symbol require careful handling. The DELICATES programme is suitable for such items.
Viscose KL
Modern materials such as viscose, cupro, lyocell, modal etc. require especially careful handling. The FASHION programme is suitable for such
items.
Lingerie KL
The LINGERIE programme is suitable for fine and delicate items made of
polyester, polyamide and mixed fabrics with these care symbols.
Wool, silk and especially delicate items WLH
Fabrics such as wool, wool blends and silk with these care symbols are
particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOLLENS H and
SILK H programmes are suitable for such items.
Important: Items with care symbols G (Do not wash!) must not be
washed in washing machines.
23
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.
1For USA and Canada only!
Important! Only LOW-SUDSING detergent suitable for a front-loading
washing machine can be used in this machine. This machine can heat
the water up to 95 degrees celsius, or 200 degrees fahrenheit, and care
should be taken to ensure that the correct washing powder is used. If
you have any doubt, check with your dealer or the distributor.
WARRANTY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARE VOIDED IF A LOW
SUDSING DETERGENT IS NOT USED.
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
2If 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, only half the amount of detergent
recommended for a full load.
Refer to the detergent/ care agent manufacturer's instructions on use
and dosage.
24
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.
2Since the water softener is rinsed in before the main detergent (water
pre-softening), 80% of the stated quantity of softener shown on the
package is sufficient.

If the wash results are not satisfactory
Washing is grey and scale is being deposited in the drum
• Too little detergent is being used.
• The right detergent was not used.
• Special soiling was not pre-treated.
• Programme or temperature was not correctly set.
There are grey stains on the washing.
• Washing soiled with ointment, grease or oil was washed with too lit-
tle detergent.
• It was washed at too low a temperature.
• A common cause is that fabric conditioner – especially a concentrate
– has got onto the washing. Such stains should be washed out as
quickly as possible and make sure that you are careful when using
fabric conditioner.
After the last rinse foam can still be seen.
• Modern detergents may create foam even in the last rinse cycle. The
washing is however sufficiently rinsed.
There are white residues on the washing.
• This is due to the insoluble ingredients in modern detergents.
They are not caused by insufficient rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out
before washing. Check your choice of detergent. Especially with dark
colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.

Carrying out emergency drainage
• If the washing machine no longer pumps off the washing solution,
emergency drainage must be performed.
• If the washing machine is in a room where there is a risk of frost,
emergency drainage must be performed if there is a possibility of
frost.
In addition: unscrew the inlet hose form the water tap and place it on
the floor. Empty the drainage hose.
1Warning! Switch off the washing machine before performing emer-
gency drainage and pull out the mains plug.
Caution! The washing solution escaping from the emergency drainage
hose may be hot. There is a risk of scalding! Allow the washing solution
to cool down before performing emergency drainage.
1. Place a flat collecting vessel in order to collect the washing solution
which is draining off.
2. Fold open the flap in the right section of the base outwards and pull it
off.
3. Remove the emergency drainage
hose from its holder.
4. Place the container under the hose.
5. Detach the plug of the emergency
drainage hose by turning it anticlockwise and pull it out.
The washing solution runs out. Depending on the amount of solution,
it may be necessary to empty the
collecting vessel several times. To do
this, close the emergency drainage
hose temporarily with the plug.
48
When the water is completely drained:
6. Push the plug securely into the emergency drainage hose and turn it
clockwise to secure it.
7. Replace the emergency drainage hose in its holder.
8. Put on the flap and close.
Drain pump
The drain pump is maintenance free. The cover of the drain pump must
only be opened in the event of a malfunction when no more water is
being pumped out, e.g. if the pump is blocked.
Before loading the machine, please always ensure that there are no foreign objects left in the pockets or in between the items to be washed.
Paper clips, nails etc. which may find their way into the washing machine along with the washing will remain in the drain pump housing.
To restart the drain pump when it is blocked, please proceed as follows:
1Warning! Switch off the washing machine and remove the mains plug
before cleaning the drain pump!
1. First carry out an emergency emptying procedure (see section “Carrying
out emergency drainage”).
2. Place a cloth on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump. Residual water may run out.
3. Unscrew the drain pump cover in
an anti-clockwise direction and
pull it out.
4. Remove any foreign objects and
fabric lint from the pump housing.
49
5. Replace the pump cover. Laterally
insert the webs on the cover into
the guide slots and screw on the
cover in a clockwise direction.
6. Close the emergency emptying
hose and place it in the holder.
7. Close the flap.
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.
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.

54
Installing the appliance
Transporting the appliance
1Warning! The washing machine is very heavy. Risk of injury. Be careful
when lifting.
• Do not lay the appliance on its front nor on its right side (as seen
from the front). Electrical components may get wet.
• Never transport the appliance without its transit packaging. Only re-
move the transit packaging when the appliance is in its place of installation. Transporting the appliance without its transit packaging
can lead to damage to the appliance.
• Never lift the appliance by the door when it is open nor by the plinth.
When moving using a sack trolley:
• Only use the sack trolley on the side of the appliance. The sack trol-
ley’s base plate must not be longer than 24 cm, otherwise parts of the
anti-flood system may be damaged.
Removing the transit packaging
Important! Before using the appli-
ance for the first time, all parts of
the transit packaging must be removed! Keep the transit packaging
in a safe place, in case it is needed at
a later date when the appliance is to
be moved (e.g. moving house).
1. At the back of the appliance, open
both hose clips and remove both
hoses and mains cable.
2. Remove both hose clips from the appliance by jerking them hard.
55

they snap into place. (Splash protection).
56
Where to install
Important! The appliance must not be used in a room where there is a
danger of frost. Frost damage or impaired operation! Frost damage is
not covered by the warranty.
• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm
and level. Do not install the appliance on carpets or on soft floor coverings.
• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean
and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance
does not slide.
• If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with
small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under
the appliance.
If the appliance is to stand on a
plinth:
In order for the appliance to be secure on the plinth, fixing plates*)
must be mounted, into which the
appliance is inserted.
If the appliance is to stand on floors that vibrate, e. g. floors of
wooden joists with deal boards:
If possible, install the appliance in one corner of the room.
1. Screw a water-resistant wooden board (at least 15 mm thick) onto at
least 2 of the floor joists.
2. Affix fixing plates *) onto the wooden board, into which the appliance
is inserted.
*) The fixing plates can be obtained from the Customer Care Department.
Making the appliance level
3Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing
machine is built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance
gives in the back left-hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot
guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds.
Basically the automatic foot does not need to be set.
57
The four feet of the appliance are
pre-adjusted.
Large degrees of unevenness can be
compensated for by individually adjusting the height adjustable screw
feet.
Use the special spanner supplied to
do this.
Important! Do not use pieces of
wood, cardboard or such like to level out unevenness in the floor, but
adjust the height adjustable screw
feet instead.
Electrical connection
Details about the voltage, type of supply and the fuses required are to
be found on the rating plate. The rating plate is next to the doorway.
Connecting to the water supply
Important!
• This appliance must not be connected to the hot water system.
• When connecting it, use only new hose kits.
• Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water
or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988.
• Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose.
58
Permitted water pressure
The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (= 10N/cm2=0.1MPa) and may
be a maximum of 10bar (= 100N/cm
– If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve.
– If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from
the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition remove the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket
behind it.) Re-insert the filter.
2
=1MPa).
Water inflow
A 1.50 m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance.
If a longer water inlet hose is required, only original hoses are to be
used. The Customer Care Department stocks hose kits of different
lengths.
3Sealing rings are either inserted in the nuts of the threaded hose fitting
or are included as spare parts . Do not use any other type of sealing
rings.
Important! All threaded hose fittings must only be tightened by
hand.
1. Connect the hose with the right-angle connector to the machine.
Important! Do not position the inlet
hose vertically downwards. Position
it to the right or the left as shown in
the illustration.
2. Connect the hose with the straight
connector to a water tap with an R
¾ (inch) screw thread.
3. To tighten or loosen the threaded
hose fitting, only the metal nuts
must be turned. When doing this,
keep a firm hold on the housing of
the safety valve with one hand, so
that it does not turn at the same
time.
Important! To tighten or loosen the
threaded hose fitting, never turn the
housing of the safety valve, as otherwise the inner hose will be damaged.
4. Open the water tap slowly and check all connections for water tightness.
59
Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface
on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m
laid on the floor and then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Department stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.
Draining water into a sink outlet
Secure the outlet/sink outlet joint
with a hose band clip (available from
your dealer).
Draining water into a wash basin/bath
1Important!
– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow.
– The end of the drain hose must
not be in the water that has been
pumped out. Otherwise water
could be sucked back into the appliance.
– When draining into a wash basin
or a bath, secure the drain hose
with the supplied elbow to stop it
slipping. Otherwise the water running out can force the hose out of
the basin.
– When pumping the water out,
check that the water is running
away fast enough.
60
Pumping heights over 1 m
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.
Warning! If pumping height is over 1 metre, malfunctions and damage
to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.
Please contact the Customer Care Department.
