Safety instructions

The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and
with legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as
manufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety
notes.

General notes

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified
personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause
serious danger. Contact our Service Centre or your AEG dealer.

• Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or
the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components
can be reached.

• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance operations.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the
socket; always take hold of the plug itself.

• Never spray the washing machine with a jet of water. Danger of
electrocution!

• During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get
hot. Do not touch it!

• Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or
before opening the door in an emergency.

• Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water hoses causing
electrocution hazard and damage due to water leaks.

42

Positioning, connection, starting up

• Follow the instructions for positioning and connection.

• Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS 60, with half the
amount of detergent) in order to remove any manufacturing residue
from the tub and the drum.

• Should the machine be purchased in winter, when temperatures can
be below 0°, leave the appliance for 24 hours at ambient temperature
before starting it.

Safety instructions

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances
can be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully
supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a
risk that they could become trapped inside.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be
dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of
children’s reach.

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.

• When the appliance is disposed of, pull the plug out of the socket,
cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the
remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children
from becoming trapped inside while playing.

Proper use

• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is
used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer
accepts no responsibility for any possible damage that might occur.

• For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified.

• Use only detergents suitable for washing machines and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

• Laundry must not have any trace of inflammable solvents; be
particularly careful when washing items that have been previously
dry cleaned.

• Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if specifically permitted
by the manufacturer of these products. We cannot be held
responsible for any damage.

• Use only water supplied from the rising mains. Rainwater or industrial
water may only be used if the requirements of standards DIN 1986
and DIN 1988 are complied with.

43

Discarding

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in

appropriate collection containers.
For information regarding waste collection points, please contact your

local authorities.

>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene

Machine

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall
be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of
electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is
disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative
consequences for the environment and human health, which could
otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product.
For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please
contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service
or the shop where you purchased the product.

44

Tips for environmental protection

• Lightly soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to
save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

• When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the
recommended amount of detergent.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

• Try not to use fabric softeners. If the laundry is machine dried, it will
remain soft even without using fabric softeners.

• If the water has a medium or high degree of hardness (starting from
degree of hardness II, see “Detergents and additives”) water softeners
must be added.

• The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to degree of hardness
I (= soft).

45

Main features of your washing machine

• Temperature regulated by selector knob.

• The spin phases can be eliminated for cotton programmes.

• The stop with water in drum function can be selected for synthetics,
delicates and woollens: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse
water to avoid the formation of creases.

• Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes
your garments with extreme care, without felting them.

• 4-compartment drawer for detergent, fabric softener and bleach.

Programme selector dial and ON/OFF

The dial has 2 functions:
Programme selector dial

The programme selector determines the type of washing cycle (e.g.
drum movement, number of rinses, spin
speed) according to the type of laundry.

Warning! It must only be turned
clockwise.

48

Push the dial inwards to interrupt the
programme and to switch the machine off at
the end of the programme.
Before setting the dial to any position the
machine must be switched off by pressing in
the dial.

Description of the appliance

Temperature selector dial

Graduated from (cold) to 90°C it
enables selection of the most suitable
temperature for each type of laundry.

It can be turned clockwise and anticlockwise.
In the (cold) position, the

machine operates with cold water. This is
particularly recommended for very delicate
items, such as curtains.

Mains-on light

This light comes on when the Programme selector dial is pulled out and
goes out at the end of the cycle.

Half load button (YARIM YÜK)

When this button is pressed, the number of rinse cycles in cotton
programmes is reduced from 4 to 3.

No Spin button (SIKMA IPTAL)

When this button is pressed, before starting the cotton programmes, all
spin phases will be excluded.

Anticrease button. SUDA BEKLETME

When this button is pressed with delicates and synthetics programmes
(excluded the Drain programme ), the last rinse water is
not emptied out, to prevent the fabrics from creasing.

To empty out water:

- press the button again: the machine will perform a drain phase.

- or select the spin programme (SIKMA).

49

Description of the appliance

Detergent and additive dispenser drawer

Compartment for prewash detergent. It is emptied at the beginning of
the wash programme.

Compartment for powder or liquid detergent used for main wash.
It is emptied at the beginning of the wash cycle.

Compartment for liquid additives (fabric softener, starch).
It is emptied at the last rinse.

Compartment for bleach.

The quantity of additives must not exceed the «MAX» mark in the
drawer.

Before the first wash

Before your first wash, we recommend that you run a cotton cycle at
60°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any
manufacturing residue from the drum and tub.

Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the
machine.

50

Preparing the wash cycle

Sorting out and preparing the laundry

• Sort out the laundry according to type of fabrics and care labels (see
“Types of fabric and care labels”).

• Empty pockets.

• Remove any metal parts (safety pins, clips, etc.).

• To prevent the laundry from getting damaged and forming bundles,
it is advisable to close zips, button up pillowcases and quilt covers and
tie up loose straps such as those of aprons.

• Turn double faced items inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.)

• Turn coloured knitted fabrics, woollens and fabrics with trim inside
out.

• Wash small and delicate items (baby socks, tights) inside a laundry net
or in a pillow case closed with a zip, or in larger socks.

• Treat curtains with special care. Remove all metal or plastic hooks or
put them in a net or a bag. We decline any responsibility in case of
damage.

• Whites and coloureds must be washed separately: white items can
loose their whiteness.

• New coloured fabrics often have excess dyes; it is advisable to wash
them separately for the first time.

• Wash small and large items together; this improves the washing result
and the laundry is better distributed during spinning.

• Shake out garments before putting them into the machine.

• Insert each garment separately.

Whites

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol can be washed at high
temperatures.

Coloureds

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be
washed at 60°C.

Coloureds

Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore
the washing temperature must not exceed these values.

Synthetics

Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a
delicate wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the
specific programme.

52

Delicates

Microfibres, synthetics or curtains marked with these symbols require a
particularly delicate treatment.
The DELICATES programme (NARINLER) is suitable for this type of fabric.

Woollens and particularly delicate items

Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are
particularly sensitive to machine washing.
The WOOLLENS programme (YÜNLÜLER) is suitable for this type of fabric.

Fabrics marked with the symbol (wool) can be machine washed only
if the label indicates “does not felt” or “machine washable”.

If the label has the symbol (hand wash) or (do not wash),
garments must not be machine washed!

53

Preparing the wash cycle

Detergents and additives

Which detergent and additive?

Use only detergents and additives for washing machines. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

How much detergent?

The quantity depends on:

• the load:
if the manufacturer does not provide any indications on the amount of
detergent for small loads, use about one third less than the suggested
amount for half loads and half the amount for very small loads;

• the degree of soil:
use a small amount of detergent for lightly soiled garments. Judge
the amount according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions
and size of the load;

• the water hardness:
the harder the water, the more detergent required. Instructions
according to water hardness are given on the detergent pack.

Liquid detergent

54

Liquid detergent can be poured directly into the main wash compartment
of the dispenser drawer immediately before starting the programme, or
a special dispenser can be used that is placed directly in the drum.
Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Adding a water softener

A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree
of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to
degree of hardness I (= soft). Information on water hardness can be
obtained from your local water supply authority.

Cleaning and maintenance

Detergent can also accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it with an old
toothbrush. Refit the drawer after
cleaning.

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if

• the machine does not empty and/or spin

• the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects

such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the appliance.

• If necessary wait until the water has

cooled down.

• Open the pump door.

• Place a container close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

• Pull out the emergency emptying hose,

place it in the container and remove its
cap.

• When no more water comes out,

unscrew the pump cover and remove it.
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up
spillage of water when removing the
cover.

P1114

• Remove any objects from the pump

impeller by rotating it.

P1 115

61

Cleaning and maintenance

• Put the cap back on the emergency
emptying hose and place the latter back in
its seat.

• Screw the pump cover fully in.

• Close the pump door.

P1117

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme
selected there can be hot water in the pump circuit. Never remove the
pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has
finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the pump cover, after
a cleaning inspection, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop
leaks and young children being able to remove it.

Cleaning the water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter
may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from
time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water
inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard
bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.

62

Cleaning and maintenance

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the
machine:

• pull out the plug from the power socket;

• close the water tap;

• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;

• open the pump door;

• place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency
emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain
by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, put the cap back on
the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops
flowing out;

• clean the pump if necessary as previously described;

• replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having
plugged it;

• screw the pump cover again and close the door.

63

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain
precautions should be taken.

• Turn off the water tap.

• Unscrew the inlet hose.

• Place the end of the emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet
hoses in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency
emptying hose after having put the cap on again.

• When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the
room temperature is above 0°C.

64

Something not working?

If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual
whistling noise, different from the noise made
by traditional washing machines, this is due to
a new type of motor.

If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to
the modern technology of new washing
machines that use less water than traditional
machines.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the
instructions below. If you call out an engineer when one of the
following problems arises, or to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the
call-out will be charged even if requested within the guarantee period.

Unsatisfactory washing results

If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum

• Too little detergent has been used.

• An unsuitable detergent has been used.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

• The programme or the temperature have not been correctly selected.

If grey stains remain on the laundry

• Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with

an insufficient amount of detergent.

• The temperature selected for the wash programme was too low.

• Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type - has come into

direct contact with the laundry. Wash these stains immediately and
pour fabric softener carefully.

Foam is still visible even after the last rinse

• Modern detergents often produce foam, even in the last rinse.

However the laundry has been completely rinsed.

White residue is left on the laundry

• This is due to insoluble components in modern detergents and is

therefore not the result of insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the
laundry. In future, it may be better to turn garments inside out before
washing them. Check the choice of detergent; try using liquid
detergents.

Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be
removed before using the appliance.

Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the
rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on
its back, taking care not to squash the hoses.
This can be avoided by placing one of the
corner packing pieces between the machine
and the floor.

Remove the
polystyrene
block from the
bottom of the
machine and
release the two
plastic bags by
removing the
adhesive strip.

Carefully remove
the left-hand bag (1) then the right-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards
the centre of the machine.

Set the machine
upright and
remove the two
remaining bolts
from the back.

Pull out the
three plastic
spacers from the
holes into which
the bolts were fitted.

Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find in the envelope
containing the booklet.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted
if the machine ever has to be transported again.

73

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by

carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or
other kitchen units.

• The floor surface must be clean and dry, without any wax or polish
residue to avoid any possibility of sliding. Do not use viscous
substances to move the appliance into place by sliding it across the
floor.

• It is inadvisable to place the machine on long-haired rugs or carpet
or on layers of foam-rubber as this would affect its stability.

• Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.

• If the appliance is positioned on flexible floors, especially wooden
beams with flexible floorboards, use a 15 mm thick, water resistant
panel of wood, screwed to at least two of the floor beams. If possible,
position the machine in a corner of the room, where the beams are
more solidly fixed and tend to be more stable.

• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of
wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.

• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas
cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered
with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be
inserted between the two appliances;

• The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature
can drop below 0.

• The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.

Installation

Levelling

74

Level the
appliance by
loosening or
tightening the
feet.

Once in the right
position fix the
feet by pushing
the nuts against
the base of the case.

Never place cardboards, wood or similar material under the machine
to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Installation

Water inlet

Connect the
water inlet hose
to a separate tap
with a 3/4"
thread.

P1088

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be
turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not
wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose
specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the
plastic hose guide supplied with the
machine. In this case, make sure the end

cannot come unhooked when the machine
is emptying.

This could be done by tying it to the tap
with a piece of string or attaching it to the
wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that
the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

75

Directly into a
drain pipe at a
height of not less

than 60 cm and
not more than
90 cm.

The end of the
drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the
drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be kinked. Run it along the floor; only the part
near the drainage point must be raised.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 230 V, single-phase,
50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum
load required (2.300 kW), also taking into account any other appliances
in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury
through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.

Installation

Permanent connection

In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a
double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply
(mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and
of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current
electrical regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any
point.

This operation has only to be performed by a qualified electrician.
