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 state of the art in washing technology is reached, 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.

12

Operating Instructions

Before Using for the First Time

0 1. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer a short distance out of the control panel.

2.Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent dispenser drawer into the washing machine. When this has been done, done the ÖKO lock can function correctly.

3.Run a washing cycle without washing (COTTONS 95, with half the amount of washing powder).

This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left during manufacture.

Preparing a Wash Load

Sorting and preparing a wash load

Sort washing according to 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 duvets 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 textiles with appliqués should be turned inside out.

Place small and delicate articles (socks, tights, bras, etc.) into a washing net or a pillow case.

Handle curtains with care. Remove metal strips or plastic hooks.

Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing will otherwise turn grey.

New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these items separately the first time.

Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing efficiency, and the washing is more favourably distributed during the spin cycle.

13

Operating Instructions

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"!

Washing Types and Care Symbols

Care symbols assist in the selection of the correct washing program. Washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The temperatures indicated in the care symbols are maximum temperatures.

Cottons ç

Textiles made from cotton and linen with this care symbol will withstand maximum wash actions and high temperatures.

The COTTONS/LINEN program is appropriate for this type of washing.

Linen è ë

Textiles made from cotton and linen with these care symbols will withstand maxiumum wash actions and high temperatures.

The COTTONS/LINEN program is appropriate for this type of washing.

Easy-care washing ê í î

Fabrics such as treated cottons, cotton mixtures and synthetics with this care symbol need a softer washing action.

The EASY-CARES program is suitable for this type of washing.

Delicates ì

Fabrics such as those with layered fibres, micro-fibres, as well as synthetics and net curtains with this care symbol require particularly careful handling. The DELICATES program is suitable for this type of washing.

Wool and particularly delicate washing 9 ì ï

Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with these care symbols require a very gentle wash cycle. The WOOLLENS/P(Hand washing) program is appropriate for this type of washing.

Important! Fabrics with this care symbol ñ(Do Not Wash!) must not be washed in the washing machine!

Detergents and Conditioners

Only use detergents and fabric softeners suitable for automatic washing machine use. As a general rule follow the instructions of the detergent manufacturers.

14

Operating Instructions

Which Detergent?

To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines.

To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes whether for whites, colours or delicates.

Whites

We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at lower temperatures.

Non Biological

If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal.

Coloureds

For coloured items, you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour.

Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preserve colours.

Delicate Items

When washing delicates, such as wool, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and other delicates.

Laundry Bleach

For additional stain removal you may wish to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach, which is used in addition to your chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable fabrics including coloureds.

15

Operating Instructions

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you choose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form, is down to personal choice.

Traditional Powders

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

Liquids

Measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.

Compact

Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.

*If you use a dosing device/ball in a washer dryer, please ensure the device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.

Fabric Conditioners

These are ideal for improving „softness“, and also reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing easier. They are available in two types:

For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for

use in the washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol w. Follow the manufacturer’s dosage instructions and never exceed the MAX level.

Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a tumble dryer. We recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned (using a safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed in the tumble dryer.
