OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1 Safety

The safety standards of AEG electric appliances are in keeping with the
recognised rules of technology and the law governing the safety of
appliances. Nevertheless as a manufacturer we are committed to famil­iarise you with the following safety instructions:

Prior to initial start-up

• Observe the "Installation and Connection Instructions" below in
these user instructions.

• If the appliance is delivered during the winter and temperatures are
below freezing, allow the appliance to stand at room temperature for
24 hours before operation

Intended use

• The washing machine is intended exclusively for the washing of nor­mal household washing in the home. If the appliance is used for pur­poses other than those intended, or if it is improperly operated, the
manufacturer can assume no liability for damages which may occur.

• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly for­bidden due to safety reasons.

• Use only those detergents which are suitable for the washing
machine. Observe instructions provided by the detergent manufac­turer.

• Laundry to be washed may not contain any flammable solvents. This
must also be taken into consideration when washing pre-washed
laundry.

• Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.

• Dyes and bleaches may only be used in the washing machine if such
use has been expressly endorsed by the manufacturer of these prod­ucts. We can assume no liability for damages which may occur.

• Use tap water only. Rain water and industrial water may only be used
if they fulfil requirements in accordance with DIN1986 and DIN1988.

• Damage due to frost is not covered by the guarantee! If the washing
machine is located in a room in which below freezing temperatures
might occur, emergency draining must be carried out if danger of
freezing occurs (see "Emergency Draining"). Furthermore, the inlet
hose must be disconnected from the tap and laid on the floor.

6

Operating instructions

Safety of children

• Packaging materials (e.g. sheet and Styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of asphyxiation! Keep packaging materials at a safe
distance from children.

• Children are often unable to recognise the dangers involved with
electrical appliances. Provide for proper supervision during operation,
and do not allow children to play with the washing machine – the
danger exists that a child might lock itself into the appliance.

• Make certain that children or small animals do not climb into the
drum of the washing machine.

• If the washing machine needs to be disposed of, remove the mains
plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the electrical cable and dispose of
the plug and remaining cable separately. In this way children are pre­vented from locking themselves in and are not exposed life threaten­ing danger.

General Safety

• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by trained
personnel. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If
repairs are required, contact customer service or your dealer.

• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the
control panel, the work surface, or the plinth are damaged to such an
extent that components inside the machine are openly accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine before cleaning, maintenance and
servicing. In addition, unplug from the mains or – in the case of per­manent connection – pull the circuit breaker, or completely remove
screw type fuses.

• Never remove the mains plug by pulling on the cable. Always grip the
plug.

• Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a safety hazard!

• Do not clean the washing machine with a jet of water. There is a risk
of electric shock!

• When high temperature washing programs are selected, the glass in
the door becomes hot. Do not touch!

• Leave the water in the machine to cool down before performing an
emergency drain or cleaning the circulation pump.

• Small animals may gnaw at electrical power cables and water hoses.
There is a risk of electric shock and damage from water leaks! Keep
small animals away from the washing machine.

Operating instructions

2 Disposal

Dispose of the packaging!

Dispose of washing machine packaging materials properly. All packag­ing materials are environmentally sound and can be safely disposed of,
or burned in a refuse incineration plant.
The plastic parts can be reused:

• The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of polyethyl­ene (marking >PE<).

• The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene
(marking >PS<).

Corrugated components are made from recycled paper and should be
disposed of at a paper recycling station.

Dispose of your old appliance!

If, at some point in time, the service life of the appliance has expired,
please take it to your nearest recycling centre, or to your appliance
dealer, who will accept the old appliance for a minimal fee.

2 Environmental protection tips

• No pre-wash is required for normally soiled washing. This saves you
detergent, water and time (and is good for 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.

• Stains and soiling confined to given areas can be removed by means
of appropriate pre-treatment. You can then wash at lower tempera­tures.

• Wash lightly to medium soiled cottons with the energy saving pro­gram.

• Softeners are often not required. Try it! If you use a dryer, your wash­ing will be soft and fluffy, even without softeners.

• A water softener should be used for water within a hardness range of
mid to high (as of hardness level II, see "Detergents and Condition­ers"). Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness level I
(= soft).

Operating instructions

Before Washing for the First Time

0 1. Pull the detergent drawer out from the control panel a little.

2. Pour around 1 litre of water into the washing machine via the deter­gent drawer. This will ensure when the washing machine is started that
the water container is closed and that the ECO valve can function cor­rectly.

3. Perform a washing cycle without any washing (MAIN WASH 95, with
half the normal dose of detergent).
This serves to remove residues resulting from production of the appli­ance from the drum and the water container.

Prepare washing cycle

Sort washing and prepare

• 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
ends from, for example, 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 (baby booties, stockings, bras etc.)

into a washing net, a pillow case with zipper, or in large socks before
washing.

• Treat net curtains particularly carefully. Remove metal curtain rail

rollers or burred plastic rollers, or wrap these in a net or bag.
We cannot accept any liability for damage.

• 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.

13

Operating instructions

• Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing effi-

ciency, and the washing is more favourably distributed during the
spin cycle.

• Fluff washing before placing into the washing machine.

• Do not place folded washing into the drum.

• Observe tips for proper care such as "wash separately" and "wash sep-

arately several times"!.

Washing Types and Care Symbols

Operating instructions

Detergent and conditioner

Which detergent and conditioner?

Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in
washing machines. Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

How much detergent and conditioner?

The required quantity depends upon:

• the amount of washing
If the detergent manufacturer does not include dosing instructions for

2

reduced loads, use one third less for half loads and only half of the full
load detergent quantity for very small loads.

• extent of soiling of the washing

• hardness of tap water

Observe instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent and
conditioner manufacturer.

Using Water Softener

In the case of medium to very hard water (from hardness band II) water
softener should be used. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions! Then
always use detergent dosing for hardness band I (= soft). Information
on the hardness of the water in your area is provided by your local
water board.

Operating instructions

What to do when…

The somewhat different, in comparison to older wash-

3

ing machines, whistling noise during spinning is due to
the modern drive system.
A rattling sound on startup – in particular when using
for the first time – is caused by the circulation pump
and is due to the design.

Trouble Shooting

26

Operating instructions

If the washing results are not satisfactory

If the washing is grey and there are calcium deposits in the drum

• Too little detergent was used.

• The wrong detergent was used.

• Special soiling was not pre-treated.

• Program or temperature not set correctly.

• When using component detergents, the individual components were

not used in the correct proportions.

If there are still gray stains on the washing

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

little detergent.

• Too lower temperature was used for washing.

• A common cause is that softener – particularly that in concentrated

form – has got onto the washing. Wash out any such spots as quickly
as possible and use that particular softener carefully.

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

• Modern detergents can cause foam also in the last rinse. The washing

is however sufficiently rinsed.

If there are white remnants on the washing

• This is an insoluble material contained in modern detergents.

This is not the result of unsatisfactory rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. Perhaps you should turn the washing
inside out before washing in future. Reconsider choice of detergent,
possibly use liquid detergent.

27

Operating instructions

Perform emergency drain

• If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water then an

emergency drain must be performed.

• If the washing machine is located in a room in which below freezing

temperatures might occur, emergency draining must be carried out if
danger of freezing occurs.
Furthermore, the inlet hose must be disconnected from the tap and
laid on the floor.

Warning! Switch the washing machine off and pull the mains plug

1

prior to emergency draining.
Attention! The water which runs out of the emergency draining hose

Installation and Connection Instructions

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Safety Precautions

• Do not tip the washing machine over the front or the left side (seen

from the front). Electrical components could become wet!

• Check the washing machine for transport damages. You should never

connect a damaged appliance. In the event of a damage consult your
dealer.

• Make certain that all shipping braces have been removed and that

the splash guard is attached to the appliance, see "Shipping Brace
Removal". Otherwise damage may occur to the machine or close by
furniture during the spin cycle.

• The plug may only be inserted into a properly installed earthing con-

tact safety socket. Extension cables, octopus plugs or adapters may
not be used.

• For permanent connection a current interruption device must be pro-

vided for in the electrical circuit (fuse, circuit breaker, ground fault
circuit interrupter or the like) with a contact opening of at least
3 mm which allows for disconnection of the appliance at all poles.
Permanent connection may only be carried out by an authorised
electrician.

• Before starting your appliance please ensure that the nominal volt-

age and type of current specified on the rating plate are the same as
those used at the place of installation. Please also refer to the rating
plate for the type of fuse to be used.

• Prior to carrying out modifications on the appliance (on the worktop

or front door) pull out the mains plug.

• The mains feed-line may only be replaced by the customer service or

by an authorised electrician.

beneath countertops.

Transporting the appliance

• Do not lay the washing machine on the front or on the left side (seen

from the front); otherwise the electrical components could become
wet!

• Never transport the appliance without transportation protection.

Remove the protection only at the place of installation! Transporta­tion without protection can lead to damages to the appliance.

• Neither lift the appliance by an open door nor by the base.

• The appliance weighs approx. 85kg.

• By transportation with a trolley: Place the trolley only sidewise.

Remove transportation protection

Attention! Be absolutely certain that all shipping braces have been

removed before installing the appliance.
Store all shipping braces in a safe place in case they are required for

future transport (moving).

32

Installation and Connection Instructions

Special spanner H and cover caps E (2 off) and G (1 off) are supplied

3

with the appliance.

0 1. Remove flexible tubing holder A.

2. Remove the two screws B with special spanner H.

3. Remove the four screws C.

4. Detach transportation rail D.

5. Close the two large openings with the cover caps E.
Attention! Press cover caps forcefully in, so that they snap into the

rear wall (protecting the interior of the appliance against sprayed
water).

6. Drive in the screws C into the four small holes again.

7. Remove the screw and compression spring F with special spanner H,

cover the hole with caps G.
Attention! Press cover caps forcefully in, so that they snap into the
rear wall (protecting the interior of the appliance against sprayed
water).

Prepare the installation place

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

other smearing substances, so that the appliance does not slip off. Do
not use any lubricant as 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.

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

laying pieces of wood, carton or similar elements, but rather basically
compensated by adjusting the screw feet.

• When it is unavoidable to install the appliance besides a gas or a

coal-fuelled cooker, due to spatial reasons: insert a piece of heat­insulating board (85 x 57 cm) between the cooker and the washing
machine; the board side facing the cooker must be provided with an
aluminium foil.

• The washing machine may not be installed in a frost-endangered

room. Frost-caused damages!

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

33

Installation and Connection Instructions

Installation on a concrete base

When installing on a concrete base,
for safety reasons it is imperative
that steel plates are installed, the
washing machine is then installed in
these plates. The steel plates are
available from customer service
under ET-No. 645 425 058.

Installation on vibrating floors

In the case of floors that vibrate, especially wooden floors with floor­boards that flex, a water-proof wooden panel of at least 15 mm thick­ness must be firmly screwed to at least 2 floor beams. If possible, install
the appliance in a corner of the room: the wooden floor is more firmly
supported in the corners and thus has less tendency to resonant vibra­tion.

Levelling on uneven floors

Using the four adjustable threaded feet, compensation can be made for
unevenness in the floor and the height of the appliance adjusted. The
height can be adjusted over the range +10... -5 mm.

To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied for removing the
transport braces.

0 1. Slide the special key firmly onto the hexagon head of the threaded foot

all the way to the stop.

2. Adjust the threaded feet so that the appliance is level and sits stably.
The appliance must not rock across the corners when operating under
load.

3. If necessary, check positioning with a spirit level.

Important! Never compensate for small areas of unevenness in the

floor through the use of wooden wedges, cardboard or the like. Level­ling should only ever be performed by adjusting the feet.

34

Installation and Connection Instructions

Power supply

Details on the mains voltage,
type of current and the neces­sary fuse protection are to be
found on the rating plate. The
rating plate is above and
behind the 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.

Water drain-off

The drain-off tubing can be connected either to a siphon or be hanged
in a washing or sink basin or in a bathtub.

For extension (max. 3 m floor length and up to 80 cm high) only origi­nal tubing may be used. The customer service supplies drain-off tubing
of 2.7 and 4m lengths.

Water drain-off inside a siphon

The spout at the end of the tubing fits all common siphon types.

0 Make the connection spout/siphon secure with a tubing clip.

Water drain-off inside a basin

For hanging in a wash basin, sink or bath,
the drain hose must be prevented from
moving using the detachable elbow sup­plied.
The tube could otherwise be pushed out of
the basin by the reactive force imparted by
draining water.
Small sink basins are not suitable!

0 Fasten the elbow on the water tap or on

the wall by means of the hole.

Delivery heights above 1m

Every washing machine is provided with a suds pump for draining the
washing/rinsing suds, which can deliver liquids via the drain-off tubing

SERVICE

If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the section
"What to do when ..." in these user instructions. If you do not find any
applicable instructions there, contact your customer service centre.
(Addresses and telephone number can be found in the "Service Depart­ments" section.)

Be well prepared before you phone. This facilitates the diagnosis and
the decision as to whether a customer service visit is necessary. With
our checklist you can gather important information before making
your call:

Make a note of the PNC number and
the S-number.
Both of these number can be found
on the rating plate on the inside of
the door of your washing machine.

......................................................

PNC

......................................................

S-No.

In addition to this please establish if possible:

• How is the malfunction noticeable ?

• Under what circumstances does the malfunction occur?

Service

You will be charged even during the warranty period

– if you could have corrected the malfunction yourself with the help of

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

– if the customer service technician is required to make several trips

because he had not received all relevant information before his visit,
and must return, for example, to pick up replacement parts. This
additional driving can be avoided if your telephone call is well prepa­red, as described above.
