Instructions for use

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 temperatures: 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 machine 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 remember 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, destroy 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 qualified specialists. Incorrect repairs may result in significant risk to the user. If repairs are necessary, consult our customer service or your specialist dealer.

•Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the conrol panel, work surface or base panel area are so badly damaged that the interior of the unit is openly 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 circuit breaker at the household power distribution box or completely remove the screw-in fuse.

•If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply 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 risk of fire with overheating!

•Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Risk of electric shock!

•The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of wash programmes with high temperatures. Do not touch!

7

Instructions for use

•Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning the drain pump.

•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.

Instructions for use

2Environment Tips

•The pre-wash cycle is not required for averagely dirty washing. This saves washing powder/liquid, water and time (and does not harm the environment).

•The washing machine is especially economical when you fully utilise the stated filling quantities.

•For small amounts of washing, use only half to two thirds the recommended amount of washing powder/liquid.

•Suitable pretreatment enables stains and small amounts of dirt to be removed. You can then wash at a lower temperature.

•Use the energy-saving program to wash garments which are lightly to moderately dirty.

•There is often no need for conditioner. Try it once! If you use a dryer, your washing will become soft and velvety even without conditioner.

•In the case of medium to high water hardness, (hardness range II or higher, see ”Washing and Care Agents”), you should use water softener.

The washing powder/liquid can then always be metered for hardness range I (= soft).

Actual consumption will vary from the indicated values depending on water pressure, water hardness, water temperature at filling, room temperature, type and quantity of washing, detergent used, variations in mains voltage and any additional programme functions selected.

13

Instructions for use

Before the First Wash

01. Pull out the washing powder drawer slightly.

2.Pour about 1 litre of water through the washing powder drawer into the washing machine. With the next program start, this will close the solution container and the eco-sluice can function correctly.

3.Run a washing cycle without washing: COTTONS (KOCH-/BUNTWÄSCHE, BLANC/COULEURS) 95 °C, with half the amount of washing detergent). This removes residues left over from production on the drum and solution container.

Prepare the Washing Cycle

Sort and Prepare the Washing

•Sort the washing according to care codes and type (see ”Washing Types and Care Codes”).

•Empty pockets.

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

•To prevent washing damage and washing snags: Close zip fasteners, button closed bed covers and pillow cases, and tie together ribbons, e.g. on aprons.

•Use clothing made of double-layer fabric (sleeping bag, anorak etc.).

•On knitted, coloured textiles and on wool and textiles with fitted decorations: Turn inside out.

•Wash small and sensitive items (baby socks, stockings, tights, bras etc.) in a washing net, a cushion with a zip fastener or in larger socks.

•Treat curtains with particular care. Remove small metal rollers or small, burred rollers or tie them in a net or in a bag. We cannot accept any liability for damage.

•Do not wash coloureds and whites together in one washing cycle. Otherwise, whites will discolour or turn grey.

•New coloureds often contain surplus dye. It is best to wash such items separately the first time.

•Mix small and large items of washing! This speeds up theeffect of washing and the washing is more favourably distributed during spinning.

14

Instructions for use

•Loosen up the washing before loading it into the washing machine.

•Put the washing into the drum folded out.

•Pay attention to the care instructions ”Wash separately” and ”Wash separately several times”!

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 ç

Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not sensitive to machine washing or high temperatures. The COTTONS/LINEN (KOCH-/ BUNTWÄSCHE, BLANC/COULEURS) programme is suitable for this type of washing.

Coloureds è ë

Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not sensitive to machine washing. The COTTONS/LINEN (KOCH-/BUNTWÄSCHE, BLANC/COULEURS) programme is suitable for this type of washing.

Easy-Care washing ê í

Materials such as fine cotton, cotton-blend fabrics, viscose and synthetics with these care symbols require a gentler machine wash. The EASY-CARES/EASY IRON (PFLEGELEICHT/LEICHTBÜGELN, TEXTILES MELANGES/FACILE A REPASSER) programme is suitable for this type of washing.

Delicates ì

Materials such as layered fibres, microfibres, viscose, synthetics and net curtains with this care symbol require careful handling. The DELICATES (FEINWÄSCHE, DELICAT) programme is suitable for this types of washing.

Wool/silk and especially sensitive washing 9 ì ï

Fabrics such as wool, wool blends and silk with these care symbols are particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOL/SILK (WOLLE/ SEIDE, LAINE/SOIE) P(Handwash) programme is suitable for these types of fabrics.

Important: Materials with the care symbol ñ(Do not wash) must not be washed in the washing machine.

15

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

2 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 (LEICHTBÜGELN, FACILE A REPASSER), 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.

2	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.
