Operating instructions
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.

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).
