13. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white,
coloured, synthetics, delicates and
wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items
together.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first couple of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
• Pre-treat stubborn stains.
• Wash stubborn stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and
open the door (refer to "Daily
Use" chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c. press the Start/Pause button.
The spin phase continues.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,
cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or
with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash
small and/or delicate items (e.g.
underwired bras, belts, tights,
shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
www.aeg.com28
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
13.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
13.3 Detergent type and quantity
The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the environment:
• Use only detergents and other
treatments specially made for
washing machines. First, follow these
generic rules:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer
powder detergents containing
bleach for whites and laundry
sanitization,
– liquid detergents, preferably for
low temperature wash
programmes (60 °C max) for all
types of fabric, or special ones for
woollens only.
• The choice and quantity of detergent
will depend on: type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the
colour of clothes, size of the load,
degree of soiling, wash temperature
and hardness of the water used.
• Follow the instructions that you find
on packaging of the detergents or
other treatments without exceeding
the indicated maximum level ( ).
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• Use less detergent if:
– you are washing a small load,
– the laundry is lightly soiled,
– there is large amounts of foam
during washing.
• When using detergent tabs or pods,
always put them inside the drum, not
in the detergent dispenser.
Insufficient detergent may cause:
• unsatisfactory washing results,
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes,
• mould in the appliance.
Excessive detergent may cause:
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing,
• a greater impact for the environment.
13.4 Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help
protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewash in order to
save detergent, water and time (the
environment is protected too!).
• Loading the appliance to the
maximum capacity indicated for
each programmes helps to reduce
energy and water consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of
detergent, refer to the quantity
suggested by the detergent producer
and check the water hardness of you
domestic system. Refer to 'Water
hardness'.
• Set the maximum possible spin
speed for the selected washing
programme before drying your
ENGLISH 29
laundry in a tumble dryer. This will
save energy during drying!
13.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
additive for water softening. In areas
where the water hardness is soft it is not
necessary to use him.
14. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
14.1 Periodic cleaning schedule
Periodic cleaning helps to extend the
life of your appliance.
After each cycle, keep the door and the
detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air
circulation and dry the humidity inside
the appliance: this will prevent mildew
and odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long
time: close the water tap and unplug the
appliance.
Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:
Descaling Twice a year
Maintenance wash Once a month
Clean door seal Every two months
Clean drum Every two months
Clean detergent dis‐
penser
Clean drain pump

Clean the inlet hose
and the valve filter
The following paragraphs explain how
you should clean each part.
Every two months
Twice a year

To find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of additive for
water softening. Follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging of the
product.
14.2 Removing foreign objects
Make sure that pockets are
empty and all loose
elements are tied up before
running your cycle. Refer to
'The laundry load' in 'Hints
and tips'.
Remove any foreign objects (such as
metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you
may find in the door seal, the filters and
the drum. Refer to 'Door seal with double
lip trap', 'Cleaning the drum', 'Cleaning
the drain pump' and 'Cleaning the inlet
hose and the valve filter' paragraphs. If

surfaces. Do not use a scouring pads or
any scratching material.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
www.aeg.com30
14.4 Descaling
If the water hardness in your
area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a
water descaling product for
washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to check for
limescale.
The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with empty
drum and a descaling product
occasionally.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
14.5 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Perform a maintenance wash
regularly. To do this:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the cotton programme with the
highest temperature or use if is
available programme Machine Clean.
Add a small quantity of powder
detergent into empty drum, in order to
rinse out any left residues.
14.6 Door seal
This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light
fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be
drained out with the water. Regularly
examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other
small items can be recovered at the end
of the cycle.
Clean it when needed, using ammonia
cream cleanser agent without scratching
the seal surface.
Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.
14.7 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign body in the washing or
tap water containing iron
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling products,
scouring products containing
chlorine or iron or steel wool.
For a thorough clean:
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a Cottons programme with
the highest temperature.
3. Add a small quantity of powder
detergent into the empty drum, in
order to rinse out any left residues.
Occasionally, at the end of a
cycle the display may show
the icon : this is a
recommendation to perform
the “drum cleaning”. Once
the drum cleaning has been
performed, the icon
disappears.
14.8 Cleaning the detergent
dispenser
