3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Special features

Your new washer-dryer meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption and proper care of fabric.

• The Oko-Mix technology has been designed to protect the fabric fibres thanks to different pre-mixing phases that dissolves first the detergent and then fabric softener in the water before they are distributed in the laundry. So every fibre is reached and cared for.

• The ProSense technology detects the laundry load size defining the programme duration in 30 seconds. The washing programme is tailored to the laundry load and the type of fabric without consuming more time, energy and water than necessary.

for the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

• The STEAM mode is a quick and easy way to refresh the clothes. The gentle steam phase removes odours and reduces creases in dry fabrics so they need little ironing. The steam relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric creasing. Ironing will be easier!

• The Stains option pre-treats stubborn stains optimizing the effectiveness of the stain remover.

• The AEG Steam Fragrance - thanks to the steam mode - offers the perfect solution for refreshing even the most delicate garments without washing. Use the delicate fragrance exclusively developed by AEG to add a pleasant feeling of "just-washed" garment to the removing odours and wrinkles action.

15. HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

15.1 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. ).

ENGLISH 37

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.

15.2 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.

Do not spray stain remover on garments near the appliance as it is corrosive to the plastic parts.

15.3 Detergent type and quantity

The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your

www.aeg.com38

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 (also tablets

and single-dose detergents) for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization,

– liquid detergents (also single-dose

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 and follow the manufacturer's recommendations .

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.

15.4 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 programme for saving energy during drying phase!

15.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.

To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.

Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

15.6 Prepare the drying cycle

• Open the water tap.

• Check if the drain hose is connected properly. Refer to installation chapter for more information.

• For the maximum laundry load of the drying programmes, refer to the drying programmes table.

15.7 Items not suitable for

drying

Do not set a drying programme for this laundry:

• Synthetic curtains.

• Fabrics with residue of hair sprays, nail solvents or similar.

• Garments with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber.

15.8 Garment labels

When you dry the laundry, obey the indications on the labels of the manufacturers:

• = The item can be tumble dried

• = The drying cycle is at high temperature

= The drying cycle is at reduced

• temperature

• = The item can not be tumble dried.

15.9 Drying cycle duration

The drying time can change depending on:

• speed of the last spin

• dryness level

• type of laundry

• weight of the load

WARNING! To avoid creasing and shrinkage do not overdry the laundry.

15.11 General Tips

Refer to the «Timed drying» table to find the average drying times. Experience will help you to dry the laundry better. Take note of the duration of the cycles done before.

To avoid the static charge at the end of the drying cycle:

1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing cycle.

2. Use special fabric conditioner for tumble dryers.

3. Do not pour any detergent or softener before a drying cycle.

4. Do not dry rough and smooth textiles together, to avoid scorching on smooth garments.

5. Remove all objects from garment pockets, especially melting objects.

When the drying programme is completed remove the laundry in a short time.

15.10 Additional drying

If, at the end of the drying programme, the laundry is still damp, set a short drying cycle again.

16. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

16.1 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

16.4 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.

16.5 Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low temperature and short programmes can cause detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial growth and biofilm formation inside the drum and the tub. This could generate bad odours and mildew.

To eliminate these deposits and hygienize the inner part of the appliance, run a maintenance wash at least once a month:

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.

2. Run a cotton programme with the highest temperature with a small quantity of powder detergent or, if available, run the Machine Clean programme.

16.6 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.
