The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as
manufacturers we regard it as our responsibility to inform you about
the following safety instructions.
Before Using for the First Time
• Refer to the "Installation and Connection Instructions" further on
in this user information.
• If units are delivered in the winter months at minus temperatures:
Store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.
Correct Use
• The washing machine is only intended for washing normal domestic
washing. If the appliance is used for a wrong purpose or wrongly operated, the manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any damages.
• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly forbidden due to safety reasons.
• Use only detergent which is suitable for washing machines. Refer to
the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
• The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also bear this
in mind when washing pre-cleaned washing.
• Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.
• Dyes /dye-removing agents may only be used in the washing machine
if the manufacturer expressly permits use of these products. We cannot accept liability for any damage.
• Use only water from the water mains. Use rain water or service water
only if it meets the requirements defined in DIN 1986 and DIN 1988.
• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine
is in a room subject to possible frost hazards, emergency emptying
must be carried out if there is a risk of frost (see the Section "Carrying out emergency emptying“).
6
Child Safety
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for
children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
• Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling
electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly supervised during operation and never allow children to play with the
washing machine -there is arisk thatthey can lockthemselves inside it.
• Ensure that children or small animals do not climb into the washing
machine's drum.
• When disposing of washing machines pull out the mains plug, destroy
the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and dispose of the
plug and remaining cable. This means that playing children cannot
shut themselves in and cannot encounter a potentially lethal hazard.
General Safety
• Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified
personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause
injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service
Force Centre.
• Never operate the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or
the control panel, work top or base area are damaged allowing internal components to be accessible.
• Switch off the appliance and isolate from the mains supply before
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.
• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply and shut off the tap.
• Do not use the mains cable to pull the plug out of the socket.
• Adapters and extension cables must not be used. There is a danger of overheating!
• Do not clean the washing machine with a water jet. There is a danger
of electrical shock!
• During high temperature wash programmes, the glass of the door
may become hot. Do not touch!
• Allow the water to cool down before cleaning the drain pump, carrying out emergency emptying or opening the door in an emergency.
• Small animals/pets can chew on power cables and water hoses. This
can cause the danger of an electrical shock to the animal and water
damage to the appliance and property. Keep small animals away from
the appliance.

2Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material!
Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakkaging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable.
• Plastic parts are identified with internationally standardised abbreviations:
>PE<for polyethylene, e.g. packing films.
>PS<for polystyrene, e.g. cushion parts (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.
Disposing of your old appliance!
When you put your unit out of operation one day, please bring it to
your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.
2Environmental Tips
• You do not need to use a pre wash cycle or soak for washing with average soiling. This saves detergent, water and time (and protects the
environment).
• When loaded to the capacities indicated the washing machine is especially efficient.
• For small loads, use only one half to two thirds of the recommended
quantity of detergent.
• By pre-treating stains and marks you will be able to wash at a lower
temperature.
• It is often possible to wash without using softener. Give it a try! If
you use a drier, your washing will be soft and fluffy even without a
softener.
• For medium to high water hardness (from hardness range II, see “Detergents and Conditioners”) you should use water softener. The
detergent can then always be dosed as for hardness range I (= soft).

This chapter describes how to set a large number of functions and combine them with each other using only a few control elements (1 control
knob and 4 buttons). This simple control method is made easy thanks to
the interactive display.
Interactive means that the washing machine display changes to reflect
each step you have entered. This ensures that only those settings that
make sense are made.
You are able to see the current settings at any time in the information
panel and in the symbol row.
We recommend that you take particular note of this chapter in order to
quickly familiarise yourself with the controls.

Press the control knob to
switch the appliance on and
off.
When the appliance is
switched on the control
knob will pop up from its
flush position.
To turn off the appliance,
press the control knob back to its flush position.
3To cancel any programme settings that were made previously, please
wait approx. 3 seconds after switching off the appliance before you
switch it on again.
Cancelling settings
If you would like to cancel settings that were accidentally made previously, switch off the appliance by pressing the control knob and after
approx. 3 seconds switch it back on. You are now able to make new settings.

Wash programmes
LINEN/EASY-CARE
Wash programme (20 °C to 60 °C) for cottons/
coloureds (cotton/linen), easy-care (mixed fabrics, e.g. cotton/polyester) and synthetics. The appliance adjusts the programme according to the
different fabric types and load sizes. If the wash
load is predominantly cotton/linen, the programme is set for cottons/coloureds. If it consists
mainly of synthetics, the easy-care programme is
selected. If the load to be washed contains easy-care only, do not load
more than 2.5 kg in order to avoid excessive creasing of the laundry.

Gentle wash programme which washes at 40 °C for fine and delicate
fabrics. Important: Place padded lingerie in a washing net or bag.
40°-60° MIX
Programme for coloureds when various wash temperatures are indicated for the items to be washed. Various items which according to the
care labels are usually washed separately at 40 °C or 60 °C can be
washed together in the 40°-60° MIX programme. In this way the drum
capacity is better used and energy is saved as a result. Due to the extended wash time a wash result the same as that as for a normal 60°C
programme is achieved.
EASY IRON
Wash programme which washes at 40 °C for easy-care fabrics which
after being washed using this programme need to be ironed only lightly
or not at all.
REFRESH
An approx. 20-minute-long wash programme which washes at 30 °C
for quick washing of items such as lightly soiled sportswear that has
been worn only once.
