Warnings
– Follow the instructions for installation and electrical connection.
– Do not connect the appliance if it is damaged (for example dur-
ing transport).
– Any water found in the detergent dispenser drawer is there as a
result of factory testing.
– To remove any manufacturing residues from the drum and the
tub, carry out a wash cycle without any laundry, with the
machine set on the 60°C coloureds programme and with 1/2 a
measure of detergent.
AEG household electrical appliances comply with general technical safety manufacturing standards and with all safety regulations
on the use of electrical appliances. However, the manufacturer is
obliged to bring the following safety points to the attention of the
user:
– Before using the appliance, make sure that the voltage and type
of current indicated on its rating plate correspond to the mains
voltage and type of current in the place where it is to be installed.
The rating plate also gives details of the electrical protection
required.
– If the appliance is installed in a location which is not insulated
against frost, the emergency emptying procedure (see “Emergency emptying”) should be used whenever there is any risk of
the temperature dropping below zero.
– Always disconnect the appliance before cleaning it or carrying
out any maintenance. To be absolutely safe, check that the plug
is removed from the socket or that the mains switch or safety
circuit breaker are in the OFF position (see instructions for instal-
lation and electrical connection).
– Avoid spraying the appliance with water.
– Never remove the plug from the socket by pulling the cable;
always take hold of the plug itself!
– Never start the appliance if:
the power supply cable is damaged
there are obvious signs of damage in the control panel area,
to the top or along the base.
– Repairs must only be carried out by qualified persons.
Inexperienced repairs can seriously endanger the user.
Always contact the Service Centre or an authorized dealer. Only
genuine AEG spares comply with all standards!

Warnings
115
– Do not allow children to play with the appliance and keep pets
well away from it.
– For safety, when disposing of the appliance make sure that the
door catch is inoperative and cut off the power supply cable.
– The Manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by
incorrect or improper use of the appliance for purposes for
which it was not originally designed.
– Never put your hands in the drum whilst it is still rotating.
– Never touch the glass in the porthole door when the appliance
is being used on a high-temperature programme; the glass gets
very hot and can cause burns.
– There is a danger of scalding if the porthole door or filter cover
are opened during operation.
– The water drain hose must be properly fixed to avoid any risk of
scalding or flooding.
– In the event of a fault, close the mains water taps and discon-
nect the appliance from the power supply by pulling out the plug
or switching the safety circuit breaker (or breakers) to the OFF
position.
– Keep packaging materials away from children, especially cello-
phane which is particularly dangerous.
– If washing garments which have previously been dry cleaned,
first make sure that any remaining inflammable solvents have
completely evaporated.
– If the appliance is to be connected to a rainwater or other simi-
lar source of water instead of the mains water supply, follow the
Water Board regulations.

The Manufacturer accepts no responsibility for accidents
resulting from failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
The AEG ÖKO-System / Ecological hints
SYSTEM
–
ÖKO
MADE IN GERMANY
This new machine is part of AEG’s ÖKO-System range, which
meets all requirements for modern handling of laundry with
reduced consumption of water, energy and detergent.
This is a rinsing and spinning process developed by AEG which
ensures the best washing results with reduced water consumption.
The automatic metering device automatically regulates the amount
of water used according to the size of load and type of fabric.
The drum is fitted with special paddles which keep the water moving upwards. In this way, the laundry is soaked more evenly and
faster.
Preliminary softening of the water, achieved by means of a twostage device for dispensing the softener and detergent, ensures
ecological operation even in very hard water areas.
All the materials used for packaging are non-polluting! They may
be disposed of quite safely.
Plastic materials can be recycled and are marked with the following symbols:
>PE< polyethylene
>PS< polystyrene
>PP< polypropylene

information
You are advised to dispose of all cardboard packaging in special
paper collection containers so that it can be recycled.

Ecological
suggestions for
economical
washing
For medium soiling, use programmes without prewash. This
will save detergent and water.
Always wash full loads for maximum savings.
Use the “ENERGY SAVING” (Economy) programme for normally or lightly soiled cottons and coloureds.
For best results, even at low temperatures, remove individual
stains from laundry before washing.
Use minimum amounts of detergent. Follow the instructions on
the pack.

Installation instructions
All transit devices must be removed before installing and
connecting the appliance.
Proceed as follows:
Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt.
back
P0255
Lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses.
This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces
between the machine and the floor.
Remove the polystyrene base and take off the bottom panel by
unscrewing the central screw.

Hint:
Keep all transit devices for re-use in case you move house.
The machine stands on four adjustable rubber feet which can be
used to compensate any unevenness in the floor or to adjust the
machine to the correct height.
P0254
Positioning
121
Lock the feet in position by fully tightening up the locknuts.
P0509
The appliance must be level and resting on all four feet. It must not
tilt when pressure is exerted on one side only. If necessary, use a
spirit level to check that it is perfectly level.
The floor must be clean, dry and free of any wax residue or other
polish to prevent any risk of sliding. Never use viscous substances
to move the appliance by sliding it across the floor!
It is inadvisable to stand the appliance on long pile carpet or rugs
or on layers of foam rubber, as this could make it unstable. Place
a rubber mat beneath the appliance if the floor is made of very
small tiles.
If the appliance is to be placed on non-solid flooring, especially
made of wooden joists and flexible boards, a waterproof wood
panel, 15 mm thick, must be secured with screws to at least two
of the floor joists. If possible, the machine should be placed in a
corner of the room, as this is where the joists are most firmly fixed
and have less tendency to flex.
Never use wedges of wood, cardboard or other similar materials to
compensate for unevenness in the floor.
If space is tight and you cannot avoid placing the machine next to
a gas oven or coal burning stove, a sheet of insulating material
(85 x 57 cm), covered with aluminium foil on the side facing the
oven or stove, must be fitted between the two appliances.

This appliance has been designed to be built into the kitchen furniture.
The recess should have the dimensions shown in picture A.

The machine is originally pre-arranged for the assembly of a door
opening from right to left.
In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and the
counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at the right level
(Fig. B).
