Safety instructions
The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and
with legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as manufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety notes.
General safety
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local AEGService Force Centre.
• Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or
the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components
can be reached.
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself.
• Never spray the machine with a jet of water. Danger of electric shock!
• During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get
hot. Do not touch it!
• Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or
before opening the door in an emergency.
• Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water hoses causing electrocution hazard and damage due to water leaks.
Positioning, connection, starting up
• Follow the instructions for positioning and connection.
• Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS 60, with half the
amount of detergent) in order to remove any manufacturing residue
from the tub and the drum.
• Should the machine be purchased in winter, when temperatures can
be below 0°, leave the appliance for 24 hours at ambient temperatur e
before starting it.

Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances
can be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk
that they could become trapped inside.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply
cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door
catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside
while playing.
Proper use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is
used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any possible damage that might occur .
• For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified.
• Use only detergents suitable for washing machines and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Garments which have been in contact with flammable solvents
should not be machine washed.
• Do not use your machine for dry cleaning.
• Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if specifically permitted
by the manufacturer of these products. We cannot be held responsible for any damage.
• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water tap after use.

Safety instructions
Main features of your washing machine
• Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.
• Stain programme for effectively treating stained washing.
• Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items.
• Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900-700 or 500 rpm.
• RINSE HOLD can be added: the laundry is left immersed in the final
rinse water to avoid the formation of creases.
• The possibility of selecting all the other options offered by this
machine gives you truly “customised washing”.
• Delay timer: programme start can be delayed by 1 to max. 19 hours
(e.g. to times with a more economical power rate).
• Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected
and the programme phase which is running.
• Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes
your garments with extreme care, without felting them.
• 4-compartment drawer for detergent, fabric softener and bleaching
agent.
• Unbalance detection device: secure position and silent operation of
the appliance.

Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend
that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order
to save detergent, water and time (the environment is pr otected too!).
• Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled cotton
garments.
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• If the water has a medium or high degree of hardness (starting from
degree of hardness II, see “Detergents and additives”) water softeners
must be added.
The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to degree of hardness
I (= soft).

Programme selector dial
The programme selector determines
the type of washing cycle (e.g. water

• Synthetics
• Delicates
• Wool
• Special programmes A-G and
• RESET programme

STAIN
To treat heavily soiled washing or stained washing with stain remover
(extended main wash with time optimised stain action phase, not selectable for wool and with temperatures lower than 40°C).
QUICK
By pressing this button the washing time is reduced. For use when
washing lightly soiled laundry.
This option is not available with the wool programme.
PREWASH
The machine performs a prewash cycle at 40°C max. The prewash cycle
ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics, and
with emptying of the water only for Delicates.
This option is not available with the wool programme.
For use when washing heavily soiled laundry.
Important: the STAIN, PREWASH and QUICK WASH options cannot be
selected together: one automatically disables the others.
