OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety
The safety standards of AEG electric appliances are in keeping with the
recognised rules of technology and the law governing the safety of
appliances. Nevertheless as a manufacturer we are committed to familiarise you with the following safety instructions:
Prior to initial start-up
• Observe the "Installation and Connection Instructions" below in
these user instructions.
• If the appliance is delivered during the winter and temperatures are
below freezing, allow the appliance to stand at room temperature for
24 hours before operation
Intended use
• The washing machine is intended exclusively for the washing of normal household washing in the home. If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intended, or if it is improperly operated, the
manufacturer can assume no liability for damages which may occur.
• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly forbidden due to safety reasons.
• Use only those detergents which are suitable for the washing
machine. Observe instructions provided by the detergent manufacturer.
• Laundry to be washed may not contain any flammable solvents. This
must also be taken into consideration when washing pre-washed
laundry.
• Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.
• Dyes and bleaches may only be used in the washing machine if such
use has been expressly endorsed by the manufacturer of these products. We can assume no liability for damages which may occur.
• Use tap water only. Rain water and industrial water may only be used
if they fulfil requirements in accordance with DIN1986 and DIN1988.
• Damage due to frost is not covered by the guarantee! If the washing
machine is located in a room in which below freezing temperatures
might occur, emergency draining must be carried out if danger of
freezing occurs (see "Emergency Draining"). Furthermore, the inlet
hose must be disconnected from the tap and laid on the floor.

Operating instructions
Safety of children
• Packaging materials (e.g. sheet and Styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of asphyxiation! Keep packaging materials at a safe
distance from children.
• Children are often unable to recognise the dangers involved with
electrical appliances. Provide for proper supervision during operation,
and do not allow children to play with the washing machine – the
danger exists that a child might lock itself into the appliance.
• Make certain that children or small animals do not climb into the
drum of the washing machine.
• If the washing machine needs to be disposed of, remove the mains
plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the electrical cable and dispose of
the plug and remaining cable separately. In this way children are prevented from locking themselves in and are not exposed life threatening danger.
General Safety
• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by trained
personnel. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If
repairs are required, contact customer service or your dealer.
• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the
control panel, the work surface, or the plinth are damaged to such an
extent that components inside the machine are openly accessible.
• Switch off the washing machine before cleaning, maintenance and
servicing. In addition, unplug from the mains or – in the case of permanent connection – pull the circuit breaker, or completely remove
screw type fuses.
• Never remove the mains plug by pulling on the cable. Always grip the
plug.
• Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used.
This could constitute a safety hazard!
• Do not clean the washing machine with a jet of water. There is a risk
of electric shock!
• When high temperature washing programs are selected, the glass in
the door becomes hot. Do not touch!
• Leave the water in the machine to cool down before performing an
emergency drain or cleaning the circulation pump.
• Small animals may gnaw at electrical power cables and water hoses.
There is a risk of electric shock and damage from water leaks! Keep
small animals away from the washing machine.

2 Disposal
Dispose of the packaging!
Dispose of washing machine packaging materials properly. All packaging materials are environmentally sound and can be safely disposed of,
or burned in a refuse incineration plant.
The plastic parts can be reused:
• The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of polyethylene (marking >PE<).
• The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene
(marking >PS<).
Corrugated components are made from recycled paper and should be
disposed of at a paper recycling station.
Dispose of your old appliance!
If, at some point in time, the service life of the appliance has expired,
please take it to your nearest recycling centre, or to your appliance
dealer, who will accept the old appliance for a minimal fee.
2 Environmental protection tips
• No pre-wash is required for normally soiled washing. This saves you
detergent, water and time (and is good for the environment!).
• If the indicated load capacities are taken full advantage of, the washing machine is especially efficient.
• For small loads, use only one half to one third of the recommended
detergent quantity.
• Stains and soiling confined to given areas can be removed by means
of appropriate pre-treatment. You can then wash at lower temperatures.
• Wash lightly to medium soiled cottons with the energy saving program.
• Softeners are often not required. Try it! If you use a dryer, your washing will be soft and fluffy, even without softeners.
• A water softener should be used for water within a hardness range of
mid to high (as of hardness level II, see "Detergents and Conditioners"). Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness level I
(= soft).

Operating instructions
Before Washing for the First Time
0 1. Pull the detergent drawer out from the control panel a little.
2. Pour around 1 litre of water into the washing machine via the detergent drawer. This will ensure when the washing machine is started that
the water container is closed and that the ECO valve can function correctly.
3. Perform a washing cycle without any washing, position 2 (MAIN WASH)
95, with half the normal dose of detergent.
This serves to remove residues resulting from production of the appliance from the drum and the water container.

Operating instructions
Prepare washing cycle
Sort washing and prepare
• Sort washing according to care symbol and type (see "Washing types
and care symbols").
• Empty all pockets.
• Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
• In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing,
close zippers, button up duvets and pillow cases, and tie up loose
ends from, for example, aprons.
• Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
• Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and textiles with appliqués
should be turned inside out.
• Place small and delicate articles (baby booties, stockings, bras etc.)
into a washing net, a pillow case with zipper, or in large socks before
washing.
• Treat net curtains particularly carefully. Remove metal curtain rail
rollers or burred plastic rollers, or wrap these in a net or bag.
We cannot accept any liability for damage.
• Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing
will otherwise turn grey.
• New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these
items separately the first time.
• Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing effi-
ciency, and the washing is more favourably distributed during the
spin cycle.
• Fluff washing before placing into the washing machine.
• Do not place folded washing into the drum.
• Observe tips for proper care such as "wash separately" and "wash sep-
arately several times"!.

Washing Types and Care Symbols
Care symbols assist in the selection of the correct washing program.
Washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The temperatures indicated in the care symbols are maximum temperatures.
Cottons ç
Cotton and linen fabrics with this care symbol are resistant to the
mechanical action of the washing machine and high temperatures. The
t (COTTONS/LINEN) program is suitable for this type of washing.
Linen èë
Cotton and linen fabrics with this care symbol are resistant to the
mechanical action of the washing machine. The t (COTTONS/LINEN)
program is suitable for this type of washing.
Easy-care washing êíî
Fabrics such as treated cottons, cotton mixtures and synthetics with
this care symbol need careful handling. The } (EASY-CARES) program
is suitable for this type of washing.
Delicates ì
Fabrics such as those with layered fibres, micro-fibres, as well as synthetics and net curtains with this care symbol need particularly careful handling. The à (DELICATES) program is suitable for this type of
washing.
Woollens and particularly delicate washing 9 ì
Fabrics such as woollens, wool mixtures and silk with this care symbol
are particularly delicate in respect of the mechanical action of the
washing machine. The s (WOOLLENS) program is suitable for this type
of fabrics.
Important! Fabrics with the
ï (hand washing) or ñ (do not wash!)
care symbols must not be washed in the washing machine!

Operating instructions
Detergent and conditioner
Which detergent and conditioner?
Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in
washing machines. Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
How much detergent and conditioner?
The required quantity depends upon:
• the amount of washing
If the detergent manufacturer does not include dosing instructions for
2
reduced loads, use one third less for half loads and only half of the full
load detergent quantity for very small loads.
• extent of soiling of the washing
• hardness of tap water
Observe instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent and
conditioner manufacturer.
Using Water Softener
In the case of medium to very hard water (from hardness band II) water
softener should be used. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions! Then
always use detergent dosing for hardness band I (= soft). Information
on the hardness of the water in your area is provided by your local
water board.
16
Due to the fact that the water softener is added before the main wash
2
detergent (pre-softening of the water), only eighty percent of the
quantity of water softener indicated on the package is required.
Information on Water Hardness
Hardness Band
I – soft 0 – 7 to 1.3
II – medium-hard 7 – 14 1.3 – 2.5
III – hard 14 – 21 2.5 – 3.8
IV – very hard greater than 21 greater than 3.8

What to do when…
The somewhat different, in comparison to older wash-
3
ing machines, whistling noise during spinning is due to
the modern drive system.
A rattling sound on startup – in particular when using
for the first time – is caused by the circulation pump
and is due to the design.
Trouble Shooting

If the washing results are not satisfactory
32
If the washing is grey and there are calcium deposits in the drum
• Too little detergent was used.
• The wrong detergent was used.
• Special soiling was not pre-treated.
• Program or temperature not set correctly.
• When using component detergents, the individual components were
not used in the correct proportions.
Page 33
Operating instructions
If there are still gray stains on the washing
• Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with too
little detergent.
• Too lower temperature was used for washing.
• A common cause is that softener – particularly that in concentrated
form – has got onto the washing. Wash out any such spots as quickly
as possible and use that particular softener carefully.
If at the end of the last rinse foam is still visible
• Modern detergents can cause foam also in the last rinse. The washing
is however sufficiently rinsed.
If there are white remnants on the washing
• This is an insoluble material contained in modern detergents.
This is not the result of unsatisfactory rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. Perhaps you should turn the washing
inside out before washing in future. Reconsider choice of detergent,
possibly use liquid detergent.

Installation and Connection Instructions
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Installation Safety Precautions
• Do not tip the washing machine on its front or left side (seen from
the front). Electrical components could become wet!
• Check the washing machine for transport damage. You should never
connect a damaged appliance. In the event of damage consult your
dealer.
• Ensure that all parts of the transport bracing have been removed and
that the appliance is water splash protected, see "Removing Transport
Bracing". Otherwise the appliance or neighbouring units may be
damaged during spinning.
• The plug may only be inserted into a properly installed earthed
socket. Extension cables, multiway plugs or adapters may not be used.
• In the case of permanent connection, means must be provided to
enable the appliance to be fully isolated from the mains through the
fitting of an isolation device in the electrical installation (fuse, circuit
breaker, earth leakage trip or the like) that has a contact separation
of at least 3 mm. Permanent connection may only be carried out by
an authorised electrician.
• Before using your appliance for the first time, please ensure that the
nominal voltage and type of current specified on the type plate are
the same as those used at the place where the appliance is installed.
Please also refer to the type plate for the type of fuse to be used.
• If the washing machine is built-in by removing the worktop, an
earthed cover plate must be installed for protection against touching
prior to using for the first time.
• If the washing machine is built under a worktop, the mains plug must
remain accessible once the machine has been correctly positioned.
• Prior to carrying out modifications on the appliance (on the worktop
or front door) pull out the mains plug.
• The mains lead may only be replaced by the customer service or by an
authorised electrician.

Transporting the appliance
• Do not lay the washing machine on the front or on the left side (seen
from the front); otherwise the electrical components could become
wet!
• Never transport the appliance without transportation protection.
Remove the protection only at the place of installation! Transportation without protection can lead to damages to the appliance.
• Neither lift the appliance by an open door nor by the base.
• The appliance weighs approx. 85kg.
• By transportation with a trolley: Place the trolley only sidewise.
40
Page 41
Installation and Connection Instructions
Remove transportation protection
Attention! Be absolutely certain that all shipping braces have been
removed before installing the appliance.
Store all shipping braces in a safe place in case they are required for
future transport (moving).
Special spanner H and cover caps E (2 off) and G (1 off) are supplied
3
with the appliance.
0 1. Remove flexible tubing holder A.
2. Remove the two screws B with special spanner H.
3. Remove the four screws C.

41
Page 42
Installation and Connection Instructions
Prepare the installation place
• The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor wax and
other smearing substances, so that the appliance does not slip off. Do
not use any lubricant as sliding aid.
• Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs
is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is
then no longer ensured.
• By installation surfaces with small-format tiles, lay a conventional
rubber mat underneath.
• Small unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by
laying pieces of wood, carton or similar elements, but rather basically
compensated by adjusting the screw feet.
• When it is unavoidable to install the appliance besides a gas or a
coal-fuelled cooker, due to spatial reasons: insert a piece of heatinsulating board (85 x 57 cm) between the cooker and the washing
machine; the board side facing the cooker must be provided with an
aluminium foil.
• The washing machine may not be installed in a frost-endangered
room. Frost-caused damages!
• Flexible feed and drain tubings may not be crinkled or squeezed.
Installation on a concrete base
When installing on a concrete base,
for safety reasons it is imperative
that steel plates are installed, the
washing machine is then installed
in these plates. The steel plates are
available from customer service
under ET-No. 645 425 058.
Installation on vibrating floors
In the case of floors that vibrate, especially wooden floors with floorboards that flex, a water-proof wooden panel of at least 15 mm thickness must be firmly screwed to at least 2 floor beams. If possible, install
the appliance in a corner of the room: the wooden floor is more firmly
supported in the corners and thus has less tendency to resonant vibration.
42
Page 43
Installation and Connection Instructions
Levelling on uneven floors
Using the four adjustable threaded feet, compensation can be made for
unevenness in the floor and the height of the appliance adjusted. The
height can be adjusted over the range +10... -5 mm.
To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied for removing the
transport braces.
0 1. Slide the special key firmly onto the hexagon head of the threaded foot
all the way to the stop.
2. Adjust the threaded feet so that the appliance is level and sits stably.
The appliance must not rock across the corners when operating under
load.
3. If necessary, check positioning with a spirit level.
Important! Never compensate for small areas of unevenness in the
floor through the use of wooden wedges, cardboard or the like. Levelling should only ever be performed by adjusting the feet.
43
Page 44
Installation and Connection Instructions
Power supply
Details on the mains voltage,
type of current and the necessary fuse protection are to be
found on the rating plate. The
rating plate is above and
behind the door.
For permanent electrical connection within the electrical
circuit, provisions must be made which allow for electrical disconnection of the appliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least
3 mm at all poles. Suitable devices include circuit breakers, fuses
(threaded fuses must be entirely removed from the socket), ground
fault circuit interrupters and contactors. Permanent connection may
only be carried out by an authorised electrician.

Installation and Connection Instructions
2. Connect the straight hose connector to a water tap
with an R 3/4 (inch) thread.
Attention! Only tighten the plastic nuts on the
hose connectors by hand.
3. By opening the water tap slowly prior to the initial
operation, check whether the connection is tight.
Water drain-off
The drain-off tubing can be connected either to a siphon or be hanged
in a washing or sink basin or in a bathtub.
For extension (max. 3 m floor length and up to 80 cm high) only original tubing may be used. The customer service supplies drain-off tubing
of 2.7 and 4m lengths.
Water drain-off inside a siphon
The spout at the end of the tubing fits all common siphon types.
0 Make the connection spout/siphon secure with a tubing clip.
Water drain-off inside a basin
For hanging in a wash basin, sink or bath,
the drain hose must be prevented from
moving using the detachable elbow supplied.
The tube could otherwise be pushed out of
the basin by the reactive force imparted by
draining water.
Small sink basins are not suitable!
0 Fasten the elbow on the water tap or on
the wall by means of the hole.
Delivery heights above 1m
Every washing machine is provided with a suds pump for draining the
washing/rinsing suds, which can deliver liquids via the drain-off tubing
up to a height of 1m, measured from the standing level of the machine.
For delivery heights above 1m please establish contact with the AEG
customer service.

Installation and Connection Instructions
Incorporating in Kitchens (Built-In)
To build-in your washing machine you will need the Built-In Installation Kit (E No. 605 898 832).
Protection Against Touching Under Work Surfaces
Warning! When the appliance is built-in, the top of the appliance must
1
be fitted with an earthed sheet metal cover (E No. 605 898 832). Only
then may the washing machine be connected to the mains and put into
use.
Free-standing models can be built-in underneath the work surface
after removal of the worktop fitted to the appliance. This results in the
height of the appliance being reduced to 82cm (see "Appliance Dimensions").
Removing the Worktop
0 1. Remove the screws (1) on the rear of the
appliance.
2. Pull the worktop to the rear to the stop (2)
and lift off.
3. Press in the catches on the guides (3) and
remove the guides by twisting (4).
48
Page 49
Installation and Connection Instructions
Fitting and Earthing the Sheet Metal Cover
0 1. Insert the cover from behind, fitting the
slots in the worktop brackets (5), and
slide forwards.
Important! The four metal tags must
slide underneath the mounting plate at
the front (6).
2. Screw the cover in place using the serrated lock washers (7) and screws (8)
included in the built-in installation kit.
Warning! It is essential that the screws
1
(8) are earthed and secured through the
serrated lock washers (7).
Water Vapour Protection for Work Surfaces
The built-in installation kit includes a piece of protective foil for protecting the work surface around the switch panel and the detergent
drawer from water vapour.
When applying, ensure that the edge of the foil is exactly aligned with
the front edge of the work surface.
Sliding Rails
Sliding rails on the left and right provide assistance when sliding the
appliance into the niche and prevent the floor being damaged.
Sliding rails are included in the built-in installation kit.
49
Page 50
Installation and Connection Instructions
Connections For Built-In Appliances
The water feed, drain and mains power connections must always be to
the side of the appliance. There is no room for these connections
behind the appliance. The connections must remain accessible for
servicing purposes even when the appliance is installed.
In the above figure you can see an example of how the appliance
should be installed when built-in. It must always be possible to isolate
the appliance from the mains and it must be possible to shut the water
tap.
The particular situation at the place where the appliance is to be
installed, the position of existing supply connections, and also any
national or local connection regulations will define the actual installation.
For Correct and Safe Guidance of the Hoses:
0 1. Prior to pushing the machine into the niche, screw retaining straps to
the left and right of the rear wall and use them to fasten the hoses and
mains cable.
2. When pushing the appliance into a niche between units, first pass the
hoses and mains cable through the plinth of the unit and then pull
them through progressively as the appliance is pushed into place. During this process it is imperative that the hoses are laid without kinks.
Important! Under no circumstance is the machine to be screwed to the
work surface above it or to neighbouring units. Vibration will be transferred!

Incorporating in Kitchens with 90cm High
Work Surfaces
A special base is used to adapt the height of the appliance, this is to be
provided by the kitchen manufacturer.
Dimensions: Width x Height x Depth = 600 x 50 x 490mm.
Material: work surface 30, 33 or 40mm thick, normally coated, with
reinforcing (if possible made of solid wood) to create a platform
40-50mm high. The reinforcement should be in the form of a frame to
make it easier to compensate for unevenness in the floor. Two holes
(diameter 8-10mm) are required on the left and right for fixing the
base to the floor using plugs and screws. For safety reasons it is recommended to also fit a 5-10mm high edge to the front of the base.

SERVICE
If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the section
"What to do when ..." in these user instructions. If you do not find any
applicable instructions there, contact your customer service centre.
(Addresses and telephone number can be found in the "Service Departments" section.)
Be well prepared before you phone. This facilitates the diagnosis and
the decision as to whether a customer service visit is necessary. With
our checklist you can gather important information before making
your call:
Make a note of the PNC number
and the S-number.
Both of these number can be
found on the rating plate on the
inside of the door of your washing
machine.
......................................................
PNC
......................................................
S-No.
In addition to this please establish if possible:
• How is the malfunction noticeable ?
• Under what circumstances does the malfunction occur?
Service
You will be charged even during the warranty period
– if you could have corrected the malfunction yourself with the help of
the malfunctions table (see "What to do when ..." section),
– if the customer service technician is required to make several trips
because he had not received all relevant information before his visit,
and must return, for example, to pick up replacement parts. This
additional driving can be avoided if your telephone call is well prepared, as described above.
