1 Safety instructions
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:
General safety
•Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified personnel. As a result of incorrect repairs considerable dangers for the user may result. Please contact our customer service department or an authorised AEG dealer in the event of repairs being necessary.
•Never start the washing machine if the mains flex is damaged or the control panel, work top or base area are so damaged that the inside of the washing machine is accessible.
•Switch off the washing machine before carrying out any cleaning, care and maintenance work! You can make totally sure by pulling the mains plug out of the socket or - if permanently connected – by switching off the fuse switch in the fuse box or by unscrewing the plug fuse right out.
•Multiway plugs, joints and extension cables must not be used. There is risk of overheating!
•Never use the flex to pull the plug out of the socket but pull the actual plug.
•Do not spray the washing machine with a water jet – danger of an electric shock!
•During washing programs at a high temperature, the glass of the door heats up. Do not touch!
•Allow the suds to cool down before cleaning the pump, carrying out emergency emptying or opening the door in an emergency.
•Small animals can nibble at power cables and water hoses. Electric shock hazard and danger of damages from water!
Installation, connection and initial operation
•Please follow the separate Installation and connection instructions.
•Run the first washing cycle without washing (COTTONS 95, with half the amount of washing powder) to remove residues on the drum and suds container caused during production.
5
Safety instructions
•If the machine is delivered during the winter at freezing temperatures: store the washing machine for 24 hours at room temperature before starting it.
Safety of children
•Often children are not aware of the dangers involved in handling electrical equipment. Therefore please ensure they are adequately supervised whilst the appliance is on and do not allow children to play with the washing machine – there is a risk that the children may lock themselves in the appliance.
•Packaging (e.g. plastic films, polystyrene) could be dangerous for children – danger of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
•Please make sure that children or small animals do not climb into the drum of the washing machine.
•When disposing of the washing machine pull out the plug, cut off the flex, dispose of the plug and remaining flex and destroy the door lock. This hinders children from locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
Intended use
•Only use the washing machine to wash normal domestic washing. If the washing machine is used for any other purpose or is incorrectly used, the manufacturer adopts no liability for any damages which may result.
•Conversions or changes to washing machines are not permitted due to safety reasons.
•Only use washing powder which is suitable for washing machines. Please follow the instructions of the washing powder manufacturers.
•The washing may not contain any flammable solvents.
Please observe this above all when washing prewashed laundry.
•Do not use your washing 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 liable for any damages.
•Please only use water from the mains. Only use rain or industrial water if it meets the requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988.

2 Disposal
Dispose of the packaging!
Dispose of the packaging material of your washing machine correctly. All packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any danger or burnt in the refuse incinerator. 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<).
The boxes are made from recycled paper and should be returned to the old paper collection.
Dispose of your old washing machine!
When you eventually stop using your washing machine please bring it to the nearest recycling centre or to your dealer who will take it back for a small fee.
2 Environmental tips
•For normally soiled washing you do not need a prewash. In this way you can save washing powder, water and time (and not pollute the environment!).
•The washing machine works particularly economically if you exploit the maximum loads.
•For small quantities of washing use half to two thirds of the recommended washing powder quantity.
•By suitable pretreatment stains and a certain amount of dirt can be removed. Then you can wash at a low temperature.
•Wash slightly soiled to normally soiled cottons with the energy saving program.
•Often you do not need a fabric softener. Just try it! If you use a washing machine your washing will become soft and fluffy without softener.
•For medium to high water hardness (from hardness range II, see "Washing powder and conditioners") you should use a water softener. The washing powder can then always be measured as for hardness area I (= soft).

8
The chief features of your appliance
•Automatic control with fuzzy logic: sensor regulated wash process with variable number of rinses, amount of water dependent on foam and loading, regulated spin etc. Gives the best washing and spinning results with the lowest, automatically adjusted water consumption.
•Program lock
•4 chamber drawer for detergent and conditioner: time delayed washing in of water softener, detergent and stain remover results in environmentally conscious washing and improves the effectiveness of the detergent.
•Extensive noise reduction through direct current drive and high quality noise insulation.
•ECO valve: ensures one hundred percent detergent usage by automatically closing the water container during washing
•Special rinse process to moisten quicker and rinse better
•Scooping ribs in the drum: rapid and even wetting of the washing.
•Imbalance control system: stability and quiet running.
•More Water Switch: water cooling only or water cooling with additional rinse can be set.
•Automatically adjusting foot: the rear right foot is constructed like a telescopic shock absorber. This ensures good machine stability even at high spin speeds.
What does "update mean"?
New fabrics or new detergents could, in the future, require a new washing technique (e. g. an additional rinse, more water to wash in the detergent, ...).
Your washing machine is prepared for this eventuality. The controller is fully electronic. The software in which the controller is defined can be re-programmed.
When a new stage in washing technology has been reached, you can bring your washing machine right up to date by having an "update" made.
For further information on the "update", please refer to customer service. You can also ask customer service about the costs of an "update".

12
Appliance structure
Additional program buttons
The additional program buttons are for adjusting the washing program to suit the degree of soiling of the washing. The additional programs are not necessary for normally soiled washing.
The different functions can be combined together depending on the program.
PRE WASH
Cold pre wash prior to the automatically following main washing cycle (cannot be selected with the WOOL setting).
SOAKING
Soak prior to the main washing cycle which follows automatically (1 hour at 40 °C, can be extended to a max. 19 hours, cannot be selected with the WOOL setting).
QUICK WASH
Shortened main washing cycle for lightly soiled washing.
STAIN
To treat very dirty or stained washing with stain remover (extended main washing cycle with stain remover washed in at the optimal point in the program, cannot be selected with the WOOL setting).
SPIN/rinse hold button and Multidisplay
This button changes the maximum speed for the final spin in the following steps: 1600, 1200, 1000, 800, 600 and 400 revolutions per minute. When the displays shows "0" the washing is left in the last rinse water (rinse hold).
3 The speed for the intermediate spin is dependent on the program selected and cannot be changed.
13
Appliance structure
Multidisplay for the display of MOISTURE%/LOADING%
Depending on the spin speed set, you can see the probable moisture content of the washing at the end of the program in this display. Some
fifteen minutes after the start of the program the washing machine identifies the degree of drum loading (display in 10 percent steps).
As the washing program progresses this information becomes more and more precise. Drum overloading is indicated by values above
100 percent.
As soon a value for the loading is available, the display switches between moisture and loading.
3 Due to differences in the fabric and in the amount loaded, a lower moisture value is displayed for easy-cares and delicates that for cotton-/linen.
DELAY TIMER button and Multidisplay
This button makes it possible to delay the start of a washing program from 1 to max. 19 hours.
When the SOAKING button is pressed in, the washing program starts immediately, the
soak period is lengthened by the time set,
the main washing cycle then follows automatically. The Multidisplay
–displays the duration of the program selected or the time remaining in minutes (WASH TIME illuminates at the same time); or
–it displays the time selected or time remaining until the washing program starts in hours; or
–it displays a fault code (( and a number).
