Whoever thinks ecologically also acts ecologically ....
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.

Page 6
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
Page 9
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".

Page 14
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.
Due to differences in the fabric and in the amount loaded, a lower
3
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

Preparing the washing cycle
Sorting out and preparing washing
• Sort out washing according to the type and care symbol (see "Types
of washing and care symbols").
• Empty the pockets.
• Remove any metal parts (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
• To prevent washing from getting damaged and forming bundles:
close zips, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, tie up loose straps
such as from aprons.
• Turn clothes made from double layer fabric inside out (e.g. anoraks,
sleeping bags).
• For knitted coloured fabrics as well as woollens and fabrics with
appliqué: turn inside out.
• Put small and delicate pieces (baby socks, tights) in a washing net, a
pillow case with zip or in larger socks.
• Handle curtains with special care. Remove metal strips or plastic fins
or tie them in a net or a bag.
We accept no liability for damages.
• Keep coloureds and whites separately in different washing cycles,
otherwise whites will turn grey.
• New coloured fabric often contains excess dyes. Wash this laundry
separately for the first time.
• Mix small and large pieces of washing! This improves the
effectiveness of the wash and the washing is distributed better when
spinning.
• Shake out washing before putting it into the machine.
• Unfold the washing before putting it into the drum.
Types of washing and care symbols
The care symbols help to choose the correct washing program. The
washing should be sorted according to the type and care symbol.
The temperature specifications in the care symbols are always
maximum specifications.
18
Page 19
Preparing the washing cycle
Cottons I
Fabrics made of cotton and linen with this care symbol are not sensitive
towards mechanical strain and high temperatures. The COTTONS/LINEN
program is suitable for this type of washing.
Linens G C
Fabrics made of cotton and linen with this care symbol are not sensitive
towards mechanical strain. The COTTONS/LINEN program is suitable for
this type of washing.
Easy care washing D H
Fabrics such as finished cottons, cotton mixtures and synthetics with
this care symbol require a softer mechanical treatment. The EASY
CARES program is suitable for this type of washing.
Delicates D
Fabrics such as layered fabrics, microfibres, synthetics, curtains with this
care symbol require a
very gentle treatment. The DELICATES program is suitable for this type
of washing.
Woollens and very delicate types of washing 9 ? B
Fabrics such as wool, wool mixtures or silk with this care symbol react
very sensitively to mechanical stress. The WOOLLENS program is
suitable for this type of washing.
Woollens with 9 (wool mark) may only be washed in the washing
machine if they bear the addition "does not felt" or "suitable for
machine washing".
Fabrics with the care symbol 8 (Hand washing) or @ (Do not wash!)
may not be washed in the washing machine!
Please follow care instructions "wash separately" and "wash separately
several times"!
Washing powders and conditioners
Which washing powder and conditioner?
Only use washing powders and fabric softeners suitable for washing
machine use. As a general rule follow the instructions of the producers.
19
Page 20
Preparing the washing cycle
How much washing powder and fabric softener?
The amount to be used depends on
• the load:
If the washing powder producer does not make any specifications for
small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads only
use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a full
load.
• the degree of soiling of the washing:
For only slightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the
instructions of the washing powder producer and load.
• on the degree of hardness of the tap water:
The harder the water, the higher the dosage! You will find the
quantities to use according to water hardness on the washing powder
packaging.
Liquid detergent
Add liquid detergent using the measuring cup provided by the
detergent industry. Please follow the instructions on the package.
Using a water softener
For a medium to high degree of water hardness (from water hardness
area II) water softener should be used. Follow the manufacturers
instructions! Then always dose detergent for hardness area I (= soft).
You can find information about the local degree of water hardness
from your water utility.
20
As the water softener has to be added before the main detergent (pre-
2
softening of the water), 80% of the water softener otherwise needed is
sufficient.

0 Regularly check if there are deposits or foreign bodies in the rubber
sleeve behind the door and remove them if applicable.
Precautionary measures in the event of a risk of frost
Damages caused by frost are not covered by the warranty! If the
3
washing machine is in a room with a risk of freezing, in the event of a
risk of freezing, an emergency emptying has to be done (see "Executing
an emergency emptying"). Additionally:
0 Unscrew the inlet hose from the tap and place it on the floor.

What to do when…
The somewhat different, in comparison to older
3
washing machines, whistling noise during spinning is
due to the modern drive system.

If the washing results are not satisfactory
If the washing is gray and scale has built up 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.
34
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 such spots as quickly as
possible and use the 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 washing. Perhaps you should turn the washing inside
out before washing in future. Reconsider choice of detergent,
possibly use liquid detergent.

What to do when…
Perform emergency drain
1 Warning! Switch off the washing machine before an emergency drain!
If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water then an
emergency drain must be performed.
Attention! The water which runs out of the emergency draining hose
can be hot. There is a danger of scolding! Before an emergency drain
first allow the water to cool down!
0 Have a flat container on hand to catch the water running out.
0 Fold down and remove the flap on the
left of the base cover.
0 Undo the emergency drain hose from the
mounting.
0 Pull the emergency drain hose
out a little.
0 Place the container under the hose.
0 Undo and remove the emergency
drain hose end plug by turning it in
an anti-clockwise direction.
The water runs out. Depending on the
amount of water it may be necessary
to empty the container several times.
Temporarily close the emergency
drain hose again with the end plug.
When the water is completely drained:
0 Press the end stop firmly back into the emergency drain hose.
0 Push the emergency drain hose back in a little and allow it to snap into
the mounting.
0 Put on the flap and close.
The ECO valve does not function when the machine has been fully
3
emptied. Therefore add approx. 1liter of water before the next wash
(pour in through the detergent drawer).

What to do when…
Clean circulation pump
1 Warning! Switch the washing machine off prior to cleaning the
circulation pump!
0 Next perform an emergency drain (see section above "Perform
emergency drain").
0 Lay a cloth on the floor in front of the circulation pump cover. Some
water may run out.
0 Undo the cover on the circulation pump
in an anti-clockwise direction and

What to do when…
Water cooling or additional rinse necessary
The washing machine is set up for extremely low water consumption. It
can, however, be necessary to allow the water to cool prior to pumping
out in order to prevent damage to plastic waste pipes (water cooling).
For people who suffer from an allergy to detergents, it can be helpful
to rinse with more water (additional rinse). This can be adjusted using
the More Water Switch:
Position 1: Water Cooling
The water is cooled prior to pumping out at the end of the main
washing cycle (by adding cold water). (This setting is only effective for
COTTON/LINEN with a temperature above 40 °C.)
Position 2: Water Cooling with Additional Rinse
The water is cooled as in position 1, in addition (except for WOOL) an
additional rinse is performed.
As supplied the More Water Switch is set to position 0.
The program duration and water consumption are increased by water
3
cooling and an additional rinse.
Make the adjustment:
0 Pull out the detergent drawer until the More
Water Switch is accessible in the frame on the left.
0 Set the More Water Switch to
1 (water cooling) or
2 (water cooling and additional rinse).

Program lock
In order to protect a program setting from being accidentally changed
(e.g. turning the program selector, pressing extra keys, etc.), you can set
the program lock. For example, this prevents playing children from
damaging your washing.
The program lock can also be set and deactivated whilst a program is
3
running.
Set the program lock:
0 Set the desired program.
0 Press the START/PAUSE button.
0 Keep the PRE WASH and SOAKING button pressed down simultaneously
for 5 seconds. The program progress display flashes for five seconds; the
program lock is set.
If an attempt is made during the washing cycle to change the setting
selected by pressing a button, the program progress display flashes for
five seconds.
If an attempt is made to change the setting selected by turning the
program selector, the program progress display flashes until the
program selector is reset to its original setting. The washing cycle is not
affected in either case.
As long as the program lock is set you cannot make any other settings.
3
The door cannot be opened with the DOOR/LIGHT button. Also after the
washing cycle has finished you first have to deactivate the program
lock before you can open the door.
Deactivating the program lock:
0 Keep the PRE WASH and SOAKING buttons pressed simultaneously for
five seconds. The program progress display flashes for five seconds,
after this it lights up continuously for five seconds; the program lock is
deactivated.
If the program selector is altered during a washing cycle, with the
program lock activated, the program progress display flashes:
0 If this happens turn the program selector back to its original position.
The program progress display stops flashing and is constantly
illuminated.
0 Deactivate the program lock.

Service
.
In the chapter "Troubleshooting" some disturbances have been
summarised, which you can solve yourself. If you do not find any
helpful information there, please contact your local Customer Service
Centre. Addresses and phone numbers can be found in the separate
“Guarantee Conditions/Service Departments“ (supplied with the
appliance).
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 E/PNC number and the F number. They are both on
the type plate behind the door of your washing machine.
E/PNC no.......................
F n. .......................
If possible establish:
• How is the disturbance evident?
• Under what circumstances does the disturbance
occur?
• Does the multi-display issue an error message?
(( and a number)?
40
When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?
– if you could have solved the disturbance yourself with the help of the
Troubleshooting table (see section "Troubleshooting "),
– if the customer service engineer has to make several journeys because
he did not receive all the necessary important information before his
visit and now e.g. has to fetch spares. You can avoid these extra trips
by preparing your telephone call properly in the way described above
