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).
7
The chief features of your appliance
• Program and temperature setting via the program selector.
• Four additional programs can be selected via buttons.
• Stain program for the effective treatment of stained washing.
• Energy saving program for lightly to normally soiled cottons.
• Maximum spin speed 1600 revolutions per minute,
speed for the final spin automatically adjusted to suit the program
selected:
–COTTONS/LINEN 1600 revolutions per minute
–EASY-CARES 1000 revolutions per minute
–DELICATES 1000 revolutions per minute
–WOOL 1000 revolutions per minute
• Speed for the final spin can be changed to 1200, 1000, 800, 600 or
400 revolutions per minute.
• Rinse hold can be selected: the washing is left in the water from the
last rinse, it is not spun.
• Time Delay: Program start can be delayed by 1 to max. 19 hours.
(e.g. to times with cheap electricity tariffs).
• Control panel is illuminated
• Standby mode: in order to save energy when start time delay is set
and after the end of the program, all displays on the control panel
which are not needed are switched off.
Press any button to bring the machine out of standby mode.
• 3 Multidisplays to display
–final spin speed/rinse hold
–moisture and loading in percent
–expected duration of the program or
time left until the end of the program
–time delay (start delay or time left until the start of the program),
–fault codes
• Program run display
• Aqua Control with Aqua Alarm : the very best of protection from
damage due to water leaks, with acoustic warning signal.
• Drum lighting
• Chrome port hole and door opening button
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".

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).
The speed for the intermediate spin is dependent on the program
3
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.
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
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).
