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 or carrying out emergency emptying.
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
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).

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.

Preparing the washing cycle
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.
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, micr ofibres, synthetics, curtains with this care symbol require a very gentle treatment. The DELICATES program is suitable for this type of washing.
16
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 WOOL 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"!
Page 17
Preparing the washing cycle
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.
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.
Specifications of water hardness
Water hardness
I – soft 0 - 7 up to 1,3 II – medium hard 7 - 14 1,3 - 2,5 III – hard 14 - 21 2,5 - 3,8 IV – very hard above 21 above 3,8

Page 27
Cleaning and caring
0 Clean the entire compartment area of the washing machine with a
brush.
0 Insert the detergent compartment into the guides and push it in.
Washing machine drum
The washing machine drum is made from rust-free stainless steel. Rusty foreign bodies in the washing can cause rust deposits on the drum.
Attention! Do not clean the stainless steel drum with descaling agents containing acids, scouring agents containing chlorine or iron or steel wool. Our customer service department has suitable agents available.
0 Remove rust deposits on the drum with a stainless steel cleansing
agent.
Door
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 wash-
3
ing 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.
27
Page 28
What to do, if
The somewhat different, in comparison to older wash-
3
ing machines, whistling noise during spinning is due to the modern drive system.
Trouble Shooting
In the case of a malfunction try to solve the problem with the aid of the notes given here. If you call in customer service to resolve one of the malfunctions listed here, or an error in operating the machine, the customer service engineers visit is not cost free, even during the period of guarantee.
Malfunction Possible Cause Remedy

on the water inlet hose is blocked.
The height adjustable threaded feet are not correctly adjusted.
There is only very little wash­ing in the drum (e.g. only a toweling dressing gown).
Water could not be com­pletely pumped out prior to spinning because
Drain hose is kinked or Suds pump is blocked.
Switch on the appliance (pull out program selector).
Close door, lock must e ngage audibly
Unscrew the hose from the tap, remove the sieve and clean under running water
Adjust the feet as per the installation and connection instructions.
Does not impair function.
Check the drain hose and if necessary remove any kink or clean the suds pump and remove any foreign bodies from the pump housing.
28

What to do, if
Malfunction Possible Cause Remedy
Excessive foaming dur­ing the main wash.
Water runs out from under the washing machine.
Softener is not washed in, compartment w for conditioner is full with water.
Appliance does not spin, water in the drum.
Washing is not spun properly, water is still visible in the drum.
Probably too much detergen t was used
Threaded fitting on the water inlet hose is leaking.
Drain hose is leaking.
Suds pump cover is not closed properly.
Washing is trapped in the door.
Suction cap in the compart­ment for conditioner is not correctly positioned or is blocked.
RINSE HOLD selected. Deselect RINSE HOLD.
Drain hose is kinked. Remove kink. Maximum pumping height
(drain height 1m above th e floor on which the machine is standing) exceeded.
Suds pump is blocked.
Dose detergent exactly in accordance with the manu­facturers instructions.
Tighten the water inlet hose
Check drain hose and if nec­essary replace.
Close cover properly.
Stop program, remove wash­ing from the door, start a new program.
Clean detergent drawer, place suction cap firmly in position.
Please contact customer service who have a retrofit kit for pumping to heights of greater than 1m.
Switch off the machine and unplug from the mains, clean the suds pump.
It is not possible to open the door.
Rinse water is cloudy.
In the case of siphon con­nection: siphon is blocked.
The door is locked due to safety reasons.
This probably due to a deter­gent with a high silicate con­tent.
Clean siphon.
Wait 1-2 minutes after the end of the program.
No negative impact on the rinsing results, possibly use liquid detergent.
29
Page 30
What to do, if
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.
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.
30
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.
Page 31
What to do, if
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 fr om 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 anti­clockwise 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 ÖKO lock does not function when the machine has been fully emp-
3
tied. Therefore add approx. 1liter of water before the next wash (pour in through the detergent drawer).
31
Page 32
What to do, if
Cleaning the suds pump
1 Warning! Switch the washing machine off prior to cleaning the suds
pump!

gency drain").
0 Lay a cloth on the floor in front of the suds pump cover. Some water
may run out.
0 Undo the cover on the suds pump in an
anti-clockwise direction and remove.
0 Remove foreign body from the pump
housing.
0 Check whether the pump impeller can be
turned. (A jerky pump motion is normal.) If the impeller cannot be turned, inform customer service.

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 rating plate behind the door of your washing machine.
E/PNC no. ......................
F no. .....................
If possible establish:
How is the disturbance evident?
Under what circumstances does the disturbance
occur?
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
