Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working".

Printed on recycled paper.

Your safety is of paramount importance, please ensure you read this instruction book before installing or using this appliance.

General safety

Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre.

Never start the machine if the mains cable is damaged or the control panel or worktop are damaged allowing inner components to be accessible.

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations.

Never pull the mains cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself.

During high temperature wash programmes and during the drying cycle, the door glass may get hot.

Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or before opening the door in an emergency.

Installation

Follow the installation instructions carefully.

Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS 60, with half the amount of detergent) in order to remove any manufacturing residue from the tub and the drum.

Safety instructions

Child safety

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.

Pets and children have been known to climb into washing machines. Please check the drum before use.

Keep all packaging well away from children.

Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.

When disposing of the appliance, cut off the mains cable, and destroy the plug. Disable the door catch to prevent young children being trapped inside.

During use

This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any possible damage that might occur.

For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified.

Use only detergents suitable for washing machines and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Garments which have been in contact with flammable solvents should not be machine washed.

Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if specifically permitted by the manufacturer of these products. We cannot be held liable for any damage.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!

Tips for environmental protection

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments.

The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both washing and drying cycles).

When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.

The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately spun before being dried.

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

8

Main features of your washer-dryer

Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.

Stain programme for effectively treating stained washing.

Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items.

Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 1200, 900, 700 or 400 rpm.

RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to prevent creasing.

Delay timer: programme start can be delayed by 1 to 19 hours (e.g. to times with a more economical power rate).

Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is running.

Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes your garments with extreme care.

The drying programmes will enable you to have dry and soft laundry in a short time.

3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.

Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

12

Description of the appliance

ELECTRONIC DRYING button STORE DRY

IRON DRY

This button enables you to choose the required degree of drying for cottons and synthetics:

-Store dry

-Iron dry (not for synthetics)

The drying time is automatically adjusted by the machine: the laundry will be dried to the selected degree of dryness.

DRYING TIME button

If you wish to carry out a timed programme instead of an electronic programme push the button until the drying time you want appears in the display according to the fabrics (cotton or synthetics) you have to dry.

For COTTON you can select a drying time from 10 minutes to 130 minutes. For SYNTHETICS you can select a time from 10 minutes to 100 minutes.

Programme Option buttons

Depending on the programme, different functions can be combined. These must be selected after choosing the desired programme and before depressing the START/PAUSE button.

When these buttons are pressed, the corresponding pilot lights come on. When they are pressed again, the pilot lights go out.

STAIN

To treat heavily soiled or stained laundry with stain remover (extended main wash with time optimised stain action phase, not selectable for wool or programmes with temperatures lower than 40°C).

This function cannot be used with QUICK WASH, SOAK and PREWASH.

QUICK WASH

By pressing this button the washing time is reduced. For use when washing lightly soiled laundry.

This option is not available with the wool and economy programme and cannot be used with STAIN.

SOAK

The machine performs a soak of about 30 minutes at 30°C. By pressing the DELAYED START button the soak time can be prolonged up to 10 hours max. After this time the wash cycle will automatically start.

This function cannot be used with WOOL, PREWASH or STAIN programme.

13

Description of the appliance

The soak programme ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics, and with emptying of the water without spinning for Delicates.

PREWASH

The machine performs a prewash cycle at 30°C max. The prewash cycle ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics, and with emptying of the water without spinning for Delicates.

This option is not available with the wool programme and cannot be used with SOAK and STAINS.

For use when washing heavily soiled laundry.

Important: By depressing at the same time PREWASH and QUICK WASH buttons the machine will perform an extra rinse (see page 27)

SPIN SPEED

Press this button to reduce the maximum speed of the final speed proposed by the machine for the selected programme or to select RINSE HOLD option. The maximum spin speed for cotton is 1600 rpm for model 16800 and 1400 rpm for model 14800, for synthetics and wool 900 rpm and for delicates 700 rpm.

RINSE HOLD

By selecting this option, the last rinse water is not emptied out, to prevent the fabrics from creasing. When the programme has finished, the pilot light END on the programme progress display illuminates to indicate that the water must be emptied out.

To empty out water:

press the START/PAUSE button: after emptying, the machine performs the spin cycle required for the type of wash selected;

select the DRAIN programme to empty out the water without spinning.

Warning! The programme selector dial must be turned first to RESET O and then to the DRAIN programme.
