Operating instructions

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1 Safety

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 famil-

iarise you with the following safety instructions:

Prior to initial start-up

• Observe the "Installation and Connection Instructions" below in

these user instructions.

• If the appliance is delivered during the winter and temperatures are

below freezing, allow the appliance to stand at room temperature for

24 hours before operation

Intended use

• The washing machine is intended exclusively for the washing of nor-

mal household washing in the home. If the appliance is used for pur-

poses other than those intended, or if it is improperly operated, the

manufacturer can assume no liability for damages which may occur.

• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly for-

bidden due to safety reasons.

• Use only those detergents which are suitable for the washing

machine. Observe instructions provided by the detergent manufac-

turer.

• Laundry to be washed may not contain any flammable solvents. This

must also be taken into consideration when washing pre-washed

laundry.

• Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.

• Dyes and bleaches may only be used in the washing machine if such

use has been expressly endorsed by the manufacturer of these prod-

ucts. We can assume no liability for damages which may occur.

• Use tap water only. Rain water and industrial water may only be used

if they fulfil requirements in accordance with DIN1986 and DIN1988.

• Damage due to frost is not covered by the guarantee! If the washing

machine is located in a room in which below freezing temperatures

might occur, emergency draining must be carried out if danger of

freezing occurs (see "Emergency Draining"). Furthermore, the inlet

hose must be disconnected from the tap and laid on the floor.

Operating instructions

Safety of children

•Packaging materials (e.g. sheet and Styrofoam) can be dangerous for

children. Danger of asphyxiation! Keep packaging materials at a safe

distance from children.

•Children are often unable to recognise the dangers involved with

electrical appliances. Provide for proper supervision during operation,

and do not allow children to play with the washing machine –the

danger exists that a child might lock itself into the appliance.

•Make certain that children or small animals do not climb into the

drum of the washing machine.

•If the washing machine needs to be disposed of, remove the mains

plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the electrical cable and dispose of

the plug and remaining cable separately. In this way children are pre-

vented from locking themselves in and are not exposed life threate-

ning danger.

General Safety

•Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by trained

personnel. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If

repairs are required, contact customer service or your dealer.

•Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the

control panel, the work surface, or the plinth are damaged to such an

extent that components inside the machine are openly accessible.

•Switch off the washing machine before cleaning, maintenance and

servicing. In addition, unplug from the mains or –in the case of per-

manent connection –pull the circuit breaker, or completely remove

screw type fuses.

•Never remove the mains plug by pulling on the cable. Always grip the

plug.

•Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used.

This could constitute a safety hazard!

•Do not clean the washing machine with a jet of water. There is a risk

of electric shock!

•When high temperature washing programs are selected, the glass in

the door becomes hot. Do not touch!

•Leave the water in the machine to cool down before performing an

emergency drain or cleaning the circulation pump.

•Small animals may gnaw at electrical power cables and water hoses.

There is a risk of electric shock and damage from water leaks! Keep

small animals away from the washing machine.

Operating instructions

2 Disposal

Dispose of the packaging!

Dispose of washing machine packaging materials properly. All packag-

ing materials are environmentally sound and can be safely disposed of,

or burned in a refuse incineration plant.

The plastic parts can be reused:

•The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of polyethyl-

ene (marking >PE<).

•The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene

(marking >PS<).

Corrugated components are made from recycled paper and should be

disposed of at a paper recycling station.

Dispose of your old appliance!

If, at some point in time, the service life of the appliance has expired,

please take it to your nearest recycling centre, or to your appliance

dealer, who will accept the old appliance for a minimal fee.

2 Environmental protection tips

•No pre-wash is required for normally soiled washing. This saves you

detergent, water and time (and is good for the environment!).

•If the indicated load capacities are taken full advantage of, the wash-

ing machine is especially efficient.

•For small loads, use only one half to one third of the recommended

detergent quantity.

•Stains and soiling confined to given areas can be removed by means

of appropriate pre-treatment. You can then wash at lower tempera-

tures.

•Wash lightly to medium soiled cottons with the energy saving pro-

gram.

•Softeners are often not required. Try it! If you use a dryer, your wash-

ing will be soft and fluffy, even without softeners.

•A water softener should be used for water within a hardness range of

mid to high (as of hardness level II, see "Detergents and Conditio-

ners"). Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness level I

(= soft).
