AEG household electrical appliances comply with general techni
cal safety manufacturing standards and with all safety regulations
on the use of electrical appliances. However, the manufacturer is
obliged to bring the following safety points to the attention of the
user:
- Before using the appliance, make sure that the voltage and type
of current indicated on its rating plate correspond to the mains
voltage and type of current in the place where it is to be
installed. The rating plate also gives details of the electrical pro
tection required.
- If the appliance is installed in a location which is not insulated
against frost, the emergency emptying procedure (see “Emer
gency emptying’’) should be used whenever there is any risk of
the temperature dropping below zero.
- Always disconnect the appliance before cleaning it or carrying
out any maintenance. To be absolutely safe, check that the plug
is removed trom the socket or that the mains switch or safety
circuit breaker are in the OFF position (see instructions for
installation and electrical connection).
- Avoid spraying the appliance with water.
- Never remove the plug from the socket by pulling the cable;
always take hold of the plug itself!
- Never start the appliance if;
■ fhe power supply cable is damaged
■ there are obvious signs of damage in the control panel area,
to the top or along the base.
- Repairs must only be carried out by qualified persons.
Inexperienced repairs can seriously endanger the user.
Always contact the Service Centre or an authorized dealer. Only
genuine AEG spares comply with all standards!
... the fabric softener has left marks on the laundry:
■ In this case the fabric softener, especially if of the concen
trated type, has come into direct contact with the laundry.
Wash out these marks immediately.
... detergent residue is left after the wash cycle:
■ This is most probably due to non soluble components con
tained in modern detergents. It is not a sign of inadequate
rinsing.
Brush or shake the garments and, if necessary, wash them
again.
... the fabric softener has not been introduced in the tub or
there is water left in the compartment marked with the |^)
symbol:
■ The drawer was pulled out whilst the machine was filling, or
the drawer was not fully inserted.
... foam remains after the last rinse:
■ Modern detergents can produce foam even after rinsing, but
this will not affect the quality of the wash.
... no water is visible in the drum:
■ Machines based on modern technology operate very eco
nomically using very little water. Their performance however is
excellent.
... the laundry is not sufficiently spun and there is still water
in the drum:
■ Check whether the drain hose is kinked.
■ Check whether the filter is blocked.
... the machine does not dry:
■ Check that the drying time has been selected.
■ Check that the tap is open.
■ Check that the filter is not blocked.
■ Check that the drum has not been over-filled.
■ Cheek that the correct drying time has been selected.
If the Service Centre is called out for one of the faults listed
above, or as a result of incorrect usage of the machine,
repairs will not be carried out free of charge, even if the
guarantee has not yet expired.
