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 familiarise you with the following safety instructions: Prior to initial start-up • Observe the "Installation and Connection Instructions" below in these user instructions.
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.
Operating instructions • Allow the wash-water to cool before emergency draining of the appliance, cleaning of the circulation pump or emergency opening of the door. • Small animals may gnaw at electrical power cables and water hoses. Danger of electrical shock and water damage! Keep small animals away from the washing machine. 2 Disposal Dispose of the packaging! Dispose of washing machine packaging materials properly.
Operating instructions 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 washing 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.

Operating instructions • New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these items separately the first time. • Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing efficiency, and the washing is more favourably distributed during the spin cycle. • Fluff washing before placing into the washing machine. • Do not place folded washing into the drum.
Operating instructions Detergent and conditioner Which detergent and conditioner? Use only detergents and conditioners which are suitable for use in washing machines. Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions. How much detergent and conditioner?

Operating instructions Washing drum 0 The washing drum is made of rust-free stainless steel. Rusty objects in the washing drum may lead to rust deposits on the drum. Attention! Do not clean the stainless steel drum with acid containing decalcifying agents, abrasives containing chlorine or iron, or steel wool. Appropriate cleansers are available from our customer service department. Remove rust deposits at the drum with a stainless steel cleanser.
Operating instructions What to do when… 3 The somewhat different, in comparison to older washing machines, whistling noise during spinning is due to the modern drive system. A rattling sound on startup – in particular when using for the first time – is caused by the circulation pump and is due to the design. Trouble Shooting In the event of a malfunction, try to eliminate the problem yourself with the help of the instructions listed here.
Operating instructions Malfunction Possible Cause The height adjustable threaded feet are not correctly adjusted. Washing machine vibrates during operation or is unstable. Remedy Adjust the feet as per the installation and connection instructions. There is only very little washing in the drum (e.g. only a Does not impair function. toweling dressing gown). Water could not be completely pumped out prior to spinning because the drain hose is kinked or the circulation pump is clogged.
Operating instructions Malfunction Possible Cause Drain hose is kinked. Remove kink. Maximum pumping height (drain height 1m above the floor on which the machine is standing) exceeded. Please contact customer service who have a retrofit kit for pumping to heights of greater than 1m. Washing is not spun properly, water is still visible in the drum. Error code (2 appears. Circulation pump is blocked. The fill-in door cannot be opened when the appliance is switched on.
Operating instructions If the washing results are not satisfactory If the washing is grey and there are calcium deposits 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.
Operating instructions Perform emergency drain • If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water then an emergency drain must be performed. • 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. Furthermore, the inlet hose must be disconnected from the tap and laid on the floor. Warning! Switch the washing machine off and pull the mains plug prior to emergency draining.
Operating instructions When the water is completely drained: 7. Press the end stop firmly back into the emergency drain hose. 8. Push the emergency drain hose back in a little and allow it to snap into the mounting. 9. Put on the flap and close. The ECO valve does not function when the machine has been fully emptied. Therefore add approx. 1liter of water before the next wash (pour in through the detergent drawer).
Operating instructions Emergency release for fill-in door If the fill-in door can no longer be opened (e.g. due to a defective door release or power failure during the washing program), it can be opened with the help of the emergency release. 0 1. If water can be seen at the window in the fill-in door, perform emergency draining first (see "Perform emergency drain"). 2. Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction with the aid of a coin or with a screwdriver. The door springs open.
Operating instructions 3. Whilst +Á is flashing, release the q (SOAKING) button. The additional rinse function is enabled once the flashing has ceased. It continues to be enabled until specifically disabled. When the additional rinse function is enabled, the +Á indicator on the program progress display illuminates prior to program start and during the additional rinse. 4.
