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 2 Disposal Dispose of the packaging! Dispose of washing machine packaging materials properly. All packaging 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 polyethylene (marking >PE<). • The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene (marking >PS<).

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 case of a malfunction try to solve the problem with the aid of the notes given 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 threaded feet as per the installation instructions. There is only very little washing in the drum (e.g. only a Function is not impaired. towelling dressing gown). Water cannot be completely pumped out because the drain hose is kinked or the circulation pump is blocked.
Operating instructions Malfunction Possible Cause Remedy 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. Circulation pump is blocked. Switch off the machine and unplug from the mains, clean the circulation pump. In the case of siphon connection: siphon is blocked. Clean siphon. It is not possible to open the door.
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 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 1. Have a flat container on hand to catch the water running out. 2. Open the flap on the left of the pedestal cover downwards and remove. 3. Remove the emergency drain hose from the bracket. 4. Pull the emergency drain hose out a little. 5. Place the container under the hose. 6.
Operating instructions Clean the circulating pump Warning! Switch off the washing machine and pull the mains plug before cleaning the circulation pump! 0 1. First perform emergency draining (see above: "Perform Emergency Drain"). 2. Lay a cloth on the floor in front of the circulation pump cover. Some water may run out. 3. Unscrew the circulation pump cover in an anti-clockwise direction and remove. 1 4. Remove foreign body from the pump housing. 5.
Operating instructions Additional Rinse/Water Cooling The washing machine is set up for extremely low water consumption. • However, for people who suffer from an allergy to detergents, it can be useful to rinse with more water (additional rinse). • It may be necessary to cool the water before it is pumped out in order to prevent damage to plastic waste pipes (water cooling). You can activate these functions using the More Water Switch.
Installation and Connection Instructions INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Safety Precautions • Do not tip the washing machine over the front or the left side (seen from the front). Electrical components could become wet! • Check the washing machine for transport damages. You should never connect a damaged appliance. In the event of a damage consult your dealer.

Installation and Connection Instructions Installation of the appliance 3 Washing machines with arched covers are not suited for installation beneath countertops. Transporting the appliance • Do not lay the washing machine on the front or on the left side (seen from the front); otherwise the electrical components could become wet! • Never transport the appliance without transportation protection.
Installation and Connection Instructions Remove transportation protection Attention! Be absolutely certain that all shipping braces have been removed before installing the appliance. Store all shipping braces in a safe place in case they are required for future transport (moving). Special spanner H and cover caps E (2 off) and G (1 off) are supplied with the appliance. 0 1. Remove flexible tubing holder A. 2. Remove the two screws B with special spanner H. 3. Remove the four screws C. 4.
Installation and Connection Instructions Prepare the installation place • The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor wax and other smearing substances, so that the appliance does not slip off. Do not use any lubricant as sliding aid. • Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is then no longer ensured.
Installation and Connection Instructions Levelling on uneven floors Using the four adjustable threaded feet, compensation can be made for unevenness in the floor and the height of the appliance adjusted. The height can be adjusted over the range +10... -5 mm. To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied for removing the transport braces. 0 1. Slide the special key firmly onto the hexagon head of the threaded foot all the way to the stop. 2.
Installation and Connection Instructions Power supply Details on the mains voltage, type of current and the necessary fuse protection are to be found on the rating plate. The rating plate is above and behind the door. For permanent electrical connection within the electrical circuit, provisions must be made which allow for electrical disconnection of the appliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least 3 mm at all poles.
Installation and Connection Instructions Water Connection 3 Your washing machine is fitted with safety devices that prevent drinking water contamination and comply with the regulations of the water authorities in your country (e.g. in Germany: DVGW Directives). It is therefore not necessary to take further protective measures in the installation. Permissible water pressure Water pressure must be equal to a least 1 bar (= 10N/cm2 = 0.1 MPa), and no more than 10 bar (= 100N/cm2 = 1 MPa).
Installation and Connection Instructions Water feed A flexible pressure tubing of 1.3m length is supplied. If a longer feed tubing is needed, a complete VDE-approved tubing set with mounted screw connections, supplied by our customer service, should be used exclusively. – For washing machines without Aqua-Control, tubing sets are available in lengths of 2.2m, 3.5m and 5m. – For washing machines with Aqua-Control, tubing sets are available in lengths of 2.0m, 2.9m and 3.9m.

The hose set supplied is approved for use with hot and cold water. Important! The hot water temperature must not exceed 70 °C.
Installation and Connection Instructions Water drain-off The drain-off tubing can be connected either to a siphon or be hanged in a washing or sink basin or in a bathtub. For extension (max. 3 m floor length and up to 80 cm high) only original tubing may be used. The customer service supplies drain-off tubing of 2.7 and 4m lengths. 0 0 Water drain-off inside a siphon The spout at the end of the tubing fits all common siphon types.
