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<).

Operating instructions Cleaning and Caring Control panel 0 Attention! Do not use furniture care products or aggressive cleansers for cleaning control panels and control elements. Wipe control panels with a moist cloth. Use warm water. Detergent drawer The detergent drawer should be cleaned from time to time. 0 1. Pull the detergent drawer out as far as it will go. 2. Remove the detergent drawer by pulling sharply. 3. Remove siphon cap. 4. Clean the siphon cap under running water. 5.
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 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 Washing is not spun properly, water is still visible in the drum. 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.
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 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 Dimensions of the appliance Front and Side Views Rear View 38
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 Water connection 3 The washing machine is provided with safety devices which prevent reverse pollution of drinking water and conform to the State regulations issued by water supply authorities (e.g. in Germany: DVGW Directives). Further protective measures in the installation are hence unnecessary.
Installation and Connection Instructions 0 1. Connect the angled hose connector to the machine. Attention! Plastic nut at the tube coupling may only be hand tightened. 2. Connect the straight hose connector to a water tap with an R 3/4 (inch) thread. Attention! Only tighten the plastic nuts on the hose connectors by hand. 3. By opening the water tap slowly prior to the initial operation, check whether the connection is tight.
Installation and Connection Instructions Delivery heights above 1m Every washing machine is provided with a suds pump for draining the washing/rinsing suds, which can deliver liquids via the drain-off tubing up to a height of 1m, measured from the standing level of the machine. For delivery heights above 1m please establish contact with the AEG customer service.
