Instructions for use Instructions for use 1 Safety The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to the recognised technical regulations and the legislation covering the safety of appliances. However, as manufacturers, we still regard it as our responsibility to inform you of the following safety information. Before Putting into Operation for the First Time • Refer to the ”Installation and Connection Instructions” later in this user information.
Instructions for use Child Safety • Packaging components (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be hazardous to children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children. • Children often cannot recognise the hazards associated with handling electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure the necessary supervision during operation and do not allow children to play with the washing machine – there is a risk that children can get trapped inside.
Instructions for use • Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning the drain pump. • Small animals can chew the power cables and water hoses. Risk of electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away from the washing machine. 2 Disposal Dispose the packing material! Dispose of your washing machine's packaging correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled.
Instructions for use 2 Environment Tips • The pre-wash cycle is not required for averagely dirty washing. This saves washing powder/liquid, water and time (and does not harm the environment). • The washing machine is especially economical when you fully utilise the stated filling quantities. • For small amounts of washing, use only half to two thirds the recommended amount of washing powder/liquid. • Suitable pretreatment enables stains and small amounts of dirt to be removed.
