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 • 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. All packaging materials are environmentally sound and can be safely disposed of, or burned in a refuse incineration plant.
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 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 Function is not impaired. 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 Washing is not spun properly, water is still visible in the drum. Fault code (2 is displayed. 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.
