However, as manufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety notes. General safety · Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. · Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components can be reached. · Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations. · Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself. · Never spray the machine with a jet of water. Danger of electric shock! · During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it! · Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or before opening the door in an emergency. · Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water hoses causing electrocution hazard and damage due to water leaks. Positioning, connection, starting up · Follow the instructions for positioning and connection. · Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS 60, with half the amount of detergent) in order to remove any manufacturing residue from the tub and the drum. · Should the machine be purchased in winter, when temperatures can be below 0°, leave the appliance for 24 hours at ambient temperature before starting it. 137 Safety instructions Child safety · Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk that they could become trapped inside. · The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children's reach. · Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children's reach. · Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum. · When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing. Discarding Packaging materials The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable. >PE<=polyethylene >PS<=polystyrene >PP<=polypropylene This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers. Machine Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy! Proper use · This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any possible damage that might occur. · For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified. · Use only detergents suitable for washing machines and follow the manufacturer's instructions. · Garments which have been in contact with flammable solvents should not be machine washed. · Do not use your machine for dry cleaning. · Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if specifically permitted by the manufacturer of these products. We cannot be held responsible for any damage. · Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water tap after use. 138 139 Tips for environmental protection To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips: · Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). · Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled cotton garments. · The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded. · When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent. · With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature. · If the water has a medium or high degree of hardness (starting from degree of hardness II, see "Detergents and additives") water softeners must be added. The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft). Main features of your washing machine · Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector. · Stain programme for effectively treating stained washing. · Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items. · Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900-700 or 500 rpm. · RINSE HOLD can be added: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to avoid the formation of creases. · The possibility of selecting all the other options offered by this machine gives you truly "customised washing". · Delay timer: programme start can be delayed by 1 to max. 19 hours (e.g. to times with a more economical power rate). · Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is running. · Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes your garments with extreme care, without felting them. · 4-compartment drawer for detergent, fabric softener and bleaching agent. · Unbalance detection device: secure position and silent operation of the appliance. 140 141 Description of the appliance Description of the appliance Front view Control panel 500 700 900 1000 Detergent drawer Control panel AB C D 500 700 900 1000 O G F D C B A 30 40 30 40 95 E 60 50 40 30 60 50 30 40 E FG H J O G F D C B A 30 40 30 40 95 E 60 50 40 30 60 50 30 40 Door A B C D E F G H J = = = = = = = = = Mains-on light ON/OFF button Delay start button Display Option buttons START/PAUSE button Spin speed button Programme progress display Programme selector dial Programme selector dial The programme selector determines ODELICATE SPIN 95 E Cotton the type of washing cycle (e.g. water GSPIN 60 F DRAIN 50 DSOFTENERS level, drum movement, number of C DEL.RINSES 40 rinses) and the washing temperature, B SOAK 30 A according to the type of laundry. 60 Synthetics 30 The selector is divided into 5 sectors: Wool 40 50 40 30 30 40 · Cotton Delicates · Synthetics · Delicates · Wool · Special programmes A-G and · RESET programme O.

Before the machine starts the heating phase, i.e. within the first 15 minutes for cotton programmes, 10 minutes for synthetic and delicate programmes and 5 minutes for the wool programme, the selected wash cycle can be modified. Warning! If the programme selector dial is turned first to RESET O and then to the new programme, the programme which is running is cancelled, the water is emptied out and the machine re-starts from water filling. To simply modify the programme which is running, turn the programme selector dial to the desired position (avoiding the RESET position): when the START/PAUSE button is pressed again, the machine restarts with the newly selected programme from the point at which it was interrupted. Detergent dispenser drawer Cl Programme chart Opening the door after the programme has started The door can only be opened before the machine starts the heating phase (within the first 15, 10 or 5 minutes, depending on the programme selected - see paragraph above) and during the rinse phase. Set the machine to PAUSE (by pressing the START/PAUSE button). If the door does not open, this means that the machine is already heating, or that the water level is above the bottom edge of the door. This prevents large quantities of water from spilling out when the door is opened. Compartment for prewash detergent and stain remover. The prewash detergent is added at the beginning of the wash programme, the stain remover during the STAIN-Action phase in the main wash at the optimal time. Compartment for powder or liquid detergent used for main wash. It is emptied at the beginning of the wash cycle. Compartment for liquid additives (fabric softener, starch). It is emptied at the last rinse. Compartment for bleaching agent. It is emptied at the first rinse. The quantity of additives and bleaching product must not exceed the «MAX» mark in the drawer. Before the first wash Before your first wash, we recommend that you run a cotton cycle at 60°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the machine. 148 149 Preparing the wash cycle Preparing the wash cycle Sorting out and preparing the laundry · Sort out the laundry according to type of fabrics and care labels (see "Types of fabric and care labels"). · Empty pockets. · Remove any metal parts (safety pins, clips, etc.). · To prevent the laundry from getting damaged and forming bundles, it is advisable to close zips, button up pillowcases and quilt covers and tie up loose straps such as those of aprons. · Turn double faced items inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc.) · Turn coloured knitted fabrics, woollens and fabrics with trim inside out. · Wash small and delicate items (baby socks, tights) inside a laundry net or in a pillow case closed with a zip, or in larger socks. · Treat curtains with special care. Remove all metal or plastic hooks or put them in a net or a bag. We decline any responsibility in case of damage. · Whites and coloureds must be washed separately: white items can loose their whiteness. · New coloured fabrics often have excess dyes; it is advisable to wash them separately for the first time. · Wash small and large items together; this improves the washing result and the laundry is better distributed during spinning. · Shake out garments before putting them into the machine. · Insert each garment separately. Weight of laundry Sort of laundry Bathrobes Work shirts Quilt covers Sheets Blouses Hand towels Tea towels Shirts Pillowcases Night-gowns/Pyjamas Tablecloths Underwear Approximate dry weights 1200 g 300-600 g 700 g 500 g 100 g 200 g 100 g 200 g 200 g 200-250 g 200-300 g 250 g Types of fabric and care labels The labels on garments help you to select the most suitable wash programme. The laundry should be sorted out according to the type of fabric and the instructions indicated on care labels. Temperatures indicated on labels are always maximum temperatures. Cotton 95 Linen and cottons marked with this symbol can be washed at high temperatures. Cotton 60 Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be washed at 60°C. Cotton 40 30 Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore the washing temperature must not exceed these values. Synthetics 40 60 Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a gentle wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the specific programme. 150 151 Preparing the wash cycle Preparing the wash cycle Delicates 40 30 Microfibres, synthetics or curtains marked with these symbols require a very gentle treatment. The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric. 30 40 Woollens and particularly delicate items Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOLLENS programme is suitable for this type of fabric. If the label has the symbol (do not wash), garments must not be machine washed! Detergents and additives Which detergent and additive? Use only detergents and additives for washing machines. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. How much detergent? The quantity depends on: · the load: if the manufacturer does not provide any indications on the amount of detergent for small loads, use about one third less than the suggested amount for half loads and half the amount for very small loads; · the degree of soil: use a small amount of detergent for lightly soiled garments. Judge the amount according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions and size of the load; · the water hardness: the harder the water, the more detergent required. Instructions according to water hardness are given on the detergent pack. Liquid detergent Liquid detergent can be poured directly into the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer immediately before starting the programme, or a special dispenser can be used that is placed directly in the drum. Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Adding a water softener (descaling product) A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft). Information on water hardness can be obtained from your local water supply authority.

Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate. If the machine is not used for a prolonged period: Close the water tap and unplug the appliance. Drain filter The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Place a container under the filter and unscrew it; some water will come out of the filter. Pull out the filter. Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in. Periodical cleaning Bodywork Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a neutral, nonabrasive household detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork. Detergent dispenser drawer After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer. Clean the drawer, from time to time, by rinsing it under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner. To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed. Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning. Cl Water inlet filter If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap and remove the filter. Clean it with a stiff brush. Refit the filter and screw the hose back onto the tap. 160 161 Cleaning and maintenance Emergency emptying out If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: · pull out the plug from the power socket; · close the water tap; · if necessary, wait until the water has cooled; · place a bowl on the floor; · put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out. Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter again. Something not working? If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor. If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines. Troubleshooting If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the instructions below. If you call out an engineer when one of the following problems arises, or to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the callout will be charged even if requested within the guarantee period. During machine operation the following alarm codes may be displayed: - E00: problem with the water supply - E10: problem with water draining - E20: door open Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. Problem Possible cause Solution Depress the button. Replace the fuse. Close the door; the click of the lock should be heard. Insert the plug. Press the button. Check the selected delay on the display. Frost precautions If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows: · Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap. · Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor. · Select the "drain" programme D and run it until the machine stops. · Turn the programme selector dial to RESET O. · Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. · Remove the plug from the power socket. · Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place. By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, breakage of the parts involved. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C. The ON/OFF button has not been depressed. The main electrical fuse has blown. The door is not properly The machine does not work closed (E20). The plug is not connected. The START button has not been pressed.

The laundry is not evenly distributed inside the drum. Too much detergent has been used. An unsuitable detergent has been used that creates too much foam. One of the connectors on the water inlet hose is leaking. The drain filter has not been properly screwed on after cleaning. There is water on the floor 164 165 Something not working? Something not working? Problem Possible cause Solution Unsatisfactory washing results If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum · Too little detergent has been used. · An unsuitable detergent has been used. · Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. · The programme/temperature has not been correctly selected. If grey stains remain on the laundry · Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with an insufficient amount of detergent. · The temperature selected for the wash programme was too low. · Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type - has come into direct contact with the laundry. Wash these stains immediately and pour fabric softener carefully. Foam is still visible even after the last rinse · Modern detergents often produce foam, even in the last rinse. However the laundry has been completely rinsed. White residue is left on the laundry · This is due to insoluble components in modern detergents and is therefore not the result of insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the laundry. In future, it may be better to turn garments inside out before washing them. Check the choice of detergent; try using liquid detergents. The unbalance detection device that prevents excessive vibration during spinning and ensures a stable position has cut in. Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin If the laundry is not evenly distributed inside the drum at the beginning of the spin cycle, the machine detects this and tries to redistribute it more evenly by means of a few drum rotations. Only when the laundry is more evenly distributed will the spin cycle be performed, eventually at a lower speed, if the laundry is not yet evenly distributed. If, after about 15 minutes, the laundry is still tangled, the machine will not spin. Therefore, if the laundry is still wet at the end of the cycle, it is advisable to redistribute it manually inside the drum and to select the spin programme again. 166 167 Technical data Height x Width x Depth Depth with door opened Height adjustment Net weight Load (depending on programme) Use Drum speed during washing Drum speed during spinning Water pressure 82x60x54.5 cm 91 cm ± 13 mm approx. 71 kg approx. 4.5 kg max. domestic max. 55 rpm 1000/900/700/500 rpm 1 - 10 bar 2 (=10-100N/cm = 0.1-1.0Mpa) Service In the section "Something not working?" some problems that can be solved by yourself are listed.
