1 Safety instructions  
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 famil-  
iarise you with the following safety instructions:  
General safety  
Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified  
personnel. As a result of incorrect repairs considerable dangers for the  
user may result. Please contact our customer service department or  
an authorised AEG dealer in the event of repairs being necessary.  
Never start the washing machine if the mains flex is damaged or the  
control panel, work top or base area are so damaged that the inside  
of the washing machine is accessible.  
Switch off the washing machine before carrying out any cleaning,  
care and maintenance work! You can make totally sure by pulling the  
mains plug out of the socket or - if permanently connected by  
switching off the fuse switch in the fuse box or by unscrewing the  
plug fuse right out.  
Multiway plugs, joints and extension cables must not be used. There is  
risk of overheating!  
Never use the flex to pull the plug out of the socket but pull the  
actual plug.  
Do not spray the washing machine with a water jet danger of an  
electric shock!  
During washing programs at a high temperature, the glass of the  
door heats up. Do not touch!  
Allow the suds to cool down before cleaning the pump or carrying  
out emergency emptying.  
Small animals can nibble at power cables and water hoses. Electric  
shock hazard and danger of damages from water!  
Installation, connection and initial operation  
Please follow the separate Installation and connection instructions.  
Run the first washing cycle without washing (  
/Cottons 95,  
with half the amount of washing powder) to remove residues on the  
drum and suds container caused during production.  
If the machine is delivered during the winter at freezing tempera-  
tures: store the washing machine for 24 hours at room temperature  
before starting it.

Safety instructions  
Safety of children  
Often children are not aware of the dangers involved in handling  
electrical equipment. Therefore please ensure they are adequately  
supervised whilst the appliance is on and do not allow children to  
play with the washing machine there is a risk that the children may  
lock themselves in the appliance.  
Packaging (e.g. plastic films, polystyrene) could be dangerous for chil-  
dren danger of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.  
Please make sure that children or small animals do not climb into the  
drum of the washing machine.  
When disposing of the washing machine pull out the plug, cut off the  
flex, dispose of the plug and remaining flex and destroy the door  
lock. This hinders children from locking themselves in and endanger-  
ing their lives.  
Intended use  
Only use the washing machine to wash normal domestic washing. If  
the washing machine is used for any other purpose or is incorrectly  
used, the manufacturer adopts no liability for any damages which  
may result.  
Conversions or changes to washing machines are not permitted due  
to safety reasons.  
Only use washing powder which is suitable for washing machines.  
Please follow the instructions of the washing powder manufacturers.  
The washing may not contain any flammable solvents.  
Please observe this above all when washing prewashed laundry.  
Do not use your washing 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 liable for  
any damages.  
Please only use water from the mains. Only use rain or industrial  
water if it meets the requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988.

2 Disposal  
Dispose of the packaging!  
Dispose of the packaging material of your washing machine correctly.  
All packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be dis-  
posed of without any danger or burnt in the refuse incinerator.  
The plastic parts can be reused:  
The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of polyethyl-  
ene (marking >PE<).  
The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene  
(marking >PS<).  
The boxes are made from recycled paper and should be returned to the  
old paper collection.  
Dispose of your old washing machine!  
When you eventually stop using your washing machine please bring it  
to the nearest recycling centre or to your dealer who will take it back  
for a small fee.  
2 Environmental tips  
For normally soiled washing you do not need a prewash. In this way  
you can save washing powder, water and time (and not pollute the  
environment!).  
The washing machine works particularly economically if you exploit  
the maximum loads.  
For small quantities of washing use half to two thirds of the recom-  
mended washing powder quantity.  
By suitable pretreatment stains and a certain amount of dirt can be  
removed. Then you can wash at a low temperature.  
Wash slightly soiled to normally soiled cottons with the energy saving  
program.  
Often you do not need a fabric softener. Just try it! If you use a wash-  
ing machine your washing will become soft and fluffy without sof-  
tener.  
For medium to high water hardness (from hardness range II, see  
"Washing powder and conditioners") you should use a water softener.  
The washing powder can then always be measured as for hardness  
area I (= soft).

The most important features of your  
appliance  
Setting the program using the program selector, temperature selector  
and type of washing buttons.  
Stain program for effectively treating stained washing.  
Energy saving program for slightly soiled to normally soiled linen.  
Maximum spin speed 1200 revolutions per minute, speed for the  
final spin is automatically adapted depending on the washing program:  
(Cottons/Linen)

(Woollens)  
Speed for the final spin can be changed to 1000, 700, or 400 revolu-  
tions per minute.  
(Rinse hold) can be added: the washing remains in the final  
rinse water, it is not spun.  
Delay timer: program start can be delayed by 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours  
(e.g. to times with a more economical power rate).  
Automatic load adaptation with fuzzy logic: sensor controlled wash-  
ing process, water quantity dependent on foam and load. This ensures  
the best washing and rinsing results with the lowest automatically  
adapted water consumption.  
4-chamber compartment for washing powder and fabric softener:  
temporally delayed addition of softener, washing powder and stain  
removing agent enables environmentally friendly washing and  
improves the effectiveness of the detergents.  
ÖKO gate: ensures that the washing powder is fully exploited by auto-  
matically closing the suds container during the wash cycle.  
Scoop ribs in the washing machine drum: ensure washing is wet fast  
and equally.  
Anti-unbalance control system: for stability and smooth running.  
Extra water switch: suds cooling only or suds cooling with extra rinse  
can be set.

Before using your machine for the first time  
0 Slightly pull the detergent compartment out of the control panel.  
0 Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent compartment into the  
washing machine.  
Only once this has been done does the suds container close and the  
ÖKO gate can function correctly.  
0 Run through a wash cycle without washing (  
/COTTONS 95,  
with half the amount of washing powder).  
This removes residues on the drum and suds container caused during  
production.  
14  
 
Preparing the washing cycle  
Sorting out and preparing washing  
Sort out washing according to the type and care symbol (see "Types  
of washing and care symbols").  
Empty the pockets.  
Remove any metal parts (paper clips, safety pins etc.).  
To prevent washing from getting damaged and forming bundles:  
close zips, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, tie up loose straps  
such as from aprons.  
Turn clothes made from double layer fabric inside out (e.g. anoraks,  
sleeping bags).  
For knitted coloured fabrics as well as woollens and fabrics with  
appliqué: turn inside out.  
Put small and delicate pieces (baby socks, tights) in a washing net, a  
pillow case with zip or in larger socks.  
Handle curtains with special care. Remove metal strips or plastic fins  
or tie them in a net or a bag.  
We accept no liability for damages.  
Keep coloureds and whites separately in different washing cycles,  
otherwise whites will turn grey.  
New coloured fabric often contains excess dyes. Wash this laundry  
separately for the first time.  
Mix small and large pieces of washing! This improves the effective-  
ness of the wash and the washing is distributed better when spinning.  
Shake out washing before putting it into the machine.  
Unfold the washing before putting it into the drum.  
Observe tips for proper care such as "wash separately" and "wash sep-  
arately several times"!.

(WOOLLENS) program is suitable for this  
Important! Fabrics with the ï (hand washing) or ñ (do not wash!)  
care symbols must not be washed in the washing machine!  
Washing powders and conditioners  
Which washing powder and conditioner?  
Only use washing powders and fabric softeners suitable for washing  
machine use. As a general rule follow the instructions of the producers.  
16  
 
Preparing the washing cycle  
How much washing powder and fabric softener?  
The amount to be used depends on  
the load:  
If the washing powder producer does not make any specifications for  
small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads only  
use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a full  
load.  
the degree of soiling of the washing:  
For only slightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the  
instructions of the washing powder producer and load.  
on the degree of hardness of the tap water:  
The harder the water, the higher the dosage! You will find the quanti-  
ties to use according to water hardness on the washing powder pack-  
aging.  
Liquid detergent  
Add liquid detergent using the dosing device provided by the detergent  
industry. Please follow the instructions on the package.  
Using a water softener  
For a medium to high degree of water hardness (from water hardness  
area II) water softener should be used. Follow the manufacturers  
instructions! Then always dose detergent for hardness area I (= soft).  
You can find information about the local degree of water hardness  
from your water utility.  
As the water softener has to be added before the main detergent (pre-  
softening of the water), 80% of the water softener otherwise needed is  
sufficient.

Troubleshooting  
If the washing results are not satisfactory  
If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in  
the drum  
Insufficient washing powder has been added.  
Incorrect washing powder was used.  
Special stains were not pretreated.  
Program or temperature was not set correctly.  
When using modular washing powders the individual components  
were not used in the correct ratio.  
If there are still grey stains on the washing  
Washing soiled with ointments, grease or oils was washed with insuf-  
ficient washing powder.  
The temperature selected for the wash was too low.  
A frequent cause is that fabric softener especially a concentrated one  
has come into contact with the washing. Wash out these types of  
stains as fast as possible and use the fabric softener carefully.  
If after the final rinse foam is still visible  
Modern washing powders can still cause foam in the final rinse cycle.  
The washing is nevertheless sufficiently rinsed.  
If there are white residues on the washing  
These are insoluble contents of modern washing powders. They are  
not the result of an insufficient rinse. Shake out the washing or brush  
it off. Perhaps you should turn the washing inside out in future  
before washing it. Review your choice of powder, possibly use liquid  
detergents in future.

Troubleshooting  
Executing an emergency emptying  
1 Warning! Switch off the washing machine and pull the mains plug  
before an emergency emptying!  
If the washing machine no longer pumps out the washing suds an  
emergency emptying must be carried out.  
Caution! The washing suds, which flow out of the emergency emptying  
hose can be hot. Risk of scalding! First allow the suds to cool down  
before an emergency emptying!  
0 Put down a flat container to catch the suds draining out.  
0 Pull down the flap in the left corner of  
the base strip and remove it.  
0 Release the emergency emptying hose  
from its holder.  
0 Pull the emergency emptying hose out a  
little.  
0 Place the container underneath to  
catch the water.  
0 Release the plugs of the emergency emp-  
tying hose by turning them anti-clock-  
wise and pull them out.  
The suds drain out. Depending on the  
amount of suds, it may be necessary to  
empty the container to catch the water  
several times. To do this, temporarily  
close the emergency emptying hose again  
with the plugs.  
34  
 
When the suds have drained out completely:  
0 Push the plug firmly back into the emergency emptying hose.  
0 Push the emergency emptying hose back in a little and let it catch onto  
the holder.  
0 Replace the flap in the base plate and close it.  
When the washing machine is completely empty, the ÖKO gate can no  
longer function correctly. Therefore before the next wash fill in approx  
1l water (pour it in through the washing powder compartment).  
3
Cleaning the suds pump  
1 Warning! Switch off the washing machine and pull the mains plug  
before cleaning the suds pump!  
0 First execute an emergency emptying (see previous section "Executing  
an emergency emptying").  
0 Place a floor cloth on the floor in front of the lid of the suds pump. Left  
over water could flow out.  
0 Unscrew the lid of the suds pump by  
twisting it anti-clockwise and pull it off.  
0 Remove any foreign bodies which may be  
in the pump housing.  
0 Check whether the impeller of the pump  
can be turned. (It is normal for the pump  
to jerk when running.) If the impeller  
cannot be turned at all please contact  
your customer service department.  
0 Replace the lid (insert the ridges on the  
lid into the guiding slots) and screw on  
tightly in a clockwise direction.  
0 Close the emergency emptying hose, push  
it in and fasten it.  
0 Close the flap.  
35  
 
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.  
The program duration and water consumption are increased by water  
cooling and/or the additional rinse.  
3
Position "1": Water Cooling  
The water is cooled prior to pumping out at the end of the main wash  
(by adding cold water). This setting is only effective for  
(COTTONS/LINEN) at a temperature of over 40 °C.  
Position "2": Water Cooling and Additional Rinse  
The water is cooled as in position 1, and an additional rinse is also per-  
formed during the

In the chapter "Troubleshooting" some disturbances have been summa-  
rised, which you can solve yourself. If you do not find any helpful infor-  
mation there, please contact your local Customer Service Centre.  
Addresses and phone numbers can be found in the separate Guarantee  
Conditions/Service Departments(supplied with the appliance).  
Be well prepared before you phone. This facilitates the diagnosis and  
the decision as to whether a customer service visit is necessary. With  
our checklist you can gather important information before making  
your call:  
Make a note of the PNC number and the Serial number (S-No.). They  
are both on the type plate behind the door of your washing machine.  
PNC ........................................  
S-No. ......................................  
If possible establish:  
How is the disturbance evident?  
Under what circumstances does the disturbance  
occur?  
When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?  
if you could have solved the disturbance yourself with the help of the  
Troubleshooting table (see section "Troubleshooting "),  
if the customer service engineer has to make several journeys because  
he did not receive all the necessary important information before his  
visit and now e.g. has to fetch spares. You can avoid these extra trips  
by preparing your telephone call properly in the way described above.
