Safety instructions  
Safety instructions  
The safety of AEG/ELECTROLUX appliances complies with the industry  
standards and with legal requirements on the safety of appliances.  
However, as manufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the fol-  
lowing safety notes.  
General safety  
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified person-  
nel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious  
danger. Contact your local AEG/ELECTROLUX 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 mainte-  
nance operations.  
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the sock-  
et; 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 elec-  
trocution 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 90, 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.

Child safety  
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances  
can be. When the machine is working, children 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 dan-  
gerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of chil-  
dren’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.  
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 manufactur-  
er accepts no responsibility for any 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 responsi-  
ble for any damage.  
• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water tap after use.

product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed  
over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and  
electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you

human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste  
handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of  
this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste  
disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.  
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 or soak  
in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is pro-  
tected too!).  
• Use the energy saving programme when washing normally soiled garments.  
• The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.  
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the rec-  
ommended amount of detergent.  
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be  
removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.  
50  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• If the water has a medium or high degree of hardness (starting from  
hardness degree II, see “Detergents and additives”) water softeners  
must be added.  
The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to hardness degree I (= soft).  
Main features of your washing machine  
• Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.  
Energy saving programmes (90E), (60E), (40E) for normally soiled  
cotton items.  
Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900, 600 rpm for L62895  
and 800, 600 rpm for L60895.  
RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to  
prevent creasing.  
Delay Start: programme start can be delayed up to 23 hours (e.g. to  
times with a more economical power rate).

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 take no responsibility for any 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.

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. Mea-  
sure 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.

Cleaning and maintenance  
After each wash  
At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a lit-  
tle to let it dry.  
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.  
Periodical cleaning  
Exterior  
Clean the outside of the cabinet with soap  
and water only. Rinse with clean water and  
dry.  
Important: do not use methylated spirits,  
solvents or similar products to clean the  
cabinet.  
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 compartments can be removed.  
Detergent can also accumulate inside the  
drawer recess: clean it with an old tooth-  
brush.  
Refit the drawer after cleaning.

Cleaning and maintenance  
Door seal  
Check from time to time the door seal and  
eliminate eventual possible objects that  
could be trapped in the fold.  
Drain pump  
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if  
the machine does not empty  
and/or spin  
the machine makes an unusual  
noise during draining due to  
objects such as safety pins, coins  
etc. blocking the pump.  
Proceed as follows:  
Disconnect the appliance.  
If necessary wait until the water  
has cooled down.  
Open the pump door.  
Place a container close to the  
pump to collect any spillage.  
Release the emergency emptying  
hose, place it in the container  
and remove its cap.  
When no more water comes out,  
unscrew the pump and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up  
spillage of water when removing the pump.

Cleaning and maintenance  
Remove any objects from the  
pump impeller by rotating it.  
Put the cap back on the emer-  
gency emptying hose and place  
the latter back in its seat.  
Screw the pump fully in.  
Close the pump door.  
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.  
Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush.  
Screw the hose back onto the tap.  
Emergency emptying out  
If the water is not discharged, proceed as fol-  
lows 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 down;  
open the the pump door;  
place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose  
into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the  
bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl.  
Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out;  
clean the pump if necessary as previously described;  
replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;  
screw the pump again and close the door.

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 emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in  
a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.  
Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying  
hose after having put the cap on again.  
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding ice  
forming and consequently damage to the appliance.  
When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature  
is above 0°C.  
Important!  
Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying hose  
you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the  
detergent drawer and then run the drain programme “C. This will acti-  
vate the ECO valve avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused  
at next washing.

whistling noise, different from the noise made by tradi-  
tional 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 aris-  
es, or to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the call-out will be  
charged even if requested within the guarantee period.  
During machine operation it is possible that an acoustic warning signal  
sounds, the FIN (END) light blinks and the following alarm codes may be  
displayed:  
- E10: problem with the water supply  
- E20: problem with water draining  
- E40: door open  
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button  
to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, con-  
tact your local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.

Something not working?  
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. How-  
ever 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 deter-  
gents.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet  
hose.  
2. Connect the hose with the angled con-  
nection to the machine.  
HEC0006  
Important!  
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left  
or right depending on the position of your water tap.  
3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the  
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut  
again to prevent leaks.  
4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4”  
thread.  
Always use the hose supplied with the appli-  
ance.

authority and building regulations’ require-  
ments. A minimum water pressure of 0.05  
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe operation of the appliance.  
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising  
mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water  
storage system. There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft)  
between theappliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

Installation  
Water drainage  
The end of the drain hose can be positioned  
in three ways:  
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the  
plastic hose guide supplied with the  
machine. In this case, make sure the end  
cannot come unhooked when the machine  
is emptying.  
This could be done by tying it to the tap  
with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.  
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that  
the bend is at  
least 60 cm above  
the ground.  
Directly into a  
drain pipe at a  
height of not less  
than 60 cm and  
not more than  
90 cm.  
The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside  
diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of  
the drain hose.  
The drain hose must not be kinked.

Installation  
Electrical connection  
This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase,  
50 Hz supply.  
Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum  
load required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in  
use.  
Connect the machine to an earthed socket.  
The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or  
injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.  
Permanent connection  
In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a  
double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply  
(mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and  
of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current  
electrical regulations.  
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any  
point.  
This operation must be performed by a qualified electrician.  
Important: The power supply cable must be easily accessible after  
installing the machine.
