INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
1 Safety  
The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to the recognised  
technical regulations and the legislation covering the safety of appli-  
ances. 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 Instructionslater in this  
user information.  
When the unit is delivered in winter months with minus tempera-  
tures: Store the washing machine for 24 hours at room temperature  
before putting it into operation.  
Correct Use  
The washing machine is only designed for normal domestic washing.  
If the unit is used for purposes other than that for which it is  
designed, the manufacturer can accept no liability for any resulting  
damages.  
For safety reasons, conversions or modifications to the washing  
machine are not permissible.  
Use only detergents which are suitable for washing machines. Follow  
the washing detergent manufacturer's instructions.  
The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also remem-  
ber this when washing pre-cleaned washing.  
Do not use the washing machine for chemical cleaning.  
Dyes/dye removers may only be used in washing machines if the  
manufacturer expressly allows these products. We cannot be held lia-  
ble for any resulting damage.  
Use only water from the water mains. Use rainwater or service water  
only if it meets the requirements outlined in DIN1986 and DIN1988.  
Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine  
is in a room which is at risk from frost, an emergency emptying oper-  
ation must be carried out when there is a frost risk (see the section  
Carry Out Emergency Emptying).

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 dur-  
ing operation and do not allow children to play with the washing  
machine there is a risk that children can get trapped inside.  
Ensure that children or small animals cannot climb into the washing  
machine's drum.  
When disposing of the washing machine: Pull out the mains plug,  
destroy the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and throw  
away the plug and the left-over cable. This means that children at  
play cannot shut themselves inside and in so doing be in danger.  
General Safety  
Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by skilled  
persons. Incorrect repairs can cause significant hazards. If repairs are  
necessary, consult our Customer Service or your specialist dealer.  
Never put the washing machine into operation if the mains cable is  
damaged or if the control panel, work top or base area are damaged  
in such a way that the inside of the unit is open and accessible.  
Switch off the washing machine before carrying out cleaning, care  
and maintenance work. Also pull the mains plug out of the socket or,  
if it is permanently connected, switch off the LS switch in the  
fuse box or completely unscrew the screw-in fuse.  
Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the socket. Always pull  
the plug itself.  
Multiple connectors, couplings and extension cables must not be  
used. There is a fire risk with overheating!  
Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Electric  
shock risk!  
The glass in the filling door becomes hot in the case of washing pro-  
grams with high temperatures. Do not touch!  
Allow the washing solution to cool down before emergency emptying  
of the unit, before cleaning or before emergency opening of the fill-  
ing door.  
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 packaging  
materials are environmentally compatible and can be disposed of with-  
out risk or incinerated at a refuse combustion plant.  
The plastics can also be reused:  
The outer sleeve and the bags are made of polyethylene (code >PE<).  
The cushioned parts are made of foamed, CFC-free polystyrene  
(code >PS<).  
The card parts were made from recylced paper and should also be  
returned in the waste paper collection.  
Dispose the old appliance!  
When you finally put your appliance out of operation,  
please bring it to your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.  
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 recom-  
mended amount of washing powder/liquid.  
Suitable pretreatment enables stains and small amounts of dirt to be  
removed. You can then wash at a lower temperature.  
Use the energy-saving program to wash garments which are lightly to  
moderately dirty.  
There is often no need for conditioner. Try it once! If you use a dryer,  
your washing will become soft and velvety even without conditioner.  
In the case of medium to high water hardness, (hardness range II or  
higher, see Washing and Care Agents), you should use water sof-  
tener.  
The washing powder/liquid can then always be metered for hardness  
range I (= soft).

What Does UpdateMean?  
The washing programs of your washing machine are controlled by soft-  
ware.  
New types of textiles or new washing powders/liquids could, in the  
future, require new washing programs. The software can be adapted to  
these in most cases.  
When new washing programs are available, you can also use them in  
your washing machine by having the software updated.  
For further information on the Update, consult the Customer Service.  
You can also ask the Customer Service about the costs of an Update.  
Before the First Wash  
0 1. Pull out the washing powder drawer slightly.  
2. Pour about 1 litre of water through the washing powder drawer into  
the washing machine. With the next program start, this will close the  
solution container and the eco-sluice can function correctly.  
3. Run the washing cycle without washing (COTTONS/WITTE WAS, BLANC  
95 °C, with half the amount of washing detergent). This removes resi-  
dues left over from production on the drum and solution container.

Instructions for use  
Prepare the Washing Cycle  
Sort and Prepare the Washing  
Sort the washing according to care codes and type (see Washing  
Types and Care Codes).  
Empty pockets.  
Remove metal parts (paper clips, safety pins etc.).  
To prevent washing damage and washing snags: Close zip fasteners,  
button closed bed covers and pillow cases, and tie together ribbons,  
e.g. on aprons.  
Use clothing made of double-layer fabric (sleeping bag, anorak etc.).  
On knitted, coloured textiles and on wool and textiles with fitted  
decorations: Turn inside out.  
Wash small and sensitive items (baby socks, stockings, tights, bras  
etc.) in a washing net, a cushion with a zip fastener or in larger socks.  
Treat curtains with particular care. Remove small metal rollers or  
small, burred rollers or tie them in a net or in a bag. We cannot  
accept any liability for damage.  
Do not wash coloureds and whites together in one washing cycle.  
Otherwise, whites will discolour or turn grey.  
New coloureds often contain surplus dye. It is best to wash such  
items separately the first time.  
Mix small and large items of washing! This speeds up theeffect of  
washing and the washing is more favourably distributed during spin-  
ning.  
Loosen up the washing before loading it into the washing machine.  
Put the washing into the drum folded out.  
Pay attention to the care instructions Wash separatelyand Wash  
separately several times!

Washing Detergents and Care Agents  
Which washing detergent and care agent?  
Use only washing detergents and care agents which are suitable for use  
in washing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.  
How much washing detergent and care agent?  
The amount to be used depends on:  
the dirtiness of the washing  
the hardness category of the mains water supply  
the filling quantity  
If the detergent manufacturer gives no details of the dosing quantities  
for minimum loads, add one third less for half loads and, in the case of  
very small loads and for EASY IRON (STRIJKVRIJ, SANS REPASSAGE),  
only half the amount of detergent recommended for a full load.  
2
Refer to the detergent/care agent manufacturer's instructions on use  
and dosage.  
Water Softener  
For medium to high water hardness (hardness category II or higher) you  
should use water softener. Pay attention to the manufacturer's instruc-  
tions. Always then meter detergent for hardness category I (= soft). The  
responsible water works can provide information on the local water  
hardness.  
Since the water softener is added before the main washing detergent,  
(water pre-softening), eighty percent of the softener quantity stated on  
the package is sufficient.

Setting up and connection instructions  
Prepare the Installation Location  
The installation surface must be clean, dry and free of floor wax resi-  
due and other lubricating coatings so that the unit does not slide  
away. Do not use any lubricants as sliding aids.  
It is not recommended to set up the washing machine on deep-pile  
carpets or on floor coverings with soft foam underlays, as this would  
mean that the stability of the unit would not be guaranteed.  
Use ordinary rubber mats as underlays in locations with small-format  
tiles.  
Never use wood, card or similar underlays to compensate for minor  
floor unevenness. Always use the adjustable screw-type feet of the  
machine.  
If, for reasons of space, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit  
next to a gas cooker or coal stove: Insert a thermally-insulating panel  
between the washing machine and the cooker (85 x 57cm). This panel  
must have an aluminium foil on the side against the cooker.  
The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there  
is a danger of frost. Frost damage!  
The intake and drainage hoses must not be bent or pinched.  
Setting Up on a Concrete Pedestal  
When setting up the washing machine on  
a concrete pedestal, it is essential for  
safety reasons to fit stand plates in which  
the washing machine is then adjusted.  
The stand plates are available from the  
Customer Service under spare part  
number 645 425 058.  
Setting Up on a Vibrating floor  
In the case of vibrating floors, especially wooden beam floors with flex-  
ible boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden panel at least  
15mm thick onto at least 2 of the floor beams. If possible, set up the  
unit in a corner of the room where the wooden floor is best firmly  
installed and is therefore least likely to be susceptible to vibrations.

Setting up and connection instructions  
Compensate for Floor Unevenness  
Floor unevenness can be compensated for and the height can be cor-  
rected with the four adjustable screw feet. The height can be adjusted  
in a range of +10 ... -5 mm.  
To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied for removing the  
transport braces.  
0 1. Slide the special key firmly onto  
the hexagon head of the  
threaded foot as far as it will go.  
2. Adjust the screw feet so that the  
unit is horizontal and stable. The  
unit must not wobble over when  
loaded.  
3. If necessary, check the setting  
with a spirit level.  
Attention! Never compensate for  
minor floor unevenness with  
underlays made of wood, card  
etc. Always adjust the adjustable  
feet.

Water Drainage  
The drainage hose can either be connected to a siphon or hung in a  
wash basin or bath tub.  
Only original hoses may be used for extension purposes (max. 3m on  
the floor and then up to 80cm high). The Customer Service stocks hoses  
in lengths of 2.7 and 4m.  
Attention! It is absolutely essential to install the drainage hose free of  
pinches.  
Water Drainage into a Siphon  
The grommet on the end of the hose fits  
all commonly used siphon types.  
Secure the grommet/siphon connecting  
point with a hose clamp.  
0
Draining the water into a basin  
Attention!  
Small basins are not suitable for  
draining the water into them.  
Water could overflow!  
It is not permitted to submerge the  
end of the drainage hose into the  
pumped-off water. Water could be  
sucked up into the hose!  
When hooked into a wash-basin or a  
bath tub the drainage hose must be  
protected from slipping out of place  
by the supplied slip-on elbow. Other-  
wise the repelling power of the drain-  
ing water can press the hose out of the  
sink.  
0
Fix the elbow to the water tap or to the  
wall with string.

In the section What to do if ...there is a list of some faults which you  
can remedy yourself. Look there first if a fault occurs. If you find no  
information there, please consult your Customer Service Centre.  
Always prepare in advance for the discussion. By doing so you will sim-  
plify the diagnosis and the decision on whether customer service is  
necessary.  
Note the PNC-number and the  
S-number. Both can be found on the  
rating plate on the inside of the door  
on your washing machine.  
PNC .....................................................  
S-No. .....................................................  
Answer as precisely as possible:  
What form does the fault take?  
Under what circumstances does the fault occur?  
When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?  
if you could have dealt with the fault yourself with the aid of the  
Faults Table (see the section What to do if ...),  
if several trips by the customer service technician are necessary  
because he had not received all the necessary information before his  
visit and must now e.g. fetch spare parts. These multiple trips can be  
avoided if you prepare your phone call as described above.
