Instructions for use
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 Instructions” later 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 de-
signed, the manufacturer can accept no liability for any resulting
damages.
• For safety reasons, conversions or modifications to the washing ma-
chine 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”).
6
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 ma-
chine – 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, de-
stroy 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 qualified
specialists. Incorrect repairs may result in significant risk to the user.
If repairs are necessary, consult our customer service or your special-
ist dealer.
• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the
conrol panel, work surface or base panel area are so badly damaged
that the interior of the unit is openly 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 circuit breaker at
the household power distribution box or completely remove 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 risk of fire with overheating!
• Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Risk of
electric shock!
• The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of wash programmes
with high temperatures. Do not touch!
• Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying out an emergency
emptying operation or cleaning the drain pump.
• 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.

Instructions for use
2 Disposal
Dispose the packing material!
Dispose of your washing machine's packaging correctly. All the packag-
ing materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recy-
cled.
• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:
>PE<
>PS<
for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material
for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free)
>POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips
• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and
should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.
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).

Instructions for use
Additional Program Buttons
The additional program buttons are for adapting
the washing program to the dirtiness of the wash-
ing. Additional programs are not required for
washing which is not excessively dirty.
Various functions can be combined with each
other, depending on the program.
PRE WASH (VORWÄSCHE, PRELAVAGE)
Warm pre wash before the main washing cycle
which follows on automatically; with intermediate
spin for COTTONS/LINEN (KOCH-/BUNTWÄSCHE,
BLANC/COULEURS), without intermediate spin for
EASY-CARES (PFLEGELEICHT, TEXTILES MELANGES) and DELICATES
(FEINWÄSCHE, DELICAT).

Instructions for use
What Does ”Update” Mean?
The washing programs of your washing machine are controlled by soft-
ware.
New types of textiles or new washing powders/liquids could, in the fu-
ture, require new washing programs. The software can be adapted to
these in most cases.
For further information on the ”Update”, consult the Customer Service.
You can also ask the Customer Service about the costs of an ”Update”.
Water Protection Aqua Control
In the event of damage to the supply hose, the system blocks the fur-
ther supply of water to the unit directly at the water tap.
If water escapes elsewhere, the drainage pump automatically pumps
off – even if the unit is switched off. The washing machine merely has
to be connected to the electricity mains.
14
Instructions for use
Before the First Wash
0
Carry out a washing operation without washing (COTTONS; KOCH-/
BUNTWÄSCHE, BLANC/COULEURS 95 °C, with half the quantity of
washing powder/liquid).
This removes residues left over from production on the drum and solu-
tion container.
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 ac-
cept 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 separately” and ”Wash
separately several times”!

Instructions for use
Washing Types and Care Codes
The care codes help you choose the correct washing program. The
washing should be sorted according to type and care code. The temper-
atures stated in the care codes are all maximum values.
Cottons ç
Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care code are insensitive to
mechanical stress and high temperatures. The program COTTONS/LINEN
(KOCH-/BUNTWÄSCHE, BLANC/COULEURS) is suitable for this type of
washing.
Linen è ë
Textiles made of cotton and linen with this care code are insensitive to
mechanical stresses. The program COTTONS/LINEN (KOCH-/BUNT-
WÄSCHE, BLANC/COULEURS) is suitable for this type of washing.
Easy-Care Garments ê í
Textiles such as finished cottons, cotton mixtures, viscose and synthet-
ics with this care code require mechanically more mild treatment. The
program EASY-CARES/EASY IRON (PFLEGELEICHT, TEXTILES MELANGES/
LEICHTBÜGELN, FACILE A REPASSER) is suitable for this type of wash-
ing.
Delicates ì
Textiles such as layered fibres, microfibres, viscose, synthetics and cur-
tains with this care code require very gentle treatment. The program
DELICATES (FEINWÄSCHE, DELICAT) is suitable for this type of washing.
Wool and Very Sensitive Washing 9 ì ï
Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with this care code are es-
pecially sensitive to mechanical stresses. The program WOOL (WOLLE,
LAINE)/P (handwash) is suitable for this type of textiles.
Attention! Textiles with the care code
washed in the washing machine!
(Do not wash!) must not be

Instructions for use
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 (LEICHTBÜGELN, FACILE A RE-
PASSER), 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.

If the washing result is not satisfactory
If the washing is grey and limescale forms in the drum
• Not enough washing detergent added.
• The right washing detergent was not used.
• Special types of stain were not pretreated.
• Program or temperature incorrectly set.
• If binary wahing detergents were used, the individual components
were not added in the correct ratio.
If there are still grey stains on the washing
• Washing contaminated with creams, grease or oils was washing with
too little detergent.
• Washing at too low temperature.
• A frequent cause is that conditioner – particularly concentrated
form, ended up on the washing. Wash out such stains as quickly as
possible and carefully use the right conditioner.
If foam is still visible after the final rinse
• Modern washing detergents can still produce foam, even in the final
rinse. The washing is still sufficiently rinsed.
If there are white residues on the washing
• These are the insoluble components of modern detergents.
They are not the result of an insufficient rinsing effect.
Shake or brush off the washing. Perhaps in future you should turn
the washing before washing it. Check the choice of detergent and use
a liquid detergent if necessary.

pending on the amount of solution, it
may be necessary to empty the collect-
ing vessel several times. To do this, tem-
porarily close the emergency emptying
hose again with the plug.

Safety Instructions for Installation
• Do not tilt the washing machine onto its front or onto its right side
(looking from the front). Electrical components could get wet!
• Check the washing machine for transport damage. Never connect a
damaged unit. Consult your supplier in the event of damage.
• Ensure that all parts of the transport safeguard have been removed
and that the splash guard is fitted to the unit, see ”Removing the
Transport Safeguard”. Otherwise, damage to the unit or to adjacent
furniture could occur during spinning.
• Always insert the plug into a correctly installed PE socket.
• In the case of permanent installation: A permanent installation may
only be made by an authorised specialist.
• Before putting the unit into operation, ensure that the rated voltage
and current type shown on the unit's rating plate are the same as the
mains voltage and current type at the installation location. The re-
quired electrical fuse is also shown on the rating plate.
• The mains cable may only be replaced by the Customer Service or by
an authorised specialist.
42
Setting up and connection instructions
Setting Up the Unit
Washing machines with curved panels are not suitable for substruc-
tures.
3
Transporting the Unit
• Do not place the washing machine on its front side or on its right side
(looking from the front). Otherwise the electrical components can get
wet.
• Never transport the unit without using the transport safeguard. Do
not remove the transport safeguard until you reach the installation
site. Transporting the unit without the transport safeguard can result
in damage to the unit.
• Never lift the unit by the open filling door or by its base.
When transporting the unit with a sack trolley:
• Attach the sack trolley only at the side. The scoop of the sack trolley
must not be longer than 24cm, otherwise the float switch can be de-
stroyed.
Remove the Transport Safeguard
Attention! It is essential to re-
move the transport safeguard be-
fore putting the unit into
operation! Keep all parts of the
transport safeguard in a safe
place for possible later transport
(moving house).
01. Open both hose holders on the
rear of the unit and remove the
hoses and the mains cable.
43
Setting up and connection instructions
2. Firmly pull both hose holders off
the unit.
The special button E and the plug
caps D (2 ea.) and G (1 ea.) are
supplied with the unit.
3
3. Unscrew the two screws A using
the special button E.
4. Unscrew the four screws B using
the special button E.
5. Remove the transport rail C.
6. Screw the four screws B back in.
7. Close off the two large holes with
the plug caps D.
Attention! Push in the plug caps
so firmly that they engage in the
rear panel (this protects the inside
of the unit against splash water).
8. Remove the screw F, including the
compression spring with the spe-
cial button E.
9. Close off the hole with the plug
cap G.
Attention! Push in the plug cap
so firmly that it engages in the
rear panel (this protects the inside
of the unit against splash water).
44
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 in-
stalled and is therefore least likely to be susceptible to vibrations.
45
Setting up and connection instructions
Compensate for Floor Unevenness
Automatic Adjustment Foot: Your washing machine's rear left foot is
of a spring leg design. This guarantees good stability of the unit, even
at high spinning speeds.
3
If the washing machine still does not stand firmly enough during spin-
ning, proceed as follows:
01. Adjust the three adjustment feet
to the setpoint 10mm. To do this,
use the supplied special button to
remove the transport safeguard.
If the automatic adjustment foot
still does not reach the floor:
2. Manually extend the automatic
adjustment foot (rear left) by the
necessary amount.
3. If necessary, check the setting
with a spirit level.
Attention! Never use wood, card
or similar underlays to compen-
sate for minor floor unevenness. Always use the adjustable screw-type
feet of the machine.
46
Setting up and connection instructions
Electrical Connection
Refer to the rating plate for details
of the mains voltage, current type
and the necessary fuses. The rating
plate is located at the top behind
the filling door.
This unit conforms to the following
EU directives:
;
– the ”Low Voltage Directive" 73/23/EU with changes
– the ”EMC Directive" 89/336/EWG with changes
Water Connection
The washing machine has safety features which prevent contamination
3
of the drinking water and which conform to the legal regulations of
the water authorities (e.g. for Germany: DVGW regulations). Other pro-
tection measures in the installation are therefore not necessary.
Attention!
– Units for connection to cold water must not be connected to hot wa-
ter!
– Use only new sets of hoses for connection!
Permissible Water Pressure
The water pressure must be at least 1bar (= 10N/cm2 = 0.1MPa), maxi-
mum 10bar (= 100N/cm2 = 1MPa).
• In the case of more than 10bar: Connect a pressure-reducing valve
upstream.
• In the case of less than 1bar: Unscrew the intake hose on the unit
side on the inlet solenoid valve and remove the flow regulator (to do
this, remove the filter with pointed pliers and remove the rubber
washer behind). Replace the filter.
47
Setting up and connection instructions
Water Inflow
A pressure hose 1.5m in length is supplied.
If a longer inflow hose is required, only a VDE-approved, complete set
of hoses with fitted hose screw connections offered by our Customer
Service is permissible.
– Sets of hoses in lengths of 2.2m, 3.5m and 5m are available for
washing machines without Aqua-Control.
– Sets of hoses in lengths of 2.0m, 2.9m and 3.9m are available for
washing machines with Aqua-Control.
Attention! Never cut into pieces in order to extend the hoses!
Sealing rings are supplied either in the plastic
nuts of the hose screw connection or in the en-
closed pack. Do not use other seals!
3
01. Connect the hose with the angled connection to
the machine.
Attention!
– Do not lay the supply hose
vertically downwards. Rather,
turn it to the right or left as
shown in the diagram.
– Only tighten the screw
connection manually.
2. Connect the hose with the
straight connection to a water tap with a screw
thread of R 3/4 (inches).
Attention! Only tighten the screw connection
manually.
3. By slowly opening the water tap before putting
the washing machine into operation, check
whether the connection is free of leaks.

Setting up and connection instructions
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.
49
Setting up and connection instructions
Delivery Heads over 1m

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 in-
formation 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?
• Does the multidisplay show an error message?
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 be-
cause 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.
