Operating Instructions  
Operating Instructions  
1 Safety  
The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted  
technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as  
manufacturers we regard it as our responsibility to inform you about  
the following safety instructions.  
Before Using for the First Time  
Refer to the "Installation and Connection Instructions" further on in  
this user information.  
If units are delivered in the winter months at minus temperatures:  
Store the washing machine at room temperature for a few hours be-  
fore putting it into operation.  
Correct Use  
The washing machine is only intended for washing normal domestic  
washing. If the appliance is used for a wrong purpose or wrongly op-  
erated, the manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any dam-  
ages.  
Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly for-  
bidden due to safety reasons.  
Use only detergent which is suitable for washing machines. Refer to  
the detergent manufacturer's instructions.  
The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also bear this  
in mind when washing pre-cleaned washing.  
Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.  
Dyes /dye-removing agents may only be used in the washing machine  
if the manufacturer expressly permits use of these products. We can-  
not accept liability for any damage.  
Use only water from the water mains. Use rain water or service water  
only if it meets the requirements defined in DIN 1986 and DIN 1988.  
Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine  
is in a room subject to possible frost hazards, emergency emptying  
must be carried out if there is a risk of frost (see the Section "Carry-  
ing out emergency emptying“).

Operating Instructions  
Safety of Children and Infirm Persons  
Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for  
children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.  
The appliance is not intendet for use by young children or infirm per-  
sons without supervision.  
Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling  
electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly super-  
vised during operation and never allow children to play with the  
washing machine -there is a risk that they can lock themselves inside it.  
Ensure that children or small animals do not climb into the washing  
machine's drum.  
When disposing of washing machines pull out the mains plug, destroy  
the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and dispose of the  
plug and remaining cable. This means that playing children cannot  
shut themselves in and cannot encounter a potentially lethal hazard.  
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.  
If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-  
ply and shut off the tap.  
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!  
7
 
Operating Instructions  
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.  
2 Disposal  
Disposing of the Packaging Material!  
Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakka-  
ging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable.  
Plastic parts are identified with internationally standardised abbrevi-  
ations:  
>PE<  
>PS<  
for polyethylene, e.g. packing films.  
for polystyrene, e.g. cushion parts (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.  
Disposing of your old appliance!  
When you put your unit out of operation one day, please bring it to  
your nearest recycling centre or to your dealer.

Operating Instructions  
2 Environmental tips  
A pre-wash cycle is not necessary in the case of washing which is not  
excessively dirt. This saves detergent, water and time (and is gentle on  
the environment.)  
If the indicated load capacities are taken full advantage of, the wash-  
ing machine is especially efficient.  
For small loads, use only one half to one third of the recommended  
detergent quantity.  
Suitable pre-treatment enables marks and limited amounts of dirt to  
be removed. You can then wash at a lower temperature.  
Wash slightly to normally dirty cottons with the energy-saving pro-  
gram.  
There is often no need for the softener. Try it once! If you use a drier,  
your washing will become soft and fluffy even without a softener.  
In the case of medium to high water hardness (hardness range runs to  
upwards, see "Detergent and care agents“), you should use a water  
softener. The detergent can then always be metered for hardness  
range I (= soft).

Operating Instructions  
Before the First Wash  
01. 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 (t/COTTONS/LINEN 95 °C,  
with half the amount of washing detergent). This removes residues left  
over from production on the drum and solution container.  
Prepare washing cycle  
Sort washing and prepare  
Sort the washing according to the care symbol and type (see "Wash-  
ing types and care codes").  
Empty all pockets.  
Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).  
To prevent damage to the washing and tangled washing: Close zip  
fasteners, button bed and pillow covers closed, tie up loose strings  
e.g. of aprons.  
Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,  
anoraks etc.).  
In the case of knitted coloured textiles and also with wool and tex-  
tiles with jewelry attached: turn inside out.  
Wash small and sensitive items (e.g. baby socks, tights and stockings,  
bras etc.) in a washing net, a cushion with a zip fastener or in larger  
socks.  
Handle curtains with particular care. Metal rollers or burred, plastic  
rollers must be removed or tied into a net or bag. We cannot accept  
liability for damage.  
Coloureds and white items must not be washed together in a washing  
cycle. This could discolour white washing or turn it grey.  
There is often excess dye in new, coloured items. It is best to wash  
such items separately the first time.  
Mix small and large items. This improves the washing effect and the  
washing is more favourably distributed during spinning.  
14  
 
Operating Instructions  
Fluff washing before placing into the washing machine.  
Do not place folded washing into the drum.  
Pay attention to the care instruction "wash separately" and "wash  
separately several times".  
Types of Washing and Care Symbols  
Care symbols help you to choose the correct wash programme.  
Washing should be sorted by type, and according to their care symbols.  
The temperature indicated on the care symbol is the maximum wash  
temperature.  
Cottons ç  
Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not sensitive to ma-  
chine washing or high temperatures. The t(COTTONS/LINEN) pro-  
gramme is suitable for this type of washing.  
Linen èë  
Cotton and linen items with this care symbol are not sensitive to ma-  
chine washing. The t(COTTONS/LINEN) programme is suitable for  
this type of washing.  
Easy-Cares êí  
Materials such as fine cotton, wool-blend fabrics, viscose, and synthet-  
ics with these care symbols require gentler treatment. The }(EASY-  
CARES)/<(EASY IRON) programmes are suitable for this type of  
washing.  
Delicatesì  
Materials such as layered fibres, microfibres, viscose, synthetics, and net  
curtains with this care symbol require particularly careful treatment.  
The Ã(DELICATES) programme is suitable for this type of washing.  
Wool/silk and especially sensitive materials 9ìï  
Woollens, wool blends and silk with these care symbols are particularly  
sensitive to machine washing. The s(WOOL)/Ñ(SILK)  
P(Handwash) programme is suitable for this type of washing.  
Important! Materials with the care symbol  
(Not machine-washa-  
ñ
ble!) should not be washed in the washing machine.  
15  
 
Operating Instructions  
Detergents and care agents  
Which detergent and care agent?  
Use only detergents and care agents which are suitable for use in wash-  
ing machines. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.  
How much detergent and care agent?  
The required quantity depends upon:  
extent of soiling of the washing  
on the hardness class of the mains water  
the amount of washing  
If the detergent manufacturer does not give any metering quantities  
2
for small loads, add a third less for half a load or only half the amount  
of detergent for small loads for <(EASY IRON) which is recommen-  
ded for a full load.  
Observe the instructions for use and dosing provided by the detergent  
and conditioner manufacturer.  
Water softener  
For medium to high water hardness (hardness class II upwards), you  
should use softener. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions. Then al-  
ways add the appropriate amount of detergent for hardness class I  
(= soft). The responisable water works will provide information on the  
local water hardness.  
Since the water softener is rinsed in before the main detergent (water  
pre-softening), 80% of the stated quantity of softener shown on the  
package is sufficient.

Washing machines with curved panels are not suitable for installing  
under units.  
3
Transporting the appliance  
Do not place the washing machine on its front or on its right side  
(viewed from the front). Otherwise, electrical components can get  
wet.  
Never transport the unit without the transport safeguard. Do not re-  
move the transport safeguard until the appliance is at the installation  
location. Transporting the unit without the transport safeguard can  
damage it.  
Lift the appliance neither by an open filling door nor by the base.  
When transporting the unit with a sack trolley: Attach the sack trol-  
ley only at the side.  
Remove transport packaging  
Important! It is essential to re-  
move the transport packaging be-  
fore putting the appliance into  
operation. Keep all parts of the  
transport packaging in a safe  
place for future use.  
01. Open both hose holders on the  
appliance's rear side and remove  
the hoses and mains cable.  
2. Pull both hose holders off the ap-  
pliance with a strong pull.

Installation and connection instructions  
Prepare the installation place  
The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor polish  
residues and other greasy coatings so that the unit does not slip  
away. Do not use lubricants as a sliding aid.  
Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs  
is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is  
then no longer ensured.  
By installation surfaces with small-format tiles, lay a conventional  
rubber mat underneath.  
Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by  
laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but rather should al-  
ways be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet.  
If, for space reasons, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit di-  
rectly next to a gas or coal-fired cooker: install a thermal insulation  
panel between the cooker and washing machine (85 x 57cm) which  
must have an aluminium film 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 hazard!  
Flexible feed and drain tubings may not be crinkled or squeezed.  
Installation on a concrete base  
If the unit is set up on a concrete base,  
for safety reasons it is essential to fit  
stand plates in which the washing ma-  
chine is adjusted. The stand plates are  
available from Customer Service under  
the spare parts number 645 425 058.  
Installation on vibrating floors  
Where the floor vibrates, particularly in the case of wooden beam  
floors with pliable boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden  
panel at least 15mm thick onto at least 2 floor planks. If possible, set up  
the unit in the corner of a room, as the wooden floor is optimally re-  
strained there and is therefore least likely to be subject to resonance vi-  
brations.  
41  
 
Installation 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 the range +10 .. -5mm.  
To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied for removing the  
transport braces.  
01. Slide the special key firmly onto  
the hexagon head of the threa-  
ded 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.  
Important! Minor unevenness of  
the floor surface should never be  
levelled out by laying pieces of  
wood, card or similar materials,  
but rather should always be com-  
pensated for by adjusting the adjustable feet.

Installation and connection instructions  
Electrical connection  
Details of the mains voltage, current  
type and required fuses can be  
found on the rating plate. The ra-  
ting plate is located at the top  
above the filling door.  
For permanent electrical connection  
within the electrical circuit, provi-  
sions must be made which allow for electrical disconnection of the ap-  
pliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least 3 mm at all  
poles. Suitable devices include circuit breakers, fuses (threaded fuses  
must be entirely removed from the socket), ground fault circuit inter-  
rupters and contactors. Permanent connection may only be carried out  
by an authorised electrician.  
This appliance complies with the following EC directives:  
The "Low Voltage Directive" 72/23/EU with changes  
The "EMC Directive" 89/336/EU with changes  
;
Water connection  
The washing machine has safety features which prevent back-contami-  
3
nation of the drinking water and which conform to the national regu-  
lations of the water authorities (e.g. for Germany: DVGW guidelines).  
This means that additional protective measures in the installation are  
not necessary.  
Important!  
Units for connecting to cold water must not be connected to hot wa-  
ter.  
Use only new hose sets for the connection.  
Permissible water pressure  
The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (= 10 N/cm2 = 0.1 Mpa), max-  
imum 10 bar = 100 N/cm2 = 1 Mpa).  
If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure-reduction valve upstream.  
If less than 1 bar: Unscrew the inlet hose on the unit side at the sole-  
noid intake valve and remove the flow regulator (to do this, remove  
the filter with pointed pliers and take out the rubber washer behind).  
Replace the filter.  
43  
 
Installation and connection instructions  
Water inflow  
A pressure hose of 1.35m 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.  
Hose sets in lengths of 2.2m, 3.5m and 5m are available for washing  
machines without Aqua-Control.  
Hose sets in lengths of 2.0m, 2.9m and 3.5m are available for washing  
machines with Aqua-Control.  
Important! 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 enc-  
losed pack. Do not use other seals!  
3
01. Connect the hose with the angled connection to  
the machine.  
Important!  
Do not lay the inlet hose verti-  
cally downwards, instead run it  
to the right or left as shown in  
the diagram.  
Tighten the hose screw connec-  
tion only by hand.  
2. Connect the hose with the  
straight connection to a water valve with a  
screw thread R 3/4 (inches).  
Important! Only tighten the screw connection  
manually.  
3. By slowly opening the water valve before  
putting the washing machine into operation,  
check that the connection is free of leaks.

Installation and connection instructions  
Water drain  
The drainage hose can either be connected to a siphon or hung in a  
wash basin or discharge basin or a bath tub.  
Only original hoses may be used for extensions (max. 3m laid on the  
floor and then up to 80cm high). Customer Service stocks drainage  
hoses in lengths of 2.7 and 4m.  
Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.  
Water drain-off inside a siphon  
The grommet on the hose end fits all  
standard siphon types.  
Secure the connection between the  
grommet and siphon with a hose clamp.  
0
Water drain-off inside a basin  
Important!  
Small basins are not suitable for  
drainage. Water could overflow!  
The end of the drainage hose must not  
be submerged in the pumped-out wa-  
ter. Otherwise, the water could be  
sucked back into the unit.  
When hanging in a wash basin or a  
bath tub, the drainage hose must be  
secured with the supplied attachable  
bend to prevent it slipping. The back-  
surge force of the escaping water  
could otherwise force the hose out of  
the basin.  
0
Tie the bend to the tap or the wall using  
a piece of string.  
Delivery heads over 1m  
To pump off the washing / rinsing solution, every washing machine has  
a drain pump which carries liquids up to a height of 1m via the drain-  
age hose, calculated from the machine's standing surface.  
Please contact Customer Service for delivery heads of over 1m.

In the chapter "What to do if...“ , some faults are listed which you can  
remedy yourself. Look there first if a fault occurs. If you do not find any  
information there, please consult your Customer Service. (You can find  
the addresses and telephone numbers in the section "Customer Service  
Centres.)  
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  
S. number. You will find both on the  
rating plate on the inside of the door  
of 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 remedied the fault yourself with the aid of the fault  
table (see the section "What to do if..."),  
If several journeys by the customer service technician are necessary  
because for example he did not receive all the important information  
before his visit and must collect spare parts. These multiple trips can  
be avoided if you prepare your phone call as described above.
