Operating Instructions Consumption Values and Programme Times The following table gives the values for selected programmes under standard conditions. Consumption values depend on the selected pro- gramme settings (optional functions), washing type and quantity, water pressure, such as water inlet temperature, water hardness, room tem- perature or detergent used, etc.
The control system of your washing machine is fully electronic. The software which determines this control system can be reprogrammed. If a further improvement to washing technology is introduced by AEG, then your machine can be updated. The cost of the UPDATE will be ad- vised at the time of the request.
Operating Instructions Before the first wash Run a washing programme without laundry (selecting COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES 95, with half the normal amount of detergent). This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left during manufacturing. Preparing for a wash cycle Sorting and preparing the washing •...

Maintenance and Cleaning Control panel Important! Do not use household furniture polish or abrasive cleaners to clean panel and operating parts. Wipe over the operating panels with a damp cloth. Use warm water. Detergent Dispenser Drawer The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned from time to time. 1.
Important! Do not clean the stainless steel drum with descaling agents containing acids, scouring agents containing chlorine or iron, or steel wool. Your local AEG Service Force Centre has suitable agents available. Remove any rust stains on the drum using a stainless steel cleaning agent.
Cleaning the drain pump Paper clips, nails and so on can sometimes get into the washing ma- chine with the washing and remain in the drain pump casing. Fluff and strands of fabric can gather on these items and block the drain pump. Therefore the drain pump should be cleaned at least once a year.
After clearing the fault, press the START/PAUSE button. If the fault code is shown again, contact your local Service Force Centre. • For all other faults displayed in the multi-display, please contact your local AEG Service Force Centre, stating the fault code.

Operating Instructions If the washing results are not satisfactory If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in the drum • Insufficient detergent has been added. • Incorrect detergent was used. • Stains were not pre-treated. • Programme or temperature was not set correctly. •...
Carrying out an emergency emptying • If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water, emergency emptying must be carried out. • If the washing machine is located in a room in which below freezing temperatures might occur, emergency emptying must be carried out. Furthermore: unscrew the inlet hose from the water tap and drain off the water.
Operating Instructions When the water is completely drained: 6. Push the plug securely into the emergency emptying hose and turn it clockwise to secure it. 7. Replace the emergency emptying hose in its holder. 8. Put on the flap and close. Emergency unlocking of the door If the door cannot be opened, it can be opened using the emergency unlock feature.
Additional rinse cycle (RINSE+) The washing machine is set for very economical water consumption. However, for people who suffer from allergies to detergents, it can be helpful to rinse with extra water. If this function is selected, an extra rinse is added to the COTTONS/ LINEN, EASY-CARES, EASY IRON and DELICATES programmes.
Operating Instructions Water cooling It may be necessary to cool the water before draining, to prevent ther- mal damage to the plastic outlet pipes. The water is cooled before draining out at the end of the main wash (by adding cold water). (This setting is only available with the COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES programmes, with temperatures over 40 °C.) When the washing machine is delivered, water cooling is not set, except...
Variomatic spin The variomatic spin is integrated into the final spin. The washing does not cling to the side of the drum as much and can be taken out more easily. This can be set with the COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES pro- grammes.
Operating Instructions Programme Protection To protect a programme setting against unintentional changes or tam- pering (for example, programme selector turned or buttons pressed ac- cidentally, etc.), set the Programme Protection. This will protect your washing from damage. The Programme Protection can be set or released at any time while the programme is running.
Child Safety Feature If the child safety feature is set, the door cannot be closed and no washing programme can be started. Setting the child safety feature Use a coin to turn the rotary knob on the inside of the door clock- wise as far as it will go.

Remove the screw D, including the compression spring with the special spanner A. 4. Cover the hole with the cap C. Important! When fitting the plastic caps, press until they snap into the rear panel securely.
Installation-Site preparation • The installation surface must be clean, dry and level. Do not install on a deep pile carpet. • Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but should always be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet.
Installation and connection instructions Levelling the appliance Self adjusting foot: The rear foot of your washing machine is designed like a spring leg. This makes the machine very stable even at high spin speeds. If the washing machine is still not stable during spinning, proceed as follows: 1.
Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the...
Installation and connection instructions 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.
Water connection The washing machine is provided with safety devices preventing back- contamination of the water supply and complies with local water au- thority requirements. This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home’s water supply. Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Installation and connection instructions Inlet Hose Connection 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 your local Serv- ice Force Centre is permissible. –...
