Safety instructions  
The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and  
with legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as man-  
ufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the following 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 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 60, 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.

Safety instructions  
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.

Disposal  
Packaging materials  
The materials marked with the symbol  
>PE<=polyethylene  
are recyclable.  
>PS<=polystyrene  
>PP<=polypropylene  
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in  
appropriate collection containers.  
Machine  
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your  
country tidy!  
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 in order  
to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected 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.  
• 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).

Description of the appliance  
Detergent dispenser drawer  
Compartment for prewash or soak detergent and stain remover. The prewash  
or soak detergent is added at the beginning of the wash programme. The  
stain remover is added during the STAIN-Action phase in the main wash.  
Compartment for powder or liquid detergent used for main wash.  
It is emptied at the beginning of the wash cycle.  
Compartment for liquid additives (fabric softener, starch).  
It is emptied at the last rinse.  
The quantity of additives must not exceed the “MAX” mark in the  
drawer.  
Before the first wash  
Before your first wash, we recommend that you run a cotton cycle at  
60°C, without any laundry in the machine, to remove any manufac-  
turing residue from the drum and tub.  
Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the  
machine.

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.

Door seal  
Check from time to time the door seal and  
eliminate eventual possible objects that could  
be trapped in the fold.  
Drain filter  
The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in  
the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean.  
Open the filter

under a running  
tap, then refit it,  
screwing it fully in.  
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 with a stiff brush.  
Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Cleaning and maintenance  
Emergency emptying out  
If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain pipe are  
clogged), proceed as follows 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;  
• place a bowl on the floor;  
• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out.  
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for  
example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen  
the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come  
out slowly.  
At the end screw the filter again.  
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 drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed  
on the floor.  
• Select the “DRAIN” programme “C” and run it until the machine stops.  
• Turn the programme selector dial to O (RESET).  
• Remove the plug from the power socket.  
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its  
place.  
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 temper-  
ature is above 0°C.

Something not working?  
If during the spin cycle the machine makes an unusual  
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 arises,  
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 the following alarm codes may be displayed:  
- E10: problem with the water supply (phase light  
- E20: problem with water draining (phase light

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.

Installation  
Unpacking  
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appli-  
ance.  
Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the  
rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on  
its back, taking care not to squash the hoses.  
This can be avoided by placing one of the  
corner packing pieces between the machine  
and the floor.  
025  
Remove the  
polystyrene  
block from the  
bottom of the  
machine and  
release the two  
plastic bags  
which are fixed  
under the filter  
door.

1
Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then the left-hand bag (2) by  
pulling them towards the centre of the machine.  
Set the machine  
upright and  
remove the two  
remaining bolts  
from the back.  
Pull out the three  
plastic spacers  
from the holes into  
which the bolts  
were fitted.  
Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find in the plastic bag  
containing the instruction booklet.  
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the  
machine ever has to be transported again.

Installation  
Positioning  
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.  
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by  
carpets, rugs etc.  
• Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.  
• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of  
wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.  
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas  
cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered  
with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be  
inserted between the two appliances;  
• The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature  
can drop below 0.  
• The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.  
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessi-  
ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.  
Levelling  
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable  
feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood  
or similar materials under the machine to  
compensate for any unevenness in the  
floor.  
Water inlet  
Connect the  
water inlet hose  
supplied with the  
machine to a  
separate tap  
with a 3/4"  
thread. Do not  
use already  
employed hoses.  
The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be  
turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and  
retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.  
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not  
wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose spe-  
cially designed for this type of use.

(Nero/Process Black pellicola)  
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. Run it along the floor; only the part  
near the drainage point must be raised.  
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.

(Nero/Process Black pellicola)  
Installation  
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.
