PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Special features
Your new washer-dryer meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption and proper care of fabric.

• The ProSense technology detects the laundry load size defining the programme duration in 30 seconds. The washing programme is tailored to the laundry load and the type of fabric without consuming more time, energy and water than necessary.

• The STEAM mode is a quick and easy way to refresh the clothes. The gentle steam phase removes odours and reduces creases in dry fabrics so they need little ironing.
  The steam relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric creasing. Ironing will be easier!

• The AEG Steam Fragrance – thanks to the steam mode – offers the perfect solution for refreshing even the most delicate garments without washing. Use the delicate fragrance exclusively developed by AEG to add a pleasant feeling of “just-washed” garment to the removing odours and wrinkles action.

HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.

• Divide the laundry into: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Follow the washing instructions on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash white and coloured items together.

• Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend that you wash them separately for the first couple of times.

• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside out.

• Pre-treat stubborn stains.

• Wash stubborn stains with a special detergent.

• Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.

• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration. If this occurs: a. interrupt the programme and open the door (refer to “Daily Use” chapter); b. manually redistribute the load so that the items are spaced evenly around the tub; c. press the Start/Pause button. The spin phase continues.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts, cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any other loose elements.

• Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
  

• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
  

15.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available.
Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
Do not spray stain remover on garments near the appliance as it is corrosive to the plastic parts.

15.3 Detergent type and quantity
The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps to avoid waste and protect the environment:

• Use only detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines. First, follow these generic rules:
  – powder detergents (also tablets and single-dose detergents) for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization,
  – liquid detergents (also single-dose detergents) , preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60 °C max) for all types of fabric, or special ones for woollens only.

• The choice and quantity of detergent will depend on: type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc), the colour of clothes, size of the load, degree of soiling, wash temperature and hardness of the water used.

• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level (MAX ).

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• Use less detergent if:
  – you are washing a small load,
  – the laundry is lightly soiled,
  – there is large amounts of foam during washing.

•  When using detergent tabs or pods, always put them inside the drum, not in the detergent dispenser and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations . Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,

• the wash load to turn grey,

• greasy clothes,

• mould in the appliance. Excessive detergent may cause:

• sudsing,

• reduced washing effect,

• inadequate rinsing,

• a greater impact for the environment.

15.4 Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
• Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for each programmes helps to reduce energy and water consumption.
•  With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
•  To use the correct quantity of detergent, refer to the quantity suggested by the detergent producer and check the water hardness of you domestic system. Refer to ‘Water hardness’.
•  Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected programme for saving energy during drying phase!

15.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

15.6 Prepare the drying cycle

•  Open the water tap.
• Check if the drain hose is connected properly. Refer to installation chapter for more information.
• For the maximum laundry load of the drying programmes, refer to the drying programmes table.

Refer to the «Timed drying» table to find the average drying times.
Experience will help you to dry the laundry better. Take note of the duration of the cycles done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of the drying cycle:

1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing cycle.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for tumble dryers.
3.  Do not pour any detergent or softener before a drying cycle.
4.  Do not dry rough and smooth textiles together, to avoid scorching on smooth garments.
5. Remove all objects from garment pockets, especially melting objects.

When the drying programme is completed remove the laundry in a short time.

 CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
16.1 Periodic cleaning schedule
Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life of your appliance.
After each cycle, keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air circulation and dry the humidity inside the appliance: this will prevent mildew and odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long time: close the water tap and unplug the appliance.
Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

Clean detergent dis‐ Every two months penser

Clean drain pump      Twice a year filter
Clean the inlet hose Twice a year and the valve filter

1. Refer to ”Fluff in the fabrics” chapter.
   The following paragraphs explain how you should clean each part.
   16.2 Removing foreign objects
   Make sure that pockets are empty and all loose elements are tied up before running your cycle. Refer to “The laundry load” in “Hints and tips”.
   Remove any foreign objects (such as metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you may find in the door seal, the filters and the drum. Refer to “Door seal with double lip trap”, “Cleaning the drum”, “Cleaning the drain pump” and “Cleaning the inlet hose and the valve filter” paragraphs. If necessary, please contact the Authorised Service Centre.
   16.3 External cleaning
   Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
   Do not use a scouring pads or any scratching material.
   CAUTION!
   Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.
   CAUTION!
   Do not clean the metal surfaces with chlorine-based detergent.
   16.4 Descaling
   If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water descaling product for washing machines.
   Regularly examine the drum to check for limescale.
   The regular detergents already contain water softening agents, but we recommend to run a cycle with empty drum and a descaling product occasionally.
   Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
   16.5 Maintenance wash
   The repeated and prolonged use of low temperature and short programmes can cause detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial growth and biofilm formation inside the drum and the tub. This could generate bad odours and mildew.
   To eliminate these deposits and hygienize the inner part of the appliance, run a maintenance wash at least once a month:

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a cotton programme with the highest temperature with a small quantity of powder detergent or, if available, run the Machine Clean programme.

16.6 Door seal
This appliance is designed with a self cleaning draining system, allowing light fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be drained out with the water. Regularly examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other small items can be recovered at the end of the cycle.

Clean it when needed, using ammonia cream cleanser agent without scratching the seal surface.
Always obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

16.7 Cleaning the detergent dispenser
To prevent possible deposits of dried detergent or clotted fabric softener and/or formation of mould in the detergent dispenser drawer, once in a while carry out the following cleaning procedure:

1. Open the drawer. Press the catch downwards as indicated in the picture and pull it out.
   

2. Remove the top part of the additive compartment to aid cleaning. Make sure that all detergent residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Use a small brush to clean the recess.
   

3. Flush the detergent drawer out under running warm water to remove any traces of accumulated detergent. After cleaning, replace the top part in its position.

4.  Insert the detergent drawer into the guide rails and close it. Run the rinsing programme without any clothes in the drum.
   

16.8 Cleaning the drain pump
