Before Using for the First Time  
0 1. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer a short distance out of the control  
panel.  
2. Pour about 1 litre of water through the detergent dispenser drawer  
into the washing machine. When this has been done, the ÖKO lock can  
function correctly.  
3. Run a washing cycle without washing (MAIN WASH 95, with half the  
amount of washing powder).  
This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left  
during manufacture.

Operating Instructions  
Preparing a Wash Load  
Sorting and preparing a wash load  
Sort washing according to care symbol and type (see "Washing types  
and care symbols").  
Empty all pockets.  
Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).  
In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing,  
close zippers, button up duvets and pillow cases, and tie up loose  
straps such as from aprons.  
Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,  
anoraks etc.).  
Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and textiles with appliqués  
should be turned inside out.  
Place small and delicate articles (socks, tights, bras, etc.) into a  
washing net or a pillow case.  
Handle curtains with care. Remove metal strips or plastic hooks.  
Do not wash coloured and white washing together. White washing  
will otherwise turn grey.  
New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these  
items separately the first time.  
Mix small and large articles of washing! This improves washing effi-  
ciency, and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin  
cycle.  
Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.  
Do not place folded washing into the drum.  
Observe tips such as "wash separately" and "wash separately several  
times"!

Washing Types and Care Symbols  
Care symbols assist in the selection of the correct washing program.  
Washing should be sorted according to type and care symbol. The tem-  
peratures indicated in the care symbols are maximum temperatures.  
Cottons ç  
Textiles made from cotton and linen with this care symbol will with-  
stand maximum wash actions and high temperatures.  
The COTTONS/LINEN program is appropriate for this type of washing.  
Linen è  
ë
Textiles made from cotton and linen with these care symbols will with-  
stand maxiumum wash actions and high temperatures.  
The COTTONS/LINEN program is appropriate for this type of washing.  
Easy-care washing ê  
í
î
Fabrics such as treated cottons, cotton mixtures and synthetics with  
this care symbol need a softer washing action.  
The EASY-CARES program is suitable for this type of washing.  
Delicates ì  
Fabrics such as those with layered fibres, micro-fibres, as well as synthet-  
ics and net curtains with this care symbol require particularly careful  
handling. The DELICATES program is suitable for this type of washing.  
Wool and particularly delicate washing 9  
ì
Textiles such as wool, wool mixtures and silk with these care symbols  
require a very gentle wash cycle. The WOOL program is appropriate for  
this type of washing.  
Important! Fabrics with the the ï (Hand Washing) orñ (Do Not  
Wash!) care symbols must not be washed in the washing machine!

Operating Instructions  
Detergents and Conditioners  
Only use detergents and fabric softeners suitable for automatic  
washing machines. As a general rule follow the instructions of the  
detergent manufacturers.  
Which Detergent?  
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is  
important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only  
detergents recommended for use in automatic machines.  
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and  
to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent  
for different washes whether for whites, colours or delicates.  
Whites  
We recommend the Ariel product range  
which is biological and designed to provide  
excellent cleaning and stain removal even  
at lower temperatures.  
Non Biological  
If you prefer to use a non biological deter-  
gent, which does not contain enzymes we  
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good  
cleaning and stain removal.  
Coloureds  
For coloured items, you should use a deter-  
gent which is designed to clean while main-  
taining the original colour. Ariel Color does  
not contain bleach and therefore helps to  
preserve colours.  
Delicate Items  
When washing delicates, such as wool, you  
should use a product which is specially designed  
to care for fine fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suita-  
ble for woollens and other delicates.  
Laundry Bleach  
For additional stain removal you may wish  
to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach,  
which is used in addition to your chosen  
detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable  
fabrics including coloureds.

Operating Instructions  
And in which form?  
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also avail-  
able in different forms. Whether you choose a powder or liquid in  
traditional or compact form, is down to personal choice.  
Traditional Powders  
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle  
powder onto clothes in the machine drum.  
Liquids  
Measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which  
should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine  
drum.  
Compact  
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are avail-  
able in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage.  
Follow the manufacturers instructions to ensure the most economical  
usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alterna-  
tively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device*  
which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the  
machine drum.  
*If you use a dosing device/ball in a washer dryer, please ensure the  
device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.  
Fabric Conditioners  
These are ideal for improving softness, and also reduce static cling on  
synthetics and make ironing easier. They are available in two types:  
For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for

Operating Instructions  
How much Detergent and Fabric Softener?  
The amount to be used depends on  
the load:  
If the detergent manufacturer does not make any specifications for  
small loads, use a third less for half loads, and for very small loads only  
use half of the amount of washing powder recommended for a full  
load.  
3
the soiling:  
For only lightly soiled washing use less washing powder. Follow the  
instructions of the detergent manufacturer.  
the water hardness:  
The harder the water, the higher the dosage! You will find the quanti-  
ties to use according to water hardness on the detergent packet.  
Using a Water Softening Agent  
In hard water areas, the use of a water softening agent can reduce the  
amount of detergent necessary. See manufacturers recommendations.

Installation and Connection Instructions  
Installation-Site Preparation  
The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.  
Do not install on deep pile carpet.  
If the appliance is installed next to heat source (e. g. cooking appli-  
ance), a heat insulating pad (85 x 57 cm) must be placed between the  
washing machine and the heat source.  
Do not install the appliance in locations where the temperature may  
fall below freezing.  
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessi-  
ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.  
Installation on a Suspended Floor  
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To  
help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood  
panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2  
floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the  
corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.  
Levelling the Appliance  
Using the four adjustable threaded feet, compensation can be made for  
unevenness in the floor and the height of the appliance adjusted. The  
height can be adjusted over the range +10... -5 mm.  
To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied for removing the  
transport braces.  
0 1. Slide the special key firmly onto the hexagon head of the threaded foot  
all the way to the stop.  
2. Adjust the threaded feet so that the appliance is level and stable. The  
appliance must not rock across the corners when operating under load.  
3. If necessary, check positioning with a spirit level.  
Important! Never use strips or shims of wood or cardboard etc. to  
compensate for any uneveness in the floor. Always use the adjustable  
feet.

Water Drainage  
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the  
drain hose is formed using the plastic U-Piecesupplied. The standpipe  
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia-  
gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and  
standpipe.  
When discharging into a stand-  
pipe ensure that the top of the  
curve in the hose end is no more  
than 90 cm (35.4) and no less  
than 60 cm (23.6) above floor  
level.  
The upright standpipe should  
have a minimum, length of  
30 cm (12) from the bottom of  
the elbow to the top of the pipe  
(see diagram). Make sure that it  
is designed in such a way that  
the end of the drain hose can-  
not be covered with water.  
Longer drain hoses are availa-  
ble in lengths of 2.7 and 4  
metres from your AEG Service  
Force Centre.
