Safety instructions

Safety instructions

The safety of AEG/ELECTROLUX appliances complies with the industry standards and with legal requirements on the safety of appliances.

However, as manufacturers, 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 personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger. Contact your local AEG/ELECTROLUX 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 maintenance operations.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; 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 electrocution 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 90, 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.

48

132974550_gb.qxd 01/02/2007 13.37 Pagina 49

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 dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’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 manufacturer 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 responsible for any damage.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water tap after use.

Disposal

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene

>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!

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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 or soak 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 recommended amount of detergent.

• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

132974550_gb.qxd 01/02/2007 13.37 Pagina 51

• 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).

Main features of your washing machine

• Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector.

• Energy saving programmes (90E), (60E), (40E) for normally soiled cotton items.

• Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900, 600 rpm for L62895 and 800, 600 rpm for L60895.

• RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to prevent creasing.

• Delay Start: programme start can be delayed up to 23 hours (e.g. to times with a more economical power rate).

• Programme progress display showing the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is running.

• Because of its gentle washing action, the special wool cycle washes your garments with extreme care.

• 3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener.

• Balance control device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

• The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

Compartment for prewash detergent. The prewash detergent is added at the beginning of the wash programme.

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 pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer in order to activate the ECO valve.

Then, run a cotton cycle at 90°, without any laundry in the

machine, to remove any manufacturing residue from the drum and tub.

Pour 1/2 a measure of detergent into the dispenser drawer and start the machine.

132974550_gb.qxd 01/02/2007 13.37 Pagina 59

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.

Types of fabric and care labels

The labels on garments help you to select the most suitable wash programme. The laundry should be sorted out according to the type of fabric and the instructions indicated on care labels.

Temperatures indicated on labels are always maximum temperatures.

Cotton

95

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol can be washed at high temperatures.

Cotton

60

Linen and cottons marked with this symbol are colourfast and can be washed at 60°C.

Cotton

50 40 30

Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore the washing temperature must not exceed these values.

Synthetics 40 60

Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a gentle wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the specific programme.

60

132974550_gb.qxd 01/02/2007 13.37 Pagina 61


Delicates 40 30

Microfibres, synthetics or curtains marked with these symbols require a very gentle treatment.

The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric.

Woollens and particularly delicate items 40 30

Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particularly sensitive to machine washing.

The WOOL programme is suitable for this type of fabric.

If the label has the symbol (do not wash), the garments must not be machine washed!

The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark products provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine. M9604.

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. Measure 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.

71

132974550_gb.qxd 01/02/2007 13.38 Pagina 72

Cleaning and maintenance

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if the machine does not empty and/or spin the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

Disconnect the appliance.

If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

Open the pump door.

Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap.

When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the pump.

72

132974550_gb.qxd 01/02/2007 13.38 Pagina 73


Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.

Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat.

Screw the pump fully in.

Close the pump door.

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 in the hose with a stiff brush.

Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged, 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 down; open the the pump door; place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. Whe the bowl is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl.

Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out; clean the pump if necessary as previously described; replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it; screw the pump again and close the door.

73

132974550_gb.qxd 01/02/2007 13.38 Pagina 74


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 emergency emptying hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let water drain out.

Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after having put the cap on again .

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 temperature is above 0°C.

Important !

Every time you drain the water through the emergency emptying hose you must pour 2 litres of water into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer and then run the drain programme “C”. This will activate the ECO valve avoiding that part of the detergent remains unused at next washing.

Something not working?

Something not working?

If during the spin cycle the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional 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 it is possible that an acoustic warning signal sounds, the FIN (END) light blinks and the following alarm codes may be displayed:

E10: problem with the water supply

E20: problem with water draining

E40: door open

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.

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. However 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 detergents.

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.
