Steam does not remove
animal odours.
Steam Anticrease
This cycle helps to dewrinkle
the laundry.
Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These programmes can reduce creases and odours and make your laundry more
soft.
Do not use any detergent. If necessary, remove stains by washing or using localized stain removal.
Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.
Do not set the Steam programme for this type of items:
• items where it is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumbledrying
• all items with plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.
1) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry
feels humid. It is better to expose the items to the fresh air for about 10 minutes to let
the humidity dry. When the programme is completed, quickly remove the laundry from
the drum. After a steam cycle, items may to be ironed anyway, but with less effort!

9. CONSUMPTION VALUES
At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 8 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme duration
don’t reach 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks
in the display.
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.

12.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are
on the laundry care labels.
• Do not wash together white and coloured items.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the
items.
• Turn inside out multilayered fabrics,
wool and items with painted illustrations.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash with a special detergent heavy
soil stains.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove
the hooks or put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash in the appliance :
– Laundry without hems or with cuts
– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small
items.
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase again.
12.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove 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.
12.3 Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of
soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set
the prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device,
22 www.aeg.com
add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.
12.4 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 know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the products.
Equivalent scales measure the water
hardness:
• German degrees (°dH).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke degrees.

15.4 Water drainage
There are different procedures to connect the drain hose:
With the plastic hose guide.
34 www.aeg.com
• On the edge of a sink.
• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot move when the appliance drains.
Attach the guide to the water tap or
the wall.
• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.
Refer to the illustration. Directly into a
drain pipe at a height of not less than
60 cm and not more than 100 cm. The
end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of
the drainpipe must be larger than the
external diameter of the drain hose.
Without the plastic hose guide.
• To a sink spigot.
Refer to the illustration. Put the drain
hose in the spigot and tighten it with a
clip. Make sure that the drain hose
makes a loop to prevent that remaining particles go in the appliance from
the sink.
• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the
room wall and tighten it with a clip.
You can extend the drain hose to
maximum 400 cm. Contact the
service centre for the other drain
hose and the extension.
