The laundry load
• 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 tough 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.
• 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. ).
• 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.
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
ENGLISH 23
13.2
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.
13.3
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 for all types of fabric, excluding delicate. Prefer powder detergents containing bleach for whites and laundry sanitization,
– liquid 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 (
• 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.
Insufficient detergent may cause:
).
24 www.aeg.com
• 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.
13.4
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.

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:
Descaling Twice a year
Maintenance wash Once a month
Clean door seal Every two months
• 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 washing programme before drying your laundry in a tumble dryer . This will save energy during drying!
13.5
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you additive for water softening. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use him.
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.

CONSUMPTION VALUES
Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant standards. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltage and the temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing programme duration.
Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve the quality of product.
At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme duration for the maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 7 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the programme duration will be less than 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot flashes in the display.
