HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
12.1
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.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty pockets and unfold.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with printed illustrations inside out.
• Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil 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, 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.
If you set a programme or an option that ends with water in the drum, the Stand-by function doesn't deactivate the appliance to remind you to drain the water.
12.2
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.
12.3
Detergents and other treatments
• Only use detergents and other treatments specially made for washing machines:
– 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.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than the recommended quantity of detergent.
• Follow the instructions that you find on packaging of the detergents or other treatments without exceeding the indicated maximum level ( ).
• Use the recommended detergents for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.
24 www.aeg.com
12.4
Ecological hints
• Set a programme without the prewash phase to wash laundry with normal soil.
• Always start a washing programme with the maximum load of laundry allowed.
• If you pre-treat the stains or use a stain remover, set a programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, check the water hardness of your domestic system. Refer to
"Water hardness".
13.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1
External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal surfaces with chlorine-based detergent.
13.2
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.
12.5
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.
Use the correct quantity of additive for water softening. Follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
13.3
Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is possible that some detergent stays in the drum. Perform a maintenance wash regularly. To do this:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the cotton programme with the highest temperature or use if is available programme Machine Clean.
Add a small quantity of powder detergent into empty drum, in order to rinse out any left residues.
13.4
Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove all objects from the inner part.
ENGLISH 25
13.5
Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent rust particles.
For a complete cleaning:
1.
Clean the drum with special products for stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.
2.
Run a short cotton programme at high temperature or use if is available programme Machine Clean. Add a small quantity of powder detergent into empty drum, in order to rinse out any left residues.
13.6
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.

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.
During the washing programme, the Prosense technology can vary the wash duration and the consumption values. For more details see 'The
Prosense load detection' paragraph in 'Daily Use' chapter.
