3.1 Special features
Your new washing machine meets all
modern requirements for an effective
treatment of laundry with low water,
energy and detergent consumption and
proper care of fabric.
•
•
The steam has a quick and easy way
to refresh the clothes. The gentle
steam programmes remove odours
and reduce creases in dry fabrics so
they need little ironing.
The Plus Steam option, finishes
every cycle with gentle steam that
relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric
creasing. Ironing will be easier!
Thanks to the Soft Plus option, the
fabric softener is uniformly spread out
in the laundry and deeply penetrates
•
•
the fabric fibres favouring a perfect
softness.
The ProSense System detects the
laundry load size defining the
programme duration in 30 seconds.
The washing programme is tailored to
the laundry load and the type of fabric
without consuming more time, energy
and water than necessary.
The AEG Steam Fragrance, thanks
to the steam programmes offers the
perfect solution for refreshing even
the most delicate garments without
washing. Use the delicate fragrance
exclusively developed by AEG to add
a pleasant feeling of "just-washed"
garment to the removing odours and
wrinkles action.

8.2 Steam programmes
The Steam programmes can be used for
reducing wrinkles and odours on
garments (such as cottons, synthetics,
mixed fabrics, including delicates) that
just need to be refreshed, in a short time,
avoiding washing.
The fabric fibres are relaxed and
afterwards ironing becomes effortless.
When the cycle is completed, quickly
remove the laundry from the drum.
The cycle duration can be reduced till 15
minutes by means of the Time Save
option.
DO NOT set this mode with the following
type of items:
• Items that are not suitable for tumble
drying.
• Items with label "Dry clean only".
Do not use any detergent!
The Steam programmes do
not remove particularly
intense odour and do not
perform any hygienic cycle.
After the steam treatment
the laundry can be humid.
Hang items out for a few
minutes.
The fragrance (AEG Steam
Fragrance)
The AEG Steam Fragrance allows you to
refresh even your delicate clothes,
removing wrinkles and adding freshness
with a gentle fragrance developed
exclusively by AEG. By refreshing your
garments with steam, rather than running
full wash cycles, you will keep your
clothes looking and feeling new longer.
You can even safely use the fragrance
with Cashmere and Steam programmes if they are available - for delicate fabrics
like cashmere and wool. When treating
smaller load reduce the fragrance
dosage and the cycle duration: in only
fifteen minutes, your clothes will regain
that "just washed" feeling.
Read carefully the instructions supplied
with the fragrance.
ENGLISH
DO NOT:
• Tumble dry the garments treated with
fragrance. Its benefit would
evaporate.
• Use the fragrance with different
purposes than those here described.
• Use the fragrance on new garments.

12. 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.
Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
Pre-treat stubborn 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.
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.
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. ).
Empty pockets and unfold the items.
12.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
38
www.aeg.com
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.
Do not spray stain remover on garments
near the appliance as it is corrosive to
the plastic parts.
– 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 and follow
the manufacturer's
recommendations .
Insufficient detergent may cause:
• 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.
12.3 Detergent type and
quantity
12.4 Ecological hints
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 (also tablets
and single-dose detergents) for all
types of fabric, excluding delicate.
Prefer powder detergents
containing bleach for whites and
laundry sanitization,
– liquid detergents (also single-dose
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:
).
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.
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!
12.5 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
ENGLISH
hardness is soft it is not necessary to use
a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
39
Use the correct quantity of water
softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
13. CARE AND CLEANING
