Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the ma-chine is stable during the spin. If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed "Something Not Working". Printed on recycled paper. People who think ecologically, act accordingly. 2

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 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 (for both washing and drying cycles). When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the recommended amount of detergent. The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately spun before being dried. With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
Main features of your washer-dryer
Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector. Stain option for effectively treating stained washing. Energy saving programme for normally soiled cotton items. SOAK programme for heavy soiled items. The machine performs a soak at 30C. By pressing the DELAY START button the soak time can be prolonged up to 10 hours max. This programme cannot be used with WOOL programme. The Soak programme ends with water in the tub. Before selecting the desired washing programme, drain the water setting the drain programme. Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900, 700 or 500 rpm. RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to prevent creasing. DELAY START (delayed start): programme start can be delayed by 30 minutes 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. The drying programmes will enable you to have dry and soft laundry in a short time. 3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric softener. Unbalance detection device: to prevent vibration during spinning.

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 60C. Cotton Garments marked with these symbols have delicate colours, therefore the washing temperature must not exceed these values. Synthetics (Easy-cares) Mixed and synthetic fabrics marked with these symbols require a gentle wash programme and they must therefore be washed using the specific programme.
Delicates Microfibres, easy-cares or curtains marked with these symbols require a very gentle treatment. The DELICATES programme is suitable for this type of fabric. 40 Woollens and particularly delicate items Fabrics such as wool, wool mix or silk marked with this symbol are particularly sensitive to machine washing. The WOOLLENS programme is suitable for this type of fabric. Fabrics marked with the symbol (wool) can be machine washed only if the label indicates does not felt or machine washable. If the label has the symbol (do not wash), the garments must not be machine washed!

Detergents and additives

Which detergent?.
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.

WHITES

We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures.

NON BIOLOGICAL

If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal.

Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle. Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle.
Sort of laundry Linen and cottons Easy-cares max. load (dry weight) 2.5 kg 1.5 kg
Warning: Loads of washed laundry exceeding these values must be divided before being dried, otherwise poor results will be obtained.
Garments not suitable for drying
Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains, woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried. Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard. Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
Drying symbols on garment labels
Always look at the garment label to check whether garments can be machine dried. The following symbols refer to drying: Machine drying is usually possible Normal drying (normal temperature) Gentle drying (reduced temperature) Do not machine dry
Duration of the drying cycle
The drying time can vary according to the final spin speed; the required degree of drying (extra dry, only for cottons, store dry or iron dry); the type of laundry; the size of load. The usual drying times are indicated in the programme chart. As you become more familiar with the appliance, you will discover the drying times that best suit your needs according to the various type of fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of these times.
Modification of the drying time
If you wish to modify the drying time when a drying programme is running, first depress START/PAUSE button to set the machine to PAUSE. After modifying the time, depress START/PAUSE again to continue the programme.

Fibre residue

After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is advisable to perform the rinse cycle to be sure that any residue that may remain in the tub is completely removed and does not stick to garments dried afterwards. After each drying cycle the filter should be checked and cleaned.

Additional drying

Should the laundry still be too wet at the end of the programme, set another short drying cycle. Warning! To prevent the formation of creases or shrinking of fabrics, avoid excessive drying.

How to wash

Load the laundry
Open the door. Place the laundry in the drum, one item at a time. Distribute laundry as evenly as possible. Close the door.

By selecting the wash programme, the pilot lights corresponding to the various phases making up the programme come on. After the machine has started, only the running phase pilot light stays on.
The time to the end of the programme decreases minute by minute and appears on the display.
At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically. A blinking zero appears on the display. The END light comes on in the programme progress display, the START/PAUSE light is off. Turn the selector dial to RESET. If the RINSE HOLD option has been selected the END and the RINSE HOLD lights remain lit, the door is blocked, to indicate that the water must be emptied out before opening the door either To empty out water: select the DRAIN programme to empty out the water without spinning. select the SPIN programme for spinning. select the SPIN SPEED and depress the START/PAUSE button; Warning! The programme selector dial must be turned first to RESET and then to the DRAIN or SPIN programmes. At the end of the programme the selector dial must be turned to position RESET and the machine must be switched off by pressing the ON/OFF button. Remove the laundry from the drum. Check that the drum is empty so as to avoid any forgotten items being damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. shrinking) or their colour running into a load of whites. Close the water tap. Leave the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant smells.

How to dry

Drying only
Warning! Do not exceed the maximum laundry loads: - 2.5 kg for linen and cottons - 1.5 kg for easy-cares.

Cleaning and maintenance

After each wash
At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a little to let it dry. Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate. If the machine is not used for a prolonged period: Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Periodical cleaning

Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis. To run a maintenance wash: The drum should be empty of laundry. Select the hottest cotton wash programme. Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder (such as Ariel Futur).

Exterior

Clean the outside of the cabinet with soap and water only. Rinse with clean water and dry. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer. Clean the drawer, from time to time, by rinsing it under a running tap.
To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear lefthand corner. To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed. Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.

Door seal

Regularly check to see, if there are deposits or foreign objects in the rubber seal behind the door and remove them.
The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Place a container under the filter and unscrew it; some water will come out of the filter. Pull out the filter. Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.

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. To do this, depress the small yellow button on the hose. Clean the filter with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Emergency emptying out

If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), 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; place a bowl on the floor; put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out. Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter again.

Frost precautions

If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0C, proceed as follows: Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap. Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the floor. Select the DRAIN programme and run it until the machine stops. Turn the programme selector dial to RESET. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. Remove the plug from the power socket. Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the drain hose back in its place. By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is removed, avoiding the formation of ice and, consequently, damage to the appliance. When you use the machine again, make sure that the ambient temperature is above 0C. 37

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 the following alarm codes may be displayed: - E10: problem with the water supply - E20: problem with water draining - E40: door open At the same time the light END flashes. 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.

Levelling

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
Water inlet (cold water connection only)
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4 thread. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulations requirements. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks. Do not connect to a hot water supply. The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window A. Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Force A Centre to replace the hose.

Water drainage

TThis appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods. 1. Into a drainage standpipe. Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the U piece supplied. Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

U piece supplied

38 mm (11.2) standpipe diameter 30 cm (12")
When discharging into a stand3 pin pipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90 cm (35.4'') and no less than 60 cm (23.6'') above floor level. The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm. 2. Onto a sink outlet spigot. If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place. Push the drain hose Loop onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine. The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm. If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use the plastic U -Piece supplied.

Min. 60 cm (23.6) Max. 90 cm (35.4)
Important Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should be connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before being discharged safely into a river. It is essential that these appliances are not connected to the surface water drainage system as this water is discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause pollution.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed. If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not GREEN &YELLOW 13AMP FUSE suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted. Remove the fuse from the cut off plug. The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it should BROWN be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another BLUE CORD CLAMP part of your home. Important The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live

13 AMP

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13 Amp BS1362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used. The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug. A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Centre.

Permanent connection

In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electrical regulations. The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point. This operation should only be performed by a qualified electrician.

Building-in

This appliance has been designed to be built into the kitchen furniture. The recess should have the dimensions shown in picture A.
When installing the appliance into the kitchen furniture ensure, if possible, the hoses are placed in either of the two recesses on the back of the appliance. This will help to prevent the hoses from becoming kinked or trapped. Picture AB.
Preparation and assembly of the door
The machine is originally prearranged for the assembly of a door opening from right to left. In this case it is sufficient to screw in the hinges (1) and the counter-magnet (6) provided with the appliance, at the right level (Fig. B).
a) Door The dimensions of the door should B be: - width 595-598 mm - thickness 16-22 mm The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the adjacent furniture's base.

b) Hinges 35 12.5-14 depth 16 -22 To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth 12.5-14 mm) on the inner side of the door. The distance between the holes hobs fixing centres must be 416 mm. The distance (B) from upper edge of the door to the centre of the hole ,5 22+1 depends on the adjacent furniture's 98 595-5 C dimensions. The required dimensions are given in the picture C. The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B) supplied with the appliance. c) Mounting the door Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of the M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). The hinges can be adjusted to compensate for possible uneven thickness of the door. To align the door perfectly it is necessary to loosen the screw (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and tighten the screw again. d) Counter-magnet (6) The appliance is pre-arranged for a magnetic closure of the door. To enable a correct operation of this device, it is necessary to screw the counter-magnet (6) (steel disk + rubber ring) into the inner side of the door. Its position must correspond to the magnet (4) on the appliance (see picture D).
