Safety instructions

Your safety is of paramount importance, please ensure you read this instruction book before installing or using this appliance.

General safety

Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre. Never start the machine if the mains cable is damaged or the control panel or worktop are damaged allowing inner components to be accessible. Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations. Never pull the mains cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself. During high temperature wash programmes and during the drying cycle, the door glass may get hot. Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or before opening the door in an emergency.

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 (Economy) 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 programme for effectively treating stained washing. Energy saving programme (Economy) for normally soiled cotton items. Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 1200, 900 or 700 rpm. RINSE HOLD: the laundry is left immersed in the final rinse water to prevent creasing. DELAY TIMER (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.

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.

COLOUREDS

For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preserve colours.

DELICATE ITEMS

When washing delicates such as woollens, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics. Dreft Automatic is suitable for woollens and other delicates.

LAUNDRY BLEACH

For additional stain removal you may wish to use a product such as Ace Gentle Bleach which is used in addition to your chosen detergent. Ace is suitable for all washable fabrics including silks, woollens and coloureds.

STAIN REMOVER

For heavily soiled garments to be washed with STAINAction, you should use stain removers such as VANISH In-Wash, Ecover Stain Salt and GloWhite Booster.

TOUGHER ON STAINS

FOR WHITES AND COLOURS

IN-WASH

JUST ADD TO DETERGENT

And in which form?

Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is your own personal choice.

TRADITIONAL POWDERS

Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.

TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS

Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum.
COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturers instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum. * If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme.

FABRIC CONDITIONERS

These are ideal for improving softness, and also reduce static cling on easy-cares and make ironing easier. They are available in two types: For example Lenor liquid fabric softener, for use in the washing machine/washer dryer. The liquid fabric softener should be poured into the compartment marked with the symbol. Follow the manufacturers dosage instructions and never exceed the MAX level. Bounce conditioning sheets for use in a tumble dryer. We recommend the conditioning sheets are pinned (using a safety pin) to an article of laundry and placed in the tumble dryer. 22
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) 3.5 kg 2 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 foamrubber 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.

Pull the drawer out until it stops. Pour the main wash detergent into compartment. If you wish to perform a prewash, a STAINAction programme, pour detergent or stain remover into compartment.

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.

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).

The water tap is not open (E10).
The drain pump is clogged. Clean the pump. The drying time or degree of Select the required function. dryness has not been selected. The machine will not dry or An appropriate drying time the laundry is not dry or the degree of dryness enough has not been chosen. Select the appropriate drying time or degree suitable for the required degree of drying, according to the type of fabric (cottons or synthetics). Reduce the load.
There is too much laundry inside the appliance.
Unsatisfactory washing results
If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum Too little detergent has been used. An unsuitable detergent has been used. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. The programme/temperature has not been correctly selected. If grey stains remain on the laundry Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with an insufficient amount of detergent. The temperature selected for the wash programme was too low. Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type - has come into direct contact with the laundry. Wash these stains immediately and pour fabric softener carefully. Foam is still visible even after the last rinse Modern detergents often produce foam, even in the last rinse. However the laundry has been completely rinsed. White residue is left on the laundry This is due to insoluble components in modern detergents and is therefore not the result of insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the laundry. In future, it may be better to turn garments inside out before washing them. Check the choice of detergent; try using liquid detergents.

Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or before opening the door in an emergency.

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.

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.

Possible cause

Solution
The unbalance detection device that prevents excessive vibration during spinning has cut in.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin
If the laundry is not evenly distributed inside the drum at the beginning of the spin cycle, the machine detects this and tries to redistribute it more evenly by means of a few drum rotations. Only when the laundry is more evenly distributed will the spin cycle be performed, at a lower speed, if the laundry is not evenly distributed. If, after about 6 minutes, the laundry is still tangled, the machine will not spin. Therefore, if the laundry is still wet at the end of the cycle, it is advisable to redistribute it manually inside the drum and to select the spin programme again. Open the water tap. Select the drying time. Select the appropriate drying time suitable for the required degree of drying, according to the type of fabric (cottons or easy-cares). Reduce the load.
The water tap is not open (E10). The drying time has not been selected. The machine will not dry or An appropriate drying prothe laundry is not dry gramme or drying time enough have not been chosen.

There is too much laundry inside the appliance.
Unsatisfactory washing results
If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum Too little detergent has been used. An unsuitable detergent has been used. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing. The programme/temperature has not been correctly selected. If grey stains remain on the laundry Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has been washed with an insufficient amount of detergent. The temperature selected for the wash programme was too low. Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type - has come into direct contact with the laundry. Wash these stains immediately and pour fabric softener carefully. Foam is still visible even after the last rinse Modern detergents often produce foam, even in the last rinse. However the laundry has been completely rinsed. White residue is left on the laundry This is due to insoluble components in modern detergents and is therefore not the result of insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the laundry. In future, it may be better to turn garments inside out before washing them. Check the choice of detergent; try using liquid detergents.

With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring the machine is stable, and a clearance of approximately 5 mm is left between the top of the machine and the underside of the worktop. A final check for stability should be carried out with the machine on spin with a load, this will identify the need for any further fine adjustment to the feet. A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be screwed down into the base directly in front of the machines feet, this will provide additional security. If required an additional door magnet, part number 1242394-00/3 and disc, part number 1242393-00/5 are available from spare parts.
