ENGLISH 7

20O 20O
45O 45O
Make sure that the inlet hose
is not in vertical position.
3. If necessary, loose the ring nut to set
it in the correct position.
4. Connect the water inlet hose to the
cold water tap with 3/4 thread.
CAUTION!
Make sure that there are no
leaks from the couplings.
Do not use an extension
hose if the inlet hose is too
short. Contact the service
centre for the replacement
of the inlet hose.
3.4 Water-stop device
The inlet hose has a water stop device.

If this occur, close the water tap and
contact the authorized service centre to
replace the hose.
3.5 Water drainage
The drain hose should stay at a height of

and put it around the plastic hose
guide.
2. On the edge of a sink - Fasten the
guide to the water tap or to the wall.
Make sure that the plastic
guide cannot move when
the appliance drains.
www.aeg.com8

Make sure that the drain
hose end is not immersed in

Insert the drain hose directly into a
drain pipe. Refer to the illustration.
The end of the drain hose
must always be ventilated ,
i.e. the inner diameter of the
drain pipe (min. 38 mm -
min. 1.5) must be larger than
the external diameter of the
drain hose.
4. If the end of the drain hose looks like
this (see the picture), you can push it
directly into the stand pipe.
5. Without the plastic hose guide: Put
the drain hose in the spigot and
tighten it with a clip. Refer to the
illustration.
Make sure that the drain
hose makes a loop to
prevent particles going into
the appliance from the sink.
6. Position the hose directly to a built-in
drain pipe in the room wall and
tighten it with a clip.
You can extend the drain hose to
maximum 400 cm. Contact the
authorized service centre for the other
drain hose and the extension.
4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
4.1 Special features
Your new washing machine meets all
modern requirements for an effective
treatment of laundry with low water,
energy and detergent consumption and
respectful of fabric care.
• The Oko-Mix technology has been
thought to protect the fabric fibres
thanks to different pre-mixing phases
that dissolves first the detergent and
then fabric softener in the water
before they are distributed in the
laundry. So every fibre is reached and
cared of.
• The ProSense technology detects
the laundry amount defining the
programme duration in 30 seconds.
The washing programme is tailored to
the laundry load and the type of fabric
ENGLISH 9

without consuming more time, energy
and water than necessary.
• The steam as 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 Dampf option, finishes
every cycle with gentle steam that
relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric
creasing. Ironing will be easier!
• The Flecken option pre-treats
stubborn stains optimizing the
effectiveness of the stain remover.
• 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.

laundry intensively and ensures a good washing performance
in a short time.
www.aeg.com16

Programme Programme description
Anti-Allergie
White cotton items. This programme removes micro-organ-
isms thanks to a washing phase with the temperature main-
tained above 60°C for some minutes. This helps in removing
germs, bacteria, micro-organism and particles. An additional
rinsing phase ensures a proper removal of detergent residues
and pollens/allergenic items. In this way the wash is more ef-
fective.
20 min. - 3 kg
Cotton and synthetic items with light soil level or worn only
once.
Outdoor
Synthetic sport items. This programme is designed to gently
wash modern sports clothes such as gym, cycling or jogging
clothes and similar outdoor items. The recommended laundry
load is 2.5 kg.
To reach better results, do not use fabric soft-
ener and make sure that there is no softener
residue in the detergent dispenser.
Waterproof, waterproof-breathable fabrics. This programme
can also be used as waterproof reviving cycle, specifically tail-
ored for treating clothes with a hydrophobic coating, making
them waterproof or more water resistant thanks to its impreg-
nation action. To perform the proofing cycle, proceed as fol-
lows:
• Pour a special waterproof cloth restorer in the drawer com-
partment for fabric softener .
• Reduce the laundry load to 1 kg.
To reach the best result with the waterproof
reviving action, dry the laundry in a tumble dry-
er by setting the Outdoor drying programme.
Jeans
Denim clothing and jersey items. Normal soil. This pro-
gramme performs a gentle rinsing phase, designed for denim,
that reduces fading and avoids washing powder residues on
the fibres.
1) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't
rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.
2) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry can be humid.
Line dry the items for about 10 minutes.
3) Steam programme doesn't remove particularly intense odour.
