3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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 ProSense technology 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 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!
• 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.

washing that can be used to prepare your dried laundry for ironing
or refreshing garments worn once. This programme reduces crea‐
ses, odours and relaxes the fibres. Do not use any detergent.
When the programme is completed, quickly remove the laundry
from the drum2). If necessary, remove stains by washing or using lo‐
calized stain removal. Steam programmes do not perform any hy‐
gienic cycle. Do not set a Steam programme with these types of
items:
• Items that are not suitable for tumble drying.
• Items with label "Dry clean only".
ENGLISH 17

Programme Programme description
Outdoor Do not use fabric softener and make sure that there
is no softener residue in the detergent dispenser.
Outdoor clothing, technical, sport fabrics, waterproof and breathable
jackets, shell jackets with a removable fleece or inner insulation.
The recommended laundry load is 2 kg.
This programme can also be used as water-repellent restoring cy‐
cle, specifically tailored for treating clothes with a hydrophobic coat‐
ing. To perform the water-repellent restoring cycle, proceed as fol‐
lows:
• Pour the washing detergent in the compartment .
• Pour a special water-repellent restorer for fabric in the drawer
compartment for fabric softener .
• Reduce the laundry load to 1 kg.
To further improve the water-repellent restoring ac‐
tion, dry the laundry in a tumble dryer by setting the
Outdoor drying programme (if available and if the
garment care label permits tumble drying).
Hygiene White cotton items. This high-performance wash programme com‐
bined with steam vapour, removes more than 99,99% of bacteria
and viruses3) keeping the temperature above 60°C throughout the
washing phase; with an additional action on the fibers thanks to a
vapour phase, an enhanced rinsing phase ensures a proper remov‐
al of detergent and micro-organism residues. This programme en‐
sures also a proper reduction of pollens/allergenic items.
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. This programme does not remove particularly intense odour.
3) Tested for Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aerugino‐
sa and MS2 Bacteriophage in external test performed by Swissatest Testmaterialien AG in 2021 (Test

1) According to UK Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information Regulations, this
programme at 40 °C is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or
60 °C, together in the same cycle.
For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data,
please refer to 'Consumption Values' chapter.
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that
perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
