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.

1) According to Commission Regulation EU 2019/2023, this programme at 40 °C is able to clean normal‐
ly 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.

9.2 Stoom programme
with AEG Steam Fragrance
Available in www.aeg.com/shop .
Steam programmes can be used for
reducing wrinkles and odours of
garments that just need to be refreshed,
avoiding washing. Steam programme
doesn't remove particularly intense
odour.
The fabric fibres are relaxed and
afterwards ironing becomes effortless.
When the programme is completed,
quickly remove the laundry from the
drum. Steam programme does not
perform any hygienic cycle. Do not set a
steam programme with the following type
of items:
• Items that are not suitable for tumble
drying.
• Items with label "Dry clean only".
