Safety instructions
Please note the installation and connection instructions.
Please ensure you have removed all the transport packing.
Unless removed, transport packing will cause damage to the
appliance and adjacent furniture during spinning.
You should run an initial wash cycle without laundry to remove
residues of factory-applied grease from the drum and tub.
Programme: 60°C cotton programme with half a measure of
detergent.
You may find small water residues in the tub, these are due to the
thorough testing which your machine was subjected to in the
factory.
AEG electrical appliances conform to the recognised safety regula-
tions governing electrical domestic appliances. As manufacturers,
we nonetheless feel obliged to familiarise you and any other per-
sons using the machine with the following instructions:
Please make sure before using your machine for the first time that
the mains voltage and supply indicated on the rating plate agree
with the mains voltage where the machine is to be used. The fuse
required Is indicated on the rating plate.
Before cleaning, care and maintenance work, make sure that the
appliance is switched off. We advise for safety reasons that you
pull the mains plug out of the socket, switch off at the power point
or completely remove the fuse in the fuse box servicing this cir-
cuit. (See installation and connection instructions.)
Never direct a water jet onto the outer casing!
Never use the supply lead to pull the mains plug out of the socket!
Never operate the machine if:
@ the mains supply lead is damaged, or
@ the appliance shows visible damage to the contro! panel,
worktop, or plinth. ,
Repairs to electrical appliances must only be performed by
a trained electrician. improper repairs may place the user at
serious risk.
lf any other maintenance needs to be carried out, contact our
service centre or AEG authorised service agents. Only original
AEG spare parts fulfill all requirements!
If you install the machine under a worktop in your kitchen or utility
room, i.e. the worktop has been removed, and an earthed cover

When the day finally comes to withdraw the machine from serv-
- ice and to replace it with another machine, please make sure that
you inactivate the door lock and cut the electrical supply lead,
disposing of lead and plug safely. This will prevent children from
locking themselves in, thus endangering their lives. Ensure safe
disposal of the appliance.
Ifthe machine incorrectly operated or used for any purpose other
than that for which it is intended, AEG cannot assume liability for
any possible damage.

and seek.
Do not reach into the moving drum.
When you wash with high temperatures, the glass of the loading
door will become hot. Do not touch!

drain during operation, very hot water can result in scalding.
In case of faults, switch the appliance off, remove the plug from
the socket and turn the water supply to the machine off.

sents a particular danger. The packaging material meets ecolo-
gical requirements and can be easily disposed of. You are advi-
sed to do this as quickly as possible.
If the machine is not permanently connected: hook the drain
hose securely over the edge of the sink using the hose holder
provided. (See section on “Water drainage” In the installation and
connection instructions.)
