Safety Guidelines
Always read this manual carefully before using your AEG washing machine to ensure safe and proper operation. Before first use, inspect the machine for any damage and ensure it is placed on a level, stable surface to prevent vibration or tipping. The washing machine is designed for indoor use only; keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture. Never allow children to play with or operate the machine unsupervised. Avoid leaning on the open lid, as this may cause instability. Do not expose the machine to extreme temperatures or use hot water above the recommended levels, as this could cause scalding. Before performing any maintenance, ensure all parts are dry and the machine is unplugged. Never bypass safety features or attempt repairs yourself. For stacked installations, only use AEG-approved kits. If unsure about any safety aspect, consult a qualified technician. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Installation
Place the washing machine on a level, stable surface to ensure proper operation. Use AEG-approved stacking kits for washer-dryer combinations and follow all installation guidelines provided in the manual.
Location and Leveling
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Place the washing machine on a level, stable surface to prevent vibration and noise. Ensure the floor is firm and even, avoiding soft or uneven ground. Use the adjustable feet to level the machine accurately. If installing on a plinth or stacking a dryer, use AEG-approved accessories to maintain stability. Keep the machine away from direct sunlight and water sources to avoid damage. Ensure good ventilation around the appliance for efficient operation. Finally, refer to the manual for specific installation guidelines tailored to your model. Correct leveling and placement ensure smooth operation, reduce wear and tear, and prevent potential issues during use. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installation to guarantee safety and longevity of your AEG washing machine.
Water and Power Connections
Connect the washing machine to a water supply using the provided hoses, ensuring they are undamaged and compatible with the machine. Securely attach the hoses to both the machine and water taps, avoiding any leaks. The power supply must meet the specifications in the manual, using a grounded socket and avoiding extensions or multiple plugs. Ensure the machine is properly grounded for safety. Do not use damaged or worn-out hoses, as they may cause leaks or malfunction. After connecting, run a test cycle to check for leaks. Always turn off the water supply when the machine is not in use; The washing machine is factory-tested, so water may flow from the drain hose initially. Follow all safety guidelines to ensure reliable operation and prevent potential damage. Proper connections are essential for optimal performance and longevity of your AEG washing machine.
Operating the Washing Machine
Operate your AEG washing machine by selecting the appropriate cycle, adding detergent, and ensuring proper clothing loads. Adjust settings for energy efficiency and fabric care, then start the machine for optimal results.
Selecting the Right Cycle
Selecting the appropriate cycle for your laundry ensures optimal cleaning and fabric care. Your AEG washing machine offers a variety of pre-set programs tailored to different fabric types, such as cotton, synthetic, wool, and delicate items. For heavily soiled clothes, choose the intensive cycle, while lighter soils can be handled by the quick wash option. Energy-saving cycles are ideal for everyday loads, balancing efficiency and performance. Special cycles, like the wool program, gently care for sensitive fabrics, preventing shrinkage or damage. Always check the care labels on your garments to match the cycle settings. For added convenience, some models allow customization of temperature and spin speed. Refer to your user manual for detailed descriptions of each cycle and their recommended uses to ensure the best results for your laundry.
Using Detergent and Additives
For optimal performance, use the correct amount and type of detergent for your AEG washing machine. The detergent drawer is divided into compartments for pre-wash, main wash, and fabric softener. Measure detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the size of the load. Excessive detergent can leave residue on clothes, while too little may result in poor cleaning. Liquid detergent is recommended for heavily soiled loads, while powder detergent is more cost-effective for regular use. Fabric softener should be added to the designated compartment to avoid dispensing issues. For specialized cycles, such as wool or delicate fabrics, consider using low-foam or gentle detergents. Always follow the recommendations in your user manual to ensure compatibility and avoid damage to your machine or clothes. Using AEG-approved additives can enhance performance and protect your appliance.
Starting the Machine
To start your AEG washing machine, ensure the power is turned on and the machine is properly connected. Select the desired wash cycle using the control panel, choosing options based on fabric type, soil level, and temperature. The sensor touchscreen (on select models) will guide you through the process. Once settings are confirmed, press the start/pause button. The machine will display the selected program, estimated duration, and temperature. Ensure the lid is closed securely before starting. For models with a delay start feature, set the timer as needed. Always refer to the user manual for specific instructions tailored to your model. Avoid forcing the machine to start if the lid is open or if an error is displayed. Regularly check for software updates via the AEG app to optimize performance. Keep children away from the machine while it is in operation for safety.
