Safety instructions

The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and

with legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as man-

ufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety notes.

General notes

• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified person-

nel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious

danger. Contact our Service Centre or your AEG dealer.

• Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or

the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components

can be reached.

• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or mainte-

nance operations.

• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the sock-

et; always take hold of the plug itself.

• Never spray the washing machine with a jet of water. Danger of elec-

trocution!

• During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get

hot. Do not touch it!

• Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or

before opening the door in an emergency.

• Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water hoses causing elec-

trocution hazard and damage due to water leaks.

Positioning, connection, starting up

• Follow the instructions for positioning and connection.

• Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS 60, with half the

amount of detergent) in order to remove any manufacturing residue

from the tub and the drum.

• Should the machine be purchased in winter, when temperatures can

be below 0°, leave the appliance for 24 hours at ambient temperature

before starting it.
