Operating Instructions Operating Instructions 1 Safety The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we regard it as our responsibility to inform you about the following safety instructions. Before Using for the First Time • Refer to the "Installation and Connection Instructions" further on in this user information.
Operating Instructions Child Safety • Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children. • Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly supervised during operation and never allow children to play with the washing machine -there is a risk that they can lock themselves inside it.
Operating Instructions • Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning the drain pump. • Small animals can chew the power cables and water hoses. Risk of electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away from the washing machine. 2 Disposal Disposing of the Packaging Material! Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakkaging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable.
Operating Instructions 2 Environmental tips • A pre-wash cycle is not necessary in the case of washing which is not excessively dirt. This saves detergent, water and time (and is gentle on the environment.) • If the indicated load capacities are taken full advantage of, the washing machine is especially efficient. • For small loads, use only one half to one third of the recommended detergent quantity. • Suitable pre-treatment enables marks and limited amounts of dirt to be removed.
