ENGLISH 29
14. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
14.1 The laundry load
• Divide the laundry into: white,
coloured, synthetics, delicates and
wool.
• Follow the washing instructions on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured
items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour
with the first wash. We recommend
that you wash them separately for the
first couple of times.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and
items with printed illustrations inside
out.
• Pre-treat tough stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special
detergent.
• Be careful with curtains. Remove the
hooks and put the curtains in a
washing bag or pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or
with cuts. Use a washing bag to wash
small and/or delicate items (e.g.
underwired bras, belts, tights,
shoelaces, ribbons, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance
problems with the spin phase leading
to excessive vibration. If this occurs:
a. interrupt the programme and
open the door (refer to "Daily
Use" chapter);
b. manually redistribute the load so
that the items are spaced evenly
around the tub;
c. press the Start/Pause button. The
spin phase continues.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,
hooks and poppers. Tie up belts,
cords, shoelaces, ribbons and any
other loose elements.
• Empty pockets and unfold the items.
14.2 Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
14.3 Detergents type and
quantity of detergent
Low sudsing detergent is required for
this washing machine to prevent
oversudsing problems, unsatisfied
washing result and harm to the
appliance. Low sudsing detergents
designed for front load washing
machines are labelled "Front loading",
"high efficiency", "HE" or "Matic".
Do not use wrong types of detergent,
such as Top Loading, Handwash
detergent or Soap-Based products in
your front-load washing machine. This
can result in excessive suds, longer
cycle time, low spin speeds, poor
rinsing and overloading of the motor
and, in extreme cases, suds flowing
out of the appliance with symptoms
similar to water leak.
Quantity of detergent to be
used
The choice of detergent and use of
correct quantities not only affects your
wash performance, but also helps to
avoid waste and protect the
environment.
www.aeg.com
30
Although biodegradable, detergents
contain substances which in large
quantities can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
The choice and quantity of detergent will
depend on:
• type of fabric (delicates, woollens,
cottons, etc);
• the colour of clothes;
• size of the load;
• degree of soil;
• wash temperature; and
• hardness of the water used.
Water hardness is classified by so-called
"degrees" of hardness.
Information on hardness of the water in
your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
You may have to try using the detergent
quantity as per manufactures'
instructions then compare the wash
result to the list below and adjust the
amount of detergent for your future
washes accordingly.
Not enough washing powder causes:
• the wash load to turn grey,
• greasy clothes.
Too much washing powder causes:
• sudsing,
• reduced washing effect,
• inadequate rinsing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam during
washing.
14.4 Ecological hints
• Set a programme without the
prewash phase to wash laundry with
normal soil.
• Always start a washing programme
with the maximum load of laundry
allowed.
• If you pre-treat the stains or use a
stain remover, set a programme with
a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of
detergent, check the water hardness
of your domestic system. Refer to
"Water hardness".
14.5
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water softener for washing
machines. In areas where the water
hardness is soft it is not necessary to use
a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water
softener. Follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
14.6 Prepare the drying cycle
• Open the water tap.
• Check if the drain hose is connected
properly. Refer to installation chapter
for more information.
• For the maximum laundry load of the
drying programmes, refer to the
drying programmes table.
14.7 Items not suitable for
drying
Do not set a drying programme for
this laundry:
• Synthetic curtains.

14.9 Drying cycle duration
The drying time can change depending
on:
• speed of the last spin
• dryness level
• type of laundry
• weight of the load
14.10 Additional drying
If, at the end of the drying programme,
the laundry is still damp, set a short
drying cycle again.
WARNING!
To avoid creasing and
shrinkage do not overdry
the laundry.
14.11 General Tips
Refer to the «Drying programmes» table
to find the average drying times.
Experience will help you to dry the
laundry better. Take note of the duration
of the cycles done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of
the drying cycle:
1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing
cycle.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for
tumble dryers.
When the drying programme is
completed remove the laundry promptly.
