OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1Safety

The safety standards of AEG electric appliances are in keeping with the recognised rules of technology and the law governing the safety of appliances. Nevertheless as a manufacturer we are committed to famil- iarise you with the following safety instructions:

Prior to initial start-up

•Observe the "Installation and Connection Instructions" below in these user instructions.

•If the appliance is delivered during the winter and temperatures are below freezing, allow the appliance to stand at room temperature for 24 hours before operation

Intended use

•The washing machine is intended exclusively for the washing of nor- mal household washing in the home. If the appliance is used for pur- poses other than those intended, or if it is improperly operated, the manufacturer can assume no liability for damages which may occur.

•Additions or modifications to the washing machine are strictly for- bidden due to safety reasons.

•Use only those detergents which are suitable for the washing machine. Observe instructions provided by the detergent manufac- turer.

•Laundry to be washed may not contain any flammable solvents. This must also be taken into consideration when washing pre-washed laundry.

•Do not use the washing machine for dry-cleaning.

•Dyes and bleaches may only be used in the washing machine if such use has been expressly endorsed by the manufacturer of these prod- ucts. We can assume no liability for damages which may occur.

•Use tap water only. Rain water and industrial water may only be used if they fulfil requirements in accordance with DIN1986 and DIN1988.

•Damage due to frost is not covered by the guarantee! If the washing machine is located in a room in which below freezing temperatures might occur, emergency draining must be carried out if danger of freezing occurs (see "Emergency Draining"). Furthermore, the inlet hose must be disconnected from the tap and laid on the floor.
