Safety instructions
The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and
with legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as
manufacturers, 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
personnel. 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
maintenance operations.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the
socket; always take hold of the plug itself.
• Never spray the washing machine with a jet of water. Danger of
electrocution!
• 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
electrocution 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.
