Select the wash programme and temperature. Select eventually the required options by means of the relevant buttons. If possible, do not reduce the spin speed to avoid a too long drying time so saving energy. Select the drying time in the appropriate sector. Start the programme by depressing the ON/OFF button. Unscrew the hoses from the taps and remove the filters. Refit the filters and screw the hoses back onto the taps. 28 29 Cleaning and maintenance Emergency emptying out If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: · pull out the plug from the power socket; · close the water taps; · if necessary, wait until the water has cooled; · place a bowl on the floor; · put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water out. Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter again. Something not working? If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor. If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines. Troubleshooting If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the instructions below. If you call out an engineer when one of the following problems arises, or to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the call-out will be charged even if requested within the guarantee period. If after all checks, the problem persists, contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. Problem Possible cause Solution Depress the button. Replace the fuse. Frost precautions If the machine is installed in a place where the temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as follows: · Close the water taps and unscrew the water inlet hoses from the taps. · Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hoses in a bowl placed on the floor. · Select the "PUMP OUT" programme and run it until the machine stops. · Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. [. . . ] The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. 3 pin When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90 cm (35. 4") and no less than 60 cm (23. 6") above floor level. The upright standpipe should have a minimum length of 30 cm (12") from the bottom 38 mm. (1/ ") diameter of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diastandpipe gram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water. [. . . ]
