AEG LAVAMAT 16950A3 - Manual (Page 24)

The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not ex-
ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.
Garment labels
For drying, follow the indications given on the manufacturer’s labels:
• = May be tumble dried
• = Drying at high temperature
• = Drying at reduced temperature
• = Do not tumble dry.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (iron dry, store dry)
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying are indicated in the «Drying programmes» chap-
ter. The experience will help you to dry your laundry in a more suitable way, according to
the different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time of the already performed cycles.
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying programme, select a short drying cycle
again.
WARNING!
Do not over dry the laundry in order to avoid creasing of fabrics or garment’s
shrinking.
CARE AND CLEANING
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water soft-
ening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according
to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the forma-
tion of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming
inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door
seal.
