3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Special features

Your new washing machine meets all

modern requirements for an effective

treatment of laundry with low water,

energy and detergent consumption and

proper care of fabric.
• The ProSense technology detects

the laundry load size defining the

programme duration in 30 seconds.

The washing programme is tailored to

the laundry load and the type of fabric

without consuming more time, energy

and water than necessary.

• The steam has a quick and easy way

to refresh the clothes. The gentle

steam programmes remove odours

and reduce creases in dry fabrics so

they need little ironing.

The Plus Steam option, finishes

every cycle with gentle steam that

relaxes the fibres and reduces fabric

creasing. Ironing will be easier!

• The AEG Steam Fragrance, thanks

to the steam programmes offers the

perfect solution for refreshing even

the most delicate garments without

washing. Use the delicate fragrance

exclusively developed by AEG to add

a pleasant feeling of "just-washed"

garment to the removing odours and

wrinkles action.

3.2 Fixing plate kit

If you install the appliance on a plinth

that is not an accessory supplied by

AEG, secure the appliance in the fixing

plates.
Read carefully the instructions supplied

with the accessory.
