Operating Instructions
PowerCare Technology
The PowerCare system premixes detergent with water before it enters the drum, ensuring even distribution and activation. This technology allows for superior washing results in less than one hour, even at temperatures as low as 30°C.

PowerClean 59 min Program
This program provides verified complete stain removal in under one hour at 30°C. It ensures detergent penetrates every fiber effectively, making short cycles as efficient as longer ones for stain removal.

UniversalDose Drawer
The UniversalDose drawer is specifically designed for PODS capsules. It uses tailored water jets to soften, pierce, and fully dissolve PODS directly in the drawer, activating them 60% faster compared to placing them directly in the drum. This enhances stain removal in cold and quick 1-hour washes.

My AEG Care App Connectivity
Connect your washing machine to the My AEG Care App via WiFi. This allows you to set tailored programs remotely, receive cycle recommendations based on your garments, and get notifications when your laundry is ready. This feature provides convenient and customized laundry care.

Steam Refresh Function
The Steam Refresh program neutralizes odors and reduces wrinkles on garments, including delicates, in just 25 minutes. This process uses 96% less water than a full wash, making it a gentle and efficient way to freshen clothes that do not require a complete wash. An optional aromatic steam fragrance can be added for an enhanced fresh scent.

Automatic Load Size Adjustment
The washing machine automatically adjusts the wash time and water consumption according to the load size. This optimization helps maintain the colors and textures of your garments for longer, while also conserving resources.

Gentle Care Drum
The unique design of the Care drum allows garments to glide smoothly during the wash cycle. This gentle action helps protect your fabrics, providing a less abrasive laundry experience and contributing to the longevity of your clothes.

- Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser: Periodically remove and clean the detergent drawer to prevent residue buildup.
- Cleaning the Drum: Run a maintenance wash cycle (e.g., at 60°C or 90°C with a descaler) regularly to clean the drum and internal components.
- Cleaning the Drain Filter: Check and clean the drain filter located at the bottom front of the machine every few months to prevent blockages.
- Wiping Down Surfaces: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior surfaces and the door seal.
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
