www.aeg.com
The appliance shall be installed as a freestanding
product or below the kitchen worktop if space

WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied
through an external switching device, such as a timer,
or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on
and off by a utility.
Ensure good air ventilation in the room where the
appliance is installed to avoid the backflow of
unwanted gases into the room from appliances
burning gas or other fuels, including open fires.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is
used for exhausting fumes from any appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
The operating water pressure at the water entry point

used as specified by the product manufacturer’s instructions.
Remove all objects from items that could be a source
of fire ignition such as lighters or matches.
Never stop the washer dryer before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and separated so that residual heat can dissipate.
The final part of the washer dryer cycle takes place
without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that items reach a temperature that will not cause damage to them.
Do not use high pressure water sprays and/or steam
to clean the appliance.
Clean the appliance with a moist cloth. Use only
