Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
The safety of AEG electrical appliances complies with the established
technical principles and statutory equipment safety regulations. Nevertheless, as manufacturer we have to draw your attention to the following safety instructions.
General safety
• Repairs of the dryer may be carried out only by trained personnel.
Incompetently carried out repairs can entail considerable hazards for
the user. Please get in touch with our customer service or with an
authorised AEG dealer when repair is necessary.
• Before commencing operation please make sure that the nominal
voltage and type of supply specified on the type plate of the appliance correspond to the actual nominal voltage and supply type at the
place of utilisation. The fuse rating is also specified on the type plate.
• Never operate the dryer when the mains cable is damaged or when
the operator control mask, work plate or base shrouding are damaged
such that there is direct access to the interior of the appliance.
• Switch-off the dryer before carrying out any cleaning, care and
maintenance tasks! You are quite safe if you disconnect the mains
plug from the power outlet or – if the electrical connection is permanent – if you switch-off the circuit breaker in the fusebox or screw
the fuse cartridge right out of its holder.
• Never pull on the cable to disconnect the mains plug from the power
outlet. Always grasp and pull-out the plug.
• Don’t lean on the opened door; this could make the appliance fall
over.
• Don’t use a water jet to spray-down the appliance. Danger of electric
shock!
• The covering hood for the filament lamp bulb for drum illumination
must be screwed-on.
• If you interrupt the drying process to take out laundry, bear in mind
that the laundry and the drum could be hot.
• Adaptors and extension cables must not be used. There is risk of overheating!
5
Important Safety Information
Safety of children
• Children are often not aware of the dangers involved when handling
electrical equipment. Therefore provide the necessary supervision of
children when operating the appliance and do not let children play
with the dryer – there is a danger that children could become
trapped inside the appliance.
• Packaging parts (e.g. films, styropore) can be dangerous for children.
Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging parts out of reach of children.
• Make sure that children or small animals do not climb into the drum
of the dryer. For this purpose keep the door of the dryer closed when
the appliance is not in use.
Utilisation in accordance with the intended purpose
• Conversions or modifications of the dryer are forbidden for safety
reasons.
• Use the dryer only to dry ordinary household laundry! The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting from incorrect
operation or utilisation for an unintended purpose.
• Dry only laundry which has been washed in water. In particular, textiles which have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents and
solvents (petrol-ether, alcohol, stain remover and similar materials)
must not be dried in the dryer. Danger of fire! Explosion hazard!
• Laundry items containing sponge rubber or rubber-like materials
must not be dried in the dryer. Danger of fire!
• Washing that is in poor condition (heavily worn) and items with loose
fillings (cushions) that could break open must not be dried. There is a
risk of fire!
• Washing with rigid components (foot mats) will cover the air slots;
the slots will also be covered if the drum is overfilled. Observe the
maximum load of 5 kg. There is a risk of overheating which could
cause a fire!
• Only dry washing that does not contain any explosive objects (fire
lighters, spray cans). There is a risk of fire or an explosion!

Erection and connection
Important Safety Information
• Please follow the separate
If necessary get some advice from your local chimney sweep or
building authorities.
• If the tumble drier has to be carried, first remove the base strip!
• Check the tumble drier fortransport damages. Under no
circumstances should you connect a damaged appliance! Please
contact your supplier in the event of damages.
• Do not install the tumble drier in rooms which are in danger of
freezing!
• Install the tumble drier level!
• When installed next to a gas, coal or electric heater: a heat
insulating, non-flammable board must be inserted (dimensions:
85x57.5 cm).
• The plug of the appliance must be freely accessible after installation.
• The outgoing air from the tumble drier may not be led into a smoke
or chimney flute.
• Do not lead the outgoing air into a shaft which serves to ventilate
rooms in which heating is installed.
• Do not install the tumble drier in a room in which heaters with coal
and oil connected to a chimney are located in which the under
pressure is 0.04mbar or more.
• Provide sufficient ventilation to avoid underpressure from forming.
• In accordance with the technical connection conditions of the power
utilities, a permanent connection to the power supply may only be
made by an authorised electrician.
• The dryer sucks in air. You should therefore keep the area around the
appliance clean and also not store any flammable items that may be
sucked into the appliance (e.g. cat litter, shavings) in front of it. There
is risk of fire!

General Information
General Information
• Starched washing leaves traces of starch on the drum and therefore
should not be placed in the tumble drier.
• If you exceed the maximum load stipulated in the program table your
washing is more likely to get creased! For very delicate fabrics you
should only fill in 1.5kg washing at the most.
• When using so-called "fabric conditioner sheets", a deposit on the
fluff filter may result, which can cause a blockage. We therefore recommend not using fabric conditioner sheets.
• For your information: 70 per cent of fabric wear is caused by being
worn, 20 per cent by washing and only 10 per cent by being dried in
a tumble drier. As the fabric is worn down, fluff gathers in the fluff
filter. When using a tumble drier, only approx. 0.03g fluff per kilogramme washing is produced.

Disposal
Packaging
Dispose of the packaging material!
Dispose of the packaging material of your tumble drier correctly. All
packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be disposed
of without any danger or burnt in the refuse incinerator.
The plastic parts can be reused:
• The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of
polyethylene (marking >PE<).
• The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene
(marking >PS<).
The boxes are made from recycled paper and should be returned to the
old paper collection.
Disposal of the old appliance!
When you eventually stop using your tumble drier please bring it to the
nearest recycling centre or to your dealer who will take it back for a
small fee.
Warning!
off the flex, dispose of the plug and remaining flex and destroy the
door lock. This hinders children from locking themselves in and endangering their lives.
The materials can be recycled in accordance with their markings. Standard tools (crosshead screwdriver, hammer) are sufficient to dismantle
the old appliance.
When disposing of the tumble drier, pull out the plug, cut

Environmental protection tips
Environmental protection tips
• Your laundry will become light and soft in the tumble dryer even without a fabric softening agent.
• Loosen your laundry before loading it into the dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times and creasing. Ensure your laundry is well
spun.
In the following table we give an overview of specific electric consumption data depending on the spinning speed. This information is
valid for 5kg laundry dried with the program COTTONS CUPBOARD

If the amount of laundry is not enough for a particular degree of drying (e.g. HAND IRON), you should dry it in stages for best economy: Fill
the drier and select the program HAND IRON; after the end of this program take out your laundry for ironing. Finally dry the remaining laundry with the program CUPBOARD DRY.
• Only use the SPECIAL CARE button for loads up to 2.5kg.
• Clean the fluff filter after every drying program!
