Safety instructions
The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and with
legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as manufacturers,
we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety notes.
General safety
• Repairs to the dryer must be carried out only by qualified personnel.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger.
Contact our Service Centre or your AEG dealer.
• Before starting the appliance check that the rated voltage and the type of
current indicated on the rating plate correspond to those which exist wher e
the dryer is installed. The type of fuse is also indicated on the rating plate.
• Never start the appliance if the electrical supply cable is damaged or
the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components
can be reached.
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operations.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket;
always take hold of the plug itself.
• Do not lean on the open door, the appliance could turn over.
• Never spray the machine with a jet of water. Danger of electric shock!
• If the drying programme is interrupted in order to remove the laundry:
the laundry and the drum could be very hot.
Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can
be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk that they
could become trapped inside.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.
25
Safety instructions
Positioning and connection
• Follow the separate instructions for positioning and connection and,
if necessary, take into consideration the advice of your local chimney
sweep or of local authorities.
• Check that the appliance has not been damaged during transport.
Never connect a damaged appliance! If this is the case, contact your
dealer.
• The dryer must not be installed in a room where the temperature can
fall below zero or higher than + 35°C.
• The dryer must be positioned horizontally.
• The dryer must not be positioned on a thick pile carpet as this would
prevent air from circulating freely through the ventilation slots.
• If the appliance is installed near a gas, coal or electric heater, an insulating
not-inflammable panel must be inserted between the dryer and the heater
(size: 85x57.5 cm).
• The plug of the dryer must always be accessible.
• The dryer’s exhaust must not be fed into a cooker hood, or a chimney or
flue pipe designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance.
• For correct ventilation of the room, avoid the formation of low pressure.
• A permanent connection to the mains power supply can only be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
26
Safety instructions
Proper use
• For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified.
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the dryer is used
for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer
accepts no responsibility for any possible damage that might occur.
• Dry only items that have been washed with water. Never dry items that
have been in contact with inflammable solvents (petrol, methylated
spirits, dry cleaning fluid and the like). These are of a volatile nature and
could cause an explosion or a fire.
• Items containing rubber foam or materials similar to rubber foam
must not be dried in the appliance. Fire danger!
General instructions
• Starched fabrics leave traces of starch in the drum, therefore they
should not be dried in the appliance.
• If the load to be dried exceeds the maximum weight indicated, creasing
may occur. For particularly delicate fabrics, the maximum load should
not exceed 1.5 kg.
• For your information: 70 per cent of fabric wear is caused by wearing the
garments, 20 percent by washing and only 10 percent by drying them in
a tumble dryer. In your appliance, fluff accumulates in the filter. Only
0.03g fluff per Kilo will be lost by your laundry when being machine
dried.
27
Discarding
Packaging materials
Dispose of your tumble dryer’s packaging materials correctly . All materials
are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any danger,
or can be burnt in the refuse incinerator.
The plastic parts can be reused:
• The external plastic cover and the bags inside are made of polyethylene
(>PE<).
• The padding is made of CFC free polystyrene foam (>PS<=).
Cartons are made of recycled paper and should be disposed of in paper
collection containers.
Appliance
Warning! When the appliance is disposed of, pull the plug out of the
socket, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the
remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children
from becoming trapped inside while playing.
To dispose of the appliance correctly, contact the local body responsible
for collection.
