Whoever thinks ecologically also acts ecologically.
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.
• If the appliance will be out of operation for an extended period of
time, unplug it from the mains.
• 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!
• When closing the door, please check that the washing is not caught
in it.
• If you interrupt the drying process to take out laundry, bear in mind
that the laundry and the drum could be hot.
• Multiway plugs, joints and extension cables must not be used. There is
risk of fire because of overheating!

Important Safety Information
Safety of children and infirm persons
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.
• 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) or have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking
oil must not be dried in the dryer. Danger of fire! Explosion hazard!
Thouse textiles should first be washed in hot water with extra
detergent.
• Laundry items containing sponge rubber or rubber-like materials
must not be dried in the dryer. Danger of fire!
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be
placed in a tumble dryer. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if
metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble
dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity.
• Washing that is in poor condition (heavily worn) and items with loose
fillings (cushions) that could break open must not be dried or
refreshed. There is a risk of fire!

Important Safety Information
• 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!
• Clean the fluff filter after each drying procedure.
• Clean the heat exchanger regularly.
• In the case of washer / dryer tower combinations, do not place any
objects on the dryer during use as they could drop down.
Installation and connection
• First take-off the base shroud before carrying the dryer!
• Check the dryer for Transportation damage. Never connect-up a
damaged appliance! Contact your supplier if the appliance is damaged.
• Do not set-up the dryer in frost-endangered rooms!
• Set-up the dryer horizontal!
• Do not place the dryer on high-pile carpet floors!
This would hinder air circulation at the ventilation slots!
• If the dryer is placed adjacent to a gas, coal or electric cooking stove,
interpose a thermally insulating non-combustible plate between the
dryer and the stove (dimensions: 85x57,5cm).
• The electric power plug connector of the appliance must remain
accessible even after installation.
• Check that the tumble dryer is not standing on the mains cable.
• The technical conditions of the electric power supply company for
making fixed connections of electrical appliances to the mains
require that such connections may only be made by an authorised
electrician.

General Information
3 General Information
• Starched washing leaves traces of starch on the drum and therefore
should not be placed in the tumble dryer.
• 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.
• 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 dryer. As the fabric is worn down, fluff gathers in the fluff
filter. When using a tumble dryer, only approx. 0.03g fluff per kilogramme washing is produced.

2 Disposal
Packaging
Dispose of the packaging material!
Dispose of the packaging material of your tumble dryer correctly. All
the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can
be recycled.
• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:
– >PE<for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material
– >PS<for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free)
– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips
• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and
should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.
Disposal of the old appliance!
When you eventually stop using your tumble dryer please bring it to
the nearest recycling centre or to your dealer who will take it back for a
small fee.
Warning! When disposing of the tumble dryer, pull out the plug, cut
1
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.

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 dryer 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 STORAGE DRY.
• Only use the SPECIAL CARE button for loads up to 2.5kg.
• Clean the fluff filter after every drying program!
• Empty the water reservoir after every drying process!
Caution! The condensed water is not suitable for drinking or for use
1
with foodstuffs.
You can use the collected condensed water as distilled water in the
household, but first pour it through a paper filter bag.
• Clean the heat exchanger regularly!
The dryer will operate more economical ly if you clean the heat
exchanger regularly.
