People who think ecologically, act accordingly....
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 starting the appliance check that the rated voltage and the type of
current indicated on the rating plate correspond to those which exist where
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.
• 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 the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket;
always take hold of the plug itself.
• Don’t lean on the opened door; this could make the appliance fall over.
• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or
cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in the
tumble dryer.
• If you have washed your laundry with stain remover you must execute an extra rinse cycle before loading your tumble dryer.
• Never spray the machine with a jet of water. Danger of electric shock!
• When closing the door, please check that the washing is not caught in it.
• If the drying programme is interrupted in order to remove the laundry:
the laundry and the drum could be very hot.
• Adaptors and extension cables must not be used. There is risk of fire
because of overheating!

Safety instructions
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.
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
oper-ation 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
sol-vents (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 or
refreshed. 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 maxi-mum load
of 5kg. 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.
• In the case of washer / dryer tower combinations, do not place any
objects on the dryer during use as they could drop down.

Safety instructions
Installation and connection
• Please follow the separate Installation and connection instructions. If
necessary get some advice from your local chimney sweep or building
authorities.
• Check the dryer for Transportation damage. Never connect-up a damaged appliance! Contact your supplier if the appliance is damaged.
• If the tumble dryer has to be carried, first remove the plinth!
• Do not set-up the dryer in frost-endangered rooms!
• Set-up the dryer horizontal!
• 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).
• Do not place the dryer on high-pile carpet floors!
This would hinder air circulation at the ventilation slots!
• The electric power plug connector of the appliance must remain accessible even after erection.
•Check that the tumble dryer is not standing on the mains cable
• The outgoing air from the tumble dryer 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 dryer 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.
• 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.
• 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 instructions
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.
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.
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.
Use an authorised disposal site for your old appliance.
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product
may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the

Tips for environmental protection
Tips for environmental protection
• During washing, try not to use fabric softeners!
If the laundry is machine dried, it will remain soft even without using
fabric softeners.
• Shake out your laundry!
Shake out the laundry before putting it into the dryer in order to
reduce the drying time and creasing.
• Spin the laundry properly before drying it!
As a general rule, the more the laundry is spun, the more economically
your dryer works.
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 DRY
(KATOEN KAST-DROOG):
•Observe the maximum load instructions. Whenever possible, dry full
loads.
The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded, as indicated
in the programme charts.

Tips for environmental protection
• Select the correct drying programme!
Select the drying programme suited to the type and quantity of laundry, so
that your dryer will work more economically. Some consumption values:

If the amount of laundry is not enough for a particular degree of drying (e.g. IRON DRY; STRIJK-DROOG ), you should dry it in stages for
best economy: Fill the dryer and select the program IRON DRY (STRIJKDROOG ); after the end of this program take out your laun-dry for
ironing. Finally dry the remaining laundry with the program CUPBOARD
DRY (KAST-DROOG).
• SYNTHETIC: can only be used for loads up to 2,5 kg!
• Clean the fluff filter after each drying cycle!
