Safety instructions

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. 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. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

General safety

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force Centre or your AEG dealer . . Always insist on genuine AEG spare parts.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

125987510_UK_I.qxp 2007-03-30 13:15 Page 4

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.

Positioning and connection

• Follow the separate instructions for positioning and connection.

• 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 is higher than + 35°C.

• The dryer must be levelled.

• 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 non-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.

• Ensure the room is well ventilated.

• A permanent connection to the mains power supply can only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Safety instructions

125987510_UK_I.qxp 2007-03-30 13:15 Page 5

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 per cent 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.

Safety instructions

125987510_UK_I.qxp 2007-03-30 13:15 Page 6

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, indications on consumption are provided, according to the spin speed. The data refers to 7 kg of laundry that have to be store dried.

• Please observe the full load specifications! The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded, as indicated in the programme charts.

• 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:

Adjusting the level of conductivity

Water contains, a variable quantity of limestone and mineral salts of which quantities vary according to geographical locations thus varying its conductivity values.

Relevant variations of the conductivity of the water compared to those prefixed by the factory could slightly influence the residual humidity of the laundry at the end of the cycle.

Your dryer allows you to regulate the sensitivity of the drying sensor based on conductivity values of the water by using the following procedure.

Procedure:

Turn the programme selector dial to switch on the appliance In selection mode press simultaneously the buttons 3and 6until «

CC00

appears on the digits.

Adjusting the level of conductivity:

Press the button 5 sequentially: the level of conductivity is indicated by the lighting of the horizontal hyphens.

Normally, the appliance is factory-set to the highest level; however, certain models may be configured differently.

Memorizing the new setting:

Simultaneously press down the buttons 3 and 6 until the previous drying cycle time appears again on the display and the buzzer sounds.

It is often difficult to estimate the weight of items to be dried. We therefore r ecommend that you adopt the following guidelines:

• cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly packed;

• synthetics: drum no more than half full;

• delicate fabrics: drum no more than one third full.

Hints & Tips on drying

Hints & Tips on Drying

Care symbols

Before placing articles of laundry in your tumble dryer, check the care labels to ensure they are recommended for tumble drying.

Basically, this fabric can be tumble dried; however the manufactur er does not specify whether it can be dried with normal or low temperature.

Normal drying (normal temperature) Gentle drying (low temperature) Do not tumble dry

If none of these symbols is found: Dry cottons, as well as mixed fabrics, at normal temperature. Press the

“DELICAAT/DELICAT” button when delicate cottons have to be dried. It is advisable to take into consideration the care symbols on garment labels when buying them.

• Wool, eiderdowns Do not dry any woollen items in the tumble dryer! They can felt! Eiderdowns can be tumble dried only if the corresponding care symbol is present.

• Fabrics sensitive to high temperatures Dry fabrics sensitive to high temperatures (such as acrylic or viscose) and items bearing the care symbol using a synthetic drying programmes.

• Tricot garments, knitwear Tricot garments and knitwear tend to shrink. Do not overdry these items. High quality products are less likely to

shrink.

• New coloured fabrics Do not dry new coloured fabrics with light-coloured laundry. This could lead to discoloration!

Cleaning and care

Warning! You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

External cleaning

Use only soap and water and then dry thoroughly.

Important: do not use methylated spirit, diluents or similar products.

Cleaning the door

Clean periodically the interior part of the door to remove any fluff from the seals around the filter.

Regular cleaning ensures correct drying.

Cleaning the filters

Your dryer will only function well if the filters are clean. The filters collect all the fluff which accumulates during drying and they must therefore be cleaned at the end of each programme, before removing the laundry, with a damp cloth. The filter in the inner door must be removed for cleaning.

Do not be alarmed by the amount of fluff. It is not due to excessive wear caused by the dryer. All fabric looses fluff when drying but it

goes un-noticed in the air. In a tumble dryer it simply collects in the filter.

If necessary the filters can be cleaned under running water using a brush. In this case, remove the filter in the door opening as per picture (it can be positioned with the tongue facing to the left or to the right).

Cleaning the drum

Warning! Do not clean the stainless steel drum with abrasive detergent or steel wool.

Wipe the inside of the drum and the drum paddles with a standard household detergent (e.g. vinegar solution).

Cleaning the panel and the controls

Warning! Do not use household furniture polish or abrasive detergents. Wipe the panel and the controls with a damp cloth only . Use only warm

water.
