Safety instructions
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.

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.

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.

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, 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:

End of drying cycle
If the laundry is not removed at the end of the cycle, the dryer per­forms an anti-creasing phase (duration: 30 minutes maximum). If you do not remove the laundry, the dryer will stop automatically at the end of the anti-creasing phase. The “EINDE/FIN” and “FILTER/FILTRE” lights remain lit and the buzzer sounds for 2 minutes. The light of the “START/PAUSE-DEPART/PAUSE” button goes off and a flashing zero appears on the display.
Switch the tumble dryer off
Turn the programme selector dial to “UIT/ARRET”; all the lights go out. The appliance is switched off.
Remove the laundry.
If you open and then close the door before turning the program­me selector dial to “UIT/ARRET”, all the lights corresponding to the phases making up the performed programme come on and the dis­play shows the duration of the programme.
Important! If the drying programme has to be stopped before it reaches the
end, we recommend that you turn the programme selector dial to position “AFKOELEN/REFROID.” and wait until the end of thi s phase before removing the laundry. This will avoid a build-up of heat inside the appliance. To do this first turn the dial to “UIT/ARRET” and then to “AFKOELEN/REFROID.” and depress “START/PAUSE­DEPART/PAUSE” button.

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.

Programm “AFKOELEN/REFROID.”
This position on the programme selector dial can be used to freshen the laundry (e.g. to remove a persistent odour of moth-balls).
Load
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.

Service
In the chapter “Something not working?” some problems that can be solved by yourself are listed. Read this section in the event of problems. If you are not able to find a solution, contact the Service centre. It is close by and, if necessary, an engineer will soon be with you. (Addres­ses and telephone numbers are given on the enclosed form).
In all cases, set your speech before calling, in order to facilitate troubleshooting: the engineer will be able to decide whether a service visit is necessary.
Take note of the serial number (Ser . No.) and the pr oduct number (Pr od. No.) indicated on the rating plate.
Prod. No. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ser. No. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Try to specify, as precisely as possible:
• The symptoms of the fault.
• When the fault occurs. When can a service visit be charged during the guarantee period?
- when it should have been possible to solve the problem by yourself,
with the help of the troubleshooting chart (see section “Something not working?”)
- when the engineer has to come out several times because he has
not been given all the relevant information he needs and so, for example, has to fetch spare parts. Repeated trips can be avoided if you prepare your call to the Service centre as described above.

DECLARATION OF GUARANTEE TERMS.
Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur. Our consumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the guarantee period. The service life of the applian­ce will not, however, be reduced as a result. This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and the provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this legislation are not affected by this declaration of gua­rantee terms. This declaration does not affect the vendor's statutory warranty to the end user. The appliance is gua­ranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following terms:
1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free of charge any defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is delivered to the first end user. These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for profes­sional or equivalent purposes.
2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it was in before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired. Parts replaced free of charge become our property.
3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention imme­diately.
4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase showing the purchase and/or delivery date.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass (vitreous ceramic), synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or the overall reliability of the appliance.
7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:
• a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,
• abnormal environmental conditions in general,
• unsuitable operating conditions,
• contact with harsh substances.
8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred outside of our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by inadequate installation or assembly, lack of maintenance or failure to respect the assembly instructions or directions for use.
9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are not qualified or expert or defects that result from the addition of non-original accessories or spare parts are not covered by the guarantee.
10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer services department. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or built-in appliances.
11. If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that remo­ving and replacing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half an hour, the costs that result therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage caused by these removal and replacement operations will be the responsibility of the user.
12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not conclusive, or
