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.

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.
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 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.

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 6 kg of laundry that
have to be store dried.

Drying
To change a programme already in progress, turn the selector dial
to RESET position, select the new programme and then depress
START button.
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 COOLING and wait until the end of this
phase before removing the laundry. This will avoid a build-up of
heat inside the appliance.
Remove or add laundry
It is possible to interrupt the drying cycle at any time in order to
remove or add laundry.
Open the door.
Caution! Laundry and drum can be hot.
Remove or add laundry.
Close the door and press START button to continue the drying
cycle.
End of drying cycle
A cooling phase is performed before the end of the drying cycle:
the heat is cut off during this phase. After the cooling phase, it is
possible to remove the laundry from the dryer.
Immediately open the door and remove the laundry.
Anti-creasing phase
If you do not remove the laundry at the end of the programme, the
machine will automatically carry out an Anti-crease phase for
approx 30 mins. During this period the drum will rotate at regular
intervals to avoid creasing and the buzzer will sound for 1 second
every 10 seconds, unless you have depressed the NO BUZZER button. The lights END and ANTI-CREASING PHASE will flash alternatively.
Switch the tumble dryer off
Depress ON/OFF button. Pull out the plug.
Clean the filters
To ensure free circulation of air during the drying cycle, the fluff
filters must be cleaned after each drying cycle, before removing
the laundry.

Drying times vary according to:
• The type of laundry
• The degree of spinning prior to drying.
• The size of the load
• The degree of dryness required
COOLING
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
recommend 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.

Brief summary of fabric information
Care symbols
Check whether fabrics are suitable for tumble drying. One of the following symbols should appear on the care label:
Basically, this fabric can be tumble dried; however the manufacturer
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
LOW TEMP. 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 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.

Cleaning and care
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).

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 product number (Prod.
No.) indicated on the rating plate.
Ser. 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.
