Important Safety Information

1Important Safety Information

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. Dont lean on the opened door; this could make the appliance fall over. Dont use a water jet to spray-down the appliance. Danger of electric shock! 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! 6

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 condenser 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

3General 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.

Disposal

2Disposal
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 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.

Environmental protection tips

2 Environmental protection tips

Your laundry will become light and soft in the tumble dryer even without a fabric softening agent. Loosen your laundry before loading it into the dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times and creasing. Ensure your laundry is well spun. 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:
Spinning/wringing out: Revolutions per minute 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 Residual dampness in litres 3.5 3.0 2.7 2.5 2.2 in % 70 59 53 50 44 Drying cycle: Time required in Energy requirement minutes in kWh 130 110 105 100 95 3.5 3,0 2.7 2.6 2.5

Observe the maximum load instructions. Whenever possible, dry full loads.

10

Environmental protection tips

Select the appropriate drying program for the type and quantity of laundry. The dryer will then operate as economically as possible. Some typical consumption values:
Drying program COTTONS CUPBOARD DRY1 COTTONS HAND IRON1 EASY CARES CUPBOARD DRY2 1) spun at 800 revolutions per minute 2) spun at 1000 revolutions per minute Fill weight in kg 5 5 2.5 Duration in Minutes 130 100 55 Power consumption in kWh 3.5 2.8 1.3

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 CUPBOARD 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 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 CONDENSER regularly! The dryer will operate more economical ly if you clean the CONDENSER regularly.

Service
In the chapter "Something not working?" some disturbances have been summarised, which you can solve yourself. If you do not find any helpful information there, please contact your local customer service centre. It is nearby and if necessary can reach you quickly. (Addresses and phone numbers can be found in the Warranty Conditions/Service Departments) Be well prepared before you phone. This facilitates the diagnosis and the decision as to whether a customer service visit is necessary. With our checklist you can gather important information before making your call: Make a note of the PNC number and the S number. They are both on the type plate behind your tumble dryers door. PNC ................................ S-No ................................ If possible establish: How is the disturbance evident? Under what circumstances does the disturbance occur? When do you incur costs even during the warranty period? if you could have solved the disturbance yourself with the help of the Troubleshooting table (see section "Something not working?"), if the customer service engineer has to make several journeys because he did not receive all the necessary important information before his visit and now e.g. has to fetch spares. You can avoid these extra trips by preparing your telephone call properly in the way described above.
