1 Important 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.
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.
• 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 heat exchanger regularly.
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.
Environmental protection tips 2 Environmental protection tips • Your laundry will become light and soft in the laundry dryer even without a soft rinsing agent. • Loosen your laundry before loading it into the dryer. This helps to prevent lengthy running times and creasing. E • nsure your laundry is well spun. In the following table we give an overview of specific electric consumption data depending on the spinning speed.
• Choose the right drying programme for the type and quantity of laundry. The dryer will then operate as economically as possible.
