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.
Important Safety Information Safety of children • 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.
Important Safety Information Installation and connection • Please follow the separate Installation and connection instructions. If necessary get some advice from your local chimney sweep or building authorities. • If the tumble dryer has to be carried, first remove the base strip! • Check the tumble dryer fortransport damages. Under no circumstances should you connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your supplier in the event of damages.
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. • When using so-called "fabric conditioner sheets", a deposit on the fluff filter may result, which can cause a blockage.
