Important Safety Information 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 • 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 • Check the dryer for Transportation damage. Never connect-up a damaged appliance! • Contact your supplier if the appliance is damaged. • If the tumble dryer has to be carried, first remove the plinth! 1 Important! The heat pump dryer may only be transported upright. If it is necessary to transport the dryer on its side then it should be laid only on its right side. After it has been transported wait for two hours before using for the first time.
General Information 3 General 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.
Disposal 2 Disposal 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.
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. • Remove as much water as possible from the washing before drying! This is based on the principle: the better you spin the washing before drying the more economical the dryer is.
Environmental protection tips • Select the appropriate drying program for the type and quantity of laundry. The dryer will then operate as economically as possible.

The key features of your appliance The key features of your appliance • Dries at a low temperature, therefore no SPECIAL CARE (SCHON) button required • Up to 50 percent electricity saving compared with conventional dryers • Fluff filter behind plinth cover; protects the heat pump unit against fluff deposits • Program or time setting via the program selector • AUDIBLE SIGNAL (SIGNAL) can be selected in addition; an intermittent audible signal is sounded after the end of the program.
The key features of your appliance How the condenser dryer WP functions The condenser dryer WP operates with an extremely compact and powerful heat pump such as is also found in modern house heating systems and systems for producing hot water. In conventional condenser dryers the heat extracted in the drying process escapes with the exhaust air. By using the heat pump, this heat is re-used to heat the drying air in the tumble dryer.
