1.2 General Safety

•Do not change the specification of this appliance.

•If the tumble dryer is put on top of a washing machine,

use the stacking kit. The stacking kit, available from

your authorized vendor, can be used only with the

appliance specified in the instructions supplied with

the accessory. Read it carefully before installation

(refer to the Installation leaflet).

•The appliance can be installed as freestanding or

below a kitchen counter with correct space (refer to

the Installation leaflet).

•Do not install the appliance behind a lockable door, a

sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite

side, that would prevent the appliance door from being

fully open.

•The ventilation opening in the base must not be

covered by a carpet, mat, or any floor covering.

•WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied

through an external switching device, such as a timer,

or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on

•Connect the mains plug to the mains socket only at

the end of the installation process. Make sure that the

mains plug is accessible after installation.

www.aeg.com4

•Ensure good air ventilation in the room where the

appliance is installed to avoid the backflow of

unwanted gases into the room from appliances burning

gas or other fuels, including open fires.

•WARNING: Do not install the appliance in an

environment with no air exchange.

The appliance contains flammable gas, propane

(R290), a gas with a high level of environmental

compatibility. Keep fire and ignition sources away from

the appliance. Be careful not to cause damage to the

refrigerant circuit containing propane.

•WARNING: In the appliance enclosure or in the built -in

structure, keep ventilation opening clear of obstruction.

•WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

•If the mains power supply cable is damaged, it must be

replaced by the manufacturer, its Authorised Service

Centre or similarly qualified persons to avoid an

electrical hazard.

•Do not exceed the maximum load of 8,0 kg (refer to

the "Program chart" chapter).

•Do not use the appliance if items have been soiled with

industrial chemicals.

•Wipe away lint or packaging debris that has

accumulated around the appliance.

•Do not run the appliance without a filter. Clean the lint

filter before or after each use.

•Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.

•Items that have been soiled with substances such as

cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot

removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should

be washed in hot water with an extra amount of

detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.

•Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,

waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes

or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be

dried in the tumble dryer.

ENGLISH 5

•Fabric softeners, or similar products, should only be

used as specified by the product manufacturer’s

instructions.

•Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially

when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble

dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation

reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat

cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to

catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items

can prevent heat from escaping and create a fire

hazard.

•If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable

or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care

products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first

be washed in hot water with extra detergent -this will

reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.

•Remove all objects from items that could be a source

of fire ignition such as lighters or matches.

•WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end

of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly

removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.

•Before any maintenance operation, deactivate the

appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the

socket.
