Important Safety Information
The safety of AEG electrical appliances complies with the established
technical principles and statutory equipment safety regulations. Never-
theless, as manufacturer we have to draw your attention to the follow-
ing 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 volt-
age and type of supply specified on the type plate of the appliance cor-
respond 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 main-
tenance 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.
• Never pull on the cable to disconnect the mains plug from the power
outlet. Always grasp and pull-out the plug.
• Don’t lean on the opened door; this could make the appliance fall over.
• Don’t use a water jet to spray-down the appliance. Danger of electric
shock!
• The covering hood for the filament lamp bulb for drum illumination
must be screwed-on.
• When closing the door, please check that the washing is not caught in
it.
• If you interrupt the drying process to take out laundry, bear in mind
that the laundry and the drum could be hot.
• Adaptors and extension cables must not be used. There is risk of fire
because of overheating!
