SAFETY INFORMATION
Before the installation and use of the ap-
pliance, carefully read the supplied in-
structions. The manufacturer is not re-
sponsible if an incorrect installation and
use causes injuries and damages. Always
keep the instructions with the appliance
for future reference.
CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE
PEOPLE SAFETY
WARNING!
Risk of suffocation, injury or per-
manent disability.
• Do not let persons, children included,
with reduced physical sensory, reduced
mental functions or lack of experience
and knowledge use the appliance. They
must have supervision or instruction for
the operation of the appliance by a per-
son who is responsible for their safety.
• Do not let children play with the appli-
ance.
• Keep all packaging away from children.
• Keep all detergents away from children.
• Keep children and pets away from the
appliance door when it is open.
• If the appliance has a child safety de-
vice, we recommend you activate it.
CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
• When you activate this device, you can-
not close the door. This prevents chil-
dren or pets to be closed in the drum.
To activate the device, turn it clockwise,
until the groove is horizontal. To deacti-
vate the device, turn it counterclock-
wise, until the groove is vertical.
GENERAL SAFETY
• Do not use the appliance for professio-
nal use. The appliance is only for do-
mestic use.
• Do not change the specifications of this
appliance. There is the risk of injury and
damage to the appliance.
• Do not dry not washed items in the ap-
pliance.
• Do not use the drying programme if
you have used industrial chemicals for
cleaning.
• When you load the appliance make
sure that no gas lighters or matches are
accidentally left in the garments pock-
ets .
• Wash in hot water with extra detergent
before you dry the items that have
stains of substances such as cooking oil
acetone, petrol, kerosene, spot remov-
ers, turpentine, waxes and wax remov-
ers .
• Do not dry in this appliance items such
as foam rubber (latex foam), shower
caps, waterproof textiles (if there is no
special drying programme), rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows
fitted with foam rubber pads.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontane-
ously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as in a drying programme.
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 so create a fire hazard.
If you can not avoid that you dry fabrics
that contain vegetable or cooking oil or
products contaminated by hair care,
first wash them in hot water with extra
detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.
The final part of the drying programme
occurs without heat (cool down cycle)
to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that items will
not be damaged.
• Do not install the appliance behind a
lockable door, a sliding door, a door
4www.aeg.com

with a hinge on the opposite side in
such a way that a full opening of the
door is restricted.
• Fabric softener or equivalent products
must be used as specified by the fabric
softener manufacturer.
• Obey the safety instructions on the de-
tergent packaging to prevent burns to
eyes, mouth and throat.
• Plastic items are not heat resistant.
– If you use a detergent ball, remove it
before you set the drying pro-
gramme.
– Do not use a detergent ball when
you set a non-stop programme.
WARNING!
Risk of explosion or fire.
• Do not put flammable products or
items that are wet with flammable
products in, near or on the appliance. if
it is not possible to avoid it, fully rinse
with extra water items cleaned with
flammable products.
• To prevent from the risk of self combus-
tion do not stop the drying programme
before the end of the drying cycle un-
less all items are quickly removed and
spread out so that the heat is dissipa-
ted.
WARNING!
Risk of burns!
• When you interrupt the drying pro-
gramme, the laundry and the drum may
be hot. Remove the laundry carefully.
• Do not touch the glass of the door
while a programme operates. The glass
can be hot.
