Safety instructions
The safety standards of AEG electric appliances are in keeping with the
recognised rules of technology and the law governing the safety of
appliances. Nevertheless as a manufacturer we are committed to
familiarise you with the following safety instructions:
General safety
• Repairs to the tumble dryer may only be carried out by trained
personnel. As a result of incorrect repairs considerable dangers for the
user may result. Please contact our customer service department or
an authorised AEG dealer in the event of repairs being necessary.
• Before starting your tumble dryer please ensure that the nominal
voltage and type of current specified on the type plate are the same
as those used at the place of installation. Please also refer to the type
plate for the type of fuse to be used.
• Never start the tumble dryer if the mains flex is damaged or the
control panel, work top or base strip are so damaged that the inside
of the tumble dryer is accessible.
• Switch off the tumble dryer before carrying out any cleaning, care
and maintenance work! You can make totally sure by pulling the
mains plug out of the socket or – if permanently connected – by
switching off the fuse switch in the fuse box or by unscrewing the
plug fuse right out.
• Never use the flex to pull the plug out of the socket but pull the
actual plug.
• Do not support yourself on the open door – the appliance could tip
over.
• Do not spray the appliance with a water jet – danger of an electric
shock!
• If you interrupt the drying program to remove washing: the washing
and the drum could be hot.
• Adaptors and extension cables must not be used. There is risk of fire
because of overheating!
