Safety instructions
The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and with
legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as manufacturers,
we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety notes.
General safety
• Repairs to the dryer must be carried out only by qualified personnel.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger.
Contact our Service Centre or your AEG dealer.
• Before starting the appliance check that the rated voltage and the type of
current indicated on the rating plate correspond to those which exist where
the dryer is installed. The type of fuse is also indicated on the rating plate.
• Never start the appliance if the electrical supply cable is damaged or
the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components
can be reached.
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operations.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket;
always take hold of the plug itself.
• Do not lean on the open door, the appliance could turn over.
• Never spray the machine with a jet of water. Danger of electric shock!
• If the drying programme is interrupted in order to remove the laundry:
the laundry and the drum could be very hot.
Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can
be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk that they
could become trapped inside.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dan-
gerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.
