1 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
voltage and type of supply specified on the type plate of the
appliance correspond 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
maintenance 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.
• If the appliance will be out of operation for an extended period of
time, unplug it from the mains.
• 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!
