Safety instructions
It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with
the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or
transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the
appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in
order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appli-
ance and the relevant warnings.
The safety of AEG appliances complies with the industry standards and
with legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as manu-
facturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety notes.
You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause
injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force
Centre or your AEG dealer. . Always insist on genuine AEG spare parts.
• Before starting the appliance check that the rated voltage and the
type of current indicated on the rating plate correspond to those

cated 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.
• Risk of fire: items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or
cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not be placed in the
tumble dryer.

te an extra rinse cycle before loading your tumble dryer.

ance operations.
