the slots will also be covered if the drum is overfilled. Observe the  
maximum load of 5 kg. There is a risk of overheating which could  
cause a fire!  
• Only dry washing that does not contain any explosive objects (fire  
lighters, spray cans). There is a risk of fire or an explosion!  
• In the case of washer / dryer tower combinations, do not place any  
objects on the dryer during use as they could drop down.  
Child Safety

For the installer - Safety information  
For the installer - Safety information  
• Check the appliance for transportation damage before installation.  
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried  
out by a qualified electrician or competent person.  
• This tumble dryer is designed to be vented through to the open air. It  
should have its own ventilation system which should not be joined  
with any other ventilation system connected to any other appliance.  
• The dryer must not be vented into a chimney, or flue pipe designed to  
carry the exhaust from a fuel burning heating appliance.  
• If the tumble dryer is installed next to a fuel burning stove, a heat  
insulation non-flammable pad must be inserted between the fuel  
burning stove and the tumble dryer: (dimensions 85 x 57 cm).  
• If the dryer is installed in a room with a fuel burning heating appli-  
ance, consult your local Corgi registered installer.  
• The tumble dryer should not be installed in situations which may be  
subject to freezing temperatures.  
• The installation site must be well ventilated.  
• Ensure the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.  
• If the machine is situated on carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in  
order to allow air to circulate freely.  
• The tumble dryer must be level.  
• Observe the safety precautions in the operating instructions for your  
dryer.  
• Air is drawn in through vents at the rear and front of this appliance.  
Therefore, keep the area around the appliance clear.

1 WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety meas-  
ures not be observed.  
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the  
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is  
located inside the door.  
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of hav-  
ing to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved  
(BS 1362) fuse must be used.  
Should the plug need to be  
replaced for any reason. The  
wires in the mains lead are col-  
oured in accordance with  
the following code:  
Green  
& Yellow  
Green and Yellow : Earth

Electrical Connection  
• The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the termi-  
nal marked with the letter “E“ or by the earth symbol or coloured  
green and yellow  
• The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal “N“ or col-  
oured black.  
• The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked  
“L“ or coloured red.  
• Upon completion there must not be cut, or stray strands of wire  
present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.  
WARNING: A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious  
safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of  
safely.  
1
Permanent connection  
In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a  
double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply  
(mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts  
and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the cur-  
rent electrical regulations.  
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any  
point.  
10  
 
Site Preparation  
Site Preparation  
• The installation surface must be clean and dry.  
• Do not install on a deep pile carpet.  
• If the appliance is installed next to a heat source (e. g. cooking appli-  
ance), a heat insulation pad (85 x 57 cm) must be placed between the  
washing machine and the heat source.  
• Do not install the appliance where the temperature may fall below  
freezing or rise above 35°C.  
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily  
accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.  
Levelling the Appliance  
The appliance must be levelled using the adjustable feet. Use a  
screwdriver to adjust to the feet until the appliance is level.  
11  
 
Venting  
Venting  
The appliance expels hot, moist air which must be able to flow freely  
from the tumble dryer vent.  
Tumble Dryer Vents  
Rear view  
View from left  
View from right  
The most efficient way of venting the expelled air is via a vent hose  
through to the outside.  
12  
 
Venting  
Venting through a Vent Hose  
The vent hose expelling the hot air should be 100 mm diameter and no  
longer than 4 meters. Avoid bends in the vent hose as this will reduce  
the air flow. The maximum length of the vent hose may be:  
4 meters with 0 bends, or  
2 meters with 2 bends.  
If the vent hose is to be permanently installed to the outside, a wall box  
or suitable cover should be used on the outside wall.  
Example:  
A vent hose (Part number: 647 000 010) and wall box (Part number:  
647 000 020) are available from your local AEG Service Force Centre.  
Ensure the vent hose is not squashed. The drying efficiency of the  
tumble dryer will be affected and may cause the safety cut outs to  
operate.  
1 Warning! The vent hose must not be connected to a flue pipe or  
chimney designed to carry the exhaust from a fuel burning heating  
appliance.  
13  
 
Venting  
Venting without a Vent Hose  
If a vent hose is not connected to the tumble dryer, the air can be  
expelled into the installation room providing the following precautions  
are observed.  
• The vent(s) in use must be at least 30 cm from the wall or any other  
object.  
• Any vent less than 30 cm from a wall or other object must be closed  
using the cover provided.  
• The installation room must be well ventilated during the drying cycle.  
14  
 
General Information  
3General Information  
• To prevent creasing do not exceed the maximum load stated in the  
program table.  
• When using fabric conditioning sheets, we recommend the condi-  
tioning sheet is pinned (using a safety pin) to an article of laundry  
and placed in the tumble dryer.  
• When using fabric conditioning sheets or drying starched washing in  
the tumble dryer, it is important to clean the drum to prevent a build  
up of any residues/deposits. See maintenance and cleaning section.  
• Please ensure the appliance is easily accessible to an engineer after  
installation.  
2Disposal  
Packaging  
• Dispose of the packaging material correctly. All packaging materials  
are environmentally friendly and can be disposed of without any  
danger to the environment.  
• The external plastic covering and bags inside are made of Polyethylen  
(marking >PE<).  
• The padding is made of CFC free expanded polystyrene  
(marking >PS<).  
Tumble Dryer  
When disposing of the tumble dryer.  
• Cut off the mains cable and destroy the plug.  
• Disable the door catch to prevent young children becoming trapped  
inside.  
• Use an authorised disposal site.

Environmental protection tips  
2Environmental protection tips  
• Your laundry will become light and soft in the tumble dryer even with-  
out a fabric softening agent.  
• Loosen your laundry before loading it into the dryer. This helps to pre-  
vent lengthy running times and creasing. Ensure your laundry is well  
spun.  
In the following table we give an overview of specific electric con-  
sumption data depending on the spinning speed. This information is  
valid for 5kg laundry:
