Frequently Asked Questions - TR818A4OB AEG

How do I clean the lint filter on the AEG TR818A4OB?

Turn off and unplug the dryer. Open the door and pull out the lint filter located at the bottom of the door opening. Rinse under running water or wipe with a soft cloth. Let it dry completely before reinserting. Clean after every cycle for optimal performance.

What does the ProSense system do?

ProSense automatically adjusts the cycle duration and energy consumption based on the load weight and fabric type. It ensures fast, efficient drying without over-drying, saving energy and protecting your clothes.

How often should I clean the condenser filter?

The condenser filter should be cleaned approximately every 30 cycles or when the indicator light turns on. Remove the lower front panel, take out the filter, rinse with water, and dry thoroughly before replacing.

Can I dry wool or delicate items in this dryer?

Yes, the TR818A4OB has a dedicated Wool program with gentle tumbling and low heat, suitable for machine-dryable woolens. For delicates, use the Delicate program. Always check garment care labels.

What should I do if the dryer doesn't start?

Check that the door is fully closed and the child lock is off. Ensure the plug is securely inserted and the fuse/circuit breaker is working. Also verify that the delay start function is not active. If still not starting, consult the manual or contact AEG service.

How do I use the delay start feature?

Select your desired program and then press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the delay in hours (up to 24). Press Start/Pause. The dryer will begin counting down and start the cycle at the scheduled time.

Is the AEG TR818A4OB suitable for built-in installation?

This model is designed for freestanding installation only. For built-in options, refer to AEG's integrated dryer range. Ensure adequate ventilation around the dryer.

What is the energy consumption per cycle?

The energy consumption varies by program. For a standard cotton cycle at full load, it is approximately 1.5 kWh. The heat pump technology makes it highly efficient compared to condenser dryers.

How do I reset the dryer after a power cut?

The dryer will resume the cycle automatically after a power interruption. If it doesn't, turn the program dial to the Off position, wait a few seconds, then select the desired program and press Start/Pause.

10.1 Preparing the laundry

Loading the drum up to the maximum capacity indicated for the respective programmes will contribute to the energy saving.

Very often the clothes after washing cycle are kneaded and tangled altogether. Drying kneaded and tangled clothes is inefficient. To assure proper air flow and even drying it is recommended to shake and load one by one the clothes to the tumble dryer.

To assure proper drying process:

• Close the zips.
• Close the fasteners of duvet covers.
• Do not dry ties or ribbons loose (e.g. apron ribbons). Tie them before you start a programme.
• Remove all items from pockets.
• Turn items with the internal layer made of cotton inside out. Cotton layer must be faced outwards. • Always set the programme suitable for the type of laundry.
• Do not put light and dark colours together.
• Use suitable programme for cottons, jersey and knitwear to reduce shrinkage.
• Do not exceed the maximum load stated in the programmes chapter or shown on the display.
• Dry only the laundry that is suitable for tumble drying. Refer to the fabric label on the items.
• Do not dry large and small items together. Small items can be trapped inside the large items and remain wet.
• Shake the large clothes, fabrics before placing in the tumble dryer. It is to avoid moist places inside the fabric after the drying cycle.

If you do not turn off the appliance, the anti-crease phase starts (not active with all programs). A flashing symbol indicates the anti-crease phase is in progress. Laundry can be removed during this phase.

To remove the laundry:

1. Push the On/Off button for 2 seconds to turn the appliance off.
2. Open the appliance door.
3. Remove the laundry.
4. Close the appliance door. Possible causes of unsatisfactory drying results:
5. Inadequate default dryness level settings. See chapter Adjustment of the target final moisture
6. Room temperature is too low or too high. Optimal room temperature is between 18°C - 25°C.

Leave the door slightly opened after every cycle to avoid moisture.

11. HINTS AND TIPS

11.1 Ecological hints

Loading the drum up to the maximum capacity indicated for the respective programmes will contribute to the energy saving.

• Spin the laundry well before drying.
• Do not exceed the load sizes which are specified in the programmes chapter.
• Clean the filter after each drying cycle.
• Do not use fabric softener to wash and then dry. In the tumble dryer laundry becomes soft automatically.
• The water from the water container can be used to iron the clothes. You must first filter the water to eliminate remaining textile fibres (simple coffee filter is suitable). • Always keep the airflow slots at the bottom of the appliance clear.
• Make sure there is good airflow where the appliance is to be installed.

12. CARE AND CLEANING

12.1 Periodic cleaning schedule Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life of your appliance.

Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

If the appliance is not used for a long time unplug the appliance.

Cleaning the filter	When the indicator flashes
Empty the water container	When the indicator flashes
Cleaning the condenser	When the indicator flashes
Cleaning the humidity sensor At least 3 or 4 times a year
Cleaning the drum Every two months
Cleaning the control panel and housing Every two months
Cleaning the airflow slots Every two months

The following paragraphs explain how you should clean each part.

12.2 Removing the foreign items

Make sure that the pockets are empty and all loose elements are tied up before running the drying cycle. Refer to the "Preparing the laundry" section.

Remove any foreign items that you may find in the drum after the drying cycle (e.g. metal clips, buttons, coins, etc).

12.3 Cleaning the filter

At the end of each cycle the ⚙filtro symbol comes on the display and you must clean the filter.

The filter collects the lint during the drying cycle.

To achieve the best drying performance clean the filter regularly. The clogged filter causes the longer drying cycle and as a consequence the energy consumption increase.

Clean the filter by hand. Use a vacuum cleaner if necessary.

CAUTION!

When cleaning the filters, the lint should be thrown in the garbage bin and not washed through the drain in order to avoid spreading microplastics in the used water system.

1. Open the door. Pull the filter up.

1. Push the hook to open the filter.

1. Gather lint with hand from both internal parts of the filter.

Throw the lint in the dustbin.

1. If necessary, clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner. Close the filter.
2. If necessary, remove lint from the filter socket and gasket. You can use a vacuum cleaner. Place the filter back inside the filter socket.

12.4 Emptying the water container

Empty the condensed water container after each drying cycle.

If the condensed water container is full, the programme stops automatically. The 🔒 tanque/depósito symbol comes on the display and you must empty the water container.

To empty the water container:

1. Pull the water container out, keeping it in a horizontal position.

1. Drain the water into a basin or equivalent receptacle.

1. Place the water container back into position.
2. To continue the programme, press the Inicio/Pausa button.

12.5 Cleaning the condenser

If the symbol ⇒ condensador flashes on the display, inspect the condenser and its compartment. If it is dirty, clean it. Do the check not less than once every 6 months.

WARNING!

Do not touch the metal surface with bare hands. Risk of injury. Wear protective gloves. Clean carefully to avoid damaging the metal surface.

CAUTION!

Do not use hard attachment on vacuum cleaner to remove the fluff from the condenser. This may damage the ribs of the condenser, which leads to lower performance of the appliance and longer drying time.

To inspect:

1. Open the door. Pull the filter up.

1. Open the condenser cover.

1. Turn the lever to unlock the condenser lid.

1. Lower the condenser lid.

1. If necessary, remove the fluff from the condenser and its compartment. You can use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment.

1. Close the condenser lid.
2. Turn the lever until it clicks into position.
3. Put the filter back.

12.6 Cleaning the humidity sensor

CAUTION!

Risk of humidity sensor damage. Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the sensor.

To assure best drying results the appliance is equipped with metal humidity sensor. It is placed on the inner side of the door area.

Over usage time the surface of the sensor may get dirty which deteriorates the drying performance.

We recommend to clean the sensor at least 3 or 4 times a year or if you observe the drop of drying performance.

To clean you can use harder side of dish-washing sponge and bit of vinegar or dish soap.

To clean the sensor:

1. Open the loading door.
2. Clean the surfaces of the humidity sensor, wiping off the metal surface several times.

12.7 Cleaning the drum

WARNING!

Disconnect the appliance before you clean it.

Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the inner surface of the drum and drum lifters. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.

CAUTION!

Do not use abrasive materials or steel wool to clean the drum.

12.8 Cleaning the control panel and housing

Use a standard neutral soap detergent to clean the control panel and housing.

Use a moist cloth to clean. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth.

CAUTION!

Do not use furniture cleaning agents or cleaning agents which can cause corrosion.

12.9 Cleaning the airflow slots

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff from the airflow slots.
