Frequently Asked Questions - TX8C9V2BS AEG

How do I clean the fluff filter on my AEG TX8C9V2BS?

Open the door and pull the filter upwards from the lower part of the door opening. Remove the fluff by hand or with a soft brush. Rinse under running water if necessary and dry thoroughly before replacing.

What should I do if the drying cycle takes too long?

Check if the fluff filter and condenser are clean. Ensure the load size is appropriate (not too large). Also, verify that the room temperature is above 5°C and the dryer is not in a cold environment.

Can I install the tumble dryer as a stackable unit?

Yes, the AEG TX8C9V2BS can be stacked on top of an AEG washing machine using a stacking kit (available separately). Ensure the kit is compatible and follow the installation instructions.

How often should I clean the condenser unit?

Clean the condenser when the indicator light turns on (typically after 20-30 cycles). To clean, remove the lower front panel, take out the condenser, rinse with water, and replace after drying.

What does the 'Anti-Crease' function do?

The Anti-Crease function periodically rotates the drum after the drying program ends to prevent wrinkles from setting in. It can be extended up to 90 minutes.

Why is the drum not turning?

Check if the appliance is properly plugged in and the door is fully closed. If the drum still doesn't turn, there may be a fault with the belt or motor. Contact AEG service.

What is the energy consumption of this dryer?

The AEG TX8C9V2BS has an energy efficiency class of A+++. The annual energy consumption is approximately 235 kWh based on 160 drying cycles (standard cotton program at full load).

Can I use fabric softener in the tumble dryer?

No, do not use fabric softener in the tumble dryer. It can damage the sensors and leave residue on the drying drum. Use dryer sheets sparingly if needed.

How do I reset the dryer?

Turn the program selector to the 'Off' position. Wait 10 seconds. Select and start a new program. If the issue persists, unplug the dryer for 1 minute and plug it back in.

What is the recommended load size for optimum drying?

For best results, fill the drum loosely without overloading. The maximum dry load is 8 kg. For mixed loads, reduce to 4 kg to ensure efficient drying and reduce creasing.

8. DAILY USE

8.1 Preparing the laundry

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.

Fabric label Description
	Laundry is suitable for tumble drying.
	Laundry is suitable for tumble drying at higher temperatures.
	Laundry is suitable for tumble drying at low temperatures only.
	Laundry is not suitable for tumble drying.

8.2 To achieve best drying results

• The selected programme must be adequate to the type of dried clothes.

• The filter must be clean. Clogged filter makes drying inefficient.

- It is recommended to shake items before loading. Loose items are more liable for drying.

• The recommended load of dried items must be respected. • The airflow slots must be clean.

8.3 Loading the laundry

- 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 (a 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.

Maximum dryness

10. CARE AND CLEANING

10.1 Cleaning the filter

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

The filter collects the lint during the drying cycle.

Dryness level	Display symbol
Extra dryness	+###	CO=
Standard dryness	###	CO=

1. To memorise the setting, touch and hold down the Quiet Mode and Refresh buttons at the same time for approximately 2 seconds.

9.3 Deactivating the tank indicator

The water container indicator is activated by default. It illuminates at the end of the drying cycle or during the cycle if the water reservoir is full. If the draining kit is installed, the water container is drained automatically and the indicator can be deactivated.

To deactivate the indicator:

1. Turn the appliance on.
2. Wait approximately 8 seconds.
3. Select 1 of the available programmes.
4. Touch and hold down Refresh and Time Dry buttons at the same time. One of 2 configurations is possible:
5. The Tank indicator: is on if the symbol appears - the water container indicator is permanently activated

- The Tank indicator: is off if the symbol appears - the water container indicator is permanently deactivated

To achieve the best drying performances, clean the filter regularly. A clogged filter leads to longer cycles and increased energy consumption. Use your hand to clean the filter, and if necessary, a vacuum cleaner.

CAUTION!

Avoid the use of water to clean the filter. Instead, throw away lint in the dustbin (avoid dispersion of plastic fiber in water ambient).

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.

10.2 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

Tank symbol comes on the display you must empty the water container.

To empty the water container:

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 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.
