The sum of approximate energy consumption to dry: 150 kg of the cotton laundry with cupboard dry programme + 280 kg with iron dry programme + 150 kg of synthetic laundry with cupboard dry pro- gramme. This is approximate consumption for the 4 person household which correctly use the tumble dryer.

CAUTION! Before use all parts of the transport packaging must be removed. ENGLISH 151. Open loading door.

2. Pull off adhesive strips from inside

machine on top of drum.

3. Remove foil hose and polystyrene

As to the outlet itself, if you have decided on a install wall/window grille, a good local builder’s merchant can supply you with the necessary fittings and installation advice. Make sure that the vent hose length is less than 2 m, and that it contains no more than 2 bends. WARNING! It is important not to connect the vent hose to, for example, a cooker hood, or a chimney or flue pipe designed to transmit the exhaust from a fuel burning appliance. Note that to prevent condensation problems, it is essential that the dryer be installed with the flexible hose to transmit its “exhaust” at least beyond the kitchen units; preferable outside the kitchen. In order to prevent the appliance from overheating, it is important that the steam exhaust is unobstructed. Thus, if a permanent hose installed to an external wall or ceiling, it must be ensured an exhaust capacity of minimum 150 m3/h. If the dryer is installed adjacent to kitchen units, make sure that the vent hose is not squashed. If the hose is not fully squashed, drying efficiency will be decreased , resulting in longer drying times and higher energy consumption. If the hose is fully squashed, the automatic cut-outs with which the appliance is fitted can operate. When operating the tumble dryer, the room temperature must not be lower than +5°C and higher than +35°C, as it can affect the performance of the appliance. www.aeg.com 16If the hose is long and the room temperature low, the moisture might condense to water inside the hose. This is an usual occurrence. To prevent this water from the hose, it is recommend to drill a small hole (via. 3 mm) in the lowest point of the hose and to put a small container below it. (See picture, point B).

Installation There are 3 vent outlets: on the left, right side and at the rear.

1. Pull the ring nut A from the vent

2. Screw on the ring nut to the hose

and push it into position.

The not used vents must be sealed with supplied covers.
