This document is a user manual for the AEG ADS854R5SB Tumble Dryer, providing essential information for its safe and effective operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Function Description
The AEG ADS854R5SB is a tumble dryer designed for household use, specifically for drying clothes, towels, and linen. It features various drying programs tailored to different fabric types and desired dryness levels, including options for cottons, synthetics, delicates, bedding, denim, wool, and business shirts. The dryer also incorporates special functions like "Vapour Refresh" to quickly refresh fabrics and smooth out creases, and "Hygienic Care" for sanitizing white or light-colored cotton items. A "Time Dry" function allows users to set a specific drying duration, while "Delay Start" enables scheduling the program to begin at a later time. The appliance is equipped with an "Extra Anticrease" phase to minimize creasing after the drying cycle.

Usage Features
The tumble dryer offers a user-friendly control panel with a program selector knob and touch buttons for various options.
- Program Selection: A knob allows users to choose from a range of programs like "Fast 40," "Cottons," "Synthetics," "Mixed," "Delicates," "Bed Linen," "Vapour Refresh," "Hygienic Care," "Denim," "Wool," "Business Shirt," and "Energy Saver."
- Dryness Level: Three options are available: "Extra Dry" (ideal for towels/bathrobes), "Cupboard Dry" (suitable for towels, t-shirts, underwear), and "Iron Dry" (for items suitable for ironing like sheets, tablecloths, shirts).
- Time Dry: Users can set drying durations of 15, 20, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes, recommended for small loads or single items.
- Dry Temp: Options include "Boost," "Low," and "Airing." "Boost" is for most fabrics, "Low" for delicates and synthetics to prevent overheating, and "Airing" for circulating air without heat.
- Delay Start: Allows setting a delay from 30 minutes up to 20 hours before the program begins.
- Extra Anticrease: This function helps prevent creases by rotating the drum for 5 seconds every minute for up to 1 hour after the drying cycle. It cannot be disabled but can be stopped by opening the door or pressing Start/Pause.
- Child Lock: Locks the control panel to prevent accidental changes during operation.
- End-Of-Dry Buzzer: Can be enabled or disabled to signal the end of a program.
- Display: A digital display shows drying cycle time, delay start time, and alarm codes. Indicators for "clean filter," "drying phase," "cooling phase," and "anticrease phase" are also present.
- Loading: It is recommended to load the dryer loosely, no more than two-thirds full, to ensure clothes tumble freely and prevent overloading, which can reduce efficiency and increase creasing.
- Preparation: Users are advised to sort laundry by fabric type, check and empty pockets, close fasteners, and spin dry laundry thoroughly in the washing machine before tumble drying.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for the dryer's performance and safety.
- Lint Filter Cleaning: The "Clean Filter" indicator reminds users to clean the lint filter before or after each use. A clean filter reduces drying times, saves energy, and prevents overheating, which can damage clothes. The manual provides detailed steps for removing and cleaning the lint filter, including removing fluff from the filter socket and gasket using a vacuum cleaner if necessary.
- Drum Cleaning: The inner surface of the drum and drum lifters should be cleaned with a standard neutral soap detergent and a soft cloth. Abrasive materials or steel wool should not be used.
- Control Panel Cleaning: The control panel should be cleaned with a moist cloth and a standard neutral soap detergent, then dried with a soft cloth. Furniture cleaning agents or corrosive agents should be avoided.
- Water Inlet Filter Cleaning: If the water is hard or contains lime deposits, the water inlet filter may become clogged. The manual outlines steps to close the water tap, remove the inlet hose, clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush, remove the inlet hose behind the appliance, and clean the filter in the valve. This is particularly relevant for models with "Vapour Refresh" functionality.
- Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section with common problems, possible solutions, and alarm codes (E40 for open door, EHO for unstable main supply, E91 for communication error between electronic elements).
