This document serves as the user manual for the AEG T6DB82GP Tumble Dryer, providing comprehensive instructions for its safe operation, maintenance, and optimal performance. It is designed to guide users through every aspect of the appliance, from initial setup to troubleshooting and care, ensuring a long and efficient lifespan for the product.
Function Description
The AEG T6DB82GP is a tumble dryer designed to efficiently dry laundry. It operates by circulating heated air through a drum where wet clothes are tumbled, removing moisture. The appliance features a water container that collects condensed water, which needs to be emptied after each drying cycle. Alternatively, a draining kit can be installed to automatically drain the water, eliminating the need for manual emptying. The dryer is equipped with a control panel that allows users to select various programs and options, tailoring the drying process to different fabric types and desired dryness levels. An internal filter collects lint and fluff during operation, which is crucial for maintaining the dryer's efficiency and preventing fire hazards. The condenser, another key component, is responsible for converting moisture from the air into water, and it also requires periodic cleaning. The appliance is designed for household use and can be installed freestanding or under a kitchen counter, provided there is adequate space and ventilation.
Usage Features
The tumble dryer offers a range of features to enhance the user experience and ensure effective drying:
- Program Selection: The appliance comes with a program dial to select from various drying programs, including "Katoen Eco" for cottons, "Katoen" for cotton fabrics, "Synthetica" for synthetics, "Mix" for mixed fabrics, "Fijne Was" for delicate items, "Strijkvrij" for easy-care fabrics requiring minimal ironing, "Beddengoed" for bed linen, "Dekbed" for duvets and pillows, "Jeans" for leisure clothing, and "Sportkleding" for sportswear. Each program is tailored to specific fabric types and load sizes, with maximum load capacities ranging from 1 kg to 8 kg.
- Dryness Level Options: Users can adjust the desired laundry dryness through the "Droogtegraad" option, with selections for "iron dry," "cupboard dry," "cupboard dry +," and "extra dry." The "cupboard dry" level is the default for most programs.
- Delicate Drying: The "Delicaat" option provides delicate drying for frequently-worn clothes with gradually reduced heat, while "Delicaat plus" offers extra delicate drying with reduced heat. These options cannot be selected simultaneously.
- Anti-Crease Function: The "Anti-kreuk" option extends the anti-crease phase at the end of the drying cycle by up to 120 minutes. During this phase, the drum rotates intermittently to prevent creases, allowing laundry to be removed at the user's convenience.
- Time Drying: The "Tijd" option allows users to set a specific drying time, ranging from 10 minutes to 2 hours in 10-minute steps, suitable for cottons, synthetics, and mixed loads.
- Delay Start: The "Startuitstel" option enables users to delay the start of a drying program from 30 minutes to 20 hours, offering flexibility in managing laundry tasks.
- Child Lock: A child lock feature can be activated to prevent children from tampering with the appliance. This locks all touch buttons and the program dial, ensuring safety.
- Buzzer Option: The appliance includes a buzzer that sounds at the cycle end and during the start and end of the crease guard phase. This can be activated or deactivated as per user preference.
- Auto Off Function: To conserve energy, the appliance automatically turns off if the Start/Pause button is not touched within 5 minutes or 5 minutes after a cycle ends.
- Loading Laundry: For optimal results, it is recommended to close zips and fasteners, tie loose ribbons, remove items from pockets, and turn cotton items with an internal cotton layer inside out. Users should not exceed the maximum load and should separate light and dark colors.
- Fabric Labels: The manual provides clear guidance on fabric labels, indicating whether laundry is suitable for tumble drying, and at what temperature (higher or low temperatures only), or if it is not suitable at all.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is essential for the AEG T6DB82GP to ensure its longevity, efficiency, and safe operation:
- Filter Cleaning: The filter collects lint and fluff during each drying cycle, and the appliance displays a "filter" symbol to remind users to clean it. The filter should be pulled up, opened, cleaned with a moist hand or a vacuum cleaner, and then placed back into its socket. It is also important to remove fluff from the filter socket and gasket.
- Water Container Emptying: The condensed water container must be emptied after every drying cycle. If the container is full, the "watertank" symbol illuminates, and the program stops automatically. The container should be pulled out horizontally, emptied into a basin, and then placed back into position.
- Condenser Cleaning: The "condensator" symbol on the display indicates when the condenser needs inspection and cleaning. To clean, the door and condenser cover should be opened, the two levers unlocked, and the condenser pulled out from the bottom compartment. It should then be cleaned in a vertical position over a basin, rinsing with a hand shower. After cleaning, the condenser is placed back, the lid closed, and the levers locked.
- Drum Cleaning: The inner surface of the drum and drum lifters should be cleaned with a standard neutral soap detergent and a moist soft cloth. Abrasive materials or steel wool should not be used.
- Control Panel and Housing Cleaning: The control panel and housing can be cleaned with a moist soft cloth and a standard neutral soap detergent. Furniture cleaning agents or corrosive cleaning agents should be avoided.
- Airflow Slots Cleaning: Fluff should be removed from the airflow slots at the bottom of the appliance using a vacuum cleaner to ensure proper ventilation.
- General Safety: Before any maintenance, the appliance must be deactivated, and the mains plug disconnected from the socket.
- Ecological Hints: To promote ecological use, users are advised to spin laundry well before drying, adhere to specified load sizes, and clean the filter after each cycle. Using distilled water for steam ironing and cleaning it before use is also recommended.
The manual emphasizes the importance of following all safety instructions, particularly regarding children and vulnerable people, electrical connections, and general appliance use, to prevent injury, damage, or electrical shock. It also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues, such as the dryer not operating, unsatisfactory drying results, or problems with program selection.
