AEG 1263 - Manual (Page 6)

How to deal with problems...
- Never tumble dry quilted garments containing foam rubber or
similar materials; they could catch fire.
- Never tumble dry fabrics stained with hair lacquer, nail varnish
remover or other similar substances which would give off toxic
fumes.
- Laundry dried in a tumble dryer comes out soft to the touch.
This means you can help protect the environment by using less
fabric softener in the wash.
- If so-called “ecological” or “perfume-free” detergents are used,
tumble-dried laundry may not have the typical “smell of fresh­
ness”. This is not due to a fault in your appliance, but simply to
the natural smell of the fabric which is not neutralised during
washing because the detergent contains no deodorants.
The Manufacturer accepts no responsibility for accidents
resulting from failure to observe the above safety recom­
mendations.
... the machine does not start:
■ Check that the appliance is plugged in.
■ Check that a programme has been selected.
■ Check that the ON/OFF button has been pressed.
■ Check that the porthole door is firmly shut.
■ Check that the fuse has not blown.
. the door will not open:
the safety device has locked it.
Wait 1 -2 minutes after the end of the programme to give the
safety device time to release the door.
... the machine does not fill:
■ Check that the tap is on.
■ Check whether the filter in the inlet hose is blocked.
It the machine takes longer than usual to fill with water, check
whether the filter in the inlet hose is blocked.
To do this, shut the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the
tap and remove the filter. Clean it with an old toothbrush
then refit it.
Tighten up the inlet hose.
... the machine vibrates or is noisy:
■ With very small loads (for example just one bathrobe) the ma­
chine may start to vibrate. This does not however affect per­
formance.
■ Check that the support feet are correctly adjusted. Refer to
the installation instructions.
■ Check that all the transit bolts and packing have been re­
moved. Refer to the installation instructions.
