appliance does not touch

the wall or other units.

the level.

www.aeg.com

WARNING!

Do not put cardboard, wood

or equivalent materials

below the appliance feet to

adjust the level.

vibration, noise and the

movement of the appliance

when in operation.

When the machine is

installed on a plinth or if a

Do not use an extension

hose if the inlet hose is too

short. Contact the service

centre for the replacement

of the inlet hose.

3.4 Water-stop device

The inlet hose has a water stop device.

This device prevents water leaks in the

hose because of its natural ageing.

The red sector in the window «A» shows

this fault.

ENGLISH 9

If this occurs, close the water tap and

contact the authorized service centre to

replace the hose.

3.5 Water drainage

The drain hose should stay at a height of

not less than 60 cm and not more than

100 cm.

You can extend the drain

hose to maximum 400 cm.

Contact the authorized

drain hose and the

extension.

It is possible to connect the drain hose in

different ways:

1. Make a U shape with the drain hose

and put it around the plastic hose

guide.

2. On the edge of a sink - Fasten the

guide to the water tap or to the wall.

Make sure that the plastic

guide cannot move when

the appliance drains.

hose end is not immersed in

the water. There may be a

return of dirty water into the

appliance.

3. To a stand pipe with vent-hole -

Insert the drain hose directly into a

drain pipe. Refer to the illustration.

must always be ventilated ,

i.e. the inner diameter of the

drain pipe (min. 38 mm -
