the user manual bag, in the holes.
We recommend that you
keep the packaging and the
transit bolts for any
movement of the appliance.
3.2 Installation on suspended
flooring
Suspended wooden floors are
particularly susceptible to vibration.
To limit vibration we recommend placing
a waterproof wooden panel, at least 15
mm thick, under the appliance. It should
be screwed to at least 2 floor beams and
should extend beyond the front feet.
If possible, install the appliance where
the floor is more stable.
3.3 Positioning and levelling
1. Install the appliance on a flat hard
floor.
Make sure that carpets do
not stop the air circulation
below the appliance.
Make sure that the
appliance does not touch
the wall or other units.
2. Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust
the level.
WARNING!
Do not put cardboard, wood
or equivalent materials
below the appliance feet to
adjust the level.
x4
The appliance must be level and stable.
A correct adjustment of the
appliance level prevents the
vibration, noise and the
movement of the appliance
when in operation.
3.4 The inlet hose
1. Connect the water inlet hose to the
back of the appliance.
2. Position it toward left or right
depending on the position of the
water tap.
ENGLISH 7
20O

Make sure that the inlet hose
is not in vertical position.
3. If necessary, loose the ring nut to set
it in the correct position.
4. Connect the water inlet hose to the
cold water tap with 3/4" thread.
CAUTION!
Make sure that there are no
leaks from the couplings.
Do not use an extension
hose if the inlet hose is too
short. Contact the service
centre for the replacement
of the inlet hose.
3.5 Water drainage
The drain hose should stay at a height of
not less than 60 cm and not more than
100 cm.
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.
Make sure that the drain
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.
The end of the drain hose
must always be ventilated ,
i.e. the inner diameter of the
drain pipe (min. 38 mm -
min. 1.5") must be larger
than the external diameter
of the drain hose.
www.aeg.com8
4. If the end of the drain hose looks like
this (see the picture), you can push it
directly into the stand pipe.
5. Without the plastic hose guide: Put
the drain hose in the spigot and
tighten it with a clip. Refer to the
illustration.
Make sure that the drain
hose makes a loop to
prevent particles going into
the appliance from the sink.
6. Position the hose directly to a built-in
drain pipe in the room wall and
tighten it with a clip.
You can extend the drain hose to
maximum 400 cm. Contact the
authorized service centre for the other
drain hose and the extension.
4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
4.1 Special features
Your new washing machine meets all
modern requirements for an effective
treatment of laundry with low water,
energy and detergent consumption and
respectful of fabric care.
• The ProSense technology detects
the laundry load size defining the
programme duration in 30 seconds.
The washing programme is tailored to
the laundry load and the type of fabric
without consuming more time, energy
and water than necessary.
• The steam has a quick and easy way
to refresh the clothes. The gentle
steam programmes remove odours
and reduce creases in dry fabrics so
they need little ironing.
The Plus Steam option, finishes every
cycle with gentle steam that relaxes
the fibres and reduces fabric creasing.
Ironing will be easier!
• Thanks to the Soft Plus option, the
fabric softener is uniformly spread out
in the laundry and deeply penetrates
the fabric fibres favouring a perfect
softness.
