www.aeg.com

We recommend that you

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.

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.

20O

45O

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.

ENGLISH 7

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.

4. If the end of the drain hose looks like

this (see the picture), you can push it

directly into the stand pipe.

www.aeg.com

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.
