13.3 Positioning and levelling

ENGLISH 27

• 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

• Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust the level. A correct adjustment of the appliance level prevents the vibration, noise and the movement of the appliance when in operation.

• The appliance must be level and stable.

CAUTION!

Do not put cardboard, wood or equivalent materials below the appliance feet to adjust the level.

Make sure that there is sufficient access after the installation for possible repairs by a qualified person.

13.4 The inlet hose

Installation on suspended flooring

Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams with screws, the wood panel must extend beyond the front feet. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable

Connect this appliance to a cold water supply.

• Connect the appropriate end of the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" thread. Always use the hose supplied with the appliance.

Page 28

www.aeg.com

• Connect the other end of the inlet hose to the back of the appliance.

Turn the inlet hose only left or right. Loose the ring nut to set it in the correct position.

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.

Water pressure

The appliance works correctly if the water pressure is not less than 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar). If you can not connect the water inlet hose to the cold water tap of the primary

hydraulic system, connect it to your domestic cold water storage system. Make sure not to have more than a distance of 5.02 m (16.5 ft) between the appliance inlet hose and the bottom of the water storage tank.

13.5 Water drainage

There are different procedures to connect the drain hose:

• On the edge of a sink.

• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot move when the appliance drains. Attach the guide to the water tap or the wall.

Page 29

Without the plastic hose guide.

ENGLISH 29

• To a stand pipe with vent-hole. Refer to the illustration. Directly into a

drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm (23.6”) and not more than 100 cm (39.3”). The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated , i.e. the inner diameter of the drainpipe (min. 38 mm — min. 1.5”) must be larger than the external diameter of the drain hose.

• If the end of the drain hose is this (see the drawing), you can push it directly into the stand pipe.

• To a sink spigot. Refer to the illustration. Put the drain

hose in the spigot and tighten it with a clip. Make sure that the drain hose makes a loop to prevent that remaining particles go in the appliance from the sink.

You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400 cm. Contact the service centre for the other drain hose and the extension.

• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a clip.
