keep the packaging and
the transit bolts for any
transport of the appliance.
5. Put the plastic caps, that you find in
the user manual bag, in the holes.
5.2 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.
WARNING!
It is possible to see
water flowing from the
drain hose. This is
because the washing
machine has been
tested at the factory.
4. Remove the three bolts by using the
key supplied with the appliance. Pull
out the plastic spacers.
5.3 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.

www.aeg.com10
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.
When the appliance is
installed on a plinth or a
tumble dryer is stacked on
the washing machine, use
the accessories described in
chapter 'Accessories'. Read
carefully the instructions
supplied with the appliance
and with the accessory.
5.4 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.
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.
5.5 Water drainage
The drain hose should be positioned at a
height of not less than 60 cm and not
more than 100 cm from the floor.
You can extend the drain
hose to maximum 400 cm.
Contact the authorized
service centre for the other
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.
ENGLISH 11
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.
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.
5. Without the plastic hose guide, to
a sink spigot - Put the drain hose in
the spigot and tighten it with a clamp.
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 clamp.
