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.

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.
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.
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 machine is
installed on a plinth or if a
washer 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

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 11
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.
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.
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.
www.aeg.com12
6. Position the hose directly to a builtin drain pipe in the room wall and
tighten it with a clamp.
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.
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.
5.6 Electrical connection
At the end of installation you can
connect the mains plug to the mains
socket.
The rating plate on the inner edge of the
appliance door and the 'Technical Data'
chapter indicate the necessary electrical
ratings. Make sure that they are
compatible with the mains power supply.
Check that your domestic electrical
installation can take the maximum load
required, also taking into account any
other appliances in use.
Connect the appliance to an earthed
socket.
The power supply cable must be easily
accessible after installing the appliance.
