Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for an effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption and proper care of fabric.

•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.

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.

5.3Positioning 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.

When a tumble dryer is stacked on the washing machine, use the accessory 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.

45º

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.

5.5 Water drainage

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.

Make sure that the drain hose end is not immersed in the water. There may be a return of dirty water into the appliance.

The drain hose should be positioned at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 100 cm from the floor.

3.To a stand pipe with vent-hole - Insert the drain hose directly into a drain pipe. Refer to the illustration.

12 www.aeg.com

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.

6.Position the hose directly to a builtin drain pipe in the room wall and tighten it with a clamp.

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.

For any electrical work required to install this appliance, contact our Authorised Service Centre.

The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.
