7.Remove the polystyrene protection from the bottom.

8.Pull up the appliance in vertical position.

9.Remove the power supply cable and the drain hose from the hose holders.

It is possible to see water flowing from the drain hose. This is due to the testing with water of the appliance in factory.

10.Remove the three bolts by using the spanner supplied with the appliance.

11.Pull out the plastic spacers.

12.Put the plastic caps, that you find in the user manual bag, in the holes.

We recommend that you keep the packaging and the transit bolts for any movement of the appliance.

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.

ENGLISH	11
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 the appliance is installed on a plinth, 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.

12	www.aeg.com
	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.

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.

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

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.

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.
