Water supply
Your washing machine is fitted with a
high quality pressure hose Va inch bore
with a y* inch BSP screw connector for
connection to a water tap with male
thread. The necessajrv washers are en
closed. (Please do : use any other
washers as they may prove to be of an

Notes for plumber
Minimum water pressure: about 1 bar
excess pressure (= 1 atu, = 1 kp/cm^,
“ ^>'cm2 = 15 p.s.i.)
Mv lum permissible water pressure
about 10 bar. Where the supply pressure
exceeds 10 bar, it is necessary to fit a
pr jre relief valve type AD 723 (Part
Nuijioer E 612 896 723).
Sf ’d you require a longer water supply
hoovi than that provided, please use only a
continuous high-pressure hose (at least
60 bar) of suitable length. Do not extend
the existing hose.
On no account must you use cheap gar
den hose or similar hose. Please ensure
that suitable clamps are used for at
taching the hose to the connector fitting.
Please ensure that you comply with any
drinking water regulations of your local
water board.
At the completion of each wash pro
gramme, please close the tap.
Should you wish to soak laundry for a
lop^'^^r period, we recommend that you
cl the tap after the temperature has
been reached (at the end of the drum
movement).
S! !d you discover some residual water
in vour machine, after unpacking, please
df worry. It does not mean that the
ma^nine has been used before, it is due
to the very thorough quality control that
the machine undergoes in our factory.

through the drain hose fitted at the back
of the machine.
The drain hose (i/D 19 mm max.) is bent at
the end for hooking over a sink edge or si
milar receptacle. Please secure this bent
end in such a way that it cannot siip off
(especialiy where the sink or basin edge
is very wide).
If permanent connection to a siphon is re
quired, you can shohen the drain hose as
necessary (in this case the hose must be
ventilated. The necessary ventilating
valve or breather Is available from the
AEG Service Department).
When installing the machine In a room
with floor drainage (i. e. a gulley in a
laundry room), you can place the hose
directly onto the floor after cutting off the
bent part, which should be cut at an
angle. The hose has been routed inside
the machine in such a way that no water
can drain off unintentionally when the
hose is placed on the floor.
If necessary (e.g. in the case of a power
failure) the water can be drained from the
machine by carefully opening the
drainage filter. The laundry cah then be
removed from the drum as normal.
Preparing the laundry

mencing washing, can be of immense be
nefit to you. Take a little time and sort
