move when the appliance drains. Attach
the guide to the water tap or the wall.
To a stand pipe with vent-hole
• Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not
less than 60 cm (23.6”) and not more than
100 cm (39.3”). 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.
www.aeg.com10
Drain hose end
• If the end of the drain hose looks like this

If using liquid detergent, a programme without Prewash must be selected.
2)
To reduce creasing, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin
phase. The appliance adds some rinses.
3)
During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't
rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.
4)
Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.
5)
Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation
1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and the «Stand-
ard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and
water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared
for the selected programme.

7. CONSUMPTION VALUES
Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant stand-
ards. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of
laundry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltage
and the temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing pro-
gramme duration.
Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve
