level. Any necessary adjustment can be

made with a spanner. Accurate levelling

prevents vibration, noise and

displacement of the appliance during

operation.

• After having levelled the appliance,

tighten the lock nuts.

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.

3.4 Water drainage

There are different procedures to connect the drain hose:

With the plastic hose guide.

• Make a U shape with the drain hose.

On the edge of a sink

• Make sure that the plastic guide cannot

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

(see the picture), you can push it directly

into the stand pipe.

Without the plastic hose guide.

To a sink spigot

• Refer to the illustration. Put the drain hose

in the spigot and tighten it with a clip.

• Make sure that the drain hose makes a

loop to prevent particles going into the

appliance from the sink.

To a wall-pipe

• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room

wall and tighten it with a clip.

You can extend the drain hose to maximum 400 cm. Contact the service

centre for the other drain hose and the extension.

Door

The dimensions of the door should be:

• width 595 - 598 mm

• thickness 16-22 mm

• the height X depends on the height of the

adjacent furniture's base.

Hinges

To mount the hinges it is necessary to drill

two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth12.5-14 mm

depending on the depth of door furniture) on

the inner side of the door.

The distance between the hole fixing centres

must be 416 mm. The distance from upper

edge of the door to the centre of the hole

depends on the adjacent furniture's

dimensions.

The hinges will be fixed to the door by means

of screws for wood 1 and 2 supplied with the

appliance.

Mounting the door

WARNING!

Do not remove the screw B.

Fix the hinges to the appliance by means of

the M5x15 screws.

The hinges can be adjusted to compensate

for possible uneven thickness of the door.

To align the door perfectly it is necessary to

loosen the screw, adjust the door and tighten

the screw A again.

Counter-magnet

WARNING!

Do not remove the screw B.

The appliance is pre set for a magnetic door

closure. To position the closure correctly, it is

necessary to screw the counter-magnet A

(steel disk + rubber ring) into the inner side of

the door.

Its position must correspond to the magnet B

on the appliance.

ENGLISH 13

WARNING!

Do not remove the screw B.

If the door has to be opened from left to

right, invert the position of the plates E, the

magnet D and the plate C. Mount the

counter-magnet D and the hinges A as

previously described.

4.4 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.

If using liquid detergent, a programme without Prewash must be selected.

To reduce creasing, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin

phase. The appliance adds some rinses.

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.

Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.

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.

If you set the shortest duration, we recommend that you decrease the load size. It is possible to fully

load the appliance, however the washing results can be less satisfactory.

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

the quality of product.
