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
• Loosen or tighten the feet to adjust
the level. A correct adjustment of the
appliance level prevents the vibration,
noise and the movement of the appli-
ance when in operation.
• The appliance must be level and sta-
ble.
28www.aeg.com 
						

							CAUTION!
Do not put cardboard, wood or
equivalent materials below the
appliance feet to adjust the level.
Make sure that there is sufficient
access after the installation for
possible repairs by a qualified
person.
Installation on suspended
flooring
Suspended wooden floors are particular-
ly susceptible to vibration. To help pre-
vent vibration we recommend you place
a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm
thick under the appliance, secured to at
least 2 floor beams with screws, the
wood panel must extend beyond the
front feet.
If possible install the appliance in one of
the corners of the room, where the floor
is more stable

• Connect the hose to the appliance.
Turn the inlet hose only left or right.
Loose the ring nut to set it in the cor-
rect position.
• 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. Con-
tact the service centre for the re-
placement of the inlet hose.Water pressure
The appliance works correctly if the wa-
ter pressure is not less than 0.05 MPa
(0.5 bar).
If you can not connect the water inlet
hose to the cold water tap of the primary
hydraulic system, connect it to your do-
mestic cold water storage system.
ENGLISH29 
						

							Make sure not to have more than a dis-
tance of 5.02 m (16.5 ft) between the ap-pliance inlet hose and the bottom of the
water storage tank.
Water-stop device
A
The inlet hose has a water stop device.
This device prevents water leaks in the
hose because of its natural ageing. The
red sector in the window «A» shows this
fault .
If this occur, close the water tap and
contact the service centre to replace the
hose.
13.5 Water drainage
There are different procedures to con-
nect the drain hose:
With the plastic hose guide.
 
• On the edge of a sink.
• Make sure that the plastic guide can-
not move when the appliance drains.
Attach the guide to the water tap or
the wall.
• To a stand pipe with vent-hole.
Refer to the illustration. Directly into a
drain pipe at a height of not less than
60 cm (23.6”) and not more than 100
cm (39.3”). The end of the drain hose
must always be ventilated , i.e. the in-
ner diameter of the drainpipe (min. 38
mm — min. 1.5”) must be larger than
the external diameter of the drain
hose.
