8. Pull up the appliance in vertical
position.
9. Remove the power supply cable and
the drain hose from the hose holders.

3.2 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.
3.3 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.

A correct adjustment of the
appliance level prevents the
vibration, noise and the
movement of the appliance
when in operation.
3.4 The inlet hose

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. Contact the service
centre for the replacement
of the inlet hose.
3.5 Water-stop device
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.
ENGLISH 9

A
If this occurs, close the water tap and
contact the authorized service centre to
replace the hose.
3.6 Water drainage
The drain hose should stay at a height of
not less than 60 cm and not more than
100 cm.
You can extend the drain
hose to maximum 400 cm.
Contact the authorized
service centre for the other
drain hose and the
extension.
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.
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.
www.aeg.com10

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 built-
in drain pipe in the room wall and
tighten it with a clamp.
