User manual

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop
device, which protects against damage
caused by water leaks in the hose which
could develop due to natural ageing of the
hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in
the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the
water tap off and refer to your Service Force
Centre to replace the hose.
Water drainage
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece” supplied. The standpipe
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia-
gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.
When discharging into a stand-
pipe ensure that the top of the
curve in the hose end is no
more than 90 cm (35.4”) and
no less than 60 cm (23.6”)
above floor level.
The upright standpipe should have a mini-
mum length of 30 cm (12”) from the bottom
of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see dia-
gram). Make sure that it is designed in such a
way that the end of the drain hose cannot be
covered with water.
Longer drain hoses are available in lengths
of 2.7 and 4 metres from your AEG Service
Force Centre.
If you intend the drain hose from the machine
to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink
is empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use
the plastic “U -Piece” supplied.
Important
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to pipework that has
not been used for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected in the pipes.
