Installation should comply with local water authority and building
regulations’ requirements.
The appliance must be given a separate cold water supply and not be
connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or a booster
pump. A minimum water pressure of 0.48 bar is required for safe
operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from the rising
mains, you may be able to operate the appliance from your cold water
storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (161/2 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply, providing
there is a minimun height of 2.74 metres (9 ft) between the bottom
of the cold water storage tank and the bottom of the hot water cylin-
der.
Set the hoses correctly by loosening the
ring nuts. After positioning the inlet hoses,
be sure to tighten the ring nuts again to
prevent leaks.
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.

Installation
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by
carpets, rugs etc.
• Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.
• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of
wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas
cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered
with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be
inserted between the two appliances;
• The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature
can drop below 0.
• The water inlet hoses and the drain hose must not be kinked.
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessi-
ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Installation on a Suspended Floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To
help prevent 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.If possible install the appliance in one of the
corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.
Levelling
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable
feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood
or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Water inlet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are
colour coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the hoses be sure to fit
the mesh filters «A» supplied as per dia-
gram.
If only a cold water supply is available,
connect the two hoses to a cold water out-
let by means of a «Y» connection piece.
