Pull out the three
plastic spacers from
the holes into which
the bolts were fit-
ted.
Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find in the plastic ba\
g
containing the instruction booklet.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine
ever has to be transported again.
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 cooke\
r or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered with alumini-
um 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°C.
 The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
 Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Levelling
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet
in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or sim-
ilar materials under the machine to compen-
sate for any unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet (cold water connection only)
Connect the hose to a
tap with a 3/4” thread.
Installation should
comply with local
water authority and
building regulations’
requirements.
Set the hose correctly
by loosening the ring
nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.
Do not connect to a hot water supply.
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 nat-
ural 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
TThis appliance is designed to be perma-
nently plumbed into your homes drainage
system using one of the following methods.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain
hose using the “U” piece” supplied.
Place the drain hose into your
standpipe, which should have
an internal diameter of approx-
imately 38mm 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
standpipe is no more than 90
cm (35.4) and no less than 60
cm (23.6) above floor level.
The drain hose may be extend-
ed to a maximum of 4 metres.
An additional drain hose and
joining piece is available from
your local Service Force Centre. The joining piece must have an internal
diameter of 18 mm.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot
has not been used
before, remove any
blanking plug that
may be in place.
Push the drain hose
onto the spigot and
secure with a clip if
required, ensure a
loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the
sink entering the washing machine.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional
drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Cen-
tre. The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.
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 \
rea-
sonable amount of water to flush out any debris that may have collected \
in

In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dish-
washers should be connected
to the FOUL drainage system,
the water will then be taken
to a sewage works for treat-
ment before being discharged
safely into a river.
It is essential that these appli-
ances are not connected to the
surface water drainage system
as this water is discharged
directly into a river or stream
and may cause pollution.
If you require any further
advice please contact your local
water authority.

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your
appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which
is marked with the letter «E» or the earth symbol  or coloured green and
yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter «N» or coloured black.
Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter «L» or coloured red.
The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a
13 Amp BS1362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/c\
arrier is
indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.
A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local AEG/ELEC-
TROLUX Service Centre.
Permanent connection
In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a\
 dou-
ble pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains\
), with
a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable\
for the required load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
This operation should only be performed by a qualified electrician.

Building-in
This appliance has been designed to
be built into the kitchen furniture.
The recess should have the dimen-
sions shown in picture A.
When installing the appli-
ance into the kitchen furni-
ture ensure, if possible, the
hoses are placed in either of
the two recesses on the back
of the appliance. This will
help to prevent the hoses
from becoming kinked or
trapped. Picture AB.
Preparation and assembly of the door
The machine is originally pre-
arranged for the assembly of a door
opening from right to left.
In this case it is sufficient to screw in
the hinges (1) and the counter-mag-
net (6) provided with the appliance,
at the right level (Fig. B).
a) Door
The dimensions of the door should
be:
- width 595-598 mm
- thickness 16-22 mm
The height (C-Fig. C) depends on the height of the adjacent furnitures base.

b) Hinges
To mount the hinges it is necessary to
drill two holes (dia. 35 mm, depth
12.5-14 mm) on the inner side of the
door. The distance between the holes
hobs fixing centres must be 416 mm.
The distance (B) from upper edge of
the door to the centre of the hole
depends on the adjacent furnitures
dimensions.
The required dimensions are given in the picture C.
The hinges will be fixed to the door by means of screws for wood (2-Fig. B) sup-
plied with the appliance.
c) Mounting the door
Fix the hinges (1) to the machine by means of
the M5x15 screws (3-Fig. B). 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 (3-Fig. B), adjust the door and
tighten the screw again.
d) Counter-magnet (6)
The appliance is pre-arranged for a
magnetic closure of the door. To
enable a correct operation of this
device, it is necessary to screw the
counter-magnet (6) (steel disk +
rubber ring) into the inner side of
the door.
Its position must correspond to the
magnet (4) on the appliance (see
picture D).
If the door has to be opened from left to right, invert the position of the
plates (7), the magnet (4) and the plate (5) (Fig. B and E). Mou\
nt the coun-
termagnet (6) and the hinges (1) as previously described.
Important:the plastic screw (8) should  neverbe loosened (Fig. B and E).

Recommendations regarding the construction and fitting of
a base when the installation requires an integrated appliance
to be raised
Where the appliance has been raised by mounting onto a wooden base pro-
vided by the installer. The material used to construct the base should have a
non slip surface, be water repellent and if possible be one solid piece.
If it is not possible to
use one solid piece, due
to the additional height
required, ensure that
any additional strips of
timber are glued and
screwed to the under-
side of the base (see Fig.
F).
Position the base into
the recess with its front
edge as far forward as
the adjoining plinth line
will allow. The reason
for placing the base in
this position is to allow
a small strip of bead-
ing to be fitted in
front of the appliance
feet.
Fix the base firmly to the
floor using four appropriate
countersunk screws 
(see Fig. H).

With the appliance installed adjust all four feet ensuring the machine i\
s
stable, and a clearance of approximately 5 mm is left between the top of
the machine and the underside of the worktop.
A final check for stability should be carried out with the machine on sp\
in with
a load, this will identify the need for any further fine adjustment to t\
he feet.
A strip of beading approximately 605 mm W, x 5 mm H, x 25 mm D must be
screwed down into the base directly in front of the machine’s feet, this will
provide additional security.
If required an additional door magnet, part number 1242394-00/3 and disc,
part number 1242393-00/5 are available from spare parts.59
