							Positioning and levelling
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 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 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.
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.
Automatic foot:The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing machine is
built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance gives in the back left-
hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot guarantees that the appliance
does not move even at high spin speeds. Basically the automatic foot does not
need to be set.
Water inlet
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the
water supply.
This appliance must be connected to a cold
water supply.
1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2.Connect the hose with the angled connection to
the machine.
46Installation

							Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle
the hose to the left or right depending on the
position of your water tap.
3.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.
4.Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with the appliance. 
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish
to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.
Water-stop device
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 Centre to replace the hose.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently
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 approximately
38mm thus ensuring there is an air
break between the drain hose and
standpipe.

							When discharging into a standpipe
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 extended 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.
If your drain hose looks like this (see the relevant
pcture) you do not require the “U” piece”. Just push
the hose firmly into the standpipe.
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 Centre. The join-
ing 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 reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.

							In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dishwashers
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 appliances are
not connected to the surface water
drainage system as this water is dis-
charged directly into a river or stream
and may cause pollution.
If you require any further advice please
contact your local water authority.
Electrical connection
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or
injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must
be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.
The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent the hazard of shocks in case it
should be plugged into a 13 Amp socket in another part of your home.
Important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live

							If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appli-
ance 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 BS1363 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/carrier is indi-
cated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.
A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local AEG/ELECTROLUX
Service Centre.
The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the
machine.
Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this MUST
be carried out by a Service Centre. 
Permanent connection
In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double 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 must be performed by a qualified electrician.
