AEG Lavamat 86950 A User Manual

							ProblemPossible cause/Solution
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out
the water.
For opening the door refer to display mes-
sage.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been re-
moved.
• Check the correct installation of the appli-
ance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the
drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not
spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has
cut in because the laundry is not evenly distrib-
uted in the drum. The laundry is redistributed
by reverse rotation of the drum. This may hap-
pen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after
some minutes, the laundry is still not evenly
distributed in the drum, the machine will not
spin.
• The laundry load is perhaps to little, add more
items, redistribute the load manually and
then select the spinning programme.
No water is visible in the drum:
Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water with-
out affecting performance.
The display shows the message «Anti-flood-
ing system has been activated. Please check
inlet/drain pipe connections» :Anti-flooding system has been activated.
• Disconnect the appliance, close the water tap
and contact the Service Force Centre
The drum light doesn’t work:Please contact your local Service Centre.

Installation instructions
Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever
has to be transported again.
1. After removing all the packaging, careful-
ly lay machine on it’s back to remove the
polystyrene base from the bottom.
2. Remove the power supply cable and the
draining hose from the hose holders on
the rear of the appliance.
Installation33
 
						

							3. Unscrew the three bolts with the key sup-
plied with the machine.
4. Slide out the relevant plastic spacers.
5. Open the porthole, take out the inlet hose
from the drum and remove the polystyr-
ene block fitted on the door seal.
34Installation
 
						

							6. Fill the smaller upper hole and the two
large ones with the corresponding plastic
plug caps supplied in the bag containing
the instruction booklet.
7. Connect the water inlet hose as described
under the paragraph «Water inlet».
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 coalburning stove, an in-
sulating 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°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.
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
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply.
Installation35
 
						

							1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet
hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled con-
nection to the machine.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards.
Angle the hose to the left or right de-
pending 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.
Installation should comply with local water
authority and building regulations require-
ments. Check the minimum water pressure
required for safe operation of the appliance in
the chapter Technical Data.
36Installation
 
						

							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 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
Centre to replace the hose.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1.
Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the
machine.
In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying.
This could be done by tying it to the tap
with a piece of string or attaching it to the
wall.
2.
In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch
must be above the trap so that the bend
is at least 60 cm above the ground.
3.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of
not less than 60 cm and not more than 90
cm.
The end of the drain hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain
pipe must be larger than the outside diameter
of the drain hose.
The drain hose must not be kinked.
Installation37
 
						

							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 Centre.
Electrical connection
Information on the electrical connection is given on the rating plate on the inner edge of
the appliance door.
Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required, also
taking into account any other appliances in use.
WARNING!
Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
WARNING!
The manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for damage or injury through
failure to comply with the above safety precaution.
WARNING!
The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the machine.
WARNING!
Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried
out by a Service Centre.
