Water Connection; Water Pressure; Inlet Hose Connection - AEG Automatic Installation And Connection Instructions

Water Connection

The washing machine is provided with safety devices preventing back-
3
contamination of the water supply and complies with local water
authority requirements.
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's
water supply.
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.

Water Pressure

The appliance is designed to operate within the following water
pressure limits:
– minimum 1 bar (14.5 p. s. i.)
– maximum 10 bar (145 p. s. i.)
IMPORTANT
• At more than 10 bar (145 p. s. i.): Install pressure-reducing valve.
• At less than 1 bar (14.5 p. s. i.): Unscrew the inlet hose from the
appliance at the inlet solenoid valve and remove the flow regulator
(to do this, remove the sieve with needle-nose pliers and remove
rubber washer behind the sieve). Replace sieve. Retain the washer for
future use.

Inlet Hose Connection

The inlet hose provided is 1.2 or 1.3 metres depending on the model. If
a longer inlet hose is required contact your AEG Service Force Centre.
Under no circumstances should hoses be connected together to provide
a longer length.
The rubber washers are either set into the inlet hose threaded
connection or supplied separately in the installation kit. These washers
must be fitted to ensure water tight seals. Do not use any other washer.
