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 diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. When discharging into a standpipe 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 minimum, length of 30 cm (12��) from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). 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. If you intend the drain hose from the washing machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hose is not blocked. Use the plastic �U-Piece� supplied.
