AEG 7200 manual Prepare the Installation Location, Setting Up on a Concrete Pedestal

Setting up and connection instructions

Prepare the Installation Location

•The installation surface must be clean, dry and free of floor wax resi- due and other lubricating coatings so that the unit does not slide away. Do not use any lubricants as sliding aids.

•It is not recommended to set up the washing machine on deep-pile carpets or on floor coverings with soft foam underlays, as this would mean that the stability of the unit would not be guaranteed.

•Use ordinary rubber mats as underlays in locations with small-format tiles.

•Never use wood, card or similar underlays to compensate for minor floor unevenness. Always use the adjustable screw-type feet of the machine.

•If, for reasons of space, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit next to a gas cooker or coal stove: Insert a thermally-insulating panel between the washing machine and the cooker (85 x 57cm). This panel must have an aluminium foil on the side against the cooker.

•The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there

is a danger of frost. Frost damage!

•The intake and drainage hoses must not be bent or pinched.

Setting Up on a Concrete Pedestal

When setting up the washing machine on a concrete pedestal, it is essential for safety reasons to fit stand plates in which the washing machine is then adjusted. The stand plates are available from the Customer Service under spare part number 645 425 058.

Setting Up on a Vibrating floor

In the case of vibrating floors, especially wooden beam floors with flex- ible boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden panel at least 15mm thick onto at least 2 of the floor beams. If possible, set up the unit in a corner of the room where the wooden floor is best firmly in- stalled and is therefore least likely to be susceptible to vibrations.
