AEG 76760 manual Prepare the installation place, Installation on a concrete base

Installation and connection instructions

Prepare the installation place

•The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor polish residues and other greasy coatings so that the unit does not slip away. Do not use lubricants as a sliding aid.

•Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is then no longer ensured.

•By installation surfaces with small-format tiles, lay a conventional rubber mat underneath.

•Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but rather should al- ways be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet.

•If, for space reasons, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit di- rectly next to a gas or coal-fired cooker: install a thermal insulation panel between the cooker and washing machine (85 x 57cm) which must have an aluminium film 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 hazard!

•Flexible feed and drain tubings may not be crinkled or squeezed.

Installation on a concrete base

If the unit is set up on a concrete base, for safety reasons it is essential to fit stand plates in which the washing ma- chine is adjusted. The stand plates are available from Customer Service under the spare parts number 645 425 058.

Installation on vibrating floors

Where the floor vibrates, particularly in the case of wooden beam floors with pliable boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden panel at least 15mm thick onto at least 2 floor planks. If possible, set up the unit in the corner of a room, as the wooden floor is optimally re- strained there and is therefore least likely to be subject to resonance vi- brations.
