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 dia-
gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.
When discharging into a stand-
pipe 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 can-
not be covered with water.
Longer drain hoses are availa-
ble 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.
