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.

Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks. 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 el-

bow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is de- signed in such a way that the end of the drain hose cannot be cov- ered with water.

Longer drain hoses are available in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres

from your Service Force Centre.

For drainage into an outlet

spigot: If the outlet spigot has not

been used before, remove any blank-

ing plug that may be in place. Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required. Ensure the drain hose is looped upwards to prevent waste water from the sink

entering the washing machine.

Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the pumped-out water. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the appliance.

Pumping heights of over 1 metre

The washing machine???s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of 1metre, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed. Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and dam- age to the appliance may arise.

For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained. Please contact Service Force Centre.
