Electrolux 1600 manual Water Drainage

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 AEG Service Force Cen- tre.

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.

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 appli- ance.
