Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre. Only original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m laid on the floor and then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Depart- ment stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.
Draining water into a sink outlet Secure the outlet/sink outlet joint with a hose band clip (available from your dealer).
Draining water into a wash basin/bath
1Important!
– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow.
– The end of the drain hose must not be in the water that has been pumped out. Otherwise water could be sucked back into the ap- pliance.
–When draining into a wash basin
or a bath, secure the drain hose with the supplied elbow to stop it slipping. Otherwise the water run- ning out can force the hose out of the basin.
– When pumping the water out, check that the water is running away fast enough.
Pumping heights over 1 m
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of 1meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed. Warning! If pumping height is over 1 metre, malfunctions and damage to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained. Please contact the Customer Care Department.
