Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed into your home's drainage system using one of the following methods.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using the “U” piece” supplied.

Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.

When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.

The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.
If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly into the standpipe.

2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.
