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 cove-
red 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 blan-
king 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 t o a heigh t of
1 metre, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.
Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and dama-
ge to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1 metre a conversion kit can be obtained. Ple-
ase contact Service Force Centre.
