Drainage
Fit the U-piece on the
drainage hose. Place
everything in a drainage
point (or in a sink) at a
height of between 70
and 100 cm. Ensure it is
positioned securely. Air
must be able to enter
the end of the hose, to
avoid any risk of siphon-
ing.
The drain hose must never be stretched. If it is too
short, contact an engineer.

This washing machine must only be connected in
single-phased 230 V. Check the fuse size: 13 A for
230 V. The appliance must not be connected with

MAXI 100 cm
an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor. Ensure
that the plug is earthed and that it is in accordance
with current regulations.
Positioning

a ventilated location. Ensure the appliance does
not come into contact with the wall or other furni-
ture. Accurate levelling avoids vibrations, noise
and prevents the appliance from moving when
