manually emptied. Water can also be drained
out directly to a mains drain, especially when the
dryer is stacked on top of a washing machine.
With a connecting kit for the mains drain hose,
simply change the water path and re-route to the
drainage facility as below:
1Take the connecting kit out.
2Separate the water container hose from the
kit.
3Connect the drain hose to the kit.
Leveling the appliance
