If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose.
It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.
Syphon Connection
The waste connection must be at a height of between 40cm (minimum) and 100cm (maximum) from the
bottom of the dishwasher. The water drain hose should be xed by a hose clip.
