3.5 Connecting to the drain
• The end of the drain hose must be directl y
connected to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
WARNING: Your house will be flooded if
the hose comes out of its housing during
water discharge. Moreover, there is risk
of scalding due to high washing
temperatures! To prevent such situations
and to ensure smooth water intake and
discharge of the machine, fix the end
of the discharge hose tightly so that it
cannot come out.
• The hose should be attached to a height of a t
least 60 cm, and 90 cm at most.
• In case the hose is elevated after laying it on
the floor level or close to the ground (less than
60 cm above the ground), water discharge
becomes more difficult and the laundry ma y
come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the
heights described in the figure.
• To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the
machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not
immerse the hose end into the dirty water or do
not drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is
too long, cut it short.
• The end of the hose should not be bent, it
should not be stepped on and the hose must
not be pinched between the drain and the
machine.
• If the length of the hose is too short, use it b y
adding an original extension hose. Length of the
hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid
water leak failures, the connection between
the extension hose and the drain hose of the product
must be fitted well with an a ppropriate clamp as not
to come off and leak.
