Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the
height of the surface on which the appliance is in-
stalled and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only hoses produced by this manufacturer may be
used as extensions. (max. 3 m laid on the floor and
then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Depart-
ment carries outlet hoses of varying lengths.
Draining water through a spigot
Secure the spout/spigot connection with a hose
clamp (obtainable from specialist shops).
Draining water into a basin/bathtub
1 Important:
– Small basins are not suitable. Water can overflow.
– The end of the drain hose must not dip into the wa-
ter which has been pumped out. Water may other-
wise be sucked back into the appliance.
– When draining water into a basin or a bathtub se-
cure the drain hose with the supplied elbow to stop
it slipping. Otherwise the water running out can
force the hose out of the basin.
– When pumping the water out, check that the water
is running away fast enough.
Pumping heights of over 1 metre
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump
water to a height of 1metre, calculated from the sur-
face on which the appliance is installed.
Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre, mal-
functions and damage to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit
can be obtained. Please contact the Customer Care
Department.
