Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface
on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only hoses produced by this manufacturer may be used as extensions.
(Max. 3 m laid across the floor and then up to 80 cm vertically). Cus-
tomer service carries outlet hoses of varying lengths.
Draining water into a siphon
Secure the spout/siphon joint with a
hose clamp (obtainable from spe-
cialist shops).
Draining water into a basin/bathtub
1 Important:
– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter can overflow.
– The end of the drain hose must
not be in the water which has
been pumped out. Water may oth-
erwise be sucked back into the ap-
pliance.
– When draining water into a basin
or a bathtub secure the drain hose
with the supplied elbow to stop it
slipping. Otherwise the water run-
ning 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 surface on which the appliance is installed.
Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and dam-
age to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.
Please contact Customer Service.
