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 original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A
maximum of 3 m laid on the floor and then 80 cm
vertically). The Customer Care Department stocks
outlet hoses of different lengths.
Draining water into a sink outlet
Secure the outlet/sink outlet joint with a hose band
clip (available from your dealer).
Draining water into a wash basin/bath
1 Important!
– Small basins are not suitable. Water may overflow.
– The end of the drain hose must not be in the water
that has been pumped out. Otherwise water could
be sucked back into the appliance.
– When draining into a wash basin or a bath, secure
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 over 1 m
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump
water to a height of 1meter, calculated from the sur-
face on which the appliance is installed.
Warning! If pumping height is over 1 metre, malfunc-
tions and damage to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit
can be obtained. Please contact the Customer Care
Department.
