Water drainage
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty
into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that
the plug hole is not blocked.
If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the
end of the hose into a standpipe installed for the
purpose. The standpipe must have an internal diameter
of at least 40 mm (1 1/2”) in order that there is an air
gap between the drain hose and the standpipe. Make
sure, that it is designed in such a way, that the end of
the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
Important
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or
to pipework that has not been used for some time, run
off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any
debris that may have collected in the pipes.
Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe check
that the end of the drain hose is neither too high not too
low. The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no
more than 800 mm (31.5”), and no less than 450 mm
(17.8”) above floor level.
Power supply
The washing machine is supplied with a lead and
electrical plug for connection to a 240 V, 13 A earthed wall
socket.
