Drainage Connections

Take care when you remove the drain hose
from the clips on the back of the machine.
All machines are tested with water before they
leave the factory so a small amount of water
may still be in the hose.
Do not remove the hooked end support from
the GREY drainage hose when using any of
the drainage methods detailed below. You
may need to reposition it as required along the
drainage hose.
For drainage into a standard work top sink,
ensure the outlet pipe has a minimum
diameter of 32 mm. If the sink is inset, the front
edge of the basin must be less than
75 mm from the front edge of the worktop, so
that the drain hose will hook securely into the
sink.
Unclip the drainage hose from the back of the
machine and hook over into the sink. Make
sure that the sink is free of any obstructions
and that the sink plug can not fall into the sink,
preventing the water from draining away
freely. Pumped out water may be very hot.
We recommend one of the following drainage
methods:
Stand pipe Fig. 1
500 mm
4 Place the drainage hose approximately
100 mm into the standpipe.
1 Make sure that the
standpipe has a
minimum diameter
of 38 mm.
2 Remove the
drainage hose from
the clips on the
back of the
machine.
3 Make sure that the
top of the standpipe
is positioned at
least 500 mm from
the floor (see
Fig.1).
Use the plumbing
indicator line label
on the back of the
machine as a
guide.
