Connecting to the drain
The end of the drain hose must be directly

connected to the wastewater drain or to
the washbasin.
Warning: Flooding will occur if the
hose comes out of its housing
during water discharge. There is
risk of scalding due to high
washing temperatures! To prevent
this and to ensure smooth water
intake and discharge of the
machine, secure the end of the
discharge hose tightly so that it
cannot dislodge easily.
The hose should be attached to a height

of at least 65 cm, and 100 cm at most.
In case the hose is elevated after laying it

on the floor level or close to the ground
(less than 65 cm above the ground), water
discharge becomes more difficult and the
laundry may come out excessively wet.
Therefore follow the heights as per the
following figure.
To prevent flow of dirty water back into

the machine and to allow for easy
discharge, do not immerse the hose end
into the dirty water or do not push it in the
drain by more than 15 cm. If it is too long,
cut it shorter.
The end of the hose should not be bent, it

should not be stepped on and the hose
must not be pinched between the drain
and the machine.
If the length of the hose is too short, use it

by adding an original extension hose.
Length of the hose may not be longer
than 3.2 m. To avoid water leakage, the
connection between the extension hose
and the drain hose of the machine must
be properly fitted with an appropriate
clamp so as not to come off and leak.
