When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top
of the standpipe is no more than 90cm (35.4'') and no
less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre.
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of
18mm.
If your drain hose looks like this (see below) you do
not require the “U” piece”. Just push the hose firmly
into the standpipe.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a
clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose (see
diagram) to prevent waste from the sink entering the
washing machine.
Important
Before connecting 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.
Levelling
Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the
feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate
a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and
stable. If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, (see note on
positioning), noise and displacement of the machine
during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines should be connected to the FOUL
drainage system, the water will then be taken to a
sewage works for treatment before being discharged
safely into a river.
