Water Drainage
The appliance drain hose should hook into a stand-
pipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the
plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe should
have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm
(see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break be-
tween the drain hose and standpipe.
Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose
without kinks.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the
top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90
cm (35.4’’) and no less than 60 cm (23.6’’) above floor
level.
The upright standpipe should have a minimum,
length of 30 cm (12’’) from the bottom of the elbow to
the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is
designed in such a way that the end of the drain
hose cannot be covered with water.
Longer drain hoses are available in lengths of 2.7
and 4 metres from your Service Force Centre.
For drainage into an outlet
spigot: If the outlet spigot has not been used before,
remove any blanking plug that may be in place. Push
the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip
if required. Ensure the drain hose is looped upwards
to prevent waste water from the sink entering the
washing machine.
Important! The end of the drainage hose must not
be submerged in the pumped-out water. Otherwise,
the water could be sucked back into the appliance.
Pumping heights of over 1 metre
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump
water to a height of 1metre, calculated from the sur-
face on which the appliance is installed.
Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre mal-
functions and damage to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit
can be obtained. Please contact Service Force Cen-
tre.
