3. Set the hose correctly by loosening the
ring nut. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to
prevent leaks.
The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is
too short and you do not wish to move the
tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer
hose specially designed for this type of use.
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.
Water drainage
The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in three ways.
•
Hooked over the edge of a sink
using
the plastic hose guide supplied with the
machine. In this case, make sure the end
cannot come unhooked when the ma-
chine is emptying. This could be done by
tying it to the tap with a piece of string or
attaching it to the wall.
•
In a sink drain pipe branch.
This branch
must be above the trap so that the bend is
at least 60 cm above the ground.
•
Directly into a drain pipe
at a height of
not less than 60 cm and not more than 90
cm. The end of the drain hose must always
be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the
drain pipe must be larger than the outside
diameter of the drain hose. The drain hose
must not be kinked.
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 Centre.
