The drain hose must be secured in a drain to prevent water draining onto the floor. Ensure
the drain hose is securely fixed in place to an appropriate drain and is leak-free at the
connection to the machine. Check the connection and drain hose regularly.

Maximum standpipe height is 1.0m from ground level.

Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint and other obstructions, which
may affect drainage and cause flooding.

The drain hose should be checked from time to time and replaced if any damage, eg wear,
cuts, bulges, kinks, leaks, etc is found. Do not bend the drain hose sharply, as this may
cause it to split.
DRAINING
The dryer is equipped with a condenser unit which accumulates water during the drying cycle.
This water is either collected in the removable water tank located at the top left of the dryer,
or you can setup your dryer to drain automatically using the drain hose provided.
We recommend the dryer is set up to drain automatically where possible especially when
drying full loads, this will avoid having to empty the water tank during a drying cycle.
In multi-storey apartments or any upper floor, the machine should be installed on
a floor equipped with a drain. Draining must comply with local by-laws.
