5. Insert the end of the drain hose into the drain channel.
■
Do not allow the drain hose to be bent, twisted, pulled out and
damaged, stepped on, or crimped.
■
Spread a cloth on the ground before laying the washing machine down
on its back to prevent damaging it.
■
Use a knife to cut the end of the drain hose at a 45 degree angle
because if the drain channel is shallow and the end of the drain hose is
blocked, it could cause a malfunction.
■
Keep the top of the drain hose no more than 10 cm above the fl oor if it
crosses a door sill or something else. If it is higher than this, the water
has dif
fi culty draining and a “C2” error (water does not drain) may
occur.
■
Do not extend the drain hose more than 2 meters from the washing
machine.
