Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface
on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m
laid on the floor and then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Depart-
ment stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.

Draining water into a wash basin/bath

Important!
–
Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow.
–
The end of the drain hose must
not be in the water that has been
pumped out. Otherwise water
could be sucked back into the ap-
pliance.
–
When draining into a wash basin
or a bath, secure the drain hose
with the supplied elbow to stop it
slipping. Otherwise the water run-
ning out can force the hose out of
the basin.
–
When pumping the water out,
check that the water is running
away fast enough.
Pumping heights over 1 m
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.
Warning!
If pumping height is over 1 metre, malfunctions and damage
to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.
Please contact the Customer Care Department.
