Important!
–
Small basins are not suitable. Water
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 appliance.
–
When draining into a wash basin or a
bath, secure the drain hose with the
supplied elbow to stop it slipping. Oth-
erwise the water running 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.
