Waste/drain
The appliance has two drain hoses: one for the drip tray and one for the machine itself. These semi-
flexible hoses have an external diameter of 20 mm (inner diameter: 16 mm). The hoses must slope
downwards all the way from machine to waste to prevent clogging. The waste at the location should
have a minimum inside diameter of 38 mm to accommodate for the two hoses and incorporate a
water-lock to prevent smelly odours.
1. Position the stainless steel hose clamp on one end of the discharge hose. Slide the end of the
hose over the machines waste-pipe (see Figure 13) and tighten the hose clamp.
2. Do the same with the discharge hose of the drip-tray.
3. Insert the other ends of the discharge hoses into the drain or a discharge container.
4. If necessary, cut the discharge hoses to desired length.

on the drip dray.
Notes!
To prevent sedimentation of sludge, the discharge hoses should slope down to your drain or discharge
container over the entire length of the hoses.
Prevent leading the discharge hoses over a sharp corner to prevent possible pinching of the hoses
over time. A pinched hose may lead to overflowing drip tray or possible water spill inside the machine
(out of the discharge aerator).
Figure 14. Left: Not OK, hose slopes upwards in between machine and drain. Centre: not OK, Hose
makes a sharp bend and will eventually get pinched when (hot) water runs through. Right: OK, hose
slopes down from machine to drain, without sharp bends.
