Connecting the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
1.
Over the edge of a wash basin:
The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 60
and 90 cm. To keep the drain hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure
the guide to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose
from moving.
2.
ln a sink drain pipe branch:
The drain pipe branch must be above the sink siphon so that
the end of the hose is at least 60 cm above the ground.
3.
ln a drain pipe:
We recommend using a 65 cm high vertical pipe; it must be no shorter than
60 cm and no longer than 90 cm.
the standpipe drain requires;
• minimum diameter 5 cm.
• minimum carry-away capacity 60 liter per minute.
