guide to the water tap or to the wall.
Make sure that the plastic
guide cannot move when
the appliance drains.
Make sure that the drain
hose end is not immersed in
the water. There may be a
return of dirty water into the

Insert the drain hose directly into a
drain pipe. Refer to the illustration.
The end of the drain hose
must always be ventilated ,
i.e. the inner diameter of the
drain pipe (min. 38 mm -
min. 1.5) must be larger than
the external diameter of the
drain hose.
4. If the end of the drain hose looks like
this (see the picture), you can push it
directly into the stand pipe.
5. Without the plastic hose guide: Put
the drain hose in the spigot and
tighten it with a clip. Refer to the
illustration.

Make sure that the drain
hose makes a loop to
prevent particles going into
the appliance from the sink.
6. Position the hose directly to a built-in
drain pipe in the room wall and
tighten it with a clip.
You can extend the drain hose to
maximum 400 cm. Contact the
authorized service centre for the other
