Installation 3.5 Connecting to the drain • The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin. • Drain hose shall be attached to a wall drain, stand pipe or sink siphon connected to the foul water drain, do not connect to surface water drains. A warning: Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out. • The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most. • In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure. • If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak. 3.6 Adjusting the feet A warning: In order to ensure that the product operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems. 1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand. 2. Adjust the feet until the product stands level and balanced. 100cm 40cm 3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand. • To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or do not drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short. • The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine. A warning: Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged. 12 / EN Washing Machine / User's Manual
