•A stand pipe with vent-hole. The internal di-

ameter must be minimum 4 cm.	max 85 cm
Remove the sink plug when the appliance
drains the water to prevent that the water goes	cm
back into the appliance.		min 40 cm
The drain hose extension must not be longer	400
	max
than 2 m. The internal diameter must not be
smaller than the diameter of the hose.

If you connect the water drain hose to a trap spigot under the sink, remove the plastic membrane

(A). If you do not remove the membrane, remaining food can cause a blockage in the drain hose spigot

A safety device impedes the dirty water to go back into the appliance. If, the spigot of the sink has a 'non-return valve', this can cause the appliance to drain incorrectly. Remove the non-return valve.
