front-adjustable feet and two back fixed feet.
The appliance MUST be level and stable on
a flat hard floor. If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level. Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.

and displacement of the appliance during
operation.
Repeat the levelling action, if the appliance
is not level and stable.

• After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to
tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
Water drainage
Form a hook at the end of the drain hose using the plastic hose guide, if necessary.
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in four ways:
• Hooked over the edge of a sink using
the plastic hose guide.
Tie the plastic hose guide to the tap with
a string to prevent that the drain hose unhooks when the appliance is emptying.
• Onto a sink outlet spigot.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and
secure with a clip, ensure a loop is
formed in the drain hose to prevent
waste from the sink entering the appliance.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may
be in place.
• Directly into a drain pipe at a height
of not less than 60 cm and not more than
electrolux 9
100 cm. The end of the drain hose must
always be ventilated , i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger
than the outside diameter of the drain
hose. The drain hose must not be kinked.
• Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the
room wall.
The drain hose may be extended to a
maximum of 4 metres. An additional
