Important:

C There is no pump in the machine, so

ensure that the hose is placed to allow a easy water flow.

C The end of the hose should never be

higher than the level of the water outlet on the machine. Otherwise, the “tank full” light of your machine will illuminate and stop the programme.

C If the dryer is mounted on the washing

machine by means of a bracket, use of the water drain hose is recommended. The drain hose should be directed downwards as shown in the figure.
