the tap (¾") and to the valve on the appliance.

2. Carefully turn on the taps and check

that there are no leaks.

Note: The threaded connection is

subject to high water pressures.

Water drainage

Caution! Water damage

When water is being pumped away, the drain hose is under high water pressure and may slip out of the wash basin or connection point. Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.

2. Carefully turn on the taps and check

that there are no leaks.

Notes

– The threaded connection is

subject to high water pressures.

– Both hoses must be connected in

order for the appliance to work correctly.

Caution! Damage to the appliance/laundry

■ The wash basin outlet is not blocked,

■ The end of the drain hose is not

immersed in the drained water,

■ The water drains away quickly

enough.

en Installing and connecting the appliance

to a waste pipe or hang it in a wash basin.

Note: The height difference between

the surface on which the appliance is installed and the drain pipe must be between 86 and 100 cm or 120 cm, depending on the product variant.~ Page 5

– For models without a pump,

secure it in a floor drain.

Notes

– The height difference between

the surface on which the appliance is installed and the water drain hose should be no more than 15 cm.

– If you extend the drain hose, its

total length should be no more than 3 m. Otherwise, the water will not be able to drain away properly.
