•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.
electrolux 9
•Directly to a built-in drain pipe in the room wall.
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 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.
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your Local Centre.
