7 DRAIN HOSE
Drain hose placement in a stand pipe or tub
1
To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe the hose guide must be fitted to the drain hose.
The height of the standpipe or tub should be between 800 – 1200mm.
2
Secure the hose guide so it cannot become dislodged from the standpipe or tub.
IMPORTANT!
If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the standpipe or tub is less than 800mm high, the
washing machine will continuously drain while being filled (siphon).
Regularly check that your standpipe or tub is free from lint or other obstructions, which may
affect how your machine works or may cause flooding.
6 INLET HOSES
1
Connect the straight ends of the inlet hoses to the taps and the elbow ends to the
corresponding machine inlet valves. The hot valve is colour coded orange to make this easier.
Tighten the inlet hose ends by hand until the hose seal makes contact with the tap sealing face
and then tighten a further half-turn. Make sure there are no kinks in the hoses.
2
Turn the taps on and check for leaks. Check for leaks again after 24hours.
