Attention

Installation of drain hose

1. Without pump: The hose should be
less than 10cm, or it can not drain
completely.

2. With pump: Hang the drain hose (with
hook) over a drain outlet (a drain pipe,
bath or sink) not higler 1.2 metres
above floor level (up drain).

The factory installation position of the drain hose is shown in Figure 1.

Change the direction of the drain hose

The hose protrudes out from washing side. Lay down the machine on the soft
object with its face towards the ground. Take the hose out from the fixing
groove. (Figure 2).

Drain hose

Insert the hose in the groove by hand, do not destroy the hose.

It had better put the outlet of the drain hose into the nearby drainage
permanently, which can save the trouble that the drain hose has to be
connected each time before use. If the drainage is far from the washing
machine, it can be solved by connection of the drain hoses head with end to
extend.

Drain faults will be caused when the drain hose is blocked.

No trampling on or pressing the hose.

safety of use of electricity.

3. No connection of the grounding wire with the neutral wire, otherwise the
cabinet will be charged, which is likely to cause the danger of electric
shock.
