System...
●
Do not remove hooked end support from drainage hose.
●
Do not position standpipe near an electrical outlet.
●
For drainage into a standard work top sink ensure outlet pipe has a
minimum bore of 32 mm. To avoid syphoning ensure the end of the
drainage hose is above the water level in the sink. If your sink is inset, the
front edge of the basin must be less than 75 mm from the front edge of
your work top.

Fig 3
Fig 4 - Before
500 mm
Fig 4a - After
Fig 2
We recommend one of the following
drainage methods:-
Standpipe
Note: Ensure the standpipe has a
minimum diameter of 38 mm.
1. Ensure top of standpipe is positioned
at least 500 mm from the floor (Fig 1).
2. Untie the end of the GREY drainage
hose from the rear of the appliance
and place approximately 100 mm into
the standpipe.
3. If the end of GREY drainage hose is
fitted with ‘Retaining Flaps’, ensure
that they are fully inserted into the
standpipe as shown (Fig 2).
Sink Waste System
Note: Ensure the sink outlet pipe has a
minimum diameter of 32 mm.
1. Untie the end of the GREY drainage
from the rear of the appliance.
2. Reposition ‘Hooked End Support’ as
required along GREY drainage hose.
3. If fitting an under sink waste disposal
unit (Fig 3), cut out the membrane,
bung or blanking plug (Fig 4 and 4a).
4. Attach the GREY drainage hose to
the under sink waste disposal unit
securely, using a Jubilee clip.
5. Raise the hose to a minimum height
of 800 mm to avoid syphoning.
