3. Open the taps completely after making the hose
connection to check for water leaks at the connection
points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the
nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To
prevent water leakages and damages caused by them,
keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.
2.5 Connecting to the drain
• The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to
the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.
A
warning
: Your house will be flooded if the hose comes
out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there
is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures!
To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water
intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the
discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.
• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40
cm, and 100 cm at most.
• In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor
level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the
ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the
laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow
the heights described in the figure.
• To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine
and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose
end into the dirty water or do not drive it in the drain more
than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.
• The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be
stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between
the drain and the machine.
• If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding
an original extension hose. Length of the hose may
not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures,
the connection between the extension hose and the
drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an
appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.
