Water discharge
These three alternatives are possible for the dis-
charge hose:
Over the top edge of a washtub:
Use this option only if you can be sure that the hose will not
move when the machine is emptying. The hose can be fixed
to the wall on a hook or tied to a tap with string (Fig. 1).
Directly into a waste pipe with a trap:
The discharge pipe can be connected directly into the pipe
(e.g. one beneath a washtub or kitchen sink), above the
water trap. The discharge hose must be arranged so that
some part of its length is routed up to a level
corresponding to the top edge of the tub, and fixed in place
there (Fig. 2).
Directly into a wall standpipe:
This standpipe should be vertical. The height above the
floor should be between 450 and 800 mm.
There must be an air gap around and below the end of the
discharge hose. This means that the internal diameter of the
standpipe must be greater than the outer diameter of the
hose (Fig. 3). The hose must not be sticked into the standpipe
more than 50 mm and it has to be fixed in this position.
The discharge hose can be extended up to total 3,5 m.
For the extension piece use a hose with an internal
diameter at least as large as that of the machine's own
hose. Use a suitable hose connector. The hose should
always be routed at floor level, rising up only where it
meets the waste pipe (Fig. 4).
Power supply
The washing machine is supplied with a lead and electrical
plug for connection to a 230 V, 10 A earthed wall socket. If
the machine is installed in a "wet area" (bathroom, laundry)
but without fixed wiring to the electrical supply, an earth
leakage circuit breaker (or RCD) must be used.
If the washing machine is to have fixed wiring to the
electrical supply, this work may only be carried out
by a qualified electrician.
