Electrolux LAVAMAT 16810 - Manual (Page 52)

The upright standpipe should have a mini-
mum length of 30 cm (12”) from the bottom
of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see dia-
gram). Make sure that it is designed in such a
way that the end of the drain hose cannot be
covered with water.
If you intend the drain hose from the machine
to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink
is empty and the plug hole is not blocked. Use
the plastic “U -Piece” supplied.
Important
Before connecting up the machine to new
pipework or to pipework that has not been used
for some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.
In the interest of the environment
Washing machines and dish-
washers should be connected
to the FOUL drainage system,
the water will then be taken
to a sewage works for treat-
ment before being discharged
safely into a river.
It is essential that these appli-
ances are not connected to the
surface water drainage system
as this water is discharged
directly into a river or stream
and may cause pollution.
If you require any further
advice please contact your local
water authority.
