1. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
2. 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.
CONNECTING TO THE DRAIN
• The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
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.
