Take care when you remove the drain hose from the clips on the back of the machine. All machines are tested with water before they leave the factory so a small amount of water may still be in the hose. Do not remove the hooked end support from the GREY drainage hose when using any of the drainage methods detailed below. You may need to reposition it as required along the drainage hose. For drainage into a standard work top sink, ensure the outlet pipe has a minimum diameter of 32mm. If your sink is inset, the front edge of the basin must be less than 75mm from the front edge of your worktop, so that the drain hose will hook securely into the sink. Unclip the drainage hose from the back of the machine and hook over into the sink. Make sure that the sink is free of any obstructions and that the sink plug can not fall into the sink, preventing the water from draining away freely. Pumped out water may be very hot. We recommend one of the following drainage figure 1 methods: Standpipe 1 Make sure that the standpipe has a minimum diameter of 38mm. 2 Remove the drainage hose from the clips on the back of the machine. 3 Make sure that the top of the 500 mm standpipe is positioned at least 500mm from the floor (see figure1).
