Installing your washer
Connecting the drain hose
The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a wash basin
The drain hose must be placed at a height between 23.6 in
(60cm) and 35.4 in (90cm). To keep the drain hose spout bent,
use the supplied plastic hose guide (A). Secure the guide
to the wall with a hook or to the tap with a piece of string to
prevent the drain hose from moving.
In a standpipe or laundry tub
We recommend using a 20 in (52 cm) high vertical pipe or
laundry tub. It must be no shorter than 18 in (46 cm) and no
longer than 96 in (245 cm).
Make sure that the connection between the drain hose
and the standpipe is NOT airtight.
If drain hose is installed below 18"(46cm), water can be
drained in cycle working cause of siphon phenomenon. It
causes the washer to "nF" error.
Drain Hose can be installed until 96"(245cm) maximum.
But drain capability can be reduced at this height. It
causes the washer to have odor, because of remained
water in the drain system.
Connection the hose guide within 6"(15cm) from the end
of the drain hose. If the drain hose is extended more
than 6"(15cm) beyond the end of the hose guide, mold or
microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.
