and a maximum height of 100 cm.
•Incasethedrain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thewastewatertogobackintothemachineagainandtoensureeasydrainage,donotimmerse
the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it into the drain for more than 15 cm. If it is too
