Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This hose is designed for appliances with an outlet diameter ranging from 19 mm to 22 mm. Please verify your appliance's drain outlet size before purchasing. It is compatible with most standard UK washing machines and dishwashers.
Setup:
- Ensure the appliance is unplugged from the power source.
- Disconnect the old drain hose, if applicable.
- Attach one of the secure clips to the appliance's drain outlet.
- Push the rubberised fitting of the new SolaDirect drain hose onto the outlet until it is snug.
- Secure the connection with the clip(s), ensuring a tight seal.
- Use the provided hose bracket to direct the hose into your standpipe or sink drain, ensuring it is positioned correctly to prevent siphoning.
- Plug the appliance back in and run a short test cycle to check for leaks.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage.
- Ensure the connection points remain clean and free of debris for a secure fit.
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could restrict water flow or stress the hose material.
- Clean the exterior of the hose with a damp cloth as needed. Do not use harsh chemicals.
