Washing Machine Connections

Hi everyone,

I've just moved into my first rented apartment in Germany and need to buy a washing machine. However, I see only one connection (please refer to the attached picture), which I believe is for the water inlet. I'm a bit confused about how to arrange the water outlet. Should the outlet hose be placed in the toilet?

There is another unit below the inlet tap that I haven't opened yet because it's screwed shut (you can see it in the picture I took through the opening at the bottom). Could this be for the water outlet?

Also, is it okay to ask my landlord about such things, or would that be bothersome?

Thanks in advance for your help!

  1. Definitely ask your landlord/custodian about it. I suspect it’s in the lower panel. If you do hang it into a sink or anything like that make sure the hose is well secured and not angled in a way that would spray water over the edge of the bowl, the drain pump can be pretty violent
