right hand hose goes to the side opening.
left hose to the top iirc.

ill have to double check to be 100% certain.

although i doesnt essentially matter as one pipe acts as a breather,

The BSH instructions contradict this, but then Phil from BSH contradicted that.  So I guess it doesn't really matter, so as above going on the last information, Left to Top, Right to side.
