Well if you are 100% certain the hose wont even fit over the first section on the stepped fitting then I can only suggest 2 things.
Read the manual or call a plumber.
Nowell ok, the manual says fit the pipe to the connector, so RTFM isn't exactly appropriate here (i wouldn't have came here otherwise).
and getting a plumber out? so which plumbers are coming out to house visits in the current circumstances for non emergency jobs? the reason AO (where it was bought from) didn't install is because they are only delivering to the door and not doing any installations at all.

i didn't say the house won't fit over the first section, i said it doesn't fit in the "inside" part, so it is not secure in any way.
the previous machine was fitted over the fitting using pressure only - there was NO jubliee clip or anything to keep it in place.
you can get a clip online or from hardware shop Screwfix b&q tool station cut the first bit of it should be quite a snug fit the jubilee clip is to keep it secret as the pump from the machine is quite powerful and if there is back pressure could blow off and reckon the cupboardso do washing machines not have a standard sized waste pipe then?
is the assumption that the old machine pipe was a different size to the new one?
however, as i have no jubliee clips (or anything similar) it's unlikely i'll be able to secure it anyway (as per the video).
yes other the larger or smaller the smaller end bit is possibly dishwasher sizeso do washing machines not have a standard sized waste pipe then?
