The machine manual will tell you if it can handle that.

The manual does say i can extend by a meter but i was wanting to know if running part of it at floor leval is ok,

Yes floor level will be ok. Make sure at the end it goes up a metre to stop syphoning.

No given height for outlet, just has to pass higher than pipe drainage it's connected to, it prevents siphoning.
