Connecting the Drain Hose

Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or
laundry tub.
NOTE
• The drain hose should always be properly
secured. Failure to properly secure the drain
hose can result in flooding and property damage.
• The drain must be installed in accordance with
any applicable local codes and regulations.
• Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• Do not install the drain hose with the end lower
than 29.5 inches (75 cm) or higher than 96
inches (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer
or more than 60 inches (152 cm) away from the
washer.
• Never create an airtight seal between the hose
and the drain with tape or other means. If no air
gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the
tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or
clothing damage.
• Normal height of the end of the hose should be
approximately 35 inches (89 cm) to 47 inches
(120 cm) from the floor.
