INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE

• The drain hose should always be properly secured.
Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in
fl ooding and property damage.
• Do not install the end of the drain hose higher than 96
in. (243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer.
• 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.
NOTE:
A drain hose extension kit is
available if the drain hose is not
long enough. Do not extend the
drain hose more than 6 feet, as
this will cause poor draining,
which will result in poor wash
and spin performance.
Option 1: Standpipe
Install the end of the drain hose into the elbow bracket.
Do not extend the drain hose more than 4 inches past the
end of the elbow bracket. Use a tie strap to secure the
drain hose in place.
NOTE:
• Total height of the hose end should not exceed 96 in.
(243.8 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
• The drain hose should be inserted no more than 8–12
inches into the standpipe. Inserting more than 8-12
inches can cause mold or microorganisms to spread to
the inside of the washer.
If the water valves and drain are built
into the wall, fasten the drain hose
to one of the water hoses with the tie
strap (ribbed side on inside).
