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 (0.7 m) or higher than 96 inches (2.4
m) above the bottom of the washer or more than 60
inches (1.5 m) 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.
