Connecting The Drain Hose; Connect To The Power Supply - Kenmore Elite 796.3155 Series Use & Care Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE

• 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.
Option 1: Standpipe
Bend the outlet end of the drain hose to form a U shape. Inset
the end of the drain hose into the drain. If the drain is large
enough for the flange on the hose to fit inside, then do not
insert the flange more than 1-2 inches into the drain. Use the tie
strap included with the installation materials in the foam block
in the tub to secure the drain hose to the drain.
Cable Tie
If the water valves and drain are built into the wall,
fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the
cable tie (ribbed side on inside).
35"~47"
(0.9~1.2 m)
If your drain is a standpipe, fasten the drain hose to the
standpipe with the cable tie provided.
NOTE:
• Normal height of the end of the hose should be
approximately 35"~47" (0.9~1.2 m) from the floor.
• Do not install the end of the drain hose higher than 96 in.
(243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer or more than 60
in. (152.4 cm) away from the washer.
• Never seal the drain hose to the drain. If no air gap is
present, water can be siphoned out of the tub resulting in
poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.
