WARNING
• The drain hose should always be properly
secured. Failure to properly secure the drain
hose can result in flooding and property
damage.
NOTE
• 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.
• The end of the drain hose should be located a
minimum of 24" (61 cm) and a maximum of 96"
(244 cm) above the bottom of the washer. For
best results, locate the end of the drain hose no
higher than 66" (168 cm) above the bottom of
the washer. As the drain outlet is raised beyond
66" (168 cm), the drain function will be
increasingly affected.
• If you are experiencing backflow or residual
water in the dryer reservoir, try reducing the
height of the dryer drain hose end to lower than
38" above the base of 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
drum resulting in poor wash/rinse performance
or clothing damage.
