14 INSTALLATION
Connecting the Drain Hose
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.
