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.
• 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
drain hose more than 6 feet, as
this will cause poor draining
resulting 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 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.
• Extending the drain hose more than 4 inches past the end
of the elbow bracket can cause mold or microorganisms to
spread to the inside of the washer.
