Connecting the Drain Hose
Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry
tub.
• 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.
• Do not install the drain hose with the end lower than
29.5 inches (75 cm) or higher than 96 inches (244 cm)
above the bottom of the washer or more than 60
inches (152 cm) 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 drum resulting in poor
wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.
Using a Standpipe to Drain
1 Clip the end of the hose into the elbow bracket.
• Connect the elbow bracket a within 4 inches (10
cm) of the end of the drain hose. If the drain hose
is extended more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond
the end of the elbow bracket, mold or
microorganisms could spread to the inside of the
washer.
