Connect Drain Hose

Proper connection of the drain hose will help protect your floors

from damage due to water leakage. To keep the drain hose from

coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the

following instructions.

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must

be followed exactly.

For standpipe or laundry tub drain systems:

1. Check the drain hose to see that it is the proper length.

2. Install the U-shaped hose form to end of the drain hose to

create a hook-shaped end as shown.

A. Snap either end of the U-shaped hose form to the drain hose at the

point where the corrugation begins.

B. Bend drain hose over the form and snap into place.

3. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.

put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe as

shown. See illustration C.

excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure,

but loose enough to provide a gap of air.

NOTE: To avoid siphoning, do not seal the drain hose to the

standpipe.

Do not lay excess drain hose in bottom of laundry tub.

Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the

washer.
