CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
y The drain hose should always be properly secured.
Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in
flooding and property damage.
y The drain must be installed in accordance with any
applicable local codes and regulations.
y Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
OPTION 1: STANDPIPE
Bend the outlet end of the drain hose to form a U
shape. Insert the end of the drain hose into the drain.
If the drain is large enough for the flange on the hose
to fit inside, then do not insert the flange more than
1-2 inches into the drain. Use the tie strap included
with the installation materials in the foam block in
the tub to secure the drain hose to the drain.
If the water valves and drain are built into the wall,

NOTE:
y Normal height of the end of the hose should be ap-
proximately 35"~47" (0.9~1.2 m) from the floor.
y Do not install the end of the drain hose lower than
29 in. (73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm)
above the bottom of the washer or more than 60
in. (152.4 cm) away from the washer.

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.
