Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.

Bend the outlet end of the drain hose to form a U

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.

fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with

If your drain is a standpipe, fasten the drain hose to

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

Never seal the drain hose to the drain such as

siphoned out of the tub resulting in poor wash/
rinse performance or clothing damage.
