18 INSTALLATION • Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both faucets all the way and check for leaks at both ends of the hoses. 2 Insert the hose clamp a onto the drain hose of the dryer. Connecting the Drain Hose Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub. WARNING • The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage. 3 Connect the drain hose of the dryer and secure the hose clamp. 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. • The end of the drain hose should be located a minimum of 24" (61 cm) and a maximum of 96" (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer. For best results, locate the end of the drain hose no higher than 66" (168 cm) above the bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised beyond 66" (168 cm), the drain function will be increasingly affected. • If you are experiencing backflow or residual water in the dryer reservoir, try reducing the height of the dryer drain hose end to lower than 38" above the base of 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. 4 Loosen the screw b on the stack bracket. 5 Screw in the band to secure the drain hose of the dryer onto the stacking bracket. Connecting the Drain Hose to the Dryer 1 Remove the stamped area on the middle of the bracket to make an opening for the drain hose of the dryer. 6 Use the provided tie strap c to secure the 2 drain hoses in place.
