Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage. ••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 (0.7 m) or higher than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the bottom of the washer or more than 60 inches (1.5 m) away from the washer. ••Never create an airtight seal between the hose and the drain with tape or other means.
