12 INSTALLATION Connecting the Drain Hose Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub. NOTE The drain hose should always be properly secured. 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 (75 cm) or higher than 96 inches (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer or more than 60 inches (152 cm) away from 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 tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage. Normal height of the end of the hose should be approximately 35 inches (89 cm) to 47 inches (120 cm) from the floor. 3 If the water valves and drain are built into the wall, fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the tie strap provided (ribbed side on inside). 29.5 - 96 " (75 - 244 cm) Tie strap 29.5 - 96 " (75 - 244 cm) CAUTION Do not insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe more than 8 inches (20 cm). Doing so can cause siphoning, odors, or improper draining.
