Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Floor drain

Do not install the drain hose form on to the corrugated drain hose. You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and Parts.”

1.Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
