Remove drain hose from washer cabinet
Gently pull the corrugated drain hose out of the washer from the top of the hose. Continue to pull the hose until the end emerges. Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the washer.
Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain
Connecting the drain hose “hook” to the corrugated drain hose
AB
A. Snap either end of the drain hose “hook” to the drain hose at the point where the corrugation begins.
B. Bend drain hose over drain hose “hook” and snap into place.
To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
■Do not straighten hooked end of the drain hose and 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 “hook” on to the corrugated drain hose. You may need additional parts. See Floor Drain under “Tools and Parts.”
