1.Feed end of drain hose into one end of form. Place end of drain hose form into the drain hose relief.

2.Bend the hose over the top of the form and feed into the other end of the form.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

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.”

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

Clear the water lines

2.Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
