end of the drain hos
e must be at least 20" (50 cm) above
the base of the machine. Entry into sink drain system
must be above trap. When routing the
drain hose through
cabinets or walls assure no ruff or sharp edges can
da
m
age the drain hose. All sharp edges
MUST
be co
v-
ered by a protective material such as electrical or duct
tape. Use a drain hose clamp to secure drain hose to
