ConnecttheDrainHose

Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. To keep the drain hose from coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the following instructions:

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must be followed exactly.

1.Check the drain hose to see whether it is the proper length.

2.Wet the inside of the straight end of the drain hose with tap water.

IMPORTANT: Do not use any lubricant other than water.

3.Squeeze ears of the silver double-wire clamp with pliers to open. Place clamp over the straight end of the drain hose ¼" (6.4 mm) from the end.

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.
