Proper connection of the drain hose protects your Noors from damage due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.

The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside the washer cabinet.

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.

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.

Toavoid siphoning and 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.

IMPORTANT: To avoid siphoning, no more than 8" (20.3 cm) of drain hose should be inside the standpipe. The drain hose form must be used. Secure drain hose with beaded tie strap.
