brace, grasp bottom of brace, and
pull up to remove.
SECURE DRAIN
HOSE TO DRAIN
Remove drain hose from shipping
position on rear of washer by
unhooking hose from retainer
clamp. Use beaded tie-down
strap to secure “hook” end of drain
hose to standpipe, wall inlet hoses,
or laundry tub (must hold at least 20
gallons).
IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning,

hose into standpipe. Avoid air-tight
seal around standpipe adapter.
For standpipe installation below 36"

part #562P3.
For standpipe installation above 48"
(121.2 cm), install a check valve to
