A drain hose extension kit is
available if the drain hose is not
long enough. Do not extend
drain hose more than 6 feet, as
this will cause poor draining
resulting in poor wash and spin
performance.
• The drain hose should always be properly secured.
Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in
flooding and property damage.
• Do not install the end of the drain hose higher than 96 in.
(243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer.
• The drain must be installed in accordance with any
applicable local codes and regulations.
• Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched,
crushed, or kinked.
Install the end of the drain hose into the elbow bracket. Do
not extend the drain hose more than 4 inches past the end
of the elbow bracket. Use tie strap to secure the drain hose
in place.

(243.8 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
• The drain hose should be inserted no more than 8–12
inches into the standpipe.
