A. Hooked end
B. Drain hose
Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
Rotate hook to eliminate kinks in the hose.
To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
Do not straighten hooked end of drain hose. Do not force
excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure,
but loose enough to provide a gap of air.
Do not lay excess drain hose in bottom of laundry tub.
• For floor drain installation, see kit number required under
"Tools and Parts."

dates for future reference.
• If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the
remaining water inlet port.
• Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
