be followed exactly.

water. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER LUBRICANT.

2. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.
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
"Alternate Parts."
