2. Put “hook” end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
3. Estimate the length of drain hose needed when washer is in

If drain hose is too long,
cut straight end of hose.
(Do not cut the “hook”
shaped end of the drain
hose.)
NOTE: Do not force
excess length of drain
hose down the
standpipe. This could
cause siphoning.

slide clamp over drain
hose. Check for good fit.
