Connect Drain Hose
Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from
damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these
instructions.
The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside
the washer cabinet.

top of the hose. Continue to pull the hose until the end emerges.
