INSTALLING STACKED WASHER/DRYER

Route Drain Hose

Proper routing of the drain hose avoids damage to your floor due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.

Remove drain hose from the washer drum

1.Using locking pliers, squeeze hose clamp tabs together and insert over the end of the drain hose.

2. Slide the drain hose onto the washer connection.

3. Once the drain hose is in place, release the pliers.

4.The washer drain system can be installed using a floor drain, wall standpipe, floor standpipe, or laundry tub.

Laundry tub drain or standpipe drain

Connect the drain hose form to the corrugated drain hose.

Snap either end of the drain hose form to the drain hose at the point where the corrugation begins.

Bend drain hose over drain hose form and snap into place.

NOTE: Hose must not extend more than 1" (25 mm) past the end of the U bend.

To keep drain water from going back into the washer:

νDo not straighten the drain hose, do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.

νDo not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. See “Alternate Parts.”

Secure Drain Hose

1.Drape the power cord over the washer top.

2.Move the washer to its final location.

3.Place the drain hose
