Using a Standpipe to Drain
The end of the drain hose should be located a minimum of 24" (61 cm) and a maximum of 96" (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer. For best results, locate the end of the drain hose no higher than 66" (168 cm) above the bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised beyond 66" (168 cm), the drain function will be increasingly affected.
If you are experiencing backflow or residual water in the dryer reservoir, reduce the height of the dryer drain hose end to 38" or less above the base of the washer.
Never create an airtight seal between the hose and the drain with tape or other means. If no air gap is present, water can be siphoned out of the drum resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.
Clip the end of the hose for the washer into the elbow bracket.
Insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe.
Use the provided tie strap b to secure the drain hose in place.
If the water valves and drain are built into the wall, fasten the drain hose to one of the water hoses with the provided tie strap c (ribbed side on inside).
