Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or laundry tub.
The drain hose should always be properly secured. Failure to properly secure the drain hose can result in flooding and property damage.
The drain must be installed in accordance with any applicable local codes and regulations.
Make sure that the drain hose is not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.
The end of the drain hose should be located a minimum of 29.5 inches (75 cm) and a maximum of 96 inches (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer.
For best results, locate the end of the drain hose no higher than 66 inches (168 cm) above the bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised beyond 66 inches (168 cm), the drain function will be increasingly affected.
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 tub resulting in poor wash/rinse performance or clothing damage.
Using a Standpipe to Drain

Doing so can cause siphoning, odors, or improper draining.If the drain is large enough for the flange on the hose to fit inside, then do not insert the flange more than 1 - 2 inches into the drain.
