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 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 appliance. As the drain outlet is raised beyond 66" (168 cm), the drain function will be increasingly affected during washing or drying.
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.

If the drain hose is extended more than 4 inches (10 cm) beyond the end of the elbow bracket, mold or microorganisms could spread to the inside of the washer.Insert the end of the drain hose into the standpipe.
