Connecting Hoses to the Drain Hose Connector (Optional)
If the previous drainage setup is not sufficient for your circumstances, follow these steps to use the drain hose connector.
Slide the included band clamp onto the end of the drain hose of the washer.
Connect the drain hoses from the washer and dryer to the drain hose connector. Tighten the band clamp a to keep the washer hose in place.
Use the band clamp b on the short drain hose to attach it to the bottom opening of the drain hose connector.
Securely connect the short drain hose to a drain spigot, into a standpipe or laundry sink bypass pipe.
When connecting to a waste spigot, use a band clamp c on the end of the short drain hose.
Adjust the wire hose clamp to prevent the hose from coming loose or leaking. Failure to do so could result in flooding. Use of the drain hose connector helps avoid siphoning, odors, or improper draining.
Make sure the drain hoses are not kinked or pinched. This is a potential cause of drainage problems or noise.
