2. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
Rotate hook to eliminate kinks.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should
be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
For use with floor drain
Do not install the drain hose form onto the corrugated drain hose.
You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under "Tools and
Parts."

If you are working in a closet or recessed area
Move the washer/dryer into its final location and remove
cardboard from under washer/dryer. Remove the access panel by
removing 3 Phillips-head screws and one bumper, located at the
top of the access panel. Set panel, screw, and bumper aside.
Complete hookup of water hoses. Replace access panel upon
completion of washer/dryer installation.
Check for leaks
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount
of water might enter the washer. You will drain this water later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates for
future reference.
If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the
remaining water inlet port.
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found.
The apparatus must be connected to the water faucets using
the new hoses. Do not use old hoses.
