Installation
Risers
Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the
pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The
risers are more efficient when installed as close as
possible to the water supply faucets. Refer to Figure 5.

Step 4: Connect Drain Hose to Drain
Receptacle
Drain Facilities
IMPORTANT: The drain hose installation is a very
important factor in the washer installation. If care
is not taken when the drain hose is installed, a
siphoning action can be started which will cause
water to be siphoned from the washer during the
cycle.
End of drain hose should never be in water as
siphoning action can be started that will cause
water to be siphoned back into the washer.
The curved end of drain hose MUST be installed
even with or above the height of the cabinet top of
the washer to prevent siphoning. Refer to Figure 6.

STANDPIPE

(36 in.)
1 Drain Hose
2 Standpipe
Figure 6
The standpipe or drain receptacle must be capable of
handling a minimum of 3.8 cm (1-1/2 inches) outside
diameter drain hose. The drain hose should fit loose
within the standpipe (it should not be snug fit). Never
install the drain hose into a "sealed" drain system as
air cannot escape and will restrict the water from being
drained from the washer. A sealed drain system may
also allow water to be pumped back into the washer
during agitation. Both of these conditions may result
in flooding of the washer.
Remove the drain hose from its shipping position on
the rear of the washer by unhooking the hose from the
retainer clamp.
