Drain Installation Guide
Drain Tools Needed:
- Adjustable wrench
- Drain hose clamps
- Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)

- Bucket for water collection
Step-by-Step Drain Installation
- Drain Hose Connection: Connect the drain hose to the washing machine's drain outlet using the provided clamp.
- Drain Location Selection: Choose a proper drain location - standpipe, laundry sink, or floor drain with adequate capacity.
- High Loop Creation: Create a high loop in the drain hose to prevent backflow and siphoning of water.
- Secure Drain Hose: Secure the drain hose in place using hose clips or brackets to prevent disconnection during operation.
- Check Drain Height: Ensure drain height is between 60-100 cm from the floor for optimal drainage performance.
- Test Drain Function: Run a quick drain cycle to check for proper water flow and no leaks.
- Final Inspection: Verify all connections are tight and the drain hose is properly routed without kinks.
