Draining to a Standpipe
If you have a standpipe, the recommended height of the standpipe is 39 in / 99 cm. The drain
hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe. The standpipe must be large
enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose. You can also drain the washer into a
wash basin or laundry tub. The drain hose is attached to the washer at the factory.

Flooring

For best performance, you must install your washer on a solidly constructed floor. Wood floors
may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced load situations. Carpeting
and soft tile surfaces are contributing factors to vibration which can cause your washer to move
slightly during the spin cycle.
Never install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water may freeze, since your washer will always retain
some water in its water valve, pump, and hose areas. Frozen water can damage the belts, the
pump, hoses, and other components.
