^ Close the water inlet port above the condensed water container with the bottom part of the rubber plug. The plug must face towards the interior of the machine so that the condensed water container can be easily inserted. ^ Attach the elbow to the hose and secure it to the sink or into the drain pipe. If room is available, it can be inserted into the stand pipe used by the washing machine. The water will now be drained automatically and the container will not need to be emptied.
