2. Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
Rotate hook to eliminate kinks in the hose.
To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
■ Do not straighten hooked end of drain hose. Do not force
excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure,
but loose enough to provide a gap of air.
■ Do not lay excess drain hose in bottom of laundry tub.
■ For floor drain installation, see kit number required under
"Tools and Parts."
Connect the Inlet Hoses
1. Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet
hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty.
2. Attach the hose with the red coupling to the hot water faucet.
Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer.
3. Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the cold water
faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until seated on the washer.
4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-
thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.
Clear the water lines
5. Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a bucket
or laundry tub, to get rid of particles in the water lines that
might clog the inlet valve screens.

6. Attach the hose with the red coupling to the HOT (right) inlet
valve. Attaching the red coupling first makes it easier to
tighten connection with pliers. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on the washer. Using pliers, tighten the
couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.

7. Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the COLD water
(left) inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated
on the washer. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an
additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.
Check for leaks
8. Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small
amount of water might enter the washer. You will drain this
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.
