Level The Washer - Maytag MAT14PRAWW Installation Instructions Manual

Connect the drain hose
NOTE: Slide washer onto cardboard or hardboard before
moving across floor.
1. Move washer close to final position.
2. Put "hook" end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.
3. Estimate the length of drain hose needed when washer is in
final position. Hose must be cut exactly to length so "hook"
end is held tightly over edge of standpipe.
If drain hose is too long, cut straight end of hose. (Do not cut
the "hook" shaped end of the drain hose.)
NOTE: Do not force excess length of drain hose down the
standpipe. This could cause siphoning.
4. Place the hose clamp over the washer drain connector. Push
the drain hose onto the washer connector. Use pliers to open
clamp and slide clamp over drain hose. Check for good fit.
5. Measure and mark a point approximately 16" (406 mm)
from the plug end of the shipping strap. Cut shipping strap at
this point.

6. Check that hose is not twisted or kinked and is securely in
place.
Put "hook" end of drain hose into standpipe. Tightly wrap the
shipping strap around the standpipe. Push plug into the
nearest hole in the shipping strap.
Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets
1. Before attaching water inlet hoses to the water faucets, run
water through both faucets into a bucket. This will get rid of
particles in water lines that might clog hoses. Mark which is
the hot water faucet.

Tighten coupling to faucet by hand.
