To keep drain water from going back into
the washer:
•
Do not force excess drain hose into stand-
pipe. Hose should be secure but loose
enough to provide a gap for air.
•
Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of
the laundry tub.
Floor drain
Do not install the drain hose form on to the
corrugated drain hose. You may need addi-
tional parts. See Floor drain under "Tools and
Parts."
CONNECT THE INLET HOSES
The washer must be connected to the water
faucets using new inlet hoses (not provided).
Do not use old hoses.
Insert new flat washers 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.
1.
Attach the hose to the hot water faucet.
Screw on coupling by hand until it is seat-
ed on the washer.
2.
Attach the hose to the cold water faucet.
Screw on coupling by hand until it is seat-
ed on the washer.
3.
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with
an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape
or sealants on the valve. Damage to the
valves can result.

Clear the water lines
•
Run water through both faucets and inlet
hoses, into a bucket, drainpipe, or laundry
tub, to get rid of particles in the water lines
that might clog the inlet valve screens.
•
Check the temperature of the water to
make sure that the hot water hose is con-
nected to the hot water faucet and that the
cold water hose is connected to the cold
water faucet.
