Connecting Water Inlet
If the water pipes you will be connecting to are new or unused, run the water until clear to remove any debris that could clog the water valve screens or valves before con- necting the machine. NOTE: Supply
Important: Water pressure MUST range wi-
!thin the values indicated on the “Technical Data” chart.

Standpipe Drain System - Installations require a minimum 1 ¼” (3.2 cm) diameter standpipe with a minimum carry away capacity of 7 gallons (26 liters) per minute.
Wall or Floor Standpipe Drain System - The top of the standpipe must be between 25” (62 cm) - 34” (86 cm) from the bottom of the washer (Fig. 4).

Important: Do not use excessive force. Da- ! mage to the couplings can result. The couplings should be tightened by hand; a tool should only
be used if a leak occurs.
Drainage
•Standpipe Diameter/Capacity - Needs a 1 ¼” minimum diameter standpipe with a minimum
•Top of Standpipe - Must be between 25” - 34” high from the bottom of the machine.
•Outlet End of Drain Hose (provided with the unit) - Must be at least 20” above the bottom of the washer- dryer. An air break must be available at the standpipe to avoid siphoning. No more than 6” of the drain hose should be inserted into the drain pipe to prevent siphoning.
Connecting the drain hose
It is possible for the water to be discharged into a sink, standpipe or drainpipe, but an air break must be available at a min. 20” height to prevent the machine from siphoning (Fig. 6).

Sink Drainpipe System - Entry into the sink drain system must be above the trap (Fig. 5). When routing the drain hose through cabinets or walls, use a protective ma- terial such as electrical or duct tape to cover sharp edges that could damage the drain hose. Use a suitable clamp to secure the drain hose to the “Y” branch or the disposer. With a sink drainpipe system, you may connect directly:
1)to a disposer by following the manufacturers attachment method.
2)directly to a “Y” branch tail piece (available at most hardware stores).
Important: Make sure that the drain hose is
!not kinked and that water flow is not restricted.
3)Through the floor to a separate trap. The trap must be vented to prevent siphoning. To provide proper venting, install an Air Gap Kit (available at most hardware stores).
4)To the to the faucet using a Faucet Adapter Kit (available separately).
