Check for leaks

Proper connection of the drain hose will help protect your floors from damage due to water leakage. To prevent the drain hose from coming off or leaking, it must be installed according to the following instructions.

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper installation, this procedure must be followed exactly.

For standpipe or laundry tub drain systems:

1.Check the drain hose to see that it is the proper length.

2.Install the U-shaped hose form to end of the drain hose to create a hook-shaped end as shown.

A. Snap either end of the U-shaped hose form to the drain hose at the point where the corrugation begins.

B. Bend drain hose over the form and snap into place.

3= Put hooked end of drain hose into laundry tub or standpipe.

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.

NOTE: To prevent siphoning, do not seal the drain hose to the standpipe.

•Do not lay excess drain hose in bottom of laundry tub.

•For floor drain installation, see kit number required under "Tools and Parts."

There are two hoses provided with the machine. The hot water hose is indicated with a red stripe running the length of the hose.

Insert new flat washers (supplied) into the straight hose fitting of each inlet hose. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.

A.Coupling

B.Washer

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer basket is empty.

1.Attach the hose with the red stripe to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

2.Attach the other hose to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

3.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

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 filter washers. The water should be clean, especially where the system is new or has been left unused for a length of time.

Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

1.Insert the filter washer (supplied) into the coupling of the hose fitting elbow, before connecting the water inlet hose to the valve on the back of the washer.

A. Cold water inlet valve

B. Hot water inlet valve

2= Attach the hose with the red stripe to the HOT (right) inlet valve on the washer. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer. Make sure the hose connection is tight.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.

3= Attach the other hose to the COLD water (left) inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer. Make sure the hose connection is tight.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the valves can result.

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.

•Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
