For standpipe or laundry tub drain systems

Kenmore 110.4418, 110.4472 manual For standpipe or laundry tub drain systems, Check for leaks

For standpipe or laundry tub drain systems:

1.Open yellow, single-wire clamp with pliers and slide over hooked end of drain hose to secure the rubber and

corrugated sections together.

A. Hooked end

B. Drain hose

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."

1.Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. 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.

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.

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.

Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

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 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.

A. Cold water inlet valve (blue)

B. Hot water inlet valve (red)

Attach the hose with the blue coupling to the COLD water (left) inlet valve. Screw on coupling by hand until 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.
