Installation Instructions

3CONNECT WATER FILL HOSES TO

FAUCETS

Before connecting hoses to water supply, turn on faucets and flush lines for approximately 2 minutes to remove foreign matter that could clog filter screens in water mixing valve or fill hoses.

Tightly push one screened filter washer onto remaining end of each water fill hose. Attach water hoses to HOT and COLD faucets. BE SURE

HOT WATER HOSE IS CONNECTED TO HOT WATER FAUCET.

Tighten hose connections by hand until snug, then another ¼ turn with pliers. DO NOT cross-thread or over- tighten couplings.

Turn on water and check for leaks. If leaks are found, retighten hose couplings. Continue tightening and rechecking until no leaks are found.

4SECURE DRAIN HOSE TO DRAIN

Remove drain hose from shipping position on rear of washer by unhooking hose from retainer clamp. Use beaded tie-down strap to secure “hook” end of drain hose to standpipe, wall inlet hoses, or laundry tub (must hold at least 20 gallons).

IMPORTANT: To prevent siphoning, do not place ribbed portion of drain hose into standpipe. Avoid air-tight seal around standpipe adapter.

For standpipe installation below 36" (91.4 cm), install Siphon Break Kit part #562P3.
