Route the Drain Hose
Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these instructions.
The drain hose is connected to the washer. To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:
•Do not straighten the drain hose, and do not force excess drain hose into the standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
•When routing the drain hose through cabinets or walls, use a protective material such as electrical tape to cover sharp edges that could damage the hose.
Remove the Transit Screws/Spacers
First, position the washer so that the rear of the unit is within approximately 3 feet (90 cm) of the final location. There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that sup- port the suspension system during transportation.
1.Using a wrench, loosen each of the bolts.
2.Once loosened, pull out the bolt, including the rubber grommet and the plastic spacer covering the bolt.
3.Once all 4 bolts are removed,
close the holes with the transit bolt hole plugs (provided).
4.Keep the bolts, rubber grommets and plastic spacers in
a safe place. These items should be reinstalled if the machine is transported in the future.
Drain Hose
Connect the Inlet Hoses
Before connecting any hoses, run the faucets until the water is clear to remove any debris. Make sure the drum is empty. Please use the new hoses supplied. Old hoses may cause leaks due to worn out washers or may be split due to water pressure.
1.Connect the angled ends of the hoses to the inlet valves at the back of the machine (20mm threads). Screw on the couplings BY HAND until they are seated on each gasket.
IMPORTANT!
Transit Screws/Spacers must be removed before use.
