PLUMBING (Water Inlet)
The straight end of these hoses should be connected to
the supply (Fig. 4). The 90° angled end of these h
oses
should be connected to the inlet valves on the back of
the machine, using one of the washers to make a water
tight seal on
each connection. The couplings should be
tightened by hand, a tool should only be used if a leak
occurs.
Do not use excessive f
orce (see M, Fig. 1).
The Inlet valves are color
coded:
Red = Hot
White = Cold
It is possible to run the machine on cold wate
r only,
but a water supply must be connected to each inlet
valve. To do this we suggest you use "F" connector,
supplied with the
washer
-
dryer (see N, Fig. 2).
IMPORTANT
Make sure the drain hose is not kinked and the water
flow is not restricted.
Standpipe Drain System:
When a st
andpipe installation is used it must be at least
1
¼
" (3.2 cm) in diameter with a minimum carry away
capacity of 7 gallons (
26 liters) per minute.
Wall or Floor Standpipe Drain:
Top of standpipe must be at least 25" (62 cm) high and no
higher than 34"
(86 cm) from bottom of washer (A & B).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the ris
k of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
an
equipment
-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly inst
alled and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
-
Improper connection of the equipment
-
grounding c
onductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whet
her the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
PLUMBING (Water Outlet)
You should carefully position the drain hose to avoid
kinks and ensure proper drainage of the water.
The
outlet end of the drain hose must be at least
20" (50 cm) above the base of the machine. At this
point it is possible for the w
ater to be discharged into
a sink, standpipe or drainpipe.
No more than 6" of the drain hose should insert into a
standpipe. A
ssure an air break is available to prevent
the machine from siphoning in a standpipe.
