A. Drain hose reliefs
1.Feed end of drain hose into one end of form. Place end of drain hose form into the drain hose relief.
2.Bend the hose over the top of the form and feed into the other end of the form.
To keep drain water from going back into the washer:
■Do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure but loose enough to provide a gap for air.
■Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.
Floor drain
Do not install the drain hose form on to the corrugated drain hose. You may need additional parts. See Floor drain under “Tools and Parts.”
Connect the Inlet Hoses
1.Insert one new large flat washer into one end of each inlet hose. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
2.Screw on the hose adapter by hand until it is seated on the washer. Using pliers, tighten the hose adapter with an additional

Connect the inlet hoses with the adapters, to the water faucets
Make sure the washer basket is empty.
1.Attach the end of the hose with the adapter, labeled hot, to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer.

Clear the water lines
1.Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water lines that might clog the inlet valve screens.
2.Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.
3.Insert new large flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers in the couplings.
