Proper connection of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Read and follow these instructions.

The drain hose is connected to your washer and is stored inside the washer cabinet.

Remove drain hose from washer cabinet

Gently pull the corrugated drain hose out of the washer from the top of the hose. Continue to pull the hose until the end emerges. Do not force excess drain hose back into the rear of the washer.

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.”

Tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

Clear the water lines

■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.

■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.
